What paperwork do I need to begin my wedding arrangements ?

Make sure you do your paperwork

You need to check in your state exactly what paperwork you are required to organise before you get married.  You must give your marriage celebrant at least one month notice and you must fill out a “Notice Of Intended Marriage Form“.  Generally, your celebrant will need to see evidence of the date and place of birth of both of you, or a current overseas passport if you were born outside Australia and  evidence of any previous divorce or death of any spouse, if applicable (e.g. divorce papers, death certificate). Be sure to give yourself enough time to get all of the documentation you require.

Element in Lower Plenty has been revamped and it's fabulous

I had the privilege of conducting Sue and Ralph’s wedding at the weekend at Element Restaurant and Events in Lower Plenty.  The venue was previously known as La Fontana and is now under new management.   Element offers  a welcoming, versatile, yet intimate venue nestled amongst 2 acres of secluded and  beautifully maintained gardens. Everything can be found in the one location. You don’t have to travel anywhere and there is plenty of safe and secure parking. Get married in the charming, romantic rotunda, or the terrace or indoors in the function room which boasts fabulous garden views.  Have your photos taken onsite in the varied picturesque locations while your guests enjoy alfresco pre-dinner drinks on the terrace.  Check out this fantastic venue at  www.elementrestaurant.com.au
