good stories

start here.

Choosing your official third wheel is a daunting task. You want someone that fits your energy, your values, YOUR VIBE.

A hitcher that makes you feel comfortable, that understands your priorities and that has YOU at heart.

Over at JBCCHQ (that’s my humble dining room table, for those of you playing at home) constructing your ceremony is a collaborative approach.

We chat, I ask you a bunch of weird + wonderful questions and then send you home with some fun, lighthearted questionnaires so that I can delve deep into your relationship vault.

They say theirs always three versions of every story; yours, mine and the truth - and your ceremony is a cocktail of all three - blended perfectly into a rom-com-esque tale with YOU as the main characters.

Spoiler alert: you end up madly in love, married and celebrating your happily ever afters.

this is how we do it.

Let’s meet up for a ‘no-strings-attached’ coffee, gin, walking or zoom date so we can check if we mesh.

At your beck and call if you ever want to chat about anything/everything to do with your wedding day? I’m your gal - tips, tricks, inspo or info - I’ve been to a lotta weddings + I’m happy to help.

Vow writing is a breeze with my killer guide and brainstorming session. We chat about your ideal length, vibe + style, put together a bit of a framework and away you go. Once you’re done, I’ll compare side by side, add the legal bits and hit print!

PA + microphone comes standard with all ceremonies. For the tech-heads, it’s a Bose S1 pro and a Sennheiser cordless mic. AKA it’s a kick-ass audio system to make sure you love story is heard LOUD and clear. (pro tip: videographers love this system for recording your ceremony + vow audio)

Serious business of course… all the legal paperwork and your official certificate of marriage from the NSW BDM - paid for + delivered to your door.

The big day; the BIG HURRAH; an engaging ceremony guaranteed to get you and your pals celebrating long into the night!

The aftermath with all the extra bits of info including how to change your name, a copy of your ceremony and a lifetime of me commenting on your insta posts.

bare bones legals.

Did you know that the closest registry office to Newcastle is in Sydney?

AND that prices start at over $470 PLUS the cost of your certificate?!

Well, how’s this for you? Registry-style weddings in NEWCASTLE with vibrancy!

Optional vows + rings.

In the ocean, by the lake, over a gin, or at a cafe;

your kitchen bench, or hot air balloon
