What a big decision it is
to marry away from family and friends in another State or
even another Country. It may seem daunting, but in fact, it
is a simple process if you have the right information and
help.
Your Wedding can be planned and organised via email fax or
telephone. It would be my pleasure to help you with the
legal paperwork, ceremony design and recommendations for
other wedding professionals such as a Wedding Planner,
Decorator, Photographer, Florist, Transport, even the two
witnesses for the ceremony can be organised if needed.
I am
also happy to suggest some beautiful restaurants for your
wedding celebration.
 Located on the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney, I live
very close to the world-famous Manly Beach and am within
walking distance to both Freshwater and Curl Curl beaches –
three of the most popular beaches in Sydney, not only for
surfing but for their panoramic views and picturesque
landscape.
There is an abundance of beautiful locations throughout the
Sydney and Northern Beaches areas that are suitable for
weddings. From the scenic Blue Mountains to magnificent
Sydney Harbour, from early morning till evening, it would be
my pleasure to help you create that special lifetime memory.
Available to travel Australia-wide to officiate your
personalised ceremony, please feel free to
contact me with
any questions you may have.
LETTERS FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES
If you are in the process of coming to Australia
to marry and require a Fiancé (Spouse) Visa Letter for
Immigration purposes, I can supply this to you with NO
ADDITIONAL FEE. This letter is written upon receipt of the
Notice of Intended Marriage Form.
PLANNING TO ELOPE?
Manly couples are now choosing to 'Elope' wanting a more
private and intimate ceremony with only their two witnesses,
immediate family or closest friends - the focus being
entirely on the Bride and Groom. If you are looking to
celebrate on a budget but with style, something stress free
and no fuss, yet meaningful and memorable, Louise will
conduct a personalised ceremony at a time and location of
your choice. To view some of Louise's recommended Ceremony
locations, please click here.
All legal aspects of the ceremony and legal documents are
fulfilled as per The Marriage Act 1961.
INTERSTATE COUPLES
Many couples living Interstate choose to marry in Sydney,
and I have had the honour of performing Ceremonies for
couples from all over Australia. So if you would like to
marry on one of our beautiful beaches, by the magnificent
Sydney Harbour, or even on top the Harbour Bridge, please
email me for a “Visitors to Sydney Information Sheet” with
all the information you will need or visit my Weddings Page
for the legalities ~ it’s easier than you think. I am also
happy to travel to your home state for your special day if
you wish.
After your marriage, you will need to apply for your
Official Registered Marriage Certificate from Births Deaths
& Marriages. This is the certificate you will need as proof
of marriage and also for change of name purposes ~ I will
help and advise you on this.
Planning a wedding, especially from Interstate may seem
daunting but with my help, it will be a stress-free and easy
process – I am happy to help you in any way I can.

Dear Louise,
We had a wonderful night, and I must say I have
never seen anyone more suited to a job than you
. Our day was perfect thanks to yourself.
Many thanks

Hi Louise
Your services were of
the highest standard. You are a very lovely,
friendly lady and extremely helpful in
recommending photography, video, transport etc
and if it wasn't for you I would not have known
where to start. As we are not from Sydney we
appreciated your advice on the best location for
our ceremony which was just perfect with the
most glorious weather. Our Ceremony Folder with
a copy of our vows is a lovely momento and one
we will treasure. I cannot thank you enough for
everything. I am so glad you were our Celebrant
and we wish you all the best. You helped create
a PERFECT day for us which will never be
forgotten.
Thanks Louise, sincerely,
Alicia & David - Townsville, Queensland

Hi Louise,
Shaun and I would just like to say thank you for
your fantastic and friendly service. As Shaun
said in during the ceremony, "who said long
distance doesn't work?"
You made what could have been a very difficult
decision easy. You were the only celebrant that
called to introduce themselves and we are
extremely glad that we went with you.
You are friendly, caring and professional (and
not forgetting very natural). You blended in
completely with our family and friends and made
everyone feel very at ease.... especially Shaun.
If we ever have any friends who decide to get
married in Sydney we will definitely be
recommending you.
Thank you.

Friendship, Darling Harbour |

Dear Louise,
We were extremely happy with your service. We
had the perfect day thanks to you. Everything
went well considering we were interstate and I
believe that it was due to all the
correspondence we had with you. You took us on
at very short notice and we will be very
grateful always for that ~ THANKYOU…..

OVERSEAS COUPLES
Many couples living Overseas choose to marry in Australia,
and I have had the honour of performing Ceremonies for
couples from all over the world. So if you would like to
marry on one of our beautiful beaches, by magnificent Sydney
Harbour, or on top of the Harbour Bridge please email me for
an “Overseas Visitors to Sydney Information Sheet” with all
the information you will need or visit my Weddings Page for
the legalities ~ it’s easier than you think.
After your marriage, you will need to apply for your
Official Registered Marriage Certificate from Births Deaths
& Marriages. This is the certificate you will need so that
your marriage is recognised in your home country ~ I will
help and advise you on this.
Also, some countries require this certificate to have a
special stamp which must be obtained at your country’s
Consulate or the Department of Foreign Affairs before you
leave to go home ~ it cannot be done after you leave
Australia. It is advisable to find out your exact
requirements before you leave your country of origin.
Planning a wedding, especially from an overseas country may
seem daunting but with my help, it will be a stress free and
easy process – I am happy to help you in any way I can.

Dearest Louise,
Thank you for keeping it very very warm for all
of us this morning. There was no amount of the
early spring rain nor the late winter's chill
that penetrated the warm atmosphere you have
created with us. You are very gifted and we are
so blessed to have you as part of our wedding
ceremony. Thank you for sending the details so
promptly.
Sincerely,
~ Adam & Ria - Vermont, USA
Ceremony Location: Bradfield Park,

Living overseas, we had
to organise all of our wedding remotely, and
early on we made contact with Louise Spedding to
act as our celebrant for our casual wedding
service to be held on Shelley Beach. From the
outset, we felt as though Louise understood us,
and the type of ceremony that we were after.
With the tool box provided by Louise, we were
able to tailor the ceremony to exactly the way
we wanted it.
Louise guided and
prompted us all the way, and the whole planning
process for the ceremony was smooth, and a lot
of fun! (even more impressive as it was done
mostly via email!) On the day Louise delivered
the ceremony with great engaging energy in a
very warm, heartfelt and personal way! Thank you
Louise!! We have no hesitation to recommend your
services to anyone!!

Dear Louise
Thank you once again for
all your hard work and not-so-small contribution
to making our wedding the magical day that it
was. We wouldn't change a thing about the
ceremony - it was perfect! It has meant so much
to have someone who got to know us so well from
the other side of the world which made our day
so very special.
Thanks again Louise
With love,

Dear Louise,
We can’t thankyou enough for making our special
day so perfect! Your friendliness was so
reassuring and when we met you it was like we
had known each other for ages! It was so nice of
you to run us around and make sure we had the
best location possible ~ this lifted the stress
from us which is just what we needed after a
long flight! We were 100% happy with our wedding
location all thanks to you for your hard work in
sorting this out. We would have no hesitation in
recommending you to anyone as you provide an all
round first class service! Warmest wishes,
~

Hi Louise
We had an absolutely fabulous time in Australia,
and our wedding day was really special - we've
just been looking at the photos and videos
tonight. Thanks again for leading our ceremony -

earth approach which was exactly what we were
looking for. Thanks to you, we really enjoyed
our special day.
With our very best wishes,

Dear Louise,
Thankyou very much for the service, it was just
what we wanted; no frills, concise but with a
heart. We loved the way that we were married in
Sydney. We received all the necessary documents
in good time with your guidance and hope it will
go smoothly in Belgium.
Thanks again, and we
will definitely keep in touch.

Hi Louise,
We want to thank you from the bottom of our
hearts for making that unbelievably special day
happen. You were fantastic, so warm and caring
and your beautiful calming presence helped make
both myself and Mark feel completely relaxed,
because of that we absorbed every second of our
amazing day and for that alone we cannot thank
you enough. You're witty and charming and we
thank god you were out there when we needed you.
Something in the cosmos brought us
together...fate is a wonderful thing. Louise, I
have never met someone so suited to their job,
you have definitely found your calling.
We have just arrived back home after a
fabulously long honeymoon and are now ready to
take on the world as Mr & Mrs. We have some
beautiful and hilarious photographs of the day
that we will send to you when we get them
sorted.
Keep in touch & thinking about you.
Love and best wishes
