How long before my wedding will you arrive?

I usually arrive about an hour before to set up my gear and check that everything is as you have instructed.

That gives me plenty of time to liaise with the venue coordinator, photographer, videographers, and/or musicians as needed. I can also keep an eye on the groom/bride in case they need a bit of TLC before their fiancé arrives!

How do I change my name after marriage?

Changing your name after marriage is not a legal requirement and it is not an automatic process. If you want to change your name, you will need a marriage certificate issued directly from the Dept. Birth, Deaths, and Marriages in Queensland if you are married here in Queensland. You will receive an information pack for this from me following your ceremony.
