I have a short standard ceremony with minimal personalisation and standard vows for those that just want the basics but cant choose the registry option because they want to get married on a weekend or in the evening or because they will have more than 20 guests. There is no rehearsal and no face to face meeting included in this option - although because I have to check your ID I may pop by before your wedding to check that and just introduce myself in person. Available Levin through to Porirua, any day of the week but not on public holidays or long weekends. Ideal for couples who really want something simple and who don't want to be front and center for too long. Comes with standard vows and not too many words for those who hate the thought of speaking in public.
Budget/Simple
