FAQ’s – Bellarine Weddings
Can I get legally married on the beach in Bellarine?
Yes! Many couples choose a beach wedding in Bellarine, but you’ll need a permit from the local council (usually the City of Greater Geelong or Borough of Queenscliffe). I can guide you through the process to make it hassle-free.
How much does a wedding celebrant cost in Bellarine?
Celebrant fees can vary depending on the type of ceremony and level of personalization. In Bellarine, a professional celebrant typically costs between $800 and $1,500. This includes legal paperwork, ceremony planning, and delivering a heartfelt service on the day.
What’s the best time of year for a Bellarine wedding?
Bellarine weddings are beautiful year-round, but the most popular months are March–May (autumn) and October–December (spring) for milder weather and stunning sunsets. Summer weddings are great too but can be hot, windy and busy!
How long does a wedding ceremony usually last?
A standard wedding ceremony runs for about 20–30 minutes, but I can tailor it to be shorter or longer depending on what suits your vibe. Are you looking for a legals only? Intimate elopement? Or a festival wedding? I’ll work with you.
Do we need witnesses for our ceremony?
Yes! You’ll need two witnesses over the age of 18 to sign the marriage certificate on the day. If you’re eloping, I can help arrange witnesses if needed.
Can we include personal vows and readings?
Absolutely! Your ceremony should be uniquely you. I can help you write personal vows and include readings, rituals, or even a special moment for your pets.
“She managed to capture everything about us”
Photos by Haven images“Our experience with Jo was 15/10, we cannot recommend her enough! All the way from getting a quote and talking about her services at the start through to post-wedding updates and chats, Jo has been outstanding through it all.
She managed to capture everything about us and make a ceremony and reception that we thought was perfect in every way.
She had heartfelt moments with a dash of humour exactly when we wanted it, managed to wrangle a VERY big crowd of people throughout the entire night, and took all the pressure off us on the night by coming up with fun games to keep the crowd amused!
If you are looking for a Celebrant and/or MC for your wedding, please consider Jo, we promise you will be taken care of and will feel so much more relaxed about your big day!”
