A renewal of vows is a beautiful way to honour the life you have built together. Mark a 10th, 25th or 50th anniversary, or simply pick a day that feels right.
Because you are already married, there is no Notice of Intended Marriage and no registration with Births, Deaths and Marriages. Come for a chat in Balmain or on Zoom and we'll go from there.
How we shape your vow renewal
New vows, and the people who missed the first time
Together we shape an introduction that tells your journey, new vows that look back and look ahead, and any rituals you love. Family who missed your wedding can finally be there too.
Why couples choose me
No paperwork. Just you, your people, and the next chapter.
I listen, I write a ceremony that sounds like you, and I arrive early so you can enjoy it. I've been an authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant in Balmain for more than 14 years. Have a read of the testimonials.
Tell me your date, your venue and a favourite memory or two. I can't wait to meet you.
Frequently asked questions
A vow renewal is a celebration of the love and commitment you already share. It can mark an anniversary, a new chapter, or simply a desire to say “I do” again in front of the people who matter most.
Unlike a legal wedding, a vow renewal is not a marriage under Australian law — which means the focus can stay on story, emotion and atmosphere.

That freedom lets you design a ceremony that feels personal and celebratory — intimate and quiet, or a larger gathering with family and friends.
