Celebration of your love
Commitment Ceremonies
A Commitment Ceremony is NOT a wedding. A Commitment Ceremony is a wonderful way for a couple to express their devotion to one another. It is a "bonding of love" between two people whether they are of the same gender couples or heterosexual couples.
I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you, not only for yourself, but for what you are making of me.
In Australia, this type of ceremony is not legally binding but instead it serves to show the couples’ commitment and love to each other and to receive public validation of their relationship from their family and friends.
Such a ceremony can also be known as ‘Blessing Ceremony’, Union Ceremony’ or a ‘Joining Ceremony’. Whatever you want to call it, the significance of this ceremony is that it is an important rite of passage marking the transition from one social state to another in front of the couple’s family and friends. The ceremony can take place in a private garden or one of Sydney’s many parks, a home or any venue that is special to the couple.
A Commitment Ceremony can include readings, a ‘statement of commitment’, the exchanging of rings, rituals and music. Again I am there to guide the couple with the loan of my comprehensive commitment manual. At the end of the day, the ceremony that I deliver will be that special ceremony the happy couple wanted.
