A reading is often a great way to capture the essence of your relationship.  Many couples I marry on the Coffs Coast choose to include a short reading, poem or verse during their ceremony.  There are many readings available for use.  It may even be an excerpt from a cherished Valentine’s Day card or even a favourite verse from a song.  It’s up to you.

I have some great suggested readings in my ‘Couples Area’ on my website.  Consider asking family or a close friend to share the reading with your guests during your ceremony.  They will be absolutely honoured that you have entrusted them to be part of your special day – trust me.  As a trusted and experienced marriage celebrant I can help you create exactly what you are looking for in a wedding ceremony.  Married By Simon – celebrating happiness since 2018!

    Simon was a pleasure to deal with. We felt our ceremony was unique and special. We just loved how Simon put in a story at the start of our story of how we met, fell in love and became engaged. Thank you so very much Simon, I will definitely recommend you to future family and friends. 11 out of 10 for a great ceremony.

  • Thank you Simon, for your overwhelming enthusiasm for our wedding with a difference. We couldn’t believe how dedicated and supportive you were in making it something we will never forget. To see you walking down the aisle as Lord Darth Vader was an image that will remain with us forever. Your kind words, your sense of humour and your willingness to do whatever it took to make our day just the way we imagined. Your personal service and professional commitment was unwavering and it was our honour to have you preside over our marriage… We would most highly recommend you to anyone. May the force be with you! And that’s no word of a lie!!!
