Weddings:
Trudy’s philosophy for weddings is simple - create and conduct a Ceremony that reflects the couples
relationship and for the Ceremony to be exactly what the couple wish for.

Above all, Trudy McGee really loves what she does, and this shows in the care and attention
she pays to even the smallest details.

For Trudy, being a Celebrant is a wonderful role which enriches her every time
from the moment she first meets a couple,  up until they ride off for photos after the ceremony. 

For you, your special day begins with the ceremony and, with Trudy to guide you every step of the way,
you know you are in truly experienced and loving hands.

Trudy has compiled material that may help you decide which direction you wish your ceremony to take Formal, Informal, Relaxed, Adventurous or Exotic. You will be given Sample Vows, Readings and Poems and Trudy will “personalize” your Ceremony to ensure your Service is beautiful, moving and have true meaning to you both so that you will remember it as the highlight of your life, not just your day. If you have a special poem or song, why not include this in your Ceremony as well and you will find Trudy will give you some lovely ideas too.

Civil Marriage Ceremonies are far outstripping the number of Church weddings because they offer couples freedom of choice.  As some Ceremonies are conducted outdoors, Trudy can supply a P.A. system to enable your guests to hear and therefore enjoy, your Ceremony. You are welcome to use the P.A. to play your wedding ceremony music on the day.
Once you have decided on your wedding date, it's a good idea to contact Trudy for an appointment.
You will need to bring the following documents with you :

The Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) form must be completed at least one month and one day before
your marriage and no more than 18 months beforehand.

You can download the form from this website:
(or Trudy can supply this form at the first meeting and witnesses your signatures)

If you were born in Australia, you will need to bring your original Birth Certificate.
If you don't have an original Birth Certificate, you can apply to the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages.  For Queensland Registrations, you can download the form from this website:

If you were born overseas and don't have your Birth Certificate, your Passport will need to be sighted.
If you have been previously married, your Decree Absolute or Certificate of Divorce is required.
If you have been widowed, please bring the Death Certificate.

The relevant documents pertaining to your situation are required to correctly complete the Notice of Intended Marriage.

“SIGNING” On Your Wedding Day:

Following the ceremony, you will sign 3 Marriage Certificates.
The 1st is the Official Marriage Certificate which is sent to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.  The 2nd is a copy which is kept in Trudy's Marriage Register as a record of your marriage and the 3rd is the Certificate presented to you on the day - a numbered and registered “Commonwealth” Wedding Certificate.
If you wish, you can also order a Commemorative Certificate. 
Samples of these Certificates are available here
