Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Keith Lammond and I am an authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant
Originally from Wales, I have been living in Australia since 1977 and became an Australian Citizen in 1986.
I was appointed an authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant in 1994 and since that time I have had the pleasure of officiating at the marriages of many happy couples. Regardless of size of wedding, five people or even five hundred people, they are all special and I treat each one as importantly as the next. My ceremonies have a relaxed and sincere atmosphere.
In addition to marriage ceremonies I also participate in Re-affirmation and Commitment Ceremonies.
Although I live in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, I officiate at marriages throughout the city and metropolitan areas. From the picture on the right you will see that I have recently solemnised a marriage high above the countryside in a hot air balloon. What a fantastic experience that was. See Overseas visitors wishing to marry page.
Many couples are now requesting the use of P.A. systems especially for the larger weddings and for venues where there can be some peripheral noise. I have now updated my system which includes a CD player, a radio tie clip microphone for my use and a hand held radio microphone to be used by people doing readings. There are no cords to get in the way. As you can see from the attached picture the system sits on a stand so cannot be obstructed by guests standing nearby.
? Friendly, relaxed, formal and informal ceremonies in keeping with your requirements for your special day. All weddings, large or small, are treated with the same professionalism and are all very special.
? The initial interview to lodge the Notice of Intended Marriage, and to discuss wedding day plans, can be held at a location convenient to you, e.g. at your home, office, or you can visit me if preferred.
? You can choose from a range of sample ceremonies or compose a personalised ceremony uniquely your own.
? A second interview is held just prior to the wedding day to finalise the ceremony and to ensure that the chosen ceremony meets with your requirements and satisfaction. Additional meetings can be arranged if required at no extra cost.
? On the day of your marriage you will be presented with a ?keepsake? professionally printed copy of the wedding ceremony and a personalised Guest Book for guests to sign as a memento of this special occasion.
? Should you have family/friends overseas, inter-state or intra-state and you wish them to be a part of your special day - talk to me - I may have a way to include them. Many couples have taken advantage of this offer.
