Civil Wedding Services

Welcome to Abbe Marriage Services. This site has been setup to assist my clients with the planning of their marriage ceremony. I have been happily working as a celebrant since 1994 and I love my job. With all my time devoted to my clients I believe that I can provide the best possible service for your wedding ceremony.

So if you are thinking about a civil service, contact me via email or call me direct (07) 3343 7823 and we can discuss how my civil services can match your requirements for a celebrant. As a Brisbane based civil celebrant, I'm aware of many lovely sites for a ceremony around our beautiful city and those secret spots up & down our beautiful coast. Civil ceremonies don't have to be ordinary and I will ensure that your event will stand out amongst your peers as a perfect day.  So if its a civil marriage, baby naming ceremony or renewal of vows, I can help you find the perfect location.   

Should you have any questions leading up to the planning of your civil service this site should answer some questions about the marriage process and give you some useful information and some great articles.  I'm happy to go that bit extra distance for my couples so if there is a special request contact myself and we can chat about how my experience can help you.

My Marriage Documents section lists most forms that you will need to have a civil ceremony in Australia as well as providing some useful links for the Brisbane area.  I have provided a sample ceremony to assist your understanding of what happens in a civil ceremony, and a link to download a Notice of Intention to Marry form.  If you are thinking of getting married, I recommend visiting the Pre-marriage advice section which has a free couple compatibility quiz and some contact numbers for more information.  The Wedding news is just some fun information about past weddings that I have conducted and how I have worked to help my clients have a trouble free day.  It also lists some current popular news articles from around the world such as Guinness World Records, celebrity wedding news and quirky ceremonies.  The FAQ section is the kind of questions people may feel embarrassed to ask. 

Some couples want the perfect wedding but what they really mean is that they want the ceremony to reflect their style & personality. The smallest civil ceremony can be the perfect wedding for some couples. So please browse my site and contact me so we can talk about your plans.

I also provide a number of other services such as Baby Naming, Renewal of Vows ceremonies and Commitment Ceremonies. I always feel that these occasions are special and I'm open to new venues that you might suggest such as pavilions on the beach, sailing in the bay or watching the sun set in stunning mountain locations, I love being part of your special day.  You want your wedding to be special and I want to help you make the day perfect.
