Lake Macquarie, NSW
Marriage celebrant in Lake Macquarie
Jetties, water and long afternoons
The biggest saltwater lake in the southern hemisphere, and it behaves itself far better than the ocean on a windy day. Backyards with jetties, foreshore reserves, and that long golden hour over the water that makes photographers very happy.
Whatever shape your day takes in Lake Macquarie — a full wedding, an elopement for two, or a vow renewal with three generations watching — the ceremony is written from a blank page and every piece of legal paperwork is handled for you.
Lake Macquarie City Council permits apply at most foreshore reserves.

Paperwork, decoded
Is your date still legal?
Australian law needs your Notice of Intended Marriage at least one calendar month before you marry — and no more than eighteen. Put your date in and find out exactly where you sit.
A guide only, not legal advice. In limited circumstances a prescribed authority can shorten the one-month notice period — if you are inside it, ask Sharon rather than assume.
Kind words
What couples say afterwards
Half the room was crying by the second paragraph and the other half was laughing. She somehow got both our families in there without it ever feeling like a list.
We are not ceremony people. We told her that at the first meeting. She wrote us something ten minutes long that we still quote at each other.
The paperwork side of it never once became our problem. She just quietly dealt with all of it and told us where to sign.
Thirty years married and she still found something new to say about us. Our kids had not heard half of those stories.

No obligation, no hard sell, no package deck. Just a conversation about your day and whether Sharon is the right person to stand in front of you.
