Planning checklist & FAQs

Short checklist and answers to common ceremony questions for Sydney couples.

Yes — many Sydney councils require permits for ceremonies and equipment. We handle permit checks as part of venue research.

Most ceremonies run 12–20 minutes. Micro-ceremonies can be under 10 minutes; include readings and vows to adjust length.

We prepare rain plans (marquees, indoor backup venues) and communicate alternate timelines to vendors and guests.
