Cultural/Fusion Ceremonies

A lovely way to celebrate who you are is to honour your cultural background and traditions in your ceremony.

Incorporating traditions from your heritage can add immensely to the ceremony, and can go a long way to making older members of your families feel comfortable and respected.

This might be something as simple as sharing wine in the Chinese or Jewish traditions, holding your commitment ceremony under a canopy, or it can mean following closing the traditions of wedding ceremonies or baby naming ceremonies in your culture. You can have a full-on Scottish Tartan Ceremony to the skirl of the pipes, celebrate everything Australian with a True-Blue Aussie Ceremony, incorporate Buddhist and other traditions in a Spiritual Ceremony, acknowledge your Celtic (Irish or Scottish) heritage by including a handfasting ritual. Anything you wish to include can be accommodated.

Where you come from two different cultural backgrounds, or you have been influenced by a number of different cultures, you can have a fusion wedding (yes, although same-sex couples cannot yet be legally married in Australia, you can still have the wedding of your dreams).

A fusion wedding is a wedding that includes elements from multiple cultures in a sensitive and mindful fashion that avoids appropriating rituals that have no meaning to those attending the ceremony. As your celebrant I will work with you to find the commonality in various cultural rituals and ceremony elements and draw those common elements together in a way is respectful and meaningful.
