About Sonia Thomas Wedding Celebrant
Sonia Thomas is a registered civil and religious marriage celebrant based in Essendon Fields, a short trip from Melbourne Airport. Alongside her celebrancy she serves as a Christian pastor and teacher, and brings over three decades of public speaking to each ceremony. Couples looking for a faith-based ceremony with scripture, prayers and blessings can have one, while couples wanting a civil wedding get the same care without the religious elements. Planning starts with a face-to-face meeting at her office or over Zoom, with day and evening appointments on offer. Sonia prepares and lodges the legal documents – the Notice of Intended Marriage, the declaration of no legal impediment and the marriage certificates – and then works with the couple on vows, readings, poems and music so the ceremony tells their own story. Her Diamond full-service package adds a full rehearsal at an agreed location, a music playlist with a Bose PA system and wireless microphone, a decorated signing table option, a keepsake certificate and vows, and ordering of the official certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages. The Gold package suits micro weddings, the Silver package covers a legals-only wedding in her office with two adult witnesses, and the vow renewal package suits couples marking a milestone anniversary. Sonia holds Certificate IV qualifications in Marriage Celebrancy and in Training and Assessment, and keeps a large library of vows, music, prayers and blessings.
