Terry Ayling- Uniting

If you're looking for a fresh and bright approach to your marriage planning and Ceremony, then I may be your man! 

I'm Hamilton Island's On-Island Religious Marriage Celebrant and the Uniting Church's Whitsundays Tourism Chaplain.

As one of the youngest male celebrants in the Whitsundays. I offer a warm and engaging style, inclusive and progressive values and a contemporary expression, which ensure that each and every Ceremony I conduct is a uniquely crafted celebration, of your lives and relationship.

Authentic, relevant and sensitively connected to your spirituality, values and religious style, I'll insightfully work with you, before and after your Marriage Ceremony, to ensure that your marriage becomes everything you've imagined it to be!

As an On-Island Celebrant, I'm available - whenever you need me (even after hours!), flexible* - for a sunrise or sunset wedding or to alter ceremony times if the weather's uncertain; value - able to offer back to you in service, what I save in time and money travelling; and dependable - here after you're married, able to welcome you back on holidays; to celebrate a anniversary; reaffirm your wedding vows; or share in a thanksgiving or baptism ceremony for your children.

I'm available to all couples, irrespective of their spirituality, tradition, background, or relationship history and because I'm not tied to the Chapel, wherever you choose to celebrate your Marriage, I'll work with you to make the most of this idyllic location.

As I take a keen interest in you and your marriage, I invite you to take a moment to look at the things already included in my Celebrancy package as well as some of the Value Added Packages that'll enable you to prepare for and enrich your marriage in the years ahead.

I'll look forward to getting to know you more and to sharing in the celebration of your Wedding Day!

* Flexibility in regard to Ceremony times &/or location is subject to the availability of associated services and must be approved by Hamilton Island Weddings. Extra costs may be incurred for these changes.
