Well Experienced
Philip Greentree has many years of experience in administration and public speaking. He is able to put his experience to work in a variety of ways, whether that be weddings, naming ceremonies, funeral services etc.

Time
Philip has a firm policy in relation to time: He seeks to arrive at least 40 minutes, but generally 60 minutes before the commencement of the ceremony in order to set up his PA system, table etc., and then, hopefully, have a few minutes to relax.

Emergency Contact
Philip requires a contact mobile phone number to call when he is departing for your location, and to call if he runs into difficulties such as

getting lost, car problems etc. This will enable you to send a "recovery party" to get him to your function.

Signing Table
Philip provides a small table complete with chair and table cloths.

Above all else, this is YOUR day and Philip seeks to achieve that in his professional but easy style.

Special Considerations
Philip willingly travels interstate to perform his specialist ceremonies, especially ancient Scottish. There are numerous daily return flights between Newcastle-Brisbane and Newcastle-Melbourne.

Trading terms require a deposit be paid within 14-days on your engaging Philip as your celebrant. The remainder is payable 17-days prior to the ceremony.

Training
Philip received his marriage celebrancy training from Roger Thompson, the former Registrar of the ACT Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, and acknowledged as one of Australia's most experienced celebrants.
