Renewing vows on Holidays - how to organise?

I am hoping that next year during the easter holidays that we are able to go away for a week or two. It will coincide with our 10th wedding anniversary and I am entertaining the idea of renewing our vows while away, with just us and the kids. But how on earth do I go about even organising it? How different is renewing your vows to actually making them? do you need a 'ceremony' of sorts or is it more along the lines of a dedication? I have no idea where to even start LOL, but the holiday will definitely be somewhere on the coast.

No idea on how to organise it hun.
Maybe call a celebrant and find out or sometimes travel agents might be able to give you a bit of an idea.
Congratulations and GL xx

What a wonderful idea! Congratulations on 10 years.

First step is probably to contact a celebrant, just for a chat, see if they "get" what you're after, much like choosing one for a wedding. There's not really much else to do from there, but they'd be able to give you great ideas for good spots to do it, where to go for dinner afterwards etc! I wish we had picked our celebrant before we booked anything, she had so much local inside info.

Which coast will it be on? Our wedding celebrant is coastal and was absolutely brilliant. Brilliant.

Trill did you want a ceremony? Do you want a dedication in a church? Maybe where you are staying could organise something for you?
If you want to use a celebrant. I can recommend a lovely lady in Byron Bay if you're going up that way (my old boss), but just google celebrants Australia. There's a website that lists them by location.

Thanks for the help everyone! It would be somewhere between Coffs and Port Stephens - haven't decided which one but more likely Coffs. I wouldn't want a church one again, I would like to have something casual, possibly on the beach even and maybe more just a dedication as opposed to the whole shebang again LOL. So a celebrant would be the way to go I"m thinking. Kim, I will have a google and see what I can find.

We got married on the beach - I pulled eleven local celebrants' names out of the yellow pages, called a couple, and found one that I loved, so, yes, I think that is the way to go.

Trillian how exciting and what a beautiful idea.
