Wedding Celebrant Services

---

To get married in Australia, you must:

• not be married
• not be marrying a parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother or sister
• be at least 18 years old, unless a court has approved a marriage where 1 person is 16-18 years old
• understand what marriage means and freely agree to marry
• use specific words during the ceremony

On your special day..

Whether you wish to hold your wedding during the day, evening, on a boat, in a garden, beach or in a reception venue, I am very happy to perform your special ceremony.

I will provide you with all the legal information and assist you to create the style of ceremony that will reflect you and your partners individual personalities and help you realise your wishes for a truly memorable day.

• a Notice of Intended Marriage must be lodged with your celebrant no  later than one month prior to the wedding date, and signed by an  authorised person. You will still have to provide the appropriate photo  identification and proof of date and place of birth (eg. birth  certificate and drivers license or passport)      
• If either party  has previously been married, you will need divorce certificate, a death  certificate or proof of the dissolution of the marriage.

You don’t have to be:

• an Australian citizen
• a permanent resident of Australia

A commitment ceremony is similar to a wedding ceremony with the exception that it can not be registered. It is a public affirmation of a couple's commitment to one another. The wording of the ceremony can be structured to the couple's own preferences.

A certificate will be issued and signed by the couple and a copy of the ceremony on parchment paper will be given as a memento.

A vow renewal is a ceremony where a couple publically re-commits to their relationship by expressing their enduring love for one another.

A sentimental rather than an official legal event, a vow renewal is a way for a couple to commemorate an important milestone, such as a major wedding anniversary or important personal milestone.
