WEDDINGS
If you have come to this page then you are planning your wedding and searching for a Celebrant to conduct your ceremony. Firstly, may I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your engagement!
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and it should be a reflection of the Bride and Groom. I make it my business to ensure that your wedding ceremony is exactly that...YOURS
Naturally there are a few legal requirements which I must abide by to ensure your nuptules are legit for example the Monitum and the Asking but the rest of the ceremony is yours for the making. I have sample ceremonies to help get you started as well as sample vows ranging from traditional to contemporary and a few humorous in between but that's not all...
Have you seen the page What You Get? When you book It's Worth Celebrating for your wedding day you don't just get a professional celebrant to write and conduct your ceremony; you also get a commemorative copy of your ceremony in print and a commemorative bottle of wine labeled with a picture of yourselves on the day!
HOW DO WE BEGIN?
Before you can get married you must complete a Notice Of Intended Marriage (NOIM). This form must be completed and witnessed no sooner than one month and one day prior to your wedding date but must be within 18 months of your wedding date otherwise it will expire. You will also be required to complete a Statutory Declaration, declaring that you are of marriagable age and that there is no legal impediment to your proposed marriage. I have all these documents on hand and we can complete them together at our first meeting or, if you prefer to get a headstart, they can be downloaded from the Attorney Generals Website.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
When we have our first meeting you will need to bring the following documents with you:
Proof of Age - Original Full Birth Certificate, OR Original Extract of Birth, OR if born overseas, Valid (non Australian) Passport.
If you have been divorced you must bring your Decree Absolute/Certificate of Divorce.
If you are widowed you must bring your previous spouses' Death Certificate as well as a copy of your prior Marriage Certificate.
