  • Book your wedding celebrant as soon as you know the date, time and venue for your wedding.

  • If it’s for your wedding, you will need to bring original birth certificates, passports and drivers’ licences. If previously married, you will also need divorce or death certificates. If your certificates are in another language, we require an authorised, translated copy.

    If it’s for another type of ceremony, just bring yourselves.

  • To marry the love of your life, you must be 18 years of age and not currently married. If one person is under 18, marriage is still possible as per section 12 of the marriage act. We can explain this to you. You must be free to marry as per Australian law.

  • The Marriage Act requires that a Notice of Intended Marriage (N.O.I.M) must be lodged with an authorised wedding celebrant at least one calendar month prior to your wedding ceremony. It is valid for 18 months. We can prepare the N.O.I.M for your signatures and will witness it.
