This site is being built and the celebrant registration number is not published on it yet. Until it is, nothing here should be taken as evidence that this business may solemnise a marriage — that is a claim only the Commonwealth Attorney-General's register of marriage celebrants can settle, and the number will be published here and linked to that register at the same time.

How a ceremony works

A first conversation, in person or on the phone, about what you want the ceremony to be. For a wedding, the Notice of Intended Marriage is signed at that meeting or soon after — it has to be lodged at least one calendar month before the day. A draft script comes back to you to change as much as you like. A rehearsal where it helps. On the day, arrival well before your guests, a PA that works outdoors, and the paperwork lodged with the registry within fourteen days.

What this costs

Everything is published on the prices page — both a weekday and a weekend figure for every ceremony, GST included, with travel, permits and add-ons listed rather than added later. Roughly a third of the celebrants working across this region publish no price at all. The cheapest ceremony here is $450 and the dearest $2,150.

Reviews

Reviews are collected on the Google Business Profile and read there. Nothing on this site publishes a rating about itself: Google treats a rating a business supplies about its own work as self-serving, and an assistant reading a star count off a business's own page has learned nothing it could not have made up.

Not yet taking enquiries here

This site is being built. The phone number, the Google listing and the entry on the Attorney-General's register of marriage celebrants will be published together, as one identical set — which is what a search engine needs in order to be sure they all describe the same business.

Prices, inclusions and paperwork on this site are complete and current. Only the contact details are outstanding.
