Marriage Ceremony

For a marriage ceremony to be legally binding, there are essentially 3 requirements on the day:

  1. The Marriage Celebrant must state their legal authority to perform marriages and must state the definition of marriage according to law in Australia.
  2. The couples must exchange vows – these include a specific statement as well as their own vows if they so wish.
  3. The couple sign the certificates ( with two witnesses )and the marriage register

Other aspects, such as rituals, symbolism, exchange of rings, readings and music are the couple’s choosing.
I am committed to ensuring the unique requests of every couple are honoured and acknowledged  – their values, style , cultural traditions.
Each wedding ceremony is unique to the couple -that is my promise.
