Choosing a Marriage Celebrant

A celebrant writes and runs your ceremony and handles the legal paperwork that makes the marriage official. The celebrants here marry couples across the metropolitan regions; a little over half also list the Adelaide Hills, and fewer list the Southern Vales & Coast.

Style is where they differ most. Some lean towards humour and getting guests involved, others towards something calm and elegant, and a few can carry on as MC once the ceremony ends.

At a first meeting with a celebrant, cover these points:

  • Fees: headline prices here run from $595 to $1,550, so ask what each level includes, from a legal-only signing to a fully written ceremony.
  • Paperwork: ask about the notice of intended marriage, when it must be lodged and who looks after it.
  • Rehearsal: find out whether one is included and where it can happen.
  • Sound: check whether the celebrant brings a microphone and speaker, which matters for any outdoor ceremony.
  • Extras: some celebrants also MC or play music at the reception, which can save a separate booking through MC hire.
  • Inclusion: if you want LGBTQIA+ inclusive language, ask directly and ask to hear a ceremony they have written that way.

Meet two or three celebrants before deciding, in person or by video. The right one is the person whose way of speaking sounds like your day.

Weather and the ceremony spot

  • A summer ceremony outdoors needs shade and water for guests, and a shorter ceremony helps on a heatwave afternoon.
  • Most of the rain falls between roughly May and September, so agree an indoor or covered fallback with both the celebrant and the venue.
  • The Adelaide Hills are cooler and wetter than the plains, so plan for a chilly ceremony there even outside winter.
  • For a McLaren Vale or Hills wedding, confirm the celebrant covers that area and whether travel is charged on top.

Shaping the words

  • Decide early whether you want readings, family involvement, a ring warming or vows you write yourselves.
  • Ask to see a sample script, or hear part of one read aloud.
  • Agree a running time so the photographer and venue can plan the timeline around it.
  • Small weddings and elopements can be kept simple, with two witnesses and the legal words at the core.

Common Questions About Celebrants

How much do marriage celebrants charge around Adelaide?

Headline fees on this page run from $595 to $1,550. The difference usually reflects how much writing, meeting time and on-the-day support is included, so ask each celebrant what their price covers.

Will an Adelaide celebrant marry us in the Hills or McLaren Vale?

A little over half of the celebrants here list the Adelaide Hills, and fewer list the Southern Vales & Coast. Give the venue address when you first make contact and ask about travel charges.

Can we have a legal-only signing instead of a full ceremony in Adelaide?

Yes, several celebrants offer quick legal ceremonies and elopements alongside full weddings. You still need the notice of intended marriage lodged in time and two adult witnesses on the day.

What is the plan if rain hits an outdoor ceremony in South Australia?

Agree a covered or indoor fallback with the celebrant and venue in advance, especially between May and September when most of the rain falls. Decide who makes the call on the day and by what time.

Is it possible for our celebrant to MC the reception too?

Some celebrants offer an MC option, and at least one team can also DJ, so ask at your first meeting. It saves a separate booking and keeps one familiar voice running the day.
