Choosing a Marriage Celebrant

A Brisbane celebrant runs the ceremony itself: the legal paperwork, the words, the rehearsal and the moment you sign. Fees start at $375 for a simple ceremony, with plenty of choice between $450 and $650, and up to $1,200 for more involved packages.

Meet two or three before choosing, because the celebrant sets the tone of the whole ceremony.

Things to compare:

  • Whether the fee covers lodging the paperwork, a rehearsal and registering the marriage
  • How many meetings you get to shape the ceremony and write vows
  • Their sound system and microphone, especially for outdoor ceremonies by the river or in a park
  • Travel to outer areas such as Logan, Redlands, Moreton Bay or Ipswich & Springfield
  • Their manner, from formal and traditional to relaxed and funny
  • Whether they will weave in readings, family rituals or a second language

Elopements and small ceremonies with two witnesses are common and usually cost less. Once the ceremony is sorted, find a photographer and look through wedding reception venues.

Legal steps for marrying in Queensland

  • A Notice of Intended Marriage has to reach your celebrant at least one month before the wedding
  • Bring identity documents and any divorce or death certificates to the first meeting
  • Two adult witnesses sign on the day
  • Your celebrant registers the marriage afterwards, so ask how and when the certificate arrives

Planning an outdoor ceremony in Brisbane

  • Summer afternoons are hot and stormy, so morning or late-afternoon ceremonies are easier on guests
  • Parks and riverside spots may need a council booking
  • Have a covered backup and agree with the celebrant when the call will be made
  • Set out water and shade for older guests
