About Chris White Celebrant
Chris White is a civil marriage celebrant based in Weston who also works as a master of ceremonies. He brings a background in public speaking and diplomacy – from the public service and embassy postings to running ANZAC memorial events and facilitating executive programs at the ANU – to modern, personal ceremonies built around each couple. The Full Monty is his full ceremony of about 25 to 35 minutes, with an introduction, your story, the legal monitum, legal and personal vows, readings, rings and any rituals you choose. Legal Only is a 10-minute ceremony with just the essential words and signing, suited to couples who want no fanfare and only two witnesses, held at his place, a cafe or a park. The Whole Box and Dice adds MC duties for the reception, linking the ceremony to the celebrations. He coordinates the program and vendors, prepares speakers, runs inclusive games and keeps the night moving. Fees include an initial meeting to discuss your plans and complete the legal documents, including the Notice of Intended Marriage, plus calls, emails and meetings to settle the details. Couples also receive his ceremony reference guide, packed with readings, vow examples, rituals, music ideas and ways to involve family and friends. On the day he brings a PA system, which can also play your ceremony music. Travel to venues within 30 km of Weston is included, a rehearsal is optional, and he lodges the paperwork so the marriage is registered.

A full ceremony with stories, readings, vows, rings and rituals runs about 25 to 35 minutes. The Legal Only option takes around 10 minutes, covering just the required words and the signing.

A rehearsal is optional and costs an extra $100. Most couples find they are well prepared through the planning sessions held in the lead-up to the wedding.

At least a month, so the initial paperwork can be completed. Chris lodges all of the legal documents so your marriage is registered, and asks for some flexibility on date and time.
