Choosing a Marriage Celebrant

A celebrant shapes the part of the wedding guests remember most, and down here the setting is often outdoors: a vineyard on the Bellarine, a clifftop near Aireys Inlet or a farm lawn in the Moorabool Valley. The celebrants on this page write personal ceremonies and look after the legal paperwork.

The ceremony formats you can ask for:

  • A full ceremony written around your story, with readings, rituals and a rehearsal beforehand.
  • A micro wedding for a small group, sometimes bundled with photography and a choice of venue.
  • An elopement with just the two of you and witnesses, on a beach or in the hills.
  • A legals-only service: the short legal words and signing, followed by a bigger party later.
  • Vow renewals and commitment ceremonies, which carry no legal paperwork but still need a script.

Most celebrants here cover the city and its suburbs, many travel to the Surf Coast and the Bellarine, and several list the Moorabool Valley. Ask whether travel is in the fee if your ceremony is a long way down the coast.

What celebrants charge

  • Listed fees start from $500 and $550 for simpler services.
  • Other packages start from $650, $900 and $1,000 for a fully written ceremony.
  • A micro wedding package that includes a ceremony and photography starts from $1,800.
  • Check whether the fee covers a rehearsal, a sound system and travel to your venue.

Paperwork and timing

  • The legal notice has to be lodged with your celebrant well ahead of the date, so make contact early and ask what the lead time is.
  • For a destination wedding on the Great Ocean Road, plan how you will meet the celebrant and sign the paperwork if you live away.
  • Bring identity documents to your first meeting so the celebrant can check them.
  • A few celebrants will host the reception as MC or run the day's timings too, which saves hiring a separate person.

Outdoor ceremonies by the water

  • Ask where the celebrant stands if the wind is coming off the water, and whether they bring a microphone.
  • Agree on an indoor or covered wet-weather spot with your venue ahead of time.
  • Think about guests in the sun on a summer afternoon: shade, water and short seating times help.
