About Genine Houston Marriage Celebrant
Genine Houston is a civil marriage celebrant based in Fremantle who conducts weddings throughout the Perth metropolitan area. Before taking up celebrancy she worked as a journalist and broadcaster with the ABC, and she teaches English alongside her ceremony work – a background that shows in how she builds each script around the couple's own story. The process starts with getting to know you. Genine asks how you met, the moment things changed, how the proposal happened and what you picture for the day, then turns those details into a ceremony that sounds like the two of you. She aims for a mix of romance and humour, and she is happy to work in personal vows, readings, symbolic rituals and music that suits your taste. No two of her ceremonies follow the same template. Couples can choose a full personalised ceremony with all the trimmings, an intimate elopement, or a simple legals-only wedding where the required words are said properly and the paperwork is signed. A typical ceremony with Genine runs for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how many readings and rituals you include. She also guides couples through the legal side, including the Notice of Intended Marriage, which must be lodged with her between one and 18 months ahead of the wedding. Away from weddings, Genine writes vow renewals and commitment ceremonies too. Fees are quoted to suit the size and location of each wedding.
