Choosing a Marriage Celebrant

A celebrant shapes the part of the day everyone remembers word for word. They meet you beforehand, help you write a ceremony that sounds like the two of you, handle the legal paperwork for a marriage, and run the ceremony itself so you can simply turn up and say yes.

  • Marriage celebrants are authorised to solemnise marriages in Australia and lodge the paperwork afterwards
  • Most will help you write your story, choose readings and plan rituals such as a ring warming or a sand ceremony
  • Many also do vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and naming days
  • Some celebrants also MC the reception, which keeps the day in one set of hands
  • Ask how many meetings and how much rehearsal time the fee includes

Send your date, venue and guest numbers to celebrants through Party Hero and compare what each one includes.

Choosing a Celebrant

  • Meet or call a few celebrants to see whose style suits you: formal, relaxed, funny or heartfelt
  • Ask how much they help with writing the ceremony, and how many meetings are included
  • Check they're authorised to solemnise marriages if it's a legal wedding
  • Confirm whether a rehearsal and a sound system are part of the fee

Before the Day

  • Lodge the Notice of Intended Marriage at least a month ahead
  • Share the names and pronunciations of everyone being acknowledged
  • Agree the running order, readings and any rituals
  • Confirm arrival time and who will sign as witnesses

Common Questions About Celebrants

What does a marriage celebrant do?

They help you plan and write the ceremony, prepare and lodge the legal paperwork for the marriage, and conduct the ceremony on the day. Many also run a rehearsal beforehand.

How far ahead do we need to lodge paperwork?

In Australia the Notice of Intended Marriage must be lodged with your celebrant at least one month before the wedding. Talk to your celebrant early so there's no rush.

Can a celebrant do a vow renewal or commitment ceremony?

Yes. Many celebrants run vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and naming days as well as weddings. Check when you enquire.

Can our celebrant also MC the reception?

Some can, and booking both together can keep the day simpler. Ask whether they offer MC services and how that changes the fee.

Does the celebrant travel to our venue?

Most travel to your venue, whether it's a garden, beach, winery or hall. Travel outside their usual area may add a fee, so ask when you enquire.
