FAQs

Wedding celebrants: common questions

How far in advance do we need to lodge paperwork?

In Australia the Notice of Intended Marriage must be lodged with your celebrant at least one month and no more than 18 months before the wedding. Your celebrant walks you through it.

How much does a celebrant cost?

Typically $600 to $1,500 depending on experience, travel and how much ceremony writing is involved. Registry-style short ceremonies cost less.

Can we write our own vows?

Yes — beyond the legally required words, the ceremony is yours. Good celebrants help you draft and time them.
