How to Choose a Marriage Celebrant

Selecting a Celebrant to Suit You

To understand celebrants, what they're like and what to expect, you need to know something about them. Firstly, they're not all the same (there's the good the bland and the dreadful!), and secondly, the price they quote doesn't tell what you really need to know! You want a celebrant to suit you. Not just any old celebrant, but one who understands what you want. One who can create and deliver your personal, special wedding ceremony.

So, how do you find the celebrant you want? To achieve the wedding you want - be very careful with your celebrant selection. If you want a great ceremony, you and your guests will really enjoy, then, be prepared to invest in the services of  professional celebrant.

If you want wonderful memories to last a lifetime - be sure to ask a prospective celebrant:

• - What do clients say about you? ('Genuine' testimonials)
• - How long have you been a celebrant?
  
• - What celebrant qualifications do you have?
  
• - How many weddings have you conducted?
  

And most importantly of all, make a time to meet with your prospective celebrant and see how you get on. Is she or he your type of person? Do you "click"? You may need to meet with a couple or so before you feel happy. When you do meet check to see what sort of help they provide in ceremony resources, help and information. Do they have comprehensive information to offer on your wishes, beliefs and traditions? Very importantly do they provide an on-site rehearsal? When you’re completely satisfied make your booking quickly. Good celebrants are booked well ahead and you don’t want to miss out on your preferred marriage celebrant.
