"Katherine did a wonderful job being our celebrant for our wedding. We had several catch-ups to discuss our wedding. Katherine made everything so clear and easy to understand.

About
Why I’m a celebrant… To be perfectly honest, it was a ‘lightbulb’ moment for me when I decided to become a celebrant. I was watching a celebrant work and thought what an absolute privilege and honor to be able to work with people at some of the most important moments of their lives. “I could do that” and hence after a lot of study and dedication to learn the skills, here I am. I love to hear the stories of how people met, about their families and what they want to do in their lives.

FAQ
You can marry anywhere in Australia, on any day, at any time. If you’re going for somewhere outdoors like a park or beach, check with the local council as there is often a booking process, permit and fee to pay. And make sure you have a backup plan in case of poor weather.
At least one month before your wedding day and no more than 18 months ahead. Allow enough time to get everything together for your Notice of Intended Marriage – you might need to apply for a copy of your birth certificate or apply for suitable ID, which can take time.
Yes. There is no requirement for you to be a citizen, and there is no minimum residency period.

Hi everyone! My fiance and I are French from birth but are now both recently Australian citizens. In countries like France or the UK you can have up to 6 witnesses (aged over 18 years old obviously) to be witnesses at your wedding. We were wondering if 2 is the max here in Western Australia or if it is the minimum number. If 2 is the minimum for the number of witnesses what would be the maximum number?
Would like a family friend to conduct our ceremony how do we do this?
Adore Celebrancy Services
A family friend can certainly play a large part of your ceremony, however you must also have an authorised celebrant present. The celebrant is registered with the Attorneys Generals office to legally solemise marriages. The celebrant will arrange the legal paperwork and signs with yourselves and two witnessess. The celebrant must also say a few compulsary statements and be able to be close enough to hear you state your vows. Otherwise your friend can conduct the other parts of the ceremony with whatever else you want to combine.
Do we need a marriage celebrant?
Can we exchange vows on our wedding day , and just get registered at the registry office on separate day- and therefore not require a celebrant? And if so- is this more cost effective? Thank you
Adore Celebrancy Services
Hi BessieLoo, if you do not want to be married in a church, then yes, you require a marriage celebant who is registered to legally authorise marriages. To be legally married the celebrant can help you complete & lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage, which must be done at least a month prior to your wedding date. This is usually done when you engage the services of a celebrant and secures your booking. On the day the celebrant ensures all the legal requirements are covered, including signing offical documents then lodging with Births Deaths & Marriages. If you do not have a celebrant on your wedding day then the guests must be advised that they are not witnessing a legal marriage ceremony. Which from a guests perspective, they would wonder why they were there if it was not a real wedding?
Certainly not cost effective to have two services.

In all states of Australia you are legally required to have only two witnessess to sign the marriage certificates. If possible, you should know the witnesses, as their evidence can be used to: establish the identity of the couple who were married and/or testify to the circumstances in which the ceremony was performed. They can be family, friends or one of the wedding party.
