FAQ

Under the Marriage Act 1961 there are certain legal obligations that you, as a couple must meet prior to a marriage ceremony being solemnised.

Your celebrant will ask for:

  • Original Birth Certificate from country of Birth.
  • Overseas or Australian Passport if Birth Certificate is unavailable.
  • Photos ID e.g. Drivers Licence.
  • Divorce Certificate if previously married.
  • Death Certificate if previous spouse passed away.

No, you will need to seek approval from your local court. It is called ‘Shortening of Time.’ The reason must fall within one of these categories for it to be granted.

  • Employment related or other travel commitments.
  • Wedding or celebration arrangements, or religious considerations.
  • Medical reasons
  • Legal proceedings.
  • Error in giving notice.

Other than the above circumstances, you will need to wait 1 month before you can get married.

The NOIM Form stays with the celebrant and is sent within 14 days after the wedding to the Registrar of Births Deaths and Marriages in the State where the wedding took place along with the Marriage Certificate which has the declaration, on the back.

Yes, some couples like to do this while others prefer to choose theirs from either their celebrant’s resource selection or they can go online and choose from literally hundreds of great websites.

Legally you will both need to say this “I call upon the people here present to witness that I (bride’s name/groom’s name), take you, (groom’s name/bride’s name) to be my wedded (husband/wife)” before you commence your own vows.

You can contact the Family Law Court in the state your marriage was dissolved and they will issue you with a new Divorce Certificate for a small fee.

Sema Keles, to only call you a wedding celebrant would be unjust. You have been a counsellor, mother figure, friend and role model of what a genuine great human should be. We feel honoured that someone with your integrity was not only apart of our journey but also the one who announced us as husband and wife. Thank you for understanding and accomodating our our cultural and personal requests. The ceremony was everything we could have ever dreamt of. Despite the rain and the frantic that comes with it, you managed all our guests so seamlessly. The weather was the least of everyones concerns given how beautiful the ceremony was, if anything it added character. This is how you tell a good wedding celebrant from a great one, it is how you managed everything when it wasn’t sunshine and rainbows. Beyond the ceremony you also helped us organise amazing entertainment. Thank you Thank you Thank you. We can’t wait to catch up when we are back.

Sema did such an amazing job being our celebrant and wedding coordinator on our special day! Prior to the wedding, she contacted us to touch base and made sure everything was on track. She was there for us if we needed any help with our vows etc. Sema made the ceremony run smoothly on the day and even dressed to match our theme! She was extremely well presented and professional. I highly recommend her if you are looking for the perfect wedding celebrant!

Our ceremony ran so smoothly thanks to Sema! I can’t think of a better marriage celebrant! She conducted our ceremony in both English and turkish, making it exactly what we imagined. She also made the paper work and legal process so simple and easy to understand. I recommend her to every engaged couple I meet!

December 2021

Due to changes in our wedding plan, we had to find a marriage celebrant two weeks before our wedding. We were so lucky that we found Sema, I was attracted by her bright elegant simile the moment I saw her photos online. She was very approachable and super professional, she helped all the paperwork transfer and arranged all the ceremony process for us. She was extremely caring and organised, she helped me got rid of wedding anxiety and I knew I can fully rely on her. The ceremony went very well on that day, she set a heart-warming tune with a great opening speech at the beginning of the ceremony and through to the end.
