About
Hey, I'm Samuel! I have worked in the industry for over 10 years, so it was only a natural progression for me to move into Celebrancy, and I'm so grateful to have such a rewarding career. I have dabbled in acting in the past and if you look closely you'll spot me in 'Anzac Girls', 'Gallipoli', the Chinese TV drama 'Speed' and a couple of Toyota ads! It's this unique experience, teamed with my marketing and communications skills that help me produce and deliver such memorable ceremonies!

Hey there! Samuel here from www.mrsamueljames.com. Great question - and it really varies depending on which state you're in. I'm a South Australian based Celebrant and unfortunately we don't have an online portal to lodge our paperwork, we have to do it by snail mail! With Australia Post the way it is at the moment it can take a little while. The cool thing though is that the Births Deaths and Marriages office offers estimated processing times at this link - https://www.cbs.sa.gov.au/estimated-processing-times - not sure if other BDMs do that too? Would be worth checking it out!
