OVERVIEW

My name is Nick and I am one of the youngest Civil Marriage Celebrants in Canberra and Australia. I am approaching your wedding ideas with fresh new perspectives for a tradition that has been practiced in nearly every culture for all time. 

I believe that your wedding should be YOUR way! I will listen to your ideas and create a personally designed ceremony around them. I am able to assist you if you are having trouble coming up with the words to say about the one you love the most. 

A wedding is the most important time in the lives of a couple and I will be honoured to be able to assist you, from engagement to happily married. If you are wanting a wedding to embrace the classic traditions or to be unique to you and your partner, I am the Celebrant for you.

I am based in Canberra but can travel to any part of Australia (includes travel costs outside ACT.)

About

Many people ask me "Why did you become a Civil Marriage Celebrant?" My answer is always simple! I get joy from helping people! I have a "day" job so I am a Civil Marriage Celebrant because I want to be. Becoming a marriage celebrant was almost an instinctive choice. I get to help people at a significantly important time in their lives!

FAQ

You and your partner can contact me via email, phone, Skype, face-to-face or carrier pigeon at any stage of your plans to marry, even before you have decided on me as your Celebrant.

The minimum time by law is 1 month from me receiving your Notice of Intended Marriage, but we can begin planning as soon as you're ready.

My service fee is $650. That is inclusive of a personally designed ceremony based on your wants, all the official paperwork and lodgement with BDM, a ceremonial marriage certificate, unlimited contact with me, PA system and a rehearsal.

Travel outside the ACT will incur a travel fee, solely to cover costs.

We could not have been happier with our choice to have Nick as our celebrant on our special day. Nick was warm and friendly whenever we spoke to him and always willing to assist where required. On the day, he was presented immaculately and conducted our ceremony smoothly and ensured it was full of love. We cannot recommend him highly enough - thanks for making our special day so perfect! x

Abbey, It was awesome performing your ceremony!! A really fun afternoon/night :). Thank you for having me as your Celebrant. I wish you and Jordan all the best as husband and wife.

Nick was an absolutely sensational celebrant. He tailored the wedding to how we wanted it, making great suggestions along the way. He was very flexible, adding last minute requests, while personalising the whole thing to ensure it felt genuine and like "our day", not a stock standard off the shelf product. I recommend Nick very highly!

Nicholas Forbes did an amazing job for us, it was just as casual and relaxing as we wanted it to be, and he followed everything we wanted! If you don't want one of those old boring ceremonys, Nick is the one to go with!
