A Simple Celebration - Kathryn Drew
The NOIM is a document containing private details so it is of the utmost importance to keep it safe. Mine are kept for each couple in a personal document folder with all other documentation and info for that wedding. After the ceremony it is forwarded immediately to the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages.
When should we be booking a celebrant?
How much time is needed before the wedding to get everything done?

Congratulations on your engagement!
Only your celebrant makes it legal, so you need to book as soon as possible. Choose your date and venue then get in touch with your Celebrant to lock it in, as dates fill very quickly. You can then meet up and complete legal paperwork and discuss ceremony services after that. It's also important to book a photographer and other key suppliers - get in early. How organised a person are you..this will determine how much time you need to get everything done. If you have a year, that's about average. You can always use more time, but you can do it in less if that's all the time you have.
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
A Simple Celebration - Kathryn Drew
You can exchange vows on your wedding day, however you need to have a registered celebrant to make it a legal marriage. You could get married at a registry office first, then have a commitment ceremony in front of guests, who would not necessarily know you were already married. You could also have a "legals only" wedding with just yourselves, a celebrant and two witnesses, in your home, garden, beach, my home etc rather than the impersonal registry office and for less cost. But if you're going to have a simple celebration wedding day with guests, it's likely more cost effective to just do it once, with the celebrant there.
