About
I am a part-time HS English teacher and love my job because it is so rewarding to work in a dynamic environment and interact with young people every day. I'm definitely a 'people person' which is why I also love being a celebrant; it gives me the opportunity to meet so many different, wonderful people. And I'm pretty good at putting together the words in a ceremony too. :) I have officiated at more than 250 weddings and loved every, single one of them!

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?
Jennifer Cross Civil Celebrant
In Australia, you must, legally, have 2 witnesses who are aged 18 or over. These witnesses can be anyone other than the celebrant (and the marrying couple of course) . Only 2 people are required to sign the official documents. There is not space for more than 2 people to sign.
However, the other guests at the wedding are also considered to be 'witnessing' the marriage. There is no maximum or minimum number of guests you can invite.
I hope this answers your question satisfactorily.
All the best for your wedding.
Jenny Cross :)
If we're getting married in a garden, do we need a undercover plan B for weather reasons?
Jennifer Cross Civil Celebrant
I always work with my couples to come up with a Plan B if their wedding is scheduled to be in an outside venue, no matter what time of year it is. I just feel that having a Plan B allays some of the stress - it may never be needed but at least it has been considered and everyone can relax, rather than panic at the last moment. Waking up to rain on the Wedding Day, knowing there is a dry, comfortable alternative venue, makes the day a whole lot easier for everyone! Mind you, I have only had to resort to Plan B four times in the last 5 years and approximately 150 weddings!
How does the idea of an unplugged wedding go over with guests?
Do some choose to ignore it?
Jennifer Cross Civil Celebrant
I always ask my couples if they want me to mention this before the wedding begins - surprisingly many couples don't mind but most prefer not to have photos posted on FB before they get a chance to do so themselves. One of my couples asked me to say, "We don't want our photographer to be taking pics of people taking pics..." I thought this was a great way to put it - everyone laughed and understood.
I'm often surprised by the number of guests who need reminding to check their phones are on silent.
