Vintage Love Ceremonies

Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime moment - you want it to be perfect, and finding the right celebrant that fits your vision for the ceremony is absolutely critical.  The only way to find the perfect celebrant is to contact them and meet with them in person, starting with celebrants that have websites and recommendations that resonate with you.

I recommend booking your celebrant as early as 18 months before your intended wedding date.   Two months prior to your wedding date is the recommended minimum time to book your celebrant.  By law, the latest you lodge your intention to marry is one calendar month before your wedding.

In terms of legal documentation for your marriage, you will need to fill out a Notice of Intended Marriage Form. This can only be officially lodged with me no earlier than 18 months and no later than one month before the date of the marriage.  You also need to provide proof of identification, address and eligibility to marry during this time.  

Yes, if your ceremony is going to be outdoors.  I highly recommend a Plan B option in the event of poor weather to take away the stress and last minute panic.  Ensure that your alternative venue is indoors.

There are no mandatory documents that need to be handled after the ceremony, however you may wish to apply for a SA Official Marriage Certificate.  This gives you the option to change your legal name.  I can apply for this on your behalf for an additional fee, or you can complete the application yourself directly.  

Please note that on your wedding day, I will supply you with an official Certificate of Marriage from the Australian Commonwealth, This certificate confirms that you legal status has changed, and that you are now married.
