OVERVIEW
OMG! We're ENGAGED! What's next? (Hint: call me!)
Let’s meet, and we’ll get down to the first order of business: what you want for your day, and how I can make that happen for you.

I reckon that's an event worth celebrating, and doing it right. And I'd love to help you do that: I'll work with you to put together a ceremony that acknowledges your relationship, honours the significance of the day, but most importantly is memorable and fun.
We’ll start planning your ceremony. Things you’ll need to consider:
Together we’ll collaborate to make yours a ceremony to remember.
About
Hi, thanks for taking the time to look me up. I live in the Essendon area, work in the city. Growing up in central Victoria, I've lived in Melbourne for most of my adult life, apart from some spells overseas. Seeing happy people is always a joy in life, but having the ability to help people be happy is easily one of the most fulfilling things you can do. I look forward to helping people celebrate happiness in their lives in the moment, and committing to a bright future together.

Can anyone be a marriage celebrant?
Dwayne Nichols - Celebrant
Hi - I think we need to clarify your question to give you the best answer. When you ask, "can anyone be a marriage celebrant?", do you mean:
If your question is 1), then yes - anyone can study for the Certificate IV qualification, and pass all of the assessments, but they still have to complete a legal test, have three character references, and be deemed a person of good character in the community. As long as those requirements are satisfied, then anyone can be a marriage Celebrant.
If your question is 2), then no - only someone who has satisfied the requirements set out above is allowed to act as a (civil) Celebrant. There is a legal responsibility to make sure your documentation is completed correctly and your Celebrant performs in accordance with the Guidelines set out in the Marriage Regulations.
There are many Authorised Celebrants ready and willing to help you put together a ceremony for your needs.
Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further help.
Kind regards

can a marriage celebrant marry a family member?
I went to a wedding and the celebrant was the grooms father. Is this legal?
Dwayne Nichols - Celebrant
Absolutely - as long as the family member is an authorised celebrant, and is freely chosen by the couple, it's totally legal. It can be a lovley to have a family member involved in the ceremony.
