Ian Blyth - Celebration Arts

On the day, I will help set up and provide everything necessary for your ceremony to run beautifully. I also take care of all the legal requirements so you don’t need to worry about a thing.

1 - The original copy of both you and your partner's birth certificate. If you do not have this paperwork, these can be obtained through the Births, Deaths and Marriages Register, and can be done on line. (It may take 1 to 2 weeks).

2 - If either of you have been married before- either a divorce or death certificate, as proof that you are free to marry again. Again, copies can be obtained through the Births, Deaths and Marriages Register. (If these documents are in a language other than English, it may be necessary to have them looked at by a translator.)

3 - And lastly, a photo ID for each of you. This can be one of the following.... a Passport, (does not need to be current, but cannot be a Cancelled Passport) a Drivers Licence, Learners Permit, or a photo work ID. If you do not already have a photo ID, you can apply for a Key Pass identity card at the post office.

I offer as many meetings as you wish prior to the ceremony ot talk about any details and ensure your day runs smoothly

You should find someone that you are completely comfortable with, a celebrant who will tell your story in a loving and caring way and will work with you to make your day everything you wish for.  The right celebrant will provide you with a ceremony that is full of substance and meaning.

You can book your celebrant as far in advance as you like, however you won’t  be able to fill in the required paperwork until it is within 18 months of the wedding, and must be completed at least 1 month prior to the wedding
