Is it OK to ask a celebrant to wear a costume at our wedding?

Of course, the wedding can be themed and wearing costumes can be a lot of fun and add to the atmoshere of the wedding. During last  years  Halloween I officiated at a wedding on the 31st October and the bridal couple and their guests dressed up as ghosts, ghouls and goblins and yours truley as a wizard with a pionty hat. 

Yes, but be aware the celebrant may feel it is not appropriate depending on the costume

Of course, it is allowed, and no it is not rude to ask, in fact, most celebrants will welcome it, Most of us love the quirky.

I try to ensure my couples have more fun than I do and I love weddings.

Any costume is a welcome and fun addition. I've worn a few fun things from golden glittery hats to huge bow ties, and have even entered a ceremony in disguise.

It is your wedding and making it FUN is a bonus

Of course it is fine to ask, and they will give you an honest answer.  To be honest it is better to ask before you start to sign and move forward, so that the celebrant can be honest too and say yes or no in advance of any agreement signing.  Ive seen costumes work and fail.  Worked when the guests got into it too, failed when the guests did not.  I would be asking the couple to provide/hire the costume so that at least it is consistent with the theme and quality of what it is the couple is looking for. 

It is not rude, after all it is your day, but not all celebrants might be open to dress ups so ask before you booked a celebrant. Also be prepared to cover the cost of the hire of the costume for the celebrant as they would be using it for your day. Adam, Gippsland Celebrant Services. 

This is what I would call a 'themed wedding' and I'm sure they're lots of fun...but I haven't been asked to do one yet. I'm really looking forward to someone asking me to dress up in a steampunk or goth costume. Most Celebrants would be game enough to go along with a themed wedding but that all depends on whether you're talking about kilts and sporrans, Hawaiian shirts with leis or something else. If the costume is not something that can be put together from items in the closet, then I'm fairly certain the couple will incur the cost of hiring the outfit for their Celebrant.

Ahhhhhhhh!!! So much YESSSSSS!!!!

Of course, you can request for your celebrant to wear a costume! The vast majority of celebrants I come across are SUPER open-minded and are born performers and love the excuse of having a bit of fun and this sounds AMAZING! 

It would be best to enquire about their feelings on the matter when requesting information on their services and also expect that the costs involved in buying, hiring or maintaining the costume would be also added as an additional fee. 

Sounds like a Hoot! I'd don an Elvis suit in a second! 

Occluded, I would be happy o wear a costume to blend in with the bridal party.

My pleasure.

Goodness YES!!!
I love my couples to really get into the ceremony. So If dress-up, cosplay, theme parties are your thing, then go for it!!!

Awesome idea that would be so much fun depending on your theme. 

I've known a celebrant to wear an Elvis costume...
