Wedding Celebrants: what do they actually do?!

This week we thought we’d discuss in detail – what wedding celebrants actually do! We address all the questions we commonly hear:   What does a wedding celebrant do in Australia? Is a celebrant legally required to get married in Australia? What legal documents does a celebrant handle? How far in advance do you need to book a celebrant? What is the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM)? Will a celebrant help us write our ceremony? Can we customise our ceremony? How long is a typical wedding ceremony? Do we need a rehearsal? Can a celebrant help with vows? What does the celebrant do on the wedding day? Does the celebrant act as an MC? Who brings the legal paperwork on the day? Who needs to be present for the ceremony? What legal words must be said? What happens to the paperwork after the wedding? Do we receive a marriage certificate on the day? How long does it take to get the official certificate? Does my name change automatically? How do we choose a wedding celebrant? How much does a wedding celebrant cost in Australia? What questions should we ask a celebrant before booking? Do celebrants provide sound equipment? Can a celebrant perform non-legal or commitment ceremonies? Can we have a friend or family member marry us? What happens if we don’t submit the NOIM in time? Do we need ID? What if one of us was previously married? Can we get married anywhere?   If there's something else you'd love answered - get in touch! --- LINKS Visit www.wepronounceyou.com.au [https://www.wepronounceyou.com.au] Email info@wepronounceyou.com.au Follow @wepronounceyouunfiltered on Instagram and TikTok Follow @moyramajor on Instagram Follow @nickiamoscelebrant on Instagram Follow our fantastic sponsors @myjewelleryshop on Instagram Follow @woodworkpodcasts on Instagram and TikTok CREDITS Hosts: Moyra Major and Nicki Amos Audio and Digital Content Production: Ben Wood at Wood Work Digital Studio ben@woodworkdigitalstudio.com.au [ben@woodworkdigitalstudio.com.au] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

"Someone wore a white dress to my wedding - and got up during the first dance..!"

This week we chat with Leanne, who has some fascinating stories to share! She explains why what happened at her own wedding, when a guest wore a white dress and actually got up and danced during the FIRST DANCE. Leanne then became a Celebrant herself; she has worked in the local courthouse certifying marriages, regularly acts as a Funeral Celebrant as well as at Weddings, and incredibly we find out she holds the record as the first person to marry under newly changed laws that permitted her to do it at 17 years old! This conversation has some real twists and turns - we hope you enjoy! --- LINKS Visit www.wepronounceyou.com.au [https://www.wepronounceyou.com.au] Email info@wepronounceyou.com.au Follow @wepronounceyouunfiltered on Instagram and TikTok Follow @moyramajor on Instagram Follow @nickiamoscelebrant on Instagram Follow @leannemarkertmarriagecelebrant on Instagram Follow our fantastic sponsors @myjewelleryshop on Instagram Follow @woodworkpodcasts on Instagram and TikTok CREDITS Hosts: Moyra Major and Nicki Amos Guest: Leanne Markert Audio and Digital Content Production: Ben Wood at Wood Work Digital Studio ben@woodworkdigitalstudio.com.au [ben@woodworkdigitalstudio.com.au] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
