Marriage Celebrants are required by law to ensure several tasks are completed and that the marriage is registered appropriately according to the Marriage Act 1961.

To meet those requirements also means you, the marrying couple, are required to meet certain obligations too. The most obvious ones are to give Notice of Intended Marriage with a minimum one months’ notice, meet the legal requirement to marry, supply identification, birth certificates and/ or other legal paperwork for viewing by the celebrant as and when requested.

Once is booking is made you have secured me as you Celebrant.  I wouldn't be able to accept other bookings for your booked date and time, this fee is non-refundable or transferable. Only in extenuating circumstances I may consider your refund requests. Examples would be a government ban on weddings. All requests must be made in writing. 

 

Ceremony Starting Time
in the event of your ceremony being delayed beyond 15 minutes, I will be entitled to proceed to my next commitment (if any) and cut your ceremony short. An Extra charge of $100 per 30 minutes, will apply once the ceremony is late beyond 30 minutes of the scheduled time. 

Should you need me to return to complete the marriage. you will need to book in on later date and place to solemnise the marriage.   I will not agree to a transfer of NOIM at the late stage. Please plan your day leaving plenty of time for things to go wrong or take longer than expected. Better to be safe than sorry.
