Planning your ceremony
We need to chat about your plans at least 1 month (or up to 18 months) before your wedding day. These popular dates book out fast, so make sure you get in soon.
At your interview, an experienced celebrant will ask you to:
- lodge your completed notice of intended marriage application form
- book a time for your wedding
- show your original proof of ID and eligibility documents
- apply for a marriage certificate
- pay the fee.
You should also tell us if you have any special requirements, such as how we can personalise your ceremony or if you need wheelchair access for a guest.
