FAQs

  • Simple answer - No. You need to have completed, signed and had witnessed a Notice Of Intended Marriage at least one month before you can get married.

  • If you have a passport, you’re sorted. If not, you will need to have a copy of your birth certificate and a drivers licence. Your ID must be seen by the celebrant before they can marry you.

  • Simple answer - Yes - If it’s within Australia. We are a representative of the Australian Government so we are not authorised to marry people in other countries.

    However, if you want to get married in Bali for example, we can marry you here in a very simple signing ceremony with you and two witnesses before you leave and then follow you to Bali for your big celebration.

  • Simple answer - Yes I will. Some celebrants do and some don’t so make sure you check with them if you want to play your music through their speaker on the day. Also check whether they will personally play the music or whether you’ll need to have someone else play it through their speaker. If you choose me, I will play it all.

Best Man Speech

The best man is usually a good friend so the speech should be funny, but be careful not to make it sound as though it’s an extension of the stag night. Think about the audience you’re speaking to before you write it. The best advice is to be yourself and try not to copy someone else’s speech.

His role is to:

Compliment the bride and groom and wish them all the best for their future life together. Thank the groom for asking him to be his best man.

Relate funny stories about the groom without being rude and be sure not to mention any previous relationships he may have had.

Relate what he knows about the bride and compliment her on her appearance.

Thank the hosts on behalf of himself and the guests.

Read out cards or messages from relatives and friends who couldn't be there.
