There are a number of elements that MUST be included within your marriage ceremony to ensure it is legally binding.  I will work closely with you to ensure your personalised ceremony meets these legal requirements while still remains a true reflection of who you are as individuals and as a couple.

Prior to your marriage you will need to lodge a "Notice of Intended Marriage" with your chosen celebrant.  This document must be completed, signed, witnessed and received by your celebrant a minimum of 1 calendar month before your marriage can be solemnised.  I can provide you with a copy of this Notice for completion or alternatively it can be downloaded from www.ag.gov.au or printed from the file below.

To meet legal requirements you must provide suitable identification to your celebrant to enable official records to be maintained accurately.

The following is a list of suitable identification that can be accepted:
     * Original Birth Certificate
     * Original Extract of Birth
                    (and a photo identification document   eg: Drivers Licence)
     * Australian or International Passport (stating full name and date and place of birth)

Please note that original documents are required for sighting - photocopies are not acceptable.

If either party is under the age of 18 or has previously been married, documentation will also be required to state that both parties are free to marry.  Please discuss this with me in further detail.
