Marriages are one of the most celebrated moments in your life. Choosing a marriage celebrant is an important decision that you need to make. This is because your choice will impact how your wedding day goes. It can also influence how you feel about the whole process and whether or not you enjoy it. Here are some things to think about when choosing your marriage celebrant
Style
Do they have experience performing weddings in different styles (e.g., traditional vs non-traditional)? If not, this could pose problems if you want something unique and aren’t sure how it might go over with your guests.
Personality
This is important if you’re looking for a celebrant who can guide the ceremony. You want someone who’s going to make everyone feel relaxed and warm and build their rapport with your guests as the ceremony goes on.
Confident and organised
This is especially important as you want to ensure that your day goes without a hitch. Ensuring that you choose someone who has done this before will ensure that all of the paperwork is sorted, the vows have been written and practised, and any family members have had a copy of their input so they can practise too.
Registered
Are they licensed to perform weddings and civil unions? If not, then it’s probably best to find someone else who is authorised before making any final decisions.
Are they available?
Many celebrants are regularly booked well in advance for weddings. When you find someone you like, make time to get the process happening and book your day with them. This ensures you get the person who will make your wedding special.
Remember, choosing a celebrant is not just about the ceremony, it is about you as a couple and finding someone who reflects your values and personality and will make the ceremony.
