Many couples dream of having a close friend or family member lead their wedding ceremony.

It’s heartfelt, personal, and adds an extra layer of meaning.

 

But here’s the catch: unless your friend is an authorised celebrant, they can’t legally marry you in Australia.

That’s where I come in. 

I’ll guide your chosen friend (or loved one) in creating a beautiful, personalised ceremony.

They’ll stand up with you on the day, speak the words you’ve written, and be the face of your celebration.

Meanwhile, I’ll take care of all the legal requirements — ensuring your marriage is recognised under Australian law.

​

How It Works

You’ll get the best of both worlds:

• A ceremony that feels truly yours, written and delivered by someone close to you.

• Peace of mind knowing the paperwork is done correctly.

• A legal marriage, without the stress of learning the rules or the forms.

 

And the truth is, most guests won’t even notice whether the legal words are spoken during the ceremony or done quietly beforehand — they’ll simply see you standing together, saying “I do.”
