The Role of a Civil Marriage Celebrant

When you have chosen your wedding date, one of the main decisions you'll need to make is who is going to perform your Brisbane, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast ceremony for you. More than half of marriages today are actually performed by a civil marriage celebrant. They have been trained fully and every year they have to go through more professional development. Perhaps you have been to weddings where they used a Sunshine Coast Celebrant and you have seen how they conduct a ceremony. Maybe you are not looking for a celebrant of your own. Usually it's a good idea to check into several different celebrants to get a good idea of the services that they provide and the fees that they charge. Choose a short list of those you like and take the time to meet them. Then you can make your final decision on the civil marriage celebrant you want to use on the big day.

After you have decided upon a celebrant and you have decided upon the fee that they will be paid, you may wonder what you should get for the money that you are paying. Start out by taking a look at the celebrant's code of practice. More than likely the celebrant you are using will have a copy that you can see. This will help you know what you should be expecting from the celebrant you hire and if you have any complaints or concerns, it will let you know what you should do about them.

The first thing that your celebrant will do is make sure that all the formalities have been taken care of so you will be married legally. This will include taking care of the notice of intended marriage and any other documents that may be included. Your celebrant is also going to make sure that the marriage certificate and declarations certificate has been completed correctly, signed, and then sent on to the BDM. They will also make sure that during your ceremony the required words will be included. This is just a look at the basics that your celebrant should be taking care of for you.

Of course, a quality celebrant will make sure that you have the ceremony that you have always dreamed of. Just remember that each celebrant is a bit different, so check to see what they specifically offer. In most cases, they will want to meet with you a couple times before the ceremony takes place. Even if you are unable to meet, there will be quite a few emails or phone conversations to make sure that the important information is exchanged and that your Celebrant in Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney gets to know you fairly well before the big event.
