a Member of a Celebrant Association

a celebrant who offers all these services is absolutely committed to creating and conducting high quality, personal and meaningful marriage ceremonies to ensure that the most important part of your wedding day is perfect for you

questions to ask yourself:

is the ceremony itself important to us?

how much control do we need over the content of the ceremony?

can we incorporate traditions from other cultures which are meaningful to us?

will this celebrant be able to incorporate different/alternative belief systems?

how much do we want to be involved in the creation of our ceremony?

do we feel comfortable with this celebrant?

is this the person we would like to have conducting our marriage ceremony?

does the celebrant's fee reflect their commitment to deliver a top quality, highly personal ceremony?

should we see other celebrants before we pay a deposit?
