Have a Friend Lead Your Celebration
If you want a friend or family member to lead the personal part, the simplest option is usually this:
Do the legal marriage with us first, then let your friend lead a separate celebration later.
Why couples do it this way
It means:
- the legal side is done properly
- your friend does not need to become a celebrant
- the celebration can be as personal as you want
What we do
We handle:
- the NOIM and legal paperwork
- the legal marriage itself
- the registration afterwards
What your friend can do
Your friend can then lead:
- vows
- readings
- stories
- ring exchange
- a celebration on another date
If you want the legal marriage and a full ceremony together
That is a different service.
For a full wedding celebrant, use Melbourne celebrant Josh Withers.
