Choosing a Marriage Celebrant is not an easy task. The choice and supply of celebrants may very well be overwhelming to some couples. How do you know if you are choosing a quality celebrant, someone who is completely selfless, and who never performs two ceremonies the same way? It is becoming more popular for couples to exchange their own vows, involve family members or special rituals, get married at home or simply say 'I do' in their own special way. A Marriage Celebrant enables you to customise your ceremony.  A Marriage Celebrant will present you with a folder of ceremony, perform necessary rehearsals and provide information on family relationship services and pre-marriage education.

Here are some things you may wish to consider:

• The Marriage Celebrant fee is usually important, as it has to be affordable and competitive with other celebrants in the area.

• The Marriage Celebrant should be able and willing to work in any religious environment if desired, as a Marriage Celebrant needs to provide an indiscriminate approach to performing marriages.

• The Marriage Celebrant should be able and willing to assist in the writing of vows, and coordinate all aspects of the ceremony, including before, during and after.

• The Marriage Celebrant should be able and willing to perform marriage ceremonies in any location (obviously within a reasonable distance from home). This may include parks, gardens, churches, halls, homes; or anywhere else the couple wants to marry.
