Civil Celebrants are members of the community who perform celebration ceremonies according to tradition, ritual or individual preference. Ceremonies may have either a Secular or non-religious format, or a semi-religious service, or a mixture of both. The choice is yours.

A Marriage Celebrant is responsible for:
Recognising the importance of the institution of marriage and significance of the binding nature of the union between a man and woman.
Solemnising marriage according to law (currently the Marriage Act, 1961).
Assisting couples in designing a unique ceremony and format that closely meet their needs.
Designing a ceremony that allows family, friends and guests to witness a couple's commitment to each other; and wish them well and happiness in their future married life together.
The Celebrant also believes marriage is founded on sincerity and understanding which leads to tolerance, confidence and acceptance of each other's weaknesses and faults.
Knowing that a happy marriage will enable the couple to keep a home where there will be love and stability, where family and friends will always be welcome.
Believes that love in marriage is to commit yourself freely and without reservation, to be sincerely interested in the happiness and wellbeing of your partner, fulfil the needs of your partner and bend your values based on your partners needs.

A Marriage Celebrant believes if one is lonely and needs solace the partner will be there. If one needs the strength of human touch, the other will touch you. If one needs to be held the other will hold you.

Celebrants assist people to claim precious moments in life's journey by performing a range of ceremonies which include;  Weddings, Naming’s – all ages, Vow renewal/recommitment services, Commitment ceremonies, House blessings, Graduations, Successes, Forgiveness, Divorce and partings, Retirements, Gay Relationships and Commitments **, Funerals & Death of a pet.

** Sorry, under the Marriage Act 1961, Gay marriages are not permitted in Australia. We will design a meaningful and loving Gay commitment service for you according to your preferences.
