Choosing the right celebrant is about finding someone who "gets" you as a couple. Look for someone whose style matches your vision — whether that’s romantic, humorous, traditional, or modern. It's also important to meet with a few celebrants to see who you click with best. The right celebrant will listen to your story and help you feel at ease, making the whole process enjoyable and memorable.

A celebrant is there to bring your love story to life! They’ll craft a personalised ceremony, guide you through the vows, handle any legal bits, and manage the flow of the ceremony. They’re your storyteller, guide, and calm in the excitement of the day.

Celebrant fees vary depending on location, experience, and what’s included. Costs can range from a few hundred dollars to more than a thousand. Remember, your celebrant is responsible for creating a meaningful experience, so it’s an investment in the heart of your wedding day.

An officiant is often someone authorised to perform legally binding ceremonies — this might be a religious leader or someone legally certified. A celebrant, however, focuses on creating a unique, personalised ceremony. Many couples choose a celebrant when they want something more tailored than a traditional ceremony.

Here are a few: What’s your ceremony style? How do you personalise each ceremony? What’s included in your fee? How do you handle unforeseen issues on the day? Can you help with vow writing? And, of course, ask if they’re available on your wedding date!
