Why do I need one?
You’ll need a Civil Marriage Celebrant present when you recite your marriage vows for the simple reason that he or she will legalize your marriage.
When should I begin searching for one?
You need to have found your celebrant to complete the first of the Legal documents which have to be completed at least one full month and one day before your wedding date.
Who is the best for my ceremony?
You should feel comfortable with who you've chosen and have a great rapport with him/her. They should be articulate, eloquent, confident yet gentle and sensitive enough to calm any pre-wedding jitters.
