Can a Friend Marry Us in Australia?
Can a Family Member or friend marry us in Australia?
From $450
Can a family member or friend marry you in Australia? Absolutely!
While you need an authorized marriage celebrant for the legal aspects, you can have a special person—whether a friend or family member—perform your ceremony. I’ve helped many couples achieve this personal touch in their weddings.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
- Simple Process: After booking and completing the legal paperwork, your chosen person can craft and deliver the ceremony as you wish.
- My Role: I’ll handle the official parts—administering the Monitum, hearing your legal vows, and facilitating the signing of marriage certificates. I’ll also provide wireless sound equipment if needed, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
- Fees:
- Ceremony with me attending your ceremony: $595. This covers my presence at your nominated Moreton Bay venue to handle the legalities while your chosen person leads the ceremony.
- Legal Marriage at My Home: $450. Get legally married in a private setting with two witnesses before having your “Celebration of Love” ceremony designed by you and your special person.
STEPS TO HAVE YOUR FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER MARRY YOU:
- Enquire: Reach out to discuss your plans.
- Complete your Notice of Intended Marriage: This must be filled out and witnessed at least one calendar month before the ceremony.
- Provide ID: Original documents in English or translated by a NAATI accredited translator, including your Birth Certificate and Driver’s License or Passport, and any documents related to previous marriages.
- Ceremony: I’ll work with your chosen person to ensure a seamless experience and complete the legal paperwork and will assist with downloading music, acting as your DJ and providing wireless sound equipment for your ceremony (if necessary).
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
- One Calendar month’s notice is required.
- A $200 non-refundable booking fee is required with your confirmation. The balance is due two weeks before your ceremony.
- Fees quoted exclude Public Holidays, Easter Break, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve & New Years Day
- Please note, fees quoted DO NOT include travel to and from Moreton Bay Island/Tangalooma Resort
Let’s make your special day unforgettable with the perfect blend of personal touch and legal expertise!
