Lois Janik - Sydney Wedding Celebrant

Your Wedding Ceremony

This is your special day and so it is paramount that the final wedding ceremony is one that you are happy with. With this in mind, it is important that your wedding celebrant works closely with you to put together a ceremony that will always be remembered. You can involve friends or family in your wedding ceremony and it can be formal or in a more relaxed manner.

Your Sydney civil celebrant has obligations under the Marriage Act of 1961 and will explain these to you at your first meeting. Apart from the required wording to comply with the Act, the remainder of the ceremony is totally your choice.

Samples of ceremonies and verses will be supplied to you to use by your marriage celebrant, however, some couples often wish to word their own ceremony, some use a combination of their own wording and popular verses. Any of these combinations are acceptable provided they comply with the obligations of your Sydney wedding celebrant under the Marriage Act.

Many couples wish to have music played at the wedding ceremony and this is often a way to involve a family member to coordinate the musical selections with the ceremony.

You will be required to sign the Marriage Register and Marriage Certificates at the conclusion of the ceremony along with the signatures of your Sydney wedding celebrant and two witnesses over the age of eighteen. Your marriage celebrant will then present with your Marriage Certificate and a bound copy of your marriage ceremony.
