I love collaborating with couples to help them plan their wedding ceremony. Since 2010, I’ve been marrying couples all over New South Wales. My style is relaxed, and without losing sight that you’re making important lifelong promises to each other. Each ceremony is written together with you, sharing my experience and knowledge of the legals, together with your preferences for style and manner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6fdf9fa5ae243a435e1a6/1592545347684-0DR11IRM9RNMXLM6VZ4J/image-asset+%286%29.jpeg Sara Holt, Marriage Celebrant, Sydney NSW Am I the right celebrant for your day? Let’s find out! I’d love to chat, meet up in person or online and learn about the vision for your day. Getting married is a such a beautiful celebration, and you should feel comfortable in my company and safe in the knowledge that I know what I’m doing. I offer a flexible, all-inclusive package to help make your day streamlined and easy. I’m familiar with many wedding venues across Sydney and NSW, and happy to travel far and wide to help share the love of your special day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6fdf9fa5ae243a435e1a6/1592547407600-T9TGV9MUGZYNZROBIEF9/22281821_741074776092014_2777422756779673953_n.jpg Sara Holt, Marriage Celebrant, Sydney NSW 3. On The Day On the day you will require two witnesses, both over 18 to sign 3 marriage certificates. Usually the couple chooses one witness each. You get to keep the posh Certificate of Marriage. It is a legal document and absolute proof of marriage so put it somewhere safe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6fdf9fa5ae243a435e1a6/1592547204542-KZRVSPU9DQP5GL3IWY7D/D%2BK%2BSigning%2BDane%2B2.jpeg Sara Holt, Marriage Celebrant, Sydney NSW 2. The Lead Up I will give you some reading material. Part of my legal obligation is to hand you Happily Ever... Before and After, an information leaflet for couples who intend to marry. I will also give you information on the Code of Practice for Marriage Celebrants, which states I must tell you How to Make a Complaint. The Declaration of No Impediment to Marriage needs to be signed before your ceremony, this can be at a rehearsal or even on the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6fdf9fa5ae243a435e1a6/1592547126881-4TH723UTGO8MD8K397W6/Millie%2Band%2BTom.jpeg Sara Holt, Marriage Celebrant, Sydney NSW 4.

Since 2010 I’ve married couples near and far, from Queensland to the south coast of NSW. I offer a try-before-you-buy approach with an obligation free meet up. I feel it’s important that your choice of Celebrant is right for you and there’s so many to choose from, so why wouldn’t you shortlist a few? Getting married is a big deal and you should feel comfortable in my company and safe in the knowledge that I know what I’m doing. My style is relaxed, without losing sight that you’re making important lifelong promises to each other. Each ceremony is written with your collaboration and input, be assured you have complete control (apart from the legally binding bits). If you have any questions, or would like to arrange a chat, please drop me an email. You may also like to take a look at my Terms & Conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6fdf9fa5ae243a435e1a6/1592463520318-XX25LOFP530QS5GX9VXQ/transparency.png Alternative The Legal Process The primary piece of paperwork to get the ball rolling is the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) and is to be filled out one month, or a maximum of 18 months prior to your marriage. I have hard copies or you can download it from the Attorney General’s website here. You are both required to provide evidence of your name, date of birth and place of birth. Your passport is ideal for this. If using your birth certificate, it needs to be the original and please provide a current form of photo ID such as Drivers Licence or Proof of Age card. If you have been married before you will need to supply evidence that your previous marriage has been terminated. Documents you provide must be in English or accompanied with an approved NAATI translation. I will give you some reading material. Part of my legal obligation is to hand you Happily Ever... Before and After, an information leaflet for couples who intend to marry. I will also give you information on the Code of Practice for Marriage Celebrants, which states I must tell you How to Make a Complaint. The Declaration of No Impediment to Marriage needs to be signed before your ceremony, this can be at a rehearsal or even on the day. On the day you will require two witnesses, both over 18 to sign 3 marriage certificates. Usually the couple chooses one witness each. You get to keep the posh Certificate of Marriage.
