Legal Information and Options



You both must be over the age of 18 years (under 18 years special rules apply). A Notice of Intended Marriage must be completed and lodged with me (I provide all blank documents required) no less than one month before your Ceremony (if your fiance' is overseas, the resident party may sign the Notice of Intended Marriage (the date will run from that date of signature) however, the other party must sign such document plus a Declaration and provide original documents, prior to Ceremony). I need to sight Passport or Birth Certificate (in English-Translations must be by an accredited Translator) and if using Birth Certificate I also must sight photo ID. If previously married I need to sight Divorce or Death Certificate.


Relationships Australia and Centacare provide Relationship Building Courses. By Law, I must inform you of such Courses being available, however, by Law it is not mandatory that you attend such a Course.


There are many Ceremony Options - Candle Ceremony with taper candles, Exchange of Rose/Lei Ceremony, Sand Pouring Ceremony, Words Only Ceremony, Cultural Inclusions.


I officiate only one Ceremony on any one day which means that you can change your time if need be as your Day approaches.
