Windsor NSW 2756, Australia

17th Aug 2026

My partner and I are planning a very small and relaxed camping wedding, with just 12 people in total, including the two of us. We’re imagining a very simple and relaxed ceremony, where we’ll just say a few words to each other surrounded by our closest friends—nothing fancy, with no flowers or special decorations (not the typical wedding). LGBTQ friendly.

Top Wedding Celebrant related questions

Yes. In Australia, a marriage is legally binding when it’s solemnised by an authorised celebrant and the legal requirements are met, including lodging a Notice of Intended Marriage at least one month beforehand and having two witnesses over 18. Authorised celebrants are Commonwealth-registered marriage celebrants, ministers of religion of a recognised denomination, and state or territory officers. Your celebrant then registers the marriage with the registry of births, deaths and marriages in your state or territory. So a celebrant-led ceremony can be both personal and legal, and you can still set up a flower wall wherever you say your vows.

Celebrants are focused on creating a personalised ceremony that considers your love story, desired location, music, and even the way you and your partner want to say your vows. In Australia, a civil marriage celebrant must be registered with the Commonwealth to perform a legal marriage, so confirm your celebrant’s registration before you book. Meanwhile, registrars are focused on the technical and legal aspects of marrying you in the eyes of the law.

Being ordained isn’t enough on its own. A minister of religion can solemnise a legal marriage in Australia only if they’re authorised under the Marriage Act 1961. That means either being a minister of a recognised denomination registered with a state or territory registry, or being registered with the Attorney-General’s Department as a marriage celebrant. An online ordination doesn’t make someone an authorised celebrant.

If the person you’d like to lead your ceremony isn’t authorised, they can still conduct it, but you’ll need an authorised celebrant or a registry office to solemnise the legal marriage. You can check Australian marriage celebrants on the Attorney-General’s Department’s register before you book.

It depends on the kind of ceremony and how much preparation goes into it. A short, simple legal ceremony costs less than a fully personalised ceremony with several planning meetings, a rehearsal and a custom script. Travel to your venue, the day and time, and extras such as a PA system for outdoor ceremonies also affect the price.

Your celebrant handles the legal paperwork. The official marriage certificate from your state or territory registry is ordered separately and has its own fee. Post your task with your date, venue, guest numbers and the type of ceremony you want, and compare offers from marriage celebrants near you.

What do wedding celebrant services include?

When you book a Tasker as your marriage celebrant, you can expect them to help you craft the wedding that best represents your love. This includes getting to know you as a couple, personalising the ceremony to fit your taste, and officiating the service. In general, you can expect a Tasker to do the following:

Getting to know the couple

The beauty of having a celebrant-officiated ceremony is that it is bespoke. To do this, the wedding officiant starts by getting to know you as a couple. They may ask how you met, your love story so far, and even how your family and friends have helped you along the way. This initial interview may take around an hour. 

Preparing the ceremony script

After you and the wedding officiant have warmed up to each other, it’s time to prepare the actual wording of your marriage ceremony. If you don’t have a program flow in mind yet, the Tasker can walk you through different templates they’ve used in the past. They can also recommend a program flow that best fits your vision for your big day. Naturally, they’ll customise the spiels to suit your taste and your love story.

The Tasker may even submit the spiels to you for your approval. Should you choose to have songs and readings at your wedding but are having trouble picking the right ones, your wedding celebrant may help you select these as well.

If you want to include something unique to your ceremony, such as a tribute to a deceased family member, an out-of-the-box way to exchange vows, or a special ritual, the marriage celebrant can help you craft these parts of the program.

Assistance with writing the wedding vows

A celebrant-led wedding is only legally binding if your celebrant, whether a civil marriage celebrant or a minister of religion, is authorised to solemnise marriages in Australia, so check their registration before you book. Your celebrant will also help you get your paperwork done on time. Additionally, they see to it that your registered witnesses are there on the day itself (or during your legally binding ceremony). Sometimes, this service can include submitting the wedding licence to the authorities.

Assistance with legal documents

While not all celebrant-officiated weddings are considered legal (this may depend on your location and the Tasker’s credentials), the celebrant may also help you make sure you get your paperwork done on time. Additionally, they see to it that your registered witnesses are there on the day itself (or during your legally binding ceremony). Sometimes, this service can include submitting the wedding licence to the authorities.  

Performing the ceremony

At last, it’s your wedding day! You can usually expect the wedding celebrant to arrive early and help you prepare. They’ll perform the ceremony as agreed on, make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible, then pronounce your spouses for life. 

Want to add an extra bit of personalisation to your wedding giveaways? You can book a Tasker to prepare personalised cupcakes or make engraved wedding souvenirs for your special day.
