Your Guide to Marriage Celebrants in Adelaide


When you're picturing your Adelaide wedding, you're probably thinking of all the precious moments, the heartfelt vows, and the faces of your loved ones looking on from the crowd. There's one other person you should be considering — and it's not your spouse! 

A marriage celebrant is an essential part of any wedding ceremony. Not only do they have the vital role of making the marriage legally binding, but they also create the atmosphere for your guests and give them a special glimpse into your story. The best marriage celebrants can craft a ceremony that truly reflects your journey to the aisle, including funny anecdotes, inside jokes, personal readings, and even pieces of music. The sky is truly the limit when it comes to building a ceremony around your unique wedding day vision.


Why hire a professional wedding celebrant in Adelaide?

So, why hire a celebrant for your Adelaide wedding? First and foremost, you'll need a celebrant to make the ceremony legally binding. While some couples might be tempted to opt for a friend or a family member, they're usually surprised by the time and cost that goes into getting legally registered as a marriage celebrant. Celebrants also play a valuable role in the smooth running of a wedding day. Read on to learn more.


What does a wedding celebrant do?

You may be asking yourself 'what does a celebrant actually do?' Legalities aside, your celebrant should be a calming force of organisation and reassurance on your wedding day. After all, this is what they do for a living! They're adept at managing and engaging guests, putting nervous couples at ease, and, of course, making sure all paperwork is filed as required.

Your celebrant will guide and officiate your ceremony, creating a warm, personalised experience that reflects the personalities, beliefs, and values of you and your partner. In weddings, it's a celebrant's role to work closely with the couple to design a ceremony that feels authentic to them, including any special rituals, readings, or vows they wish to include. They handle everything from planning and scripting the ceremony to officiating on the day, ensuring everything runs smoothly and resonates meaningfully with the couple and their guests.


How much does a marriage celebrant cost in Adelaide?

Ever wondered why wedding celebrants are so expensive? While the fee might seem steep, you're paying for: 

  • In-person interviews with you and your partner to discuss the ceremony 
  • Time and expertise spent crafting a personalised ceremony script 
  • Time and expertise spent lodging the paperwork to ensure your marriage is legal 
  • A commemorative marriage certificate
  • The AV equipment you will need for a smooth (and audible!) wedding ceremony
  • Travel to the ceremony
  • Optional extras like MC services, hand-tying ceremonies, and wedding rehearsals for your peace of mind
As Australia's wedding industry leaders, accurate data is important to us at Easy Weddings. That's why we conduct our annual wedding industry report, surveying thousands of Australian couples and hundreds of wedding businesses. This survey gives us valuable insight into the average cost of an Adelaide wedding celebrant: 
  • Australian wedding celebrant average cost: $924
  • Adelaide wedding celebrant average cost: $779 
This data makes Adelaide one of the most affordable cities in the country to engage in marriage celebrant services, significantly behind the most expensive state, Victoria, with an average marriage celebrant cost of $1,027. That's great news for Adelaide couples! 

If you're looking to save dollars on your wedding spend, marriage celebrants often offer off-season or mid-week rates. If you're willing to schedule your wedding during the winter months or for a weekday celebration, you very well could walk away with an excellent deal. If you're wondering how your celebrant's fee will fit in with your overall wedding budget, why not take the time to review our in-depth breakdown of the cost of a South Australian wedding?


How to choose the best marriage celebrant in Adelaide?

Firstly, you've come to the right place! A perfect place to begin your hunt for an Adelaide celebrant is right here in our Easy Weddings directory. We recommend shortlisting two to three top options to enquire with.


Our top shortlisting tips for Adelaide celebrants
  • Take the time to read the portfolios and listing descriptions of celebrants. This will give you invaluable insight into their approach to the job, experience in the industry, and style of ceremony. If you're envisioning a side-splittingly funny ceremony, look out for a great sense of humour in the portfolio contents. Similarly, if you want an understated and elegant ceremony, enquire with suppliers who specialise in that style of occasion. 
  • Read reviews. You can peruse the testimonials of other couples right here on the Easy Weddings platform. Look out for comments around both the planning experience and the resulting ceremony. 
  • Schedule an in-person consultation. This is your opportunity to gain clarity, learn more about your prospective celebrant, and ask all of those pesky questions. Are you unsure of what to ask? Review our questions to ask a wedding celebrant guide to ensure you don't miss anything! 
  • Check the celebrant’s registration and experience. There's no substitute for experience. In your search for the perfect marriage celebrant, don't be shy about asking for their credentials and industry experience. Of course, your final decision will hinge on much more than the number of weddings they've officiated. That said, if you want a seasoned professional, knowing just how many weddings they have under their belt is important. On the other hand, if a fresh, fun vibe is higher on the priority list, a greener celebrant can bring a younger perspective and new ideas.


What does a marriage celebrant need to know about the couple?

Time to open up and get ready to share! Many couples find the process of expressing their emotions and conveying their story trickier than expected. The right celebrant can help make this process more natural. While it can seem awkward or invasive to tell someone you don't know well about your love story, the result will be a tailor-made ceremony filled with anecdotes and details that are personal to you. 


How do Adelaide marriage celebrants personalise wedding ceremonies?

  • Learning about you! Your Adelaide celebrant of choice will have a process for how they personally like to learn about their couples. Often, this includes an online questionnaire, which can be a great option for couples who find it easier to outline their thoughts in the comfort of their own home. You'll also meet the celebrant in person or on Zoom. This is where the celebration will ask you more general questions about how you see your wedding celebration in terms of length, tone, and style. 
  • Changing the tone. No two couples are the same. A perfect ceremony for one couple might be far to sentimental for another. That's why it's important for celebrants to alter their tone to reflect the personalities of the couple. This might mean ramping up the humour or keeping things a little more conservative, depending on the couple. 
  • Adding special elements or rituals. From handfasting and unity candle lighting to personalised vows or symbolic gifts, these small touches can beautifully capture a couple's unique story, values, or culture. Each ritual is a chance to pause, reflect, and connect, turning the celebration into a heartfelt experience that resonates with both the couple and their loved ones.
