About

Is there anything better than watching someone who's filled to the brim with pure happiness? Seeing their face burst into an uninhibited smile (or burst into tears of happiness!) because just can't be contained? That's the moment for me.... oh shucks, you'll have me every time... you know the airport scene in Love Actually?... it's like that. Let's create that.

Amanda recently performed a legals only wedding for us and we cannot speak highly enough of her. From the very first contact Amanda was a delight to deal with, she answers messages promptly and has an easy and friendly manner. We wanted the most basic of ceremonies and Amanda was happy to accommodate the way we wanted things done, and to come to our home for the ceremony. We would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a celebrant.

We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant, honestly. To work with Amanda was professional, helpful, punctual, flexible, understanding, fun, lovely, kind, very well priced and just an absolute pleasure. On the day she was better than we could've imagined. The way she told our story was priceless, it was so well written, funny and sweet, it captured all the best bits of our love story and who we are as individuals and a couple. She helped with some things back of house and helped with the organisation of the ceremony and run times in the absence of us having an event planner. And finally, she was an absolute hoot, so many people came up to me after to tell me how great she was and how much they loved our ceremony. We absolutely loved Amanda!! If we had to do it all over we would choose her again and again and again, she is just fantastic :)

It was such an honour to officiate your marriage Sian and Will! I loved every minute of creating your ceremony (so many fabulous stories to work with!) and being a part of your wedding day is something I'll always cherish. Thank you both x

Amanda was an absolute dream to work with! From our first conversation she was able to answer all of our questions and effortlessly guide us through the whole process. She wrote a beautifully engaging and entertaining ceremony for us and helped create the perfect vows. We also called on Amanda to be our MC, bringing much warmth and humour to proceedings, filling the room with fun and love. We both felt incredibly comfortable with her and have had so much great feedback from our guests. Thank you Amanda, we can’t recommend you highly enough.

Amanda Powers was our immediate choice when we looked at her joyous profile, but she exceeded our wildest expectations, such beautiful wordsmithery with our personal vows. And we were guided with so many options & examples for the ceremony format. Amanda was happy to offer simple or extravagant, whatever our desire were. And kindly offered us any extra wedding advice, due her vast experience. Generous with her time, communication and guidance, Amanda was not only professional but was warm, sensitive to our needs, kind and personable. Amanda is always smiling and all my guests just adored her on the day, having a celebrant that fitted in with the group is such an advantage. The wedding would not have been the same without Amanda's both fun and relaxed energy.

We attended a wedding last year where Amanda Louise officiated, and were very impressed with her. When we decided to get married recently, we asked her if she would be our celebrant, andwere delighted when she agreed. Our experience with Amanda Louise was wonderful. She was always friendly, professional, helpful,polite and sensitive to our wishes. She met with us in person several times before the wedding, and we enjoyed her company while exchanging information, ideas and preferences. She also liaised with us by phone and email as needed, and was always prompt for appointments and pre-arranged phone calls. Amanda Louise conducted our ceremony graciously, competently, and with warmth and good humour that was apparent to our guests. She handled all the necessary legal requirements quickly and efficiently. We could not imagine a better celebrant or a nicer person, and highly recommend her services.

Do we need a marriage celebrant?

Can we exchange vows on our wedding day , and just get registered at the registry office on separate day- and therefore not require a celebrant? And if so- is this more cost effective? Thank you

Amanda Louise

Yes, you absolutely can!.... however there's a couple of things to keep in mind.

You can exchange vows on your wedding day, and have a friend or family member 'officiate' the ceremony if you wish, however you will not be legally married. This type of ceremony is commonly called a 'commitment ceremony' and does not require a celebrant.

You would not be legally married until you exchange your vows with an Authorised Marriage Celebrant, infront of 2 witnesses and complete all the necessary paperwork, including the NOIM at least 1 month prior. This legal ceremony could either be in a registry office or with a marriage celebrant.

Whether or not this is more cost effective depends on where you intend to marry and also the celebrants available to you. Many offer a 'legal's only' service which can be very reasonable and perhaps, a little more personal too.

Friend conducting our ceremony

If I have a friend conducting my ceremony and a qualified celebrant there to do the legal parts, can my friend pronounce us husband and wife at the end?

Amanda Louise

Yes of course! I very recently conducted a ceremony in conjuction with a friend of the family. They read out majority of the ceremony script, including the pronoucement at the end of the ceremony, and I simply stepped in to cover the sections which are required by law to legally marry two people in Australia.

Whilst the ceremony can be handled in this manner, it is still necessary for the celebrant to also complete all the requirements pre and post-ceremony to ensure the marriage is legal and binding.

Marriage without the ceremony

Hi! My partner and I would like to get legally married without a ceremony at this stage - is there anyone that can provide advice as to whether we can formally sign the legal documents without having a ceremony and saying vows? We haven't submitted the NOIM as yet but have it ready. Ive asked BDM however they arent able to provide me any advice. Thank you!

Amanda Louise

To be legally married in Australia, the minimum requirement is a 'legal's only' ceremony, which does include you both saying vows. This type of ceremony is very simple however. In attendance would be you, me and two witnesses and would take approximately 5 mins, including signing the necessary paperwork.

In order to hold a ceremony such as this, you would need to submit your NOIM with the celebrant at least one month prior to the date of your ceremony (only under exceptional circumstances can this time be reduced).
