About
Why am I a Celebrant? Plain and simply because I love the whole experience of meeting a couple, hearing their story and taking the wonderful journey of planning their day with them. Working together right up until I introduce them to their family and friends as "our newly married couple". What's not to love in being involved in one of the most important days of a couple's life - the excitement, happiness and their love is something I'll never get tired of being involved in.

Get Expert AdviceIf you are married, can you still be maid of honour in a Catholic Church
Celebrate With Me - Debbie Payne
Traditionally the Maid of Honour is a single person and the Matron of Honour is Married. Their duties remain the same. You may also choose to have a "Man of Honour" who undertakes the same duties. ;)
Non-religious Celebrant in a Chapel
Hi, My Fiancé and I have booked in through the Cooma Parish to use the Thredbo Chapel for our big day (and paid in advance). If we have declined using the catholic priest can we use a non-denominational Civil celebrant, or are we required to use a religious celebrant?
Celebrate With Me - Debbie Payne
I have found that if there is a resident Priest or Minister assigned to the church/chapel then it is expected that they will conduct the Ceremony.
The only instance that this could not occur is if they are not authorised to conduct a Marriage Ceremony.
Who can be our witnesses if we don't know anyone in Australia?
Celebrate With Me - Debbie Payne
If you are eloping or this is a very small ceremony, as long as there are 2 people over the age of 18 present to witness the Marriage (mandatory wording) and they are able to understand English.
I have had couples who have asked their photographer and a stranger or strangers. Before we commence I will advise the witnesses of their requirements . You will find they are so excited to be asked and to be a part of the Ceremony.
