getting started
Once you have decided to get married there is a simple process to follow to get the ball rolling:
Select a date & venue for your ceremony
Book me as your Marriage Celebrant
Complete a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) at least one month before the ceremony with me
I will provide you with my comprehensive wedding booklet that will assist me to create the ceremony of your dreams
Just before the wedding date you both will sign a Declaration of No Legal Impediment Form that I will prepare for you
On your wedding day you each will need to have a witness over the age of 18 to sign the three documents to formalise your marriage
You will both need to bring the following documentation when completing your NOIM:
Original birth certificate (showing the date and place of birth) and
Photo ID (such as Drivers Licence)
or
Passport issued by the Australian government or a government of an overseas country (showing the date and place of birth)
also
If you have been previously married I will also need to see evidence of your divorce (a decree absolute) or the death certificate of your previous spouse if you are a widower
If you have officially changed your name I will need to see your legal proof of name change
If any of the documents are written in another language then you should also provide an accredited translation of these documents. Please contact me if you require assistance with this process
I will guide you through this whole process and be available to answer all of your questions along the way. I will prepare and lodge all the paperwork with NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages on your behalf.
