Perth Wedding Celebrant - Geoff Payne

In the heat of summer weddings can go avoidably wrong! Why?

Both parties need to eat before the wedding - You would be surprised at the number of brides and grooms who faint during the service!

Drink water at least 15 minutes before the service starts to keep hydrated - again helps to stop fainting and that awful dry mouth that seems to stop words from coming out no matter how hard you try!

Ask your visitors to turn off mobiles and the "click sound" on tablets and mobiles when taking pictures.

If the service is outdoors then find some shade to conduct the service or create a shady area with a pop up shade or umbrella.

Make sure your couple are not facing directly into the sun. Sounds so obvious doesn't it, however there is nothing worse than having to move the couple and guests in the middle of the service so they are not squinting during the service!

So What is the minimum needed to be legally married in Western Australia?

Not a lot really.
You need a state approved marriage Celebrant (used to be called civil celebrants) They will help fill out the Notice of intent to marry , sight the required documents and witness it. This must be completed at least 1 calendar month prior to the wedding date.

You both then need to sign and have witnessed a statuary declaration supplied by the celebrant before the wedding service.
During the service the celebrant must say a legally required paragraph and vows are then exchanged.

That's it. If you want to change your name (either party) you can do this after the event by completing a change of name form and pay currently $49 to Births, Deaths and Marriages.

You need to be on the lookout for some great deals this year. I have noticed that Perth venues especially are marketing very hard to get your business. So why not shop around and then ask what they can do for you to make them the only choice for your wedding venue!
