Becoming an Authorised Celebrant
A brief overview of becoming an authorised celebrant, and why it is usually not the right path if you only want one friend-led ceremony.
Perth Marriage Office is a private celebrant service for low-cost, paperwork-only marriages in Perth. Ready to get started? Click Get Married. Need help with your Notice of Intended Marriage? Use NOIM Easy.
Becoming an authorised celebrant is a real qualification and registration process. It is not something most people do just to marry one friend.
If You Only Need One Ceremony
The simpler option is usually:
- we handle the legal marriage, and
- your friend leads a separate symbolic celebration if you want that
If You Really Want to Become a Celebrant
