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.
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:

- your friend leads a separate symbolic celebration if you want that
