Finding the right marriage celebrant is one of the most personal decisions you’ll make when planning your wedding. After all, this is the person who will stand beside you during your vows, guide you through the ceremony, and officially pronounce you married—so it’s got to be someone you genuinely connect with.
Before you start the search, it’s worth having a clear idea of the style of ceremony you’re after. Are you dreaming of a formal and traditional celebration? Or something more relaxed and full of laughs? Celebrants tend to have their own style, so finding one that suits your vibe will make the whole day feel more ‘you’.
Next, consider your budget. While many planning guides skip over the celebrant cost, we’ve done the research to give you real insights into what you can expect to spend—because while flowers and table settings are lovely, your celebrant is one of the few things you truly need to make the wedding official.
Once you know what you’re looking for and how much you’re happy to spend, head to the One Fine Day Wedding Directory and browse celebrants for wedding ceremony from all over Australia. You’ll be able to explore their portfolios, get a feel for their tone, and send direct enquiries to check availability and request quotes.
You can also take a peek at their Instagram and watch intro videos—right there on the One Fine Day Wedding Planning Directory. And if you’d prefer to meet face-to-face, come along to the Wedding Expos in Australia, held in Sydney or Melbourne, where you can chat to celebrants in person and see who you click with.
Start your wedding planning off strong by locking in the right celebrant for your big day.
