Should You Hire a Celebrant or Have a Friend Officiate Your Wedding?

Want your best mate, your dad or your sister leading your ceremony? With a Co-Pilot Ceremony, they can. They'll tell your story, make the jokes and lead the personal moments, with lessons, templates and support from me. Meanwhile, an authorised celebrant takes care of the legal side, so your marriage is 100% official.

Your wedding. Your person. Your ceremony.

An important note…

Depending on the package you choose, My Celebrant Buddy incorporates commitment ceremonies (this is for packages A and B - and overseas ceremonies - where the legal obligations are completed outside of the time of the ceremony). During such commitment ceremonies, your Celebrant Buddy will need to advise everyone present that the legal elements have been - or will be - taken care of at another time by an authorised Celebrant. The words ‘wedding’ or ‘marriage’ are to be avoided.
