Let's Plan Your Dream Wedding Together!
Getting Married by Christine Celebration Celebrant
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Your ceremony should be meaningful, personal, and reflect your personalities and journey together. I’m Christine, an authorised marriage celebrant based in Kurmond, NSW, creating relaxed and romantic ceremonies for couples across Australia.
Whether your wedding is intimate or larger, we will work closely to design a ceremony that is formal or informal, using sample texts, custom elements, or your own words, while including family, friends, music, or readings if you wish. At the end, you, two adult witnesses, and I will sign the Marriage Register and Certificates, and you will receive your Marriage Certificate.
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
✨ Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful days of your life—filled with love, joy, and memories to treasure forever.
As your celebrant, I work closely with you to create a ceremony that reflects who you are, your love story, and your personal style. My ceremony style is romantic, calm, and relaxed, allowing you and your guests to fully enjoy the moment.

Beautiful Rituals to enhance your Ceremony
FRIEND LED WEDDING CEREMONY, YES THIS IS POSSIBLE… LETS CHATS Special conditions apply
Have you considered having a friend run your wedding Ceremony?
It is both an honor and a significant responsibility to be asked to play a role in a family member's or friend's wedding. Your close friend or relative, who knows and loves you, has offered to help you with your ceremony.
While they may seem like the perfect choice, there is one catch – they are not legally authorised to officiate your wedding.
BUT…
Having a friend or relative perform a wedding is a common choice and simpler than you might think.
Your loved one can conduct the ceremony, but you will need a government-approved celebrant, like myself, to handle all the legal aspects.
I can incorporate all the legal wording and document signing and your friend or relative can do the fun parts.
It's that straightforward.
There is a fee for the legal part of the ceremony. Additional consultation fees may apply.
