Surprise and Themed Wedding

Welcome to my website. On here there should be all the information that you require to know about getting married in Australia , whether you are a local, or coming from overseas.

I am was appointed a Marriage Celebrant in 2004 after completing my training and registration in 2003. Since then I have conducted many weddings all over Western Australia from Kununurra to Narrogin and Merredin. Most have been in the Perth Metropolitan area though. See some of over 60 location that I have conducted weddings at.

I bring to ceremonies a strong voice, a commanding presence and thoroughly enjoy conducting the ceremonies. I have a great sense of humour which I like to use in the ceremonies as well.

Legal Information

Getting married in Australia is quite straight forward. You simply have to lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage Form with me at least one month and one day before you get married. If you are unable to have me witness your signatures , there is a list of people on page 4 who are authorised to do this, so you can get a person with that title to witness your signatures. Then send it off to me. Note Commissioner of Declarations are no longer accepted as witnesses.

You then need to prove (before you can get married), by official certificates written in, or translated into, English that you are
1. who you are (by original birth certificate (or birth extract) or NON AUSTRALIAN Passport - if you were born outside of Australia)
2. that you are free to marry ( because you have never married, are divorced or widow/widower). If you have been married previously I need to sight either original Divorce or Death certificates to explain why you are now free to marry.
3. that you are of legal age to marry (generally over 18 years)
4. that there are no legal reasons why you should not get married.

If you cannot provide some or all of the above details we are allowed to ask you to provide a Statutory declaration as to the details. This applies to where the information is NOT available to a person eg through displacement or war. Normally, not having enough time is not a reason for using a Statutory Declaration.

I will assist you through the whole process.

If you are overseas and are planning on a holiday /elopement wedding the above conditions apply. I have married many couples who live overseas and have come to our warm shores to get married. We can sort everything out by email, and snail mail then meet up when you arrive.

Much more legal information is on a separate page

Visa Weddings.

This is where an Australian citizen is applying for a Visa through DIMIA to bring a fiancee into Australia with the intention of getting married and living here. I conduct many such weddings per year. I am happy to support couples in their process from the marriage ceremony aspects. I can not give advice about what you have to do to apply I am sorry.

If you would like a letter about your intention to marry a fiance who is not an Australian Citizen and are applying for a fiancee Visa - contact me as soon as possible, and I will give you the necessary letter to give to DIMIA as part of your application. Email me for more details - graham@formywedding.com.au 

What couples get from me is a letter stating that they (one or both of the couple) have signed a Notice of Intended Marriage (NIM) form, lodged it with me to be married on a date we have negotiated, and paid a non refundable Booking Fee with me. I then write the letter and give the person who lodges the NIM with me 4 copies of the letter. A date for marriage generally has to be fixed for the Visa application process, but once you have the visa, you may then renegotiate with me. For much more details see my VISA PAGES.

Email, or phone,  me if you would like to see me quickly about getting a letter.
