A traditional Registrar is there to handle the legal side of things – they take care of registering your marriage in law, making sure all the paperwork is in order. But when it comes to the ceremony, it’s a bit more standardised, formal and restrictive.
A Celebrant, on the other hand, is all about creating a ceremony that’s totally about you. While Celebrant-led ceremonies aren’t legally binding (that part is done separately, and there are plenty of ways to sort that out), they offer way more flexibility and freedom. You won’t be restricted by rules – you can have a ceremony that’s personal, creative, and totally unique. Whether you want to include special rituals, tell your story, or just make it your own, a Celebrant can do all that for you.
So, if you're looking for a ceremony that feels relaxed, meaningful, and completely tailored to you as a couple, a Celebrant is a fantastic choice!
