What my clients say about their ceremony
Our guests loved him and commented on what a great speaker Pat is and how warm and engaging he was.
Pat is also very flexible on how you would like to run the ceremony and the vows you’d like to exchange and really does make the day all about you.
We would recommend Pat to anyone looking for a Marriage Celebrant.
Thank you, Pat, for making our day so special.
Kerry O’Connell
From our first meeting, he put us at ease and enabled us to have the casual and relaxed wedding we have always dreamed of.
There were laughs, tears and everything in between.
So for this Pat, we are truly grateful and so glad we found you.
I highly recommend Pat if you also want a beautiful, personalised and memorable ceremony.

Marriage Celebrant Gold Coast
A person who performs a marriage ceremony.
A person authorised to perform marriage ceremonies or civil partnership declarations by the Office of Fair Trading in Queensland. Marriage celebrants are not legally recognised marital status officials, however, they are recognised as having the authority to solemnise marriages in Australia under section 47 of the Marriage Act (1961).
The Civil Marriage Eligibility
In order to be eligible for a civil marriage ceremony, the couple must meet the following criteria:
-Both partners are 18 years or older and not already married.
-Neither partner is near death.
-Both partners are mentally competent to understand the nature and commitment of marriage.
-Marriages of same-sex couples are recognised in Australia.
Choosing the right Wedding Celebrant
If you are searching for a reputable and qualified wedding celebrant, here are five suggestions that can help make choosing the right one easier:
1. Check Licenses and Registrations: Search your state’s online database for information on marriage celebrants in your area.
A licensed marriage celebrant will typically be registered with the Bureau of Vital Statistics and will have a certificate of authority from the officiate to perform ceremonies.
Other states may have a different name for this certificate, but it will state whether the marriage celebrant has authority to perform weddings in the area.
The Commitment ceremony
in Australia can either be performed by an authorised celebrant or an authorised minister of religion.
The commitment ceremony is a ritual involving the participation of two people in a romantic relationship. The event often takes place in a public area with friends and family members of both individuals present, who share their joy and excitement.
The marriage contract
is a prenuptial agreement clause that covers almost every aspect of the relationship between a couple. It is generally executed by both people on the date of marriage, but can also be signed at any time prior to or after the wedding. The purpose of such a contract is to legally and formally outline everything that is anticipated to occur between a married couple as they embark on their lives together. They are intended to work out any problems that may arise in the event of divorce, separation or death.
The most common agreement concerns property division, but it can also be used to set out alimony and child care provisions or provide for educational expenses and other issues dealing with parenting as well as adoption. If a divorce is inevitable, it may be preferable to seek legal advice from an experienced family law attorney before entering into the agreement.
Marriage vows
can be a time-consuming task. They involve a lot of thought and feeling, and it’s important to put your heart into them so they’re meaningful. If you get stuck, ask someone for help or go over them to make sure that you’ve included everything that matters to you.
You might also want to consider getting a wedding mentor. This can make the whole process much easier and more enjoyable.
