Your legal questions

 

Can you legally marry us?

 

Yes. We're registered legal solemnisers, so you can say "I do" and sign the legal register at your venue on the same day, without a separate registry office ceremony.

 

 

Do we need a pre-marriage course?

 

No. Civil celebrant ceremonies do not require a pre-marriage course.

 

 

How much notice do we need?

 

You need to give at least three months' notice to a registrar before your wedding. We'll guide you through the legal registration requirements.

 

 

Can we marry outdoors?

 

Yes, provided a weather plan is in place. Tell us about your venue and we'll talk it through with you.

 

Your ceremony

 

How long does a ceremony last?

 

Typically 35 to 40 minutes, written around your story and the elements you choose.

 

 

Can we include vows, readings and rituals?

 

Yes. You can include your own vows, readings, music, traditions, children and even pets. We'll build the ceremony around what matters to you.

 

 

Do you offer rehearsals?

 

Rehearsals generally aren't needed. In exceptional circumstances, such as for overseas couples, we can arrange one for an extra charge.

 

 

Are you an officiant for American couples?

 

Yes. In Ireland, a wedding officiant is usually called a celebrant or solemniser. We'd love to help American and international couples planning a wedding here.
