Same-sex marriages, non-binary weddings, LGBTQI+, straight, somewhere in between? It makes no difference who you are, the importance of finding the right civil celebrant is key to the success of your wedding day.
Believe it or not, there are still marriage celebrants in Sydney and elsewhere who are not comfortable with the idea of same-sex or queer weddings. It’s important you feel totally comfortable with whomever you choose to officiate at your marriage ceremony.
There are some simple ways to establish whether a wedding celebrant is right for you. Check out their website and socials. Have they performed same-sex weddings? Do they have photos and testimonials? Perhaps they advertise in pink circles? Do they fly the rainbow flag? Or simply pick up the phone and speak to potential celebrants. You’ll soon get an idea of who’s right for you. Trust your instincts.
Keep this simple checklist in mind. Is your celebrant:
- Approachable and responsive
- Warm, with a similar sense of humour to you and yours
- Calm and unflappable
- Open-minded and imaginative
- Professional and thorough
- Sensitive and discreet?
With my wealth of experience as a Sydney marriage celebrant, I urge you to choose this important person carefully. The wedding celebrant represents you and your partner in tone, style and content.
