Getting Married? 🥂
I’m Danielle
(AKA The Zesty Celebrant)
As a Celebrant, I specialize in creating personalized and meaningful wedding ceremonies that reflect the unique love story between you and your partner. With years of experience in the industry, I have the expertise and knowledge to guide you through the planning process and ensure that your ceremony is a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Whether you're looking for a traditional or modern ceremony, I will work with you to create a celebration that perfectly captures the essence
of your relationship.
As a "Professional FUN Person" by trade, I love bringing joy and laughter to everyone I meet.
I run improv comedy in my spare time, so you can be sure I know how to keep things light and fun on your big day. And when I'm not performing, I spend my time cuddling with my two cats, Lavender and Layla, and drinking soy chai lattes.
It’s my 1st Anniversary

The following legal requirements are a must for a marriage conducted by a registered marriage celebrant to be considered legal in Australia:
You are required to have two witnesses at the ceremony who are at least 18 years of age to sign the certificates and register with you.
Both parties must be at least 18 years of age. (With the exception of Section 12 from The Marriage Act 1961).
You must sign a declaration to state that there are no legal impediments to the marriage, (for example, being married to someone else with no divorce finalised, the bride and groom being too closely related etc.)
A Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) must be lodged with your celebrant no less than one month and no earlier than 18 months before your ceremony. (With the exception of Section 42 (5) of The Marriage Act 1961 - A ‘Shortening of Time’ may be applied for under the right circumstances and must be approved by a Prescribed Authority. Ask me how.)
There are also 4 things that MUST be said during the ceremony: I must always introduce myself, the couple’s full names must be said at least once, the Monitum must be said, and the legal vows must be recited.
-
You must show your original (not photocopied) birth certificate, extract of birth OR Passport.
If you have been married previously, you must show your Divorce Decree Absolute or Death Certificate of your previous spouse.
For full details and all the info for couples who are about to get married, I recommend visiting the Attorney General's Department website.
