Parties to a marriage are required to give an authorised celebrant at least one month’s written notice prior to the solemnisation of their marriage. This notice is known as the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM). The NOIM must be given to the celebrant no later than one month before the date of the marriage.Here are some examples that explain the meaning of one month as it applies to the NOIM.
If you are not sure about the marriage process, I will provide professional advice and information based on years of experience and expert celebrant training.
From 12 June 2024 all authorised marriage celebrants are required under the Marriage Act 1961 (the Marriage Act) to meet with each party to the marriage separately and in person before they solemnise the marriage.

I am obliged to comply with the Marriage Act 1961 and other laws of the Commonwealth and of this State, and to be on the lookout to prevent and avoid unlawful discrimination in the provision of marriage celebrant services. The Act sets out a uniform scheme for the solemnization of marriages by authorized celebrants.
Ceremony comes from the Latin “caerimonia,” which means sacredness, reverence, sacred rite; a formal religious or sacred observance; a solemn rite; also any formal act or observance. The term sacred means designated to be of highest value; regarded with reverence; entitled to veneration or respect by association with divinity or divine things; that which is considered hallowed, holy.
Should you require the services of an interpreter, please check this chart, or contact me as I have several more options on my Services Database. Where the person by whom or in whose presence a marriage is to be solemnized considers that it is desirable to do so, the person may use the services of an interpreter.

The focus of a wedding renewal is the promises you are making to each other, in the spirit of love, and the sacred ritual of marriage. The good news is, there are far less rules and dos and don’ts about vow renewal than almost any other kind of ritual. It can be as simple as the two of you alone, in a beautiful spot, reciting vows you have written, or a fancy affair with hundreds of guests.
