Parting Notes

When you’re talking to marriage celebrants, don’t settle for the first you speak to! Find someone who you and your partner truly click with—they are marrying the two of you, after all! Make sure you are comfortable enough with them to ask all the awkward and pressing questions, and don’t be afraid to ask them to meet face-to-face over coffee or drinks before you make a decision! Make sure you know exactly what is included in their fees and packages before you sign the contract as well.
