Renewal of Marriage Vows

Any married couple, of any age and married any length of time, can arrange a Renewal of Marriage Vows Ceremony. Often these ceremonies are associated with a special wedding anniversary but the ceremony is just as appropriate for couples at any stage of marriage.

The ceremony is created by the couple with the help of the Celebrant, and just as no two marriage unions are the same, no two Renewal of Marriage Vows Ceremonies will be the same. Special people in your lives can take part in your ceremony, your children, guests who were at the wedding and any friends and relatives. You will need to ask two people to witness the signing of the Certificate of the event.

A Celebrant will conduct the ceremony but will not be acting in any official capacity, even if they also work as a Registrar. Celebrants are trained and experienced in conducting many different ceremonies so do ask their advice on anything you are unsure about.
