Information to assist couples from overseas who wish to marry in Australia

Sydney is a beautiful city, and its Northern Beaches are especially beautiful.  It is no wonder that many couples decide to marry here. 

If you are among those couples with this desire, I would be extremely happy to help you.  I was born in Ireland and have lived in Australia for 20 years.  I get great joy in sharing the beauty of Sydney and the Northern Beaches with visitors from overseas. 

Getting married here by a marriage celebrant is a very simple process. 

Step 1 - Email me (see Email page)  to ensure I am available on the date
            
and time required

Step 2 - Download the Notice of Intended Marriage form (see page entitled FORMS)

Step 3 - Complete Questions 1 - 18 for Bridegroom and Bride

Step 4 - Have your signature witnessed by any person as outlined in Part b on Page 4

Step 5 - Fax the signed Notice of Intended Marriage form to me on 612 9971 600 
            (I  must receive this at least one month and one day before your wedding)

Step 6 - Send the original Notice to me by registered post 

Step 7 - I will prepare the ceremony which I will email to you for approval

Step 8 - When you arrive here I will meet with you to see originals of  either your
             birth certificates or passports and if you have been married before
             original proof of the dissolution of marriage (final divorce papers or
             death certificate)

If you are an Australian living overseas who is to marry a person born overseas, and you require a letter for the Consulate, I am happy to provide this.
