As a Marriage Celebrant I have the fortune to be a part of many events from small intimate gatherings to much larger grand affairs. This means that I can meet with many Vendors in the event space and I am proud to be able to offer you some guidance in this area or at the least provide some resource for you to view vendors that you can trust.
There are also certain legal requirements that you must ensure are undertaken before you can be declared legally married and you will find the links to those resources here as well.
