Question 1

How much does a marriage celebrant cost in Perth?

Accepted Answer

Steven Conroy's legal wedding ceremonies start from just $350, making him one of the most affordable marriage celebrants in Perth. This includes your personalised ceremony, all legal paperwork, lodgement with the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, and your official marriage certificate. No hidden fees.

Question 2

Can I get married anywhere in Perth?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Steven performs wedding ceremonies all across Perth and Western Australia — from Cottesloe Beach and Kings Park to Swan Valley wineries, Fremantle rooftops, Rottnest Island, and your own backyard. As long as you have two witnesses and a valid Notice of Intended Marriage, you can get married anywhere.

Question 3

How far in advance do I need to book a celebrant?

Accepted Answer

By Australian law, you need to lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage at least one month before your wedding date. However, booking 3-6 months ahead is recommended to secure your preferred date, especially during Perth's busy wedding season (September to April). For short-notice or same-week weddings, get in touch.

Question 4

What is a civil celebrant vs a marriage celebrant?

Accepted Answer

In Australia, a civil celebrant and a marriage celebrant are the same thing — a person authorised by the Commonwealth Attorney-General to legally perform marriages. Unlike a religious celebrant, a civil celebrant can perform non-religious, interfaith, or personalised ceremonies anywhere in Australia.

Question 5

What's the difference between a registry wedding and a celebrant wedding?

Accepted Answer

A registry wedding takes place at the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages office and follows a standard format. With a celebrant wedding, you choose the location, the words, and the style — making it far more personal. Steven's 'Simply Legal' ceremony gives you the flexibility of a celebrant wedding at a price comparable to a registry wedding in Perth.

Question 6

Do you perform elopement ceremonies in Perth?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Elopements are a specialty. Whether it's just the two of you on a quiet Perth beach at sunset, or a small gathering with your closest people, Steven will make it intimate, meaningful, and completely stress-free. Elopement packages start from $350.

Question 7

What legal paperwork do I need to get married in Australia?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to complete a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) at least one month before your wedding, provide valid ID (passport or birth certificate), and have two witnesses aged 18 or over present on the day. Steven handles all the paperwork and lodges everything with the authorities.

Question 8

Can same-sex couples get married in Perth?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Same-sex marriage has been legal in Australia since December 2017. Steven proudly celebrates love in all its forms and has officiated many beautiful same-sex weddings across Perth.
