How many people need to be present at the wedding ceremony?
What if we want to keep it simple, like elope?
I am very to explore with you a legals-only or elopement ceremony with the few mandatory aspects of a marriage ceremony to make the marriage legal. The minimum legal requirements are:
- Monitum
- Legal vows
- Signing of documents
- Party 1 and Party 2 full names must be used during the ceremony and for all signing of documents.
What documents are required to complete the NOIM?
As your Celebrant I will need to sight:
- Evidence of your date and place of birth (birth certificate or passport)
- Identity (driver’s licence or passport)
- Proof that a previous marriage has ended
