Book your wedding ceremony interview with us
At your first meeting with us, our experienced celebrant team will help you and your partner to:
- lodge your completed notice of intended marriage application form
- book a date and time for your wedding—before you arrive for your interview, you should both agree on at least 3 preferred ceremony dates
- show your original proof of ID and eligibility documents
- apply for a marriage certificate
- pay the fee
- tell us if you have any special requirements (e.g. wheelchair access).
If either of you can’t speak and understand English, you need to bring someone who can translate for you.

Want to book your wedding date before you meet with us?
Planning a wedding is exciting and many couples want to book their date before they meet with us. Your interview must be at least 1 month before or up to 18 months before your wedding date.
You can choose your ceremony date before your interview appointment—fees will apply.
If you haven’t visited our venue, book into one of our ceremony room viewings first so that you have had a chance to see our beautiful rooms and to talk to a celebrant.
Not from Brisbane?
If you live outside Southeast Queensland and want to get married at the Brisbane registry, but can’t attend an interview in person, we want to help.
First choose your ceremony date and we will work with you to plan your special day with us.
