Our ceremonies are well-organised, well-managed, well-presented and not over-the-top.

Presentable and not over the top
With a 10 year career as a radio presenter, Event Wedding's lead celebrant Sy Chung prioritises presentability and comfort of listeners, easy to follow for all without being overdramatic or over the top.

Professional yet Personal
A wedding ceremony should feel personal, but it should also be conducted professionally. We combine your story, your personalities and your values with a clear structure, organised delivery and professional presentation. Personal moments are balanced with the legal requirements, vows and formal elements of the ceremony. Professional appearance. Clear communication. Personal content.

Personality without self-indulgence
The ceremony should be about the couple, not the celebrant. Our storytelling style focuses on presenting your story naturally and authentically, without unnecessary theatrics, forced emotional moments or drawing attention away from the people who matter most. The spotlight belongs to the couple.

Proper and appropriate humour, not a comedy show
A little humour can help guests relax and remain engaged. Where appropriate, we incorporate light-hearted observations and natural moments of humour. The goal is to create warmth and connection, not to turn the ceremony into a comedy performance. Memorable, enjoyable and balanced.

The marriage process is stipulated by the Marriage Act 1961. The service we provide is under Civil Marriage Celebrant provisions. Details below is our internal general guide that satisfy almost all weddings that we plan:

(1) Celebrant's Interview: During the celebrant's interview, you need to satisfy the celebrant that you are (a) of legal age to be married; (b) no one is forcing you to be married; (c) you are not currently married to someone else; (d) you are not prohibited relatives; (e) you do not believe there are any legal impediments that may prevent you from getting married in Australia.

(2) Completion of Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM): In Australia you cannot just get married whenever you want, but you must inform the government that you are intending to get married. Generally this document must be received by a celebrant at least one month from the wedding day.

(3) Completion of Declaration of Non-Impediment to Marriage: Prior to the marriage ceremony, you must sign this document effectively confirming that your circumstances since you signed the NOIM has not changed.

(4) Marriage Ceremony: A marriage ceremony is to be conducted in accordance to the stipulations of the Marriage Act. During the ceremony there must be the authorised celebrant, the couple getting married as well as two 18+ witnesses. The witnesses can be related to the couple. A legal vow must also be read by the couple.

(5) Signing of Papers: Immediately after the ceremony concludes, the couple is to sign 3 marriage certificates: Two is for the celebrant and government; and one the couple can keep called the Form 15 Certificate. Form 15 is generally not officially recognised.

(6) Post-Ceremony: After the ceremony, either the celebrant or couple can request for a copy of the official registered version of the certificate for an extra fee stipulated by the NSW Government. The marriage will then be registered officially by the Department of Births Deaths and Marriages with the following two weeks. A Marriage registration number will be provided to the couple.
