Suresh Patel, marriage celebrant

I still remember standing at my son's wedding and watching the celebrant bring such warmth to an important moment in our family. I remember thinking to myself, this is something I would genuinely love to do for other families too.

That experience inspired me to become a fully qualified civil marriage celebrant. My role is to take care of the legal side of your marriage while making the ceremony feel personal, comfortable and true to you as a couple — whether we celebrate at my home in Fraser Rise, at your home, or at another venue you have chosen.

As a first-generation migrant who proudly calls Australia home, I understand how important family, culture and community can be on a wedding day.

In the past 1.5 years, I've had the privilege of marrying more than 50 couples. One of the nicest things I hear from couples who marry at our home is how relaxed, welcoming and positive the experience feels. For me, that's exactly how such an important day should feel.

How it works

Making the legal process simple.

There are a few legal steps that every couple needs to complete before getting married in Australia. I'll guide you through each one, take care of the paperwork with you and make the process as straightforward as possible.

01

Free initial consultation

We'll have a relaxed chat about what you're planning, what matters to you and any questions you have. There's no obligation and no consultation fee.

02

Sign your Notice of Intended Marriage

When you're ready to proceed, I'll help you complete and sign your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM), which formally starts the legal process.

03

The 30-day waiting period

Australian law generally requires your NOIM to be given at least one month before the wedding. Once that's underway, we'll confirm your ceremony date based on availability.

04

Your ceremony day

On the day, I'll guide you through a warm and relaxed ceremony, make sure the required legal wording and paperwork are completed, and submit your marriage documents afterwards.

Kind words from the couples I've married.

No two weddings are exactly the same, but the words I hear most often afterwards are warm, relaxed and personal. I'm grateful to every couple who has trusted me with their day and taken the time to share their experience.
