You've decided that a celebrant ceremony is the way to go for your wedding day. Excellent news! But, when exactly should you book your date with your chosen celebrant?
How soon should you book your ceremony?
There's no such thing as booking too early! Your future self will thank you for it if you book your celebrant as soon as you have your wedding date confirmed. Popular wedding celebrants get booked up years in advance. So, don’t wait around.
If you're getting married at a venue
This usually means you decide on a venue and get that booked first. Once you have your date locked in with your venue, everything else can be organised around that.
Elopement plans or getting married at home
Again, everything stems from your wedding date. Even if you’re taking a more relaxed approach and planning an elopement or getting hitched at home, decide on the date that you want it to happen. When you enquire, suppliers will let you know if they are available on your chosen date.
The early bird gets the...celebrant!
It’s important to have time to build a rapport with your celebrant. You can get to know each other in the run-up to your wedding and tap into their expertise to help with your wedding planning.
There's nothing worse than finally getting around to sending off an enquiry, only for the wedding supplier to tell you they’re already booked on your wedding date. Yikes!
Don’t delay. Tick something big off your wedding planning list today. Send off some enquiries and get those calls booked in with your dream suppliers.
Getting to know you
Building a connection with your celebrant is key. They’re not just there to read some words; they’re there to help you craft a narrative that tells your love story. So, take the time to meet up, chat over coffee, and share those little details that make your relationship special.
Celebrating YOU
Remember, your wedding is a celebration of your love story. Whether you’re going for a whimsical festival vibe or a spooky gothic theme, make sure every detail reflects who you are as a couple. Your celebrant will help bring that vision to life.
