Have a Friend Lead Your Celebration

If you want a friend or family member to lead the personal part, the simplest option is usually this:

Do the $780 paperwork-only marriage with us first, then let your friend lead a separate celebration later.

Why couples do it this way

It means:

• the legal side is done properly
• your friend does not need to become a celebrant
• the celebration can be as personal as you want

What we do

We handle:

• the NOIM and legal paperwork
• the legal marriage itself
• the registration afterwards

What your friend can do

Your friend can then lead:

• vows
• readings
• stories
• ring exchange
• a celebration on another date

If you want the legal marriage and a full ceremony together

Then a professional celebrant leads the whole thing. Our $2,200 wedding ceremony package is a custom ceremony for your guests, and your friend can still do a reading or share a story as part of it.

For something smaller, the $1,800 elopement ceremony gives you vows and a personal ceremony for a small group.
