How many meetings must we have with our Marriage Celebrant?

The number of meetings is not stipulated and Marriage Celebrants differ in this regard.  However, from a reasonable perspective, you would need to meet a minimum of two times with your Marriage Celebrant.  The first meeting concerns the signing of the Notice of Intended Marriage, the provision of contact details etc and various other matters such as a preliminary exchange of ideas about the type of wedding you would like to have and what your Marriage Celebrant can provide.   The second of these meetings would be held quite close to your wedding date at a mutually convenient time.  At this meeting you will be required to sign a document referred to as Form 14 in which you declare that there is no legal impediment to your marriage to one another.  Apart from this, this second meeting allows you to perhaps refine your ceremony and/or any of its staging aspects as well as practicing certain parts of the ceremony (e.g. the exchange of vows and the exchange of rings), to pay the balance of the Marriage Celebrant's fee (if you have not already done so), and generally attend to any other outstanding matters.
