What’s the difference between a Religious Officiator and a Civil Celebrant?
Religious Officiator
A religious officiator is a person authorised by both the Australian Government and a particular religious group to conduct marriage ceremonies. The decision of which particular religious officiator you choose to conduct your marriage ceremony would usually be based on which religious group you are currently a member of, or which group your family has a history with.
Civil Celebrant
A civil celebrant is a person authorised by the Australian Government to conduct marriage ceremonies.
How do I book my Officiator?
For more information or to request availability of a particular Celebrant or Religious Officiator, please contact your wedding coordinator.
What happens if my Officiator needs to stay on the island overnight?
If your ceremony time requires that your celebrant or officiator will miss the last transfer back to the mainland they will be required to stay on the island overnight. In these cases, any accommodation and overnight costs will be payable by you.
