Welcome to the After Party Page!

(I won’t lie. It’s not as fun as an actual after party.)

YOU DID IT!! You got married! Congrats again.

Below you’ll find a few useful links to some info that might come in handy - changing names, how to request a registered marriage certificate, things like that.

You’ll ALSO find one last (I promise), short questionnaire below, that will provide me with feedback so that I can keep improving as a celebrant.

Photos

I’d loooove to see photos from the wedding! If you have any that you’re happy to share with me, and for me to share to socials, feel free to send me a link to your album. Otherwise, I’ve made it super simple for you to share a select few. Just head to this link here to upload them to a private Google Drive folder.

How to Get Your Registered, or Legal, Marriage Certificate

But wait (you might be thinking)… didn’t you give us our marriage certificate at the wedding?! Ok, so the copy that I presented to you on the day is a Commonwealth marriage certificate that is referred to as the “party certificate” - this is a memento only, and sadly not recognised as an official marriage certificate. Many organisations won’t accept it as official proof of marriage. You don’t actually need to have a legal copy of your marriage certificate, but some people do want it.

After your marriage, I registered your marriage details with Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria. Once this has been processed, you will be able to request a copy of this, your “legal” or registered marriage certificate. You can request this certificate by clicking here. It will cost you a one off payment of $62.30 ($52.30 for the certificate and $10 postage).

Legally Changing Your Name

For all of this info, I’m going to send you straight to this page on the Births, Deaths and Marriages website rather than regurgitating it here.
