Choosing the right celebrant for you can be a challenge.

There are a multitude of good celebrants - the trick is to find one who is compatible with you and your partner.

Why not keep this checklist handy when ringing around?

• Does the celebrant customise, or write original ceremonies, or is there limited choice?
• Do they encourage couples and guests to think creatively?
• Are they open to new ideas?
• What do their charges include?
• What do their charges not include?
• How many weddings do they do a day?
• Do they have a sound system so guests can be sure of hearing the ceremony?

These are just a few hints for helping you make the right decision.
