A Renewal of Vows is a beautiful way for couples to reaffirm their love and commitment—whether you’ve been married for one year or fifty. It’s not about the legalities. It’s about the journey you’ve taken together and the promises you continue to honour.
As a celebrant, I often get asked, “Is a vow renewal like a real wedding? Is it more casual? Do we need to prepare anything?”
Let me walk you through what a vow renewal actually involves—and how it compares to a legal wedding ceremony.
A Renewal of Vows is a non-legally binding ceremony where a married couple reaffirms their vows and celebrates their relationship. There are no legal documents involved, and no registration with Births, Deaths and Marriages.
You may choose to renew your vows for many reasons, such as:
There are no rules—just heart.
The main difference between a vow renewal and a legal marriage ceremony is this:
💡 A legal wedding requires official documentation—like the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM), declaration forms, and marriage certificates.
🕊 A vow renewal does not involve any legal paperwork.
That said, the ceremony planning process is almost identical.
I still take the time to:
Just like a legal wedding, a vow renewal deserves intention, care, and professional guidance.
Since a vow renewal doesn’t involve legal paperwork or registration, some people assume it should cost significantly less. But the truth is:
✨ Because the ceremony itself is still carefully planned, written, and delivered with the same time, heart, and professionalism, the cost of a vow renewal is often very similar to that of a legal wedding ceremony.
As your celebrant, I invest the same time into understanding your love story, crafting the perfect ceremony, and delivering it in a way that feels deeply personal and memorable—whether it’s a first “I do” or a second one.
A vow renewal is not a “lesser” ceremony. It’s a celebration of growth, resilience, and enduring love.
Whether you’re planning something intimate in your backyard or a big gathering with your family and friends, I’d be honoured to help you create a ceremony that feels just as meaningful as your wedding day—maybe even more so.
If you're thinking about renewing your vows and want a celebrant who will take the time to tell your story with warmth and care, I’d love to hear from you.

One of the great things about getting married in Australia is how flexible it can be. You’re not limited to a courthouse or a traditional venue—you’ve got options. Lots of them!
But couples often ask: “Are there any legal limits on where we can get married?” Let’s clear that up together.
在澳大利亚结婚的一个很大优势是——选择非常灵活。你并不局限于法院或传统场地，你可以选择很多特别又有意义的地方。
那新人们常问的一个问题是：“结婚有没有场地方面的法律限制？” 我来为你解答！
Not all wedding ceremonies are created equal—some are legal, and some are symbolic. So, what’s the difference? And how do you know which one is right for you?
并不是所有婚礼都具有法律效力——有些是法律婚礼，有些则是象征性的仪式婚礼。那么它们之间到底有什么不同？你又该如何选择最适合你们的方式呢？
It’s one of the most common questions couples ask me—“Do we really need to do a rehearsal?”
The short answer is: you don’t have to, but it can make a huge difference—especially if you’re the type of person who likes to feel prepared, calm, and confident walking into your big day.
很多新人都会问我：“我们真的需要彩排吗？”
简单来说：不是必须的，但如果你希望在婚礼当天能够从容自如、心里有底，那彩排婚礼绝对是值得考虑的一项服务。
