Real Weddings - Laura & Ben

Laura & Ben were married at Bidja Estate in Ourimbah, Central Coast. Here’s what they had to say about their big day.

How did you meet? We met at mutual friend's Birthday BBQ (that turned into a late night out!) We chatted the whole time and the rest is history.

What was the first thing you decided on as a couple when arranging your big day? That we wanted to be as intimate and authentic as possible.

What wedding vibe were you after? Relaxed but sophisticated and FUN.

How did you choose your outfits? A bit of good old online inspo and a 'gut' feeling when it came to trying them on.

How did you decide on your venue? As soon as we drove down the driveway to Bidja Estate we knew it was the place for us. A friend of ours got married there years ago and it matched the vibe we were after.

What To Look For When Choosing A Marriage Celebrant

Choosing a marriage celebrant is a pivotal decision in the wedding planning process. They play a central role in creating the ceremony that marks your union. The right celebrant can bring your vision to life, create the vibe you’re looking for, make the ceremony memorable (for all the right reasons), engage your guests, liaise with your vendors, make the whole process of getting married effortless and enjoyable. The wrong choice can lead to a ceremony that feels less personal, and meaningful, a ceremony that feels a bit copy and paste.

Here’s a guide to help you find the perfect marriage celebrant for your special day:

1. Qualifications and Credentials

 **Certification** Ensure the celebrant is legally authorised to perform weddings which means they should be registered with the Attorney General. Check their credentials at https://marriage.ag.gov.au/commonwealthcelebrants/all

Changing Your Name

Changing Your Name

Sometimes couples want to change their names, once they’re married.

If you do want to, there’s just a couple of things to be aware of:

- 1. There is no automatic name change in Australia, and

- 2. There is no central point on contact to change your name.

If you want to change your surname, you will need to take your official marriage certificate (the one that Birth

Deaths and Marriages can send to you, if you request it once married) to all the places you wish to

change your name.

This means you have to change your name at each Government Agency and Private Institution you wish to change your name at. Yes it’s a bit of a long winded process!

How did you meet? Tinder!!! Haha

What was the first thing you decided on as a couple when arranging your big day? We both agreed that we wanted something on the smaller side - no interest in having a big "circus" wedding!

What wedding vibe were you after? Intimate, chill, fun!

How did you decide on your venue? We had looked at one or two other venues before we found Gracelands. One of them was absolutely stunning, but very expensive and more suitable for a large wedding. The other was less than impressive. I loved Gracelands instantly, it was perfect for what we wanted. Joel was skeptical at first, he thought it was strange that a wedding venue was tucked away in between a bunch of shops. He came around though, and we both loved everything about it. The food was amazing, the decor was simple and gorgeous and the staff were extremely helpful!
