Stop paying for software you don't use
A lead costs nothing. Once a couple books, it's $2 + GST a month for that ceremony — capped at $40 + GST, however many you run. Six ceremonies a year or sixty: you're never paying for a system sized for someone else's business. Free during beta.
Stop typing the same details twice
A couple's details go in once — and flow through to the Notice of Intended Marriage, the identity checklist and your Form 15 register automatically. No more copying the same name, date and address into a fresh form every time the paperwork asks for it again.
Stop switching between apps
Leads, ceremonies, scripts, vows, invoicing, messages, files and your calendar — all under one roof, not spread across a spreadsheet, a photography CRM, a folder of PDFs and a dozen email threads.
Stop working two jobs
Every ceremony moves through its own pipeline — legal steps, script, payments and questionnaires tracked automatically stage by stage, with deadlines flagged before they're urgent. You stop being the one holding every date in your head, and start actually running the business you built.
Generic CRMs were built for photographers. CelebrantCentral was built around the Marriage Act — so the paperwork that can put your registration at risk is generated, tracked and time-stamped for you.
A guided flow your couples complete in their portal. You review, approve, and lodge a BDM-compliant PDF — with due-date alerts so the one-month notice never sneaks up on you.
Every pre-printed certificate tracked by serial number — used, transferred or destroyed — exactly as Paragraph 73(5) requires. Low-stock alerts, printer calibration for the pre-printed paper, and a one-click CSV record of use.
Identity confirmation, brochure acknowledgement and signed agreements — every legal gate logged with who, what and when, ready for any audit.
Legal deadlines are marked critical — they surface on your dashboard and the couple's portal no matter what, while low-priority noise stays filtered out.
Our Chrome extension fills state BDM portal forms straight from your ceremony data. The most tedious hour of every wedding, done in minutes. WA is live now — more states rolling out toward launch.
EXCLUSIVE TO CELEBRANTCENTRALFree · 2 printable pages
Take the free Notice of Intended Marriage & Form 15 checklist — every date, document and signature on two printable pages.
Get the free checklistSeven short looks at the real product — the same thread a ceremony actually runs on.
The enquiry
A couple fills in your enquiry form and lands with your ceremonies — tagged, dated, source recorded. You can see where every enquiry came from, and which ones became weddings.
The reply
Open the lead, pick your template — her details already in it. Read it, send it. The words still yours, and you never left the record.
The quote
Molly opens a quote that’s all your brand, not a bare attachment. You tweak the line items, you send it, and the record keeps up.
The booking
The quote is accepted — and the workspace, the countdown and an invoice drafted from your quote are simply there. You won the booking. The software just filed it.
The portal
You decide who gets in, when, and what they see. The couple gets one tidy window; you keep the record.
The legals
Angus fills in his own details, the Notice of Intended Marriage preview updates as he types, and his answers reach your Notice when he saves. You review and submit.
The pipeline
Every ceremony you book comes with a dated plan attached — and you can see where you are. Tick one off and watch the number move.
Fifteen capability areas. One login. One price. Here's the short version.
Templated, multi-stage workflows per ceremony type — emails that send on schedule, tasks that wait for dependencies, and follow-ups smart enough to pause when the couple replies.
Branded quotes accepted online, payment schedules split around your ceremony date, and every invoice GST-correct — with BAS figures (G1, 1A, 1B) ready for the ATO.
Embeddable enquiry forms, Easy Weddings auto-import every 15 minutes with duplicate detection, and a pipeline showing exactly where every couple sits.
Ceremony-scoped threads — shared with the couple or private with one partner. Email from your own Gmail or domain.
Ceremonies and deadlines sync to Google Calendar; planning sessions come with Meet links and invites, automatically.
Forms with conditional logic gather the couple's story, then feed your ceremony scripts, vows and readings.
Bank statement import with duplicate detection, expense categories, profit & loss by ceremony type. Your accountant will hug you.
Logo, colours and signature on every quote, email and portal page. Couples see your business, not ours. Vendors too — your whole supplier book, organised.
Every couple gets a warm, branded home for their ceremony — a countdown, a guided to-do journey, and one obvious next step. They feel looked after; you stop answering "what do we do next?" emails.

"I've married hundreds of couples and trained a lot of celebrants. Every one of us knew the same Tuesday night — ceremonies done, NOIMs still to re-type, a CRM built for photographers that had never heard of a Form 15. We built CelebrantCentral because the tool we needed didn't exist. Now it does."
"I'm the business half of this pair. My job was simple to say and hard to build: one home for leads, legals, invoices and GST — priced the way a celebrant's year actually works. $2 + GST a month while a ceremony is active. Nothing when it isn't."
Payments, calendar, email and lead sources — connected in minutes.
$2 a month for each active booked ceremony, capped at $40. Leads are free, and a ceremony stops billing the moment it's done and closed — so your quiet months bill like quiet months. No tiers, no seats, no lock-in; every feature included, always.
All prices on this page exclude GST.
$12 + GST /month
Capped · unlimited from hereA photography CRM can cost $24–90+ a month depending on the tier — and the cheaper rate usually means paying the whole year upfront, booked or not.
A typical wedding — six months from booking to "I do" — costs about $12 in software, total. Against an $800 ceremony fee, that's 1.5%. One line item, fully deductible.

Founding offer: the first 100 paid signups lock founding pricing for life
Each ceremony that's actively in planning costs $2 + GST per month — and it only starts billing once the couple books. Leads and enquiries are completely free, however many you're juggling. Book a wedding in March, marry the couple in September, close it — that ceremony cost you about $12 + GST across its whole life. You're never billed for leads, closed ceremonies, or an empty calendar.
$40 + GST a month, full stop. The cap kicks in at 20 active ceremonies — everything beyond that is free. Big season, small bill.
If nothing's actively in planning, you pay nothing — and your data, templates and history stay exactly where you left them. Your costs follow your bookings, never the other way around.
No. CelebrantCentral is free during beta — every feature included, no payment details required. You'll only enter a card if you decide to stay.
Yes — and we'll do the heavy lifting. Free migration of your existing couples, ceremonies and templates is included, plus a 1-on-1 onboarding session to set up your workflows.
CelebrantCentral generates BDM-compliant Notice of Intended Marriage documents, keeps your Form 15 record of use per Paragraph 73(5) of the Marriage Regulations 2017, and time-stamps identity confirmations and acknowledgements. You remain the authorised celebrant — we just make the paperwork fast and audit-ready.
WA is live now, with more states rolling out toward launch. Everything else — your Notice of Intended Marriage paperwork, the Form 15 register, the whole workflow — works Australia-wide today.
Never. Cancel anytime and export your data whenever you like. We'd rather keep you with a great product than a contract.
