01Sound familiar?
Stop re-typing the Notice of Intended Marriage
Couples enter their details once in their portal. CelebrantCentral generates the Notice of Intended Marriage, tracks identity checks, and keeps your Form 15 register audit-ready — no double entry, no template folders.
Stop juggling five tools
Leads, ceremonies, scripts, questionnaires, messages, files and calendar in a single place — instead of a photography CRM, a spreadsheet, email threads and a drawer of paper.
Stop chasing deposits
Quotes couples accept online, payment schedules tied to the ceremony date, Stripe & PayPal payments, and gentle reminders that pause themselves the moment the couple replies.
02The part nobody else does
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.

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.
05For your couples
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.
06The honest comparison
Today most celebrants bolt legal templates onto a photography CRM — or run a legals-only tool beside a spreadsheet. Here's what changes.

Why we built this
"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.
07Pricing that respects the quiet months
$2 a month for each active booked ceremony, capped at $40. Leads are free, and when a ceremony is done and closed, it stops billing. 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.

08Good questions · Updated July 2026
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.
