Generally speaking, persons who are already legally married to each other cannot go through a further form or ceremony of marriage to each other, and it is an offence for an authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant to purport to solemnize such a marriage.

A re-affirmation ceremony allows you to re-affirm your original marriage vows, promises and commitment to each other. Re-affirmation ceremonies can be celebrated for various reasons:

Simply because you want to re-affirm your love and commitment for each other.

To celebrate a special wedding anniversary.

Perhaps you were married overseas, or interstate, and you want your immediate family and friends to be a part of your special occasion.

Re-affirmation ceremonies can be composed by the Marriage Celebrant or the couple themselves, there is no legal obligations for re-affirmation except that the Celebrant must warn couples that this is not a Marriage Ceremony as such.

A t the conclusion of the ceremony you will be presented with a Re-affirmation Certificate and a copy of the ceremony together with a complimentary bottle of Chardonnnay Pinot Noir to help celebrate your special occasion..
