# Australian Wedding Celebrants
> Australia's quality-rated directory of professional wedding celebrants

## About
Australian Wedding Celebrants is a directory that recognises and celebrates professional excellence in wedding celebrancy across Australia. Every celebrant listed is a Commonwealth authorised marriage celebrant on the Attorney-General's register. Our three-tier recognition system — Registered, Endorsed, and Luminary — is based entirely on verified professional credentials, not payments.

This is not an awards process. When celebrants prove through documented evidence that they have reached a level of professionalism and industry support beyond expectations, we award that tier and celebrate the achievement. Celebrants are always working to improve and move up the tiers.

## The Three Tiers

### Luminary (9 celebrants)
The highest recognition. Requirements: 7+ years registered, 18+ verified reviews from couples, 9+ verified reviews from fellow wedding vendors, industry recognition (awards, media, speaking), demonstrated ongoing professional development beyond legislative requirements, and a professional digital presence (own up-to-date website, prompt email replies, and a business email address on their own domain — not a free Hotmail or Gmail account). Meets all Endorsed requirements.

### Endorsed (11 celebrants)
Proven professionalism, endorsed by clients and industry. Requirements: 3+ years registered, current professional indemnity insurance, professional development beyond OPD requirements, 6+ verified reviews from couples and 3+ from fellow wedding vendors, and proof of 100+ ceremonies performed. Meets all Registered requirements.

### Registered (41 celebrants)
The foundation. Requirements: Commonwealth authorised marriage celebrant under the Marriage Act 1961, holds a Certificate IV in Celebrancy or equivalent qualification, with a complete directory profile including professional photo, description, website, and contact details.

## Why Tiers Matter for Couples
When choosing a celebrant, the tier badge tells you exactly what level of verified experience and professionalism to expect. A Luminary has proven exceptional commitment over 7+ years with extensive reviews and industry recognition. An Endorsed celebrant has demonstrated qualifications, insurance, and client satisfaction beyond the basics. Every Registered celebrant is a verified, legally authorised marriage celebrant.
