Thanks Bride Online Blog!
There are some more very important questions you should ask the celebrant:
(1) Are you insured for public liability and professional indemnity? If not, why not?
(2) Does he/she have a PA system? If yes, is it a cheap karaoke system or genuine professional system the guests WILL hear?
(3) Is the celebrant a member of a recognised celebrant’s professional association such as the AMC or AFCC? If not how does she/he keep up to date with regulation changes or resolve difficult issues even the celebrant can’t answer?
(4) Is the celebrant a full-time professional or a “weekend warrior”? If you seek experience this is a vital question.
