Weddings at GWAC

At GWAC, we are delighted to explore with you the possibility of making your wedding day a truly memorable and meaningful occasion.

We understand that choosing a celebrant and venue is just one of many important decisions you’ll face, along with shaping the content of your ceremony. As a Christian community, GWAC is committed to supporting couples in this significant transition to married life. We will work with you to create a service that is welcoming to your guests, meaningful to your families, and honouring to God.

The wedding process includes:

  1. Signing an Intent to Marry form at least one month before the wedding date.
  2. Completing a Marriage Preparation Course through Relationships Australia.
  3. Preparing the details of the Marriage Service.

The cost of the service varies depending on the plans for your celebration. For details about fees, please contact Ashish Roy (Operations Manager) on 9560 7494 (ext. 2).

Together with the Church Minister, you will review the basic service structure and decide on any additional elements you may wish to include or adapt. Our marriage service follows the Anglican Church of Australia tradition, and therefore will always include the consents, vows, a Bible reading and reflection, and prayers for the couple. With the approval of the Lead Minister or their Associate, you may also add other elements that reflect your hopes for the day.

Important

  • You will need to appoint two people over the age of 18 to be your official witnesses. They will sign the register and certificates. They can be either male or female.
  • The wedding service will take from forty minutes to one hour depending on the order finalised.
  • If you have been divorced, then in accordance to the Anglican Church policy, you will need to obtain permission from our Bishop for your wedding at GWAC.

Off-site Weddings

Getting married in a location other than GWAC is possible under certain circumstances, pending approval of regional Bishop and others as necessary.

Please discuss your request with the Minister prior to booking your wedding. The fee for a service and associated preparations at a location other than GWAC is $400, provided your service is held within 30 minutes’ drive of Glen Waverley. This fee covers the consultation and preparation of your service, but excludes the Marriage Preparation Course.
