Why Choose A Marriage Officer?

While some couples are already affiliated with a church or place of worship, and already have their trusted religious head lined up for the task, others don’t necessarily have such contacts and will now need to set out to find a great marriage officer to officiate their special day.
Non-denominational, Civil Union Marriage Officers will also marry individuals who have been married before, couples who both want their different and individual religions incorporated into their ceremony, and same-sex couples.

What Is A Marriage Officer Or Officiant?

Someone who is registered with Home Affairs and designated to legally marry South African citizens and/or non-South African citizens in South Africa.

Do I Need To Go To Home Affairs?

Luckily not! This forms part of my service for you. I go to Home Affairs and submit your marriage register for them to be able to update your new status on the Population System.

Info And Documents Required To Get Married In South Africa

Getting legally married can sometimes be very overwhelming and stressful. Allow me to assist you in streamlining this process, by guiding and helping you every step of the way.

Can A Marriage Officer Marry Anyone?

The South African constitution allows for officiants to marry couples under either the Marriage Act or the Civil Union Act. This is dependant on the designation of the Marriage Officer.

Meet Our Creative Christa Lizamore

Hi. My name is Christa and I’m a registered Marriage officer at the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa and can officiate your marriage at any venue of your choice.

As a vibrant young woman, I love to share in and add value, to the happiest day in people’s lives – your wedding day.

At my best, I strive to make the ceremony, YOUR ceremony, one of personal meaning and beautiful memories. Saying your vows and making promises to each other, is ultimately the core of your wedding day, thus, a light-hearted and meaningful ceremony, coupled with a dash of humour, creates the perfect balance.

Ceremonies are done in English and/or Afrikaans, offering religious & non-religious to any gender couple or culture.

Everything is taken care of, from the ceremony, to the legalities and registration with Home Affairs, ensuring that you can focus on YOUR special day.

I would love to meet with you and your fiancé to discuss the finer details of your wedding ceremony and how I can add the most value. This is your big day after all, and just like you, my wish for you, is for this day, to be everything you have always dreamed of and more.

Chester & Morne

Christa was the marriage officer at our wedding in April 2018. She did a fantastic job. Christa spent a few hours with us over coffee at our first meeting, getting to know us and really listening to everything we wanted in a ceremony. Christa is professional, confident, warm, kind and speaks with passion. Thank you for giving us the ceremony we always wanted and such a beautiful day.

Brandon and Daniella

It was an absolute pleasure to have Christa do our Wedding Ceremony. From the beginning she made us feel very comfortable and shared happy thoughts and stories with us. She is down to earth and very easy to work with, I would recommend her to anyone. The ceremony went smoothly and relaxed and her words were as we discussed in the beginning and very beautiful. She was dressed very classy and according to our wedding theme and looked very presentable. We liked her so much that we invited her and her partner to stay for the reception and share the rest of our happy day with us. Thank you very much again for everything! The pictures are very big, will it be okay if I whatsapp some to Christa?

Arno and Marique

Any couple looking for a marriage officer to officiate at their wedding understands the importance of finding someone that is able to provide the right amount of humour, empathy and gravity to the ceremony without becoming overbearing or losing the interest of the couple and their guests. It is a fine balance that is a challenge to most people, especially on such an important, special day when the couple wants everything to go just right. Christa was perfect for us. From our first meeting, there was a connection, she was genuinely interested in our story, understanding and empathic to our specific histories and still firm enough in her own beliefs and convictions to deliver a ceremony that resonated with us (and our guests) and will continue to do so for the remainder of our lives. Simply put Christa was a vital part of the day and her professionalism, courtesy and positivity made the ceremony a fantastic beginning to our wedding celebration and, more importantly, our marriage.

Leslie & Marco

Christa our marriage officer loves what she does. She is conscientious and always on the ball. From the time I emailed her enquiring about her services she was always prompt with her replies. She takes a personal interest in her clients. She's definitely a perfectionist. She gives her all in everything she does. I will recommend her to anyone who is thinking about getting married soon. A 5 star treatment is guaranteed. Thank you for making our day special Christa.
