Are you looking to get married urgently and need help applying for a Shortening of Time with Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria? I’m Sharon Osman, an experienced and compassionate Melbourne Celebrant who has been supporting couples through all kinds of wedding journeys for over 15 years. Whether you’re facing personal, unexpected travel situation or medical circumstances that require an expedited wedding date, or whether you have planned your wedding unaware of the one month’s notice, I’m here to guide you with care, clarity, and professionalism.
The special circumstances for shortening the notice period. These are as follows:
Employment-related or other travel commitments
Wedding or celebration arrangements
Medical reasons
Legal proceedings
An error in giving notice.
As a Melbourne Celebrant experienced with shortening of Time, I’ve helped countless couples navigate the application process successfully. I understand that life can present unexpected challenges — from family illness, travel plans or other compassionate circumstances where time is of the essence. That’s why I offer more than just a service — I offer full support, understanding, compassion, and experience during what can be a stressful and emotional time.
In Victoria, there is a legal requirement of one month’s notice before a couple can marry. However, if you need to marry sooner, you can apply for a Shortening of Time — but there are limited circumstances under which this can be granted. I provide all the necessary information and a personalised Celebrant Letter, one of the key documents needed to support your shortening of time application to Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria (BDM).
From the moment you contact me, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the process:
• I help you complete and lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM)
• I provide a professionally written, legally required letter explaining your situation
• I advise on what documents and supporting evidence you’ll need to provide to BDM Victoria
• I stay in touch throughout the process and am ready to conduct your ceremony as soon as approval is granted.
I also offer full understanding, empathy and if necessary travel to destinations where it’s convenient to marry
