Hi all

My fiance and I are planning a wedding in Phu Quoc, Vietnam in April 2014. Does anyone know any ex-pat or English speaking celebrants who would be willing conduct the ceremony? We are willing to cover travel costs from mainland Vietnam to the island.

Thanks!
Elliot

I can't help you with a celebrant's details, but if you do find one he/she cannot perform a legal marriage in Vietnam, merely perform a ceremony. As far as I am aware, you may only marry legally in Vietnam if one of the partners is a Vietnamese citizen. If one of you is a Vietnamese citizen, you will be please to know that the procedures and now much easier than before and processing takes only one month.

Thanks for that, sorry I should have mentioned that it will be just for conducting the ceremony. We plan on getting legally married in Australia before we come to Vietnam, so it is just someone to make sure the ceremony goes smoothly.

An Australian celebrant lives in Nha Trang and I'll try and contact her through a friend.

Hi there,

For future reference, If you are looking for a wedding celebrant...

There is a very good celebrant based in Hoi An / Danang called Peter Mahomet. He has done over 30 weddings all over Vietnam (Hanoi, HCMC, Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, more...) and has received excellent feedback from all his newly weds :)

See him highlighted in the Mott Visuals website for "recommended celebrant in central Vietnam". He is also on face book.
