My name is Dianne Visser and my business is called Heart to Heart Weddings. I live and work in Umtentweni, on the KwaZulu Natal South Coast of South Africa. I am a Marriage Officiant, which provides me with a truly wonderful opportunity to work with couples at such a significant time in their lives. Knowing that they trust me to bring the perfect words to their ceremonies, to celebrate with them and for them, to walk beside them from our first meeting, right up until their wedding, day warms my heart, and I give thanks daily for the privilege.

My Passion is people, and one of my greatest desires was to become a Marriage Officiant. This wonderful work I have been doing for over 10 years. I am also a Civil Union Marriage Officiant, which means I officiate for same-sex couples.

When a couple approaches me to officiate their marriage, I like to sit and chat about their lives and their intentions that they are setting together for their life as a married couple. I believe we should choose the words that reflect what they want to create in their lives and marriage. I walk beside them, and I celebrate all the exciting moments and I am also there when things get stressful.

I have met and walked beside the most beautiful couples, (every couple is beautiful and every day is unique and special) and each one will live on in my heart. This work that I do is not really work. To stand in front of a couple, and bear witness to such a sacred moment, when a couple commits to walk beside each other, through good times and hard times is indeed an honour.

Not a dry eye in the room – the most amazing ceremony. Thank You so much.
People asked me how I knew you. They were convinced you and us two went way back. – Derrick and Shaun

Our tips: Book your marriage officiant

Whether you are having a religious or a secular ceremony, you will need someone to officiate your marriage. Whoever you choose, they will play a very important role on your big day and lead the whole ceremony. It will be important to have an officiant who matches well with you as a couple and with your views, who is comfortable with public speaking and preferably someone who has experience.

In a religious ceremony, you will be limited to the type of officiant you can choose, but not limited to a single person. With a secular ceremony, you will not be restricted to any particular officiant and will have other options available to you.

For a marriage to be recognised under South African law, the marriage officiant needs to sign the register indoors or under a roof at a venue/house with an address.

There are different sets of rules regarding international couples having a destination wedding – your marriage officer will be able to supply you with a list of documents needed to make your marriage legal in South Africa. It may be the case that you would need to acquire some of these documents from your local home affairs office, so be sure to connect with a marriage officiant early in your planning process.
