Alawi Sharaf has been on the Commonwealth register of marriage celebrants since December 2014. As an imam and community leader, he can conduct the legal marriage and the religious nikah together, which saves families arranging two officiants.
Besides weddings, he performs vow renewals, naming ceremonies for new children, commitment ceremonies and custom celebrations. Each ceremony is written around the couple’s story and family traditions, and he handles the paperwork from the Notice of Intended Marriage through to lodging after the day. A first consultation is free.
