Registered marriage officer · KwaZulu-Natal
Modern, relaxed ceremonies written around your story, with every piece of the legal paperwork handled properly. Frank Booysen, ordained pastor and marriage officer since 1999.
In his own words
You’ve booked your venue, your photographer, your videographer and your DJ. You still need someone to actually marry you. Let’s have a coffee and plan a ceremony you’d genuinely want to sit through.
I conduct modern, contemporary ceremonies that you and your guests will enjoy. I don’t talk excessively. In my opinion it’s not about the marriage officer. It’s about the couple, and it’s 100% your day.
I tailor the message to each couple. We can take the moments you’ve shared and weave them into the ceremony, so what’s said up front actually sounds like you.
Diploma in Theology, 1995. Ordained 1999. Over 25 years of marrying people across KwaZulu-Natal.
How the day runs
A couple recently asked what’s actually in a ceremony, how long it takes, and what’s optional. Here’s the shape of it. Yours can differ at every step.
Most ceremonies run 25–35 minutes. Nothing here is compulsory except the vows, the register and the pronouncement.
Ceremonies
From the smallest chapel in South Africa to a sandbank on the North Coast.
What couples say
“I’ll never forget when you gently asked me, ‘Where should I stand so I don’t block your camera during the ceremony?’ In that moment I was stunned in the best way. Most of the time we are limited during ceremonies, but with you it was the complete opposite. That smile, your warmth, and the way your words touched both heart and soul left no one unmoved. We are proud to tell the world that we had the best pastor.”

“Thank you for the lovely way in which you conducted their wedding yesterday. It set the relaxed, friendly atmosphere for the rest of the day.”
Sue Watkin Mother of the bride, Talloula, Botha’s Hill
“From the time we got in contact with him he has gone above and beyond to ensure the wedding is as easy and painless as possible. He brings a relaxing atmosphere so the focus is on you and your spouse. If we could, we’d use him again!”
Julian & Kimberley Letard
“You did such an amazing job, and we couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect. Everyone complimented you and couldn’t stop saying how great you were. You’ll always have a very special place in our hearts.”
