Melbourne Wedding Celebrant

As your Melbourne Wedding Celebrant it is my absolute privilege to be entrusted with creating a beautiful ceremony for what is, for many people, the most important life milestone they’ve celebrated so far. I feel very lucky and touched that so many couples have put this responsibility in my hands, and I work hard to ensure that the ceremony I design for them is a reflection of who they are, both as individuals and as a couple. It’s very rare these days to see the kind of raw emotion that we see at weddings, and I love it when my couples and their guests laugh and cry their way through my ceremonies!

The couples I work with are all different ages, genders (all LGBTQIA+ relationships welcome!), shapes and sizes, but the one thing they have in common is that they all value their wedding ceremony as the beginning of their marriage. They want to celebrate this important transitional event with their families and friends through a ceremony that is uniquely theirs. If that sounds like you, please read on!

I provide you with a comprehensive ceremony builder booklet with lots of ideas and samples for things you might want to include in your ceremony. I’m completely open to whatever traditional or whacky ideas you would like to incorporate, and I am good enough that I can manage anything you throw at me. I am above all organised and efficient, so you don’t have to worry about chasing me up or reminding me to book your rehearsal – I’m all over it!

I’m highly likely to be just as excited (if not more so at times!) as you are about your wedding day. However, as much as I love to have fun on the day, I am also across every little detail. I want you to be able to enjoy your ceremony and relax completely knowing that I have it all in hand.

I have an immense passion for the performing arts and all pop culture, and would be delighted to incorporate quotes, readings, music or snippets from films, music, shows, or TV into your ceremony if you wish!

So if you’re looking for an award-winning, vivacious, professional Marriage Celebrant, or information about my Marriage Celebrant Fees please get in touch with me today!

(Please note I don’t do weddings on the beach, they’re just not my thing. If you’d like to hold your wedding on the beach, I recommend you contact Shannon Jeans – she loves beach weddings!)
