Marriage celebrants in Canberra / ACT

Life is full of unexpected turns, and I believe each step we take strengthens us. Every path we walk brings new experiences and I’m all about walking those paths with humour, heart, and a whole lot of love.

I became a Civil Marriage Celebrant because I wanted to give something meaningful back to my community—to be part of people’s happiest days and help them tell their story in a way that’s real, joyful, and uniquely them. Whether your wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I offer flexible service fees to suit your plans, big or small. My favourite part? Capturing your love story and sharing it with your favourite people on your Wedding Day.

But weddings aren’t the only milestone I celebrate. I’m also available for:

Naming Ceremonies

“Crossing of the Bridge” School Ceremonies

Special Occasions – MC

Funeral and Memorial Services

What makes me different? I’m also a stand-up comedian and hosted a local comedy room, so you can count on me to bring warmth, wit, and authenticity to every ceremony I deliver. Whether you’re after something traditional, light-hearted, or full of laughs, I tailor each event to reflect the personalities and values of the people at its heart.

Let’s make your special day unforgettable.
Contact me today, I’d love to hear your story.

The FUN Celebrant of choice on the South Coast;

For all the loving celebrations in your journey of life. Weddings, Renewals, Naming Ceremonies; as well as Memorials, Funerals, & more. I love what I do, and so will you!

Celebrants from around the world go to my webpage for ideas and information, but you can come directly to me :)

I am, of course, authorised by the Commonwealth Attorney General‘s Office as a Marriage Celebrant, which means I can marry any eligible couple, anywhere within Australia, but I do prefer the south coast where I live. I am also an accomplished Naming, Memorial & Funeral Celebrant with over 45 years of experience in public life, married for over 49 years, an accomplished public & motivational speaker, humanitarian, educator, poet, international traveller, & Master of Ceremonies (MC).

Awarded for community service, and even for Celebrancy by Celebrants and wedding vendors, many of whom subscribe to my monthly newsletter or search my webpage for tips, ideas and advice.

Caring, Considerate & determined that your ceremony will be uniquely yours, and enjoyed by all in attendance, especially you. All my Ceremonies are memorable, fulfilling, and enriching, while all my Weddings & Namings are well known for including all of the guests, and remembered as both beautiful and FUN, as they should be.

It is your ceremony. Let’s design it together and make it wonderful.

Congratulations! You’ve made the decision to get married. Now starts the task of thinking about your ceremony and choosing a celebrant.

I am a celebrant who believes that your wedding should be just that – YOURS. I would be honoured to be part of your special day and will listen to you and your story, so that together we can tailor a ceremony for you, whether it is short and simple, fun or serious, modern or traditional. You can choose from a range of readings, rituals, vows and other options, or I can assist you to write your own. As a former librarian, teacher and storyteller, words are my passion. I will listen to yours and together we can craft a unique ceremony for you to remember and enjoy. I will take care of all the compulsory and legal parts.

I offer an obligation-free first meeting at my home or yours, to get to know each other and to work out some options available to you.

Firstly, Congratulations.
If you’re here, it means you have probably just been proposed to. What an exciting time that is for both of you.

I am really happy to celebrate your special day with you, exactly the way you’ve always dreamed it would be.

I’m also here to help you design your vows with you or for you, create your Love Story and help with all the extras you’d love to include in your day.

My aim is for you to walk away from your day, just as elated as you were when you were first proposed to.

Together, we will create your dream Wedding, making it a reality.

For my pricing and packages I offer, please phone, email or get in touch via my socials.

I have a range of packages to suit most budgets, and I am so worth you making contact.

Much Love,

Leanne

Oh, hey! I’m Jacqua. Since 2016, I’ve been a non-traditional marriage celebrant. I’ve worked with over 500 couples and have plenty of incredible stories to tell. Based in Wollongong, you’ll mostly find me on the South Coast, Sydney and the Southern Highlands.

When I’m not being a celebrant, I’m an ocean-swimming wanderer who loves nothing more than planning my next adventure (or yours). I’ve travelled throughout Australia, over 60 other countries and still dreaming of more!

I tend to marry couples who are unconventional and a little quirky – lovers who want a creative and inclusive wedding that reflects their distinct sense of style.

My absolute favourite thing about being a celebrant is getting to know you. I love spending time with you so I can share your unique story and fun insights with your family and friends. Ultimately, I’m here to create meaningful moments you’ll treasure forever.

Eloping? Getting hitched away from home? I’m also happy to travel around NSW, within Australia and overseas too. I’m free to roam!

I feel we’ll be a good fit if you love a laugh, you’re a bit left of centre, you believe the ceremony is as important as the party, you rather a meaningful ceremony and you want a seamless lead-up and stress-free event.

Ready to start planning? Fantastic, let’s do this!

I am a licensed professional celebrant based on the NSW South Coast, I am currently living in Shell Cove which is not far from Wollongong, Kiama, Gerringong, Berry, Nowra, Kangaroo Valley, Jervis Bay, Mollymook & the southern highlands.  My travels as a celebrant take me near and far and you could say that every wedding is like a new adventure.  I love being a wedding celebrant and love what it brings to my life.   I am passionate that all my ceremonies are personal no matter the size of the wedding, whatever or wherever the occasion; be a beach, boho, country or a classic style wedding.  Each wedding should be a truly individual meaningful memory.   I am available for weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, baby namings and funerals.  30 years ago I created a dance school. I understand the value in attention to detail, confidence and building rapport to achieve a result. I became a celebrant because I want to help connect love amongst one another, to help family cherish the moments and the ones they hold dear and create a service that defines a moment in time. I love to have a laugh, share some happy tears but most importantly provide a professional service. I love, love, and would love to share that with you as you marry the person of your dreams.

Hey there! I’m Mandi, and I am so glad you’ve already come this far in your search for a celebrant that is going to be just right for your special day. I want your ceremony to reflect your story in whatever creative, unconventional, fun way that you want it to be told, so let’s co-create the wedding that will have your guests laughing one minute and crying the next!

I am a mother of four children (okay, my youngest is 19 so maybe not children anymore), an adventure-seeker, animal lover and travel enthusiast. I am based on the beautiful South Coast of NSW, but love a location wedding as much as the next person; so bring on whatever secret hideaway, tropical paradise, mountain retreat you have fallen in love with. I have spent my career journeying through all areas of the events space; however weddings- have me hooked! There is something pretty cool about encouraging couples to think outside the box, create their own idea of what a wedding looks like and then stand up there with them at one of the biggest moments of their lives.

A celebrant is an integral part of your wedding day, so it is important to make sure you choose someone who you feel will support your ideas from the get-go! We can meet up or have a wine over a skype chat if you want to see if we share the same “feel-good” vibes! I guarantee you I will bring a whole heap of energy and enthusiasm in order to make this a day you will never forget.

If you think we might be a good match, give me a call or visit my website for more information on my pricing and packages.

Hi, I’m Jane. An Australian Civil Marriage Celebrant, MC, and Performer who believes every ceremony should feel real, relaxed, and full of heart. With a background in performing arts and community care, I bring calm, connection, and a little magic to every moment — from intimate vows to joyful celebrations.

I offer multilingual hosting in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, creating a seamless and inclusive experience for couples and families from different cultural backgrounds.

Let’s make your “I do” truly unforgettable.

Whether it be a small intimate wedding, or a large wedding with all the trimmings.

I work with you to create ceremonies that reflect who you are as an individual, and as a couple or family.

Your Ceremony will represent your hopes and dreams and be a day not only you remember, but one your family and friends will also remember with fondness.

I offer a range of samples to get you started, or we can tailor a ceremony for you from scratch, turning your love story into a ceremony.

I also have a selection of vows, poems and readings to help your creativity flow.

Congrats!! You are getting married. Let the fun begin.

My background is in media, radio, TV and music. I have spent a big part of my career as a presenter at triple j, Unearthed, Double J and ABC Radio Sydney.
I love radio and the connection with the listeners. So much so, I was talking about getting a Celebrants Licence for years, and made it reality. In 2016 I was appointed with the Attorney Generals Department.

I have married hundreds of amazing couples over the years and nothing makes me happier than a great day for you both. No dramas and complete precise marriage paperwork once I register your marriage.

Talking to people is one of my favourite things, so why not help you create the best vibe for your wedding day, commitment ceremony, renewal of vows, baby naming, pet welcoming (yes I am a big dog fan).

I love weddings and ceremonies of occasions as they bring all your friends and family together at once. How cool is that? It is your day as a couple and I help you create a ceremony you are happy with, then the party begins.

I am so delighted the Marriage Laws changed in 2017, and all couples are free to marry the one they love.

I travel all over Australia and you will often find me in Sydney, Southern Highlands and even the Nations Capital.

Here’s to a wonderful day for you and the journey to marriage.

~ Honouring your special moments ~

I have been married for over forty years and a very proud mum of three beautiful (adult) children.  Home is the beautiful snowy mountains of NSW, however I still travel regularly to the south coast – I enjoy having a foot in the mountains (snow) and in the sea (sand).  I also ski too for your on snow ceremony.
I became a civil marriage celebrant in 2018 after a long career in customer service, mediation and dispute resolution.  I also hold a Certificate IV in Customer Contact and am a Justice of the Peace.  I wished to have a different interaction with members of my community, so time for a career change and a sea/mountain change – I have never looked back and truly love being a Celebrant.

It is an honour to meet couples, listen to their unique story, their hopes and dreams.  I strive to create a memorable and personal ceremony, incorporating their needs and wishes.  Whether you wish to have a small intimate ceremony with just yourselves, witnesses and me … or you wish to have a fully blown extravaganza, I will be with you all the way.  I thoroughly enjoy working with couples and families during such an important time – and calming their nerves sometimes too.  So many memorable occasions and wonderful people I have had the pleasure to meet.

As a full time Celebrant, I am available for ceremonies weekdays, evenings and of course on the weekend.  I am happy to drive and travel to meet the needs and locations of my couples – what a really great country we have to explore.  I look forward to meeting you!
