James Maxfield
Introduction
LUX LIFE GLOBAL WEDDING AWARD WINNER – 2019 CELEBRANT OF THE YEAR
I am an Authorised Celebrant in Australia and i have a deep passion for creating and performing bespoke ceremonies for your perfect day. I mainly perform Marriage ceremonies but also design ceremonies for most events needing a celebrant. Fun, Witty and Heartfelt Ceremonies are my speciality.
When it comes to Wedding Ceremonies, i perform them for all types of couples. Love is one of the most amazing things we can share with another human and im so happy and grateful that we live in a world where everyone gets to stand up and make the commitment of marriage to their loved one.
I have always been an advoacte for the instituation of marriage and the commitment two people make to each other. Being able to solemnise the marriage between a couple who want to spend the rest of their life together is something that makes my heart sing.

James was the perfect Celebrant for our day with a mix of fun, sincerity, humour and care. There were lots of laughs from both of us and the wedding guests as well as beautiful and heartfelt moments. James was super organised, very personal, amazingly well-spoken, and we loved how James pieced our story together. It really felt like 'us'.
Sally and Timothy Dashwood 30/12/2017 Doltone House, SydneyJames was extremely professional and made us feel like the marriage ceremony was as important to him as it was to us. We had no idea where to start when it came to organising the ceremony and James made it an easy and personal experience. We felt safe in his hands. James Married us at the Renaissance Resort. He tailored the ceremony to our personalities and it ended up being so much more than we expected. Many guests commented on how moving the ceremony was, which is a testament to James and the work he put in. We're so happy he agreed to be our celebrant - it was such a beautiful ceremony.
Rowena and Joel Rasmuseen 12/07/2018 The Renaissance Resort, PhuketJames was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive to what we wanted the ceremony to be and offered advice and support when we needed it. On the day itself, he took all of the information we gave him and turned it into the most amazing story. He was wonderful.

Cris and Matt Walker 05/12/2020 Bells at KillcareJames was absolutely amazing! After having to postpone our wedding day 3 times due to Covid what should have been an incredibly stressful time James made such an easy and stress free experience. He was easy to work with throughout the entire process. He was highly professional and very personable. Helped guide us through any questions we had and was able to answer questions we didn’t even know to ask! All our guests were beyond impressed with how he blended humour, personal stories and touching moments to produce the most memorable ceremony. Would definitely recommend James to other couples! Thank you so much! Elisa & Chris
Elisa and Chris Witenden 07/11/2021 Seclusions MaroubraJames was such a wonderful celebrant! He crafted such a personal and beautiful ceremony that really suited us. We knew from our first meeting with James that he was what we were looking for, friendly and relaxed but very professional and knew what he was doing. We loved the way he turned our little surveys into a beautiful couple's story in our ceremony. As a non-religious couple, his choice of words were perfect for us and showed our strengths as a long-term couple. He was so understanding and supportive when we had to postpone our wedding this year. We very highly recommend James!! Thank you so much!
