About Dena D'Antone

Ready to say “I do” your way? Your love story deserves a ceremony as unique as you are. Whether you're dreaming of simple intimate vows or celebrating with everyone you love, I’ll help create those relaxed, heartfelt, magical moments where your personalities shine and your guests feel the magic of the genuine connection you share.

​The relaxed and smooth running of your big day is as important to me as it is to you.
I am a strong and inclusive communicator, with over fifteen years of experience in Leadership roles. I also have extensive experience as a public speaker, so being in front of a crowd is something I love.
We will work together to organise every element perfectly, changing things along the way as needed. You will find me calm, flexible, responsive, organised and professional.
You might like your ceremony to be relaxed, heartfelt, romantic, modern, traditional. Whatever you choose, we can create your perfect day together. There will be funny moments and laughs along the way - guaranteed. You can also be assured that my prices are competitively set, making me an affordable option.
From the first conversation to the final “I do”, I’ll bring warmth, care and a little fun to creating a ceremony that feels right for you.
I am based in South Western Sydney, but travel to all areas of Sydney and outer areas of Sydney such as Wollongong.

Dena, I truly couldn’t recommend you highly enough. From start to finish, you were an absolute dream to work with. You captured our story with so much love and intention. It felt like you truly knew us. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever. 🤍

Mackenzie LOXTON Denham Court, 2565 / 19th September, 2026

I wanted to share a bit about our experience planning a wedding and why having Dena as our celebrant was such a game-changer. As anyone who’s been through it knows, planning a wedding is a whirlwind of excitement, joy, and—let’s be honest—a fair bit of stress! If you’re looking to take some of that stress off your plate, I can’t recommend Dena enough. From the very start, Dena stood out as an incredibly kind and genuinely caring person. She didn’t just guide us through the logistics; she took the time to really get to know both of us on a personal level. This wasn’t just about ticking boxes for her—it was about truly connecting with us as a couple. The rapport we built together made all the difference on the big day. When the moment came, it honestly felt as if we were being married by someone who had known us for years, not just our celebrant. Every step leading up to the wedding was smoother and more meaningful because of Dena’s involvement. She made sure everything was seamless and helped us feel at ease, so we could focus on celebrating instead of stressing. If you want your wedding ceremony to feel personal, heartfelt, and effortlessly coordinated, Dena is absolutely the one you want by your side. Wishing you all the best as you plan your special day!

Michelle Grasso Varroville, 2566 / 28th February, 2026

Dena provided us an amazing wedding service. Her script was beautifully polished and presented well including some kind mentions in Japanese as well as some of guests did not understand English. She made our ceremony very memorable from start to finish. She was kind and considerate and we thank her for her hard work and quick responses during the journey!

Congratulations you’re engaged!

While getting married is a serious commitment, it doesn’t mean that your day and ceremony has to be as well. It should include excitement, happiness, fun, laughter and maybe throw in a few happy tears as well – a perfect mixture of emotions that creates a beautiful lifetime memory.

Together let’s have fun creating your special ceremony as I take the time to get to know you both – how you met, how your friendship blossomed into love and what are some of the special moments you have shared that you can both fondly recall – all of which I will include into your ceremony.

So whether you are having a formal/elegant wedding, or a more casual/relaxed event or opting for a simple elopement style wedding, the ceremony I write for you will be written to suit.

How can I write a ceremony that is “exclusively yours”?  Call me and let’s catch up for a ‘no obligation’ appointment.
