BESPOKE MARRIAGES FOR MODERN LOVERS

Hello there, I’m Genene.
I craft bespoke marriages for modern lovers! Whether you fancy celebrating your wedding day with a cast of hundreds, an intimate occasion or a romantic destination elopement, with me, your marriage ceremony and the preparations will be stress-free, fun and memorable for all the right reasons!

All the right energy.
My ceremonies reflect my authentic self. Penned to portray your love through the perfect balance of sincerity, humour and flair, your marriage ceremony will be delivered with warmth and create an atmosphere for jubilant festivity. I guarantee your ceremony will be sans lonnnnng readings, cheesy references or any hint of a stand-up comedy show.

All love is welcome.
Every letter of the alphabet and colour of the rainbow is perfect with me. I’ll happily collaborate with you on a level that suits you, when crafting a ceremony that resonates with you, expresses your love and, most importantly, makes your hearts sing!

Love Letters.
“You went above and beyond as our Celebrant, and the ceremony was flawless.” Bianca & Matt
“Our ceremony and ‘love story’ were so beautifully written and were a true reflection of us.” Maddie & Michael
“Thank you Genene, for not only delivering our ceremony so beautifully but for being such a calm and reassuring presence in our wedding preparations.” Eden & Dan

Say hello.
If you’re in love and ready to tell the world, I’d love to hear from you.
No hard sell, no fuss. Just a relaxed chat over a beverage.

“SO IMPECCABLE ORGANISED, APPROACHABLE, HELPFUL AND GIFTED WITH WORDS" Shaun and I just wanted to say from the bottom of our hearts the biggest THANK YOU for the most heartfelt ceremony we could have dreamed of. Not only us but our family and friends were laughing and crying. We were all enthralled in every minute of what you put together. There was not a dry eye in the room (I know because I looked for one to make me stop crying!) The men who ‘do not cry’ had tears. Our love story was written so beautifully – both equally touching and witty. Our family and friends spoke so highly of the ceremony in full. The ceremony set the tone for the most intimate day of belly laughter and tears (alongside impeccable food and cocktails). Our day was crowned ‘hands down’ everyone’s favourite wedding. I knew from the beginning you were the right celebrant for us. So impeccably organised, approachable, helpful… as well as gifted with words. The whole experience was easy and seamless. We will not be a return customer, but we will always recommend you! Mr and Mrs Atkins xx

“MORE WEDDINGS SHOULD BE LIKE THAT! “ It was such a beautiful and perfect day for us; thank you for your poise, class, and professionalism. All of our guests commented on how great the ceremony was and how more weddings should be like that. By all accounts, a massive success. Thank you! George & Kathleen

George & Kathleen Fortitude Valley / 12/03/2023

"THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY THAT YOU CRAFTED FOR ADAM AND I" You were able to perfectly capture our love and the essence of our little family in your love story and you were a true professional on the day! We received so many compliments from our family and friends on your work!

Alena & Adam Casa Campana / 12/03/2023

"GENENE DID AN AMAZING JOB FOR OUR WEDDING!" Genene is an incredible celebrant who made our day so special. She is thorough, quick to respond to questions and a lovely person. Genene made the whole process fun and easy, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Genene! x

Amy & Marcus Nunderi NSW / 12/03/2023

"GENENE WAS THE PERFECT WEDDING CELEBRANT!" Jacinta and I are so thankful we could have her on our special day. She was exemplary in keeping us on top of our paperwork, vows, ceremony and preparing us for the day. All the little things she organised for us, her attention to detail and professional manner, really made us comfortable going into the wedding. We highly recommend her as a celebrant and can knowingly say she is the best there is!

Jacinta & Dimitrij Bougainvillea House / 12/03/2023

"GENENE IS PURE BRILLIANCE!" Where to begin, Genene. You are a master. By choosing you to officiate our marriage this year we witnessed the Midas Touch that is Genene Deakin. I would suggest to anyone seeking a Marriage Celebrant (read: love litterateur, mother of ceremonies, chief of cool) they need not look further than Genene’s LOVE LETTERS webpage. We second each and every sentiment of those who have also entrusted Genene with this very special piece of their marriage. Every interaction we had with Genene was as delightful as it was professional. From the very first meeting we were overwhelmed with comfort! A big family wedding was not something I had thought I could handle, but we found in Genene the source of reassurance and empowerment we needed to create our celebration our way. Genene is pure brilliance. We feel so deeply grateful and privileged to have chosen Genene to tie the knot for us, officially.

Pip & Marley HSW / 12/03/2023

"EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR US HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND A LOVELY EXPERIENCE." Thank you for the beautiful package in the mail. Everything you have done for us has been incredibly well thought out and a lovely experience. We hope you have an amazing year ahead. Rebecca and Pete

Rebecca & Peter Loyal Hope / 08/10/2021

" YOU WERE EVERYTHING WE WANTED IN A CELEBRANT" We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for being a part of our day and most of all marrying us. You were everything we wanted in a celebrant; you were professional, calm, organised and so personal which made our ceremony everything and more we had dreamed of. Genene made our ceremony so personal and special, it really set the precedence for the whole day which was all amazing. She was extremally professional which made us feel very taken care of throughout the whole process. We did not once have to worry about what to do next as Genene took care of everything. We would highly recommend using Genene for your special day, she will make it really memorable and special.

Elly & Derek Fortitude Valley / 12/03/2023

"WE APPRECIATED YOU SO SO MUCH ON OUR DAY." Thank you so so much Genene! We hope you loved our ceremony nearly as much as we did. We really loved the day and nothing could have made it any better. Love Elle & Rowan

Elle & Rowan The Lussh / 09/07/2022

"ORGANISED, DOWN TO EARTH AND GENUINELY LOVELY." A huge thanks to our amazing celebrant Genene who put together the perfect ceremony for us! After several years of cancellations due to COVID we came across Genene’s website as we looked to relocate our ceremony to Queensland and completely downsize. Nothing but positive energy and constant reassurance that it was going to happen this time around. We couldn’t recommend Genene highly enough – organised, down to earth and genuinely lovely.
