About Jill Player Cotton

Being chosen to be your celebrant is a privilege.

As your celebrant, it’s my job to facilitate the style and type of wedding you wish to have.

To create the atmosphere, mood, and feeling you want to have on your wedding day.

It’ll be available to you both from the moment you book with me to discuss any thoughts and ideas you may have (and I love hearing these), as well as any questions or concerns you may have.

Your wedding can be large, small, elegant, inventive, traditional, informal, and/or creative.
Truly, the world is your oyster.

As long as the legal requirements are met before, during, and after your wedding ceremony (and your celebrant is responsible for making sure of that), there is no “right” or “wrong.”

There are no “rules.”

There is only what feels right and comfortable for the two of you.

I am meticulous and professional, a double, triple, and quadruple checker of details.

I enjoy all the people, families, grandmothers, aunts, nieces, nephews, little ones, and friends (including all types of pets) that I meet, and the stories I learn.

I enjoy engaging your guests during the ceremony and on the day.

Before celebrancy, my three main hats were public relations, working with children with learning and behavioural difficulties, music teaching, and professional scriptwriting.

I’ve been a celebrant since 2013.

My job = Joyous.
I love it.

Thank you so much for dropping in.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions whatsoever.

All of my very best wishes,
Jill

Dearest Jill , You helped to make our day so very, very special . You went above and beyond , and nothing was too much trouble as we were planning. Your guidance, professionalism, and reassurance was all appreciated, especially on the day . We had so many lovely positive comments about how personal and warm our ceremony was, exactly how we wanted it. Thank you so very much, Jill, we would not hesitate to recommend you in the future.

Liz and Chris Audley Dance Hall, Sydney

Dear Jill, We could thank you again and again for being our celebrant! Our wedding was just perfect! You did such a brilliant job in incorporating everything we wanted into the ceremony and most importantly gave it the exact tone we wanted. Thank you for your endless support, continued willingness to answer all questions and patience with us throughout the whole process.

Neelan and Meredith Wanda Surf Club, Sydney

Jill is an eloquent, intelligent woman who is able to think on her feet. Her drama qualification from the Guildhall in London is reflected in her use of expression, articulateness, and clarity of voice. Jill would be the sort of marriage celebrant everyone would love to have at their wedding. Her inclusive nature would put all at ease, her mellifluous voice would soothe an anxious bride or groom, and her wonderful sense of humour would make the ceremony a memorable occasion for all concerned.

Belinda Single Bowral, Southern Highlands, NSW

Choosing Jill to be our celebrant was an easy decision and she did an amazing job of making sure we were all ready to go on our big day. She made sure all the little details that can be easy to forget (like ALL the paperwork) , were taken care of and it made everything run so smoothly. She is wonderful with her words and telling a story and allowed Dan and I to create a ceremony that was uniquely us and it was made so special because of this. There were many happy tears throughout the ceremony from everyone in the room, and I have had so many wonderful comments from guests about how amazing this official part of the day was. Words cannot do Jill justice as a celebrant and we are very lucky to have been married by a now dear friend.

Jodie and Dan South Coast, NSW

Thank you so much for being our celebrant! We couldn't imagine the day without you, we are so grateful to you for making everything so easy for us. From the moment we spoke to you on the phone we knew you would make our ceremony so special and distinctly 'us.'

Natalie Sydney

Jill made our day perfect. Such a beautiful soul inside and out. The ceremony was everything and more. Leading up to the wedding, it was all organised and ready. Our appointments were easy and fun. Jill felt more as an integral part of our wedding, not just our celebrant. Thank you again, Jill. I wish everyone a beautiful day just like we had.

Brittany and Dylan Camden, NSW

Thank you for all of your help and guidance during the entire process. It was the most amazing day, our ceremony was absolutely perfect and it was a truly memorable way to begin our married life together. We are eternally grateful.

Adam Elizabether Bay House, Sydney

Jill was perfect for our surprise wedding as the celebrant, we couldn't be happier with her leading up to the big day and on it :) we will always recommend you. Thank you xxxx

Carlie and Dave Loftus, Sydney

Jill is resourceful, articulate, and has a genuine love of people. She has a fine emotional intelligence and great presence of mind. Her bearing engenders confidence, and her sense of theatre helps to make an occasion fun. Her joi de vivre is contagious.

Peter Huskisson, NSW

I think we have all experienced a few celebrants in our time with various degrees of success, however, people note that you, Jill, are by far head and shoulders above everyone so far. We’ve had so many people come to us who made a strong note of your wonderful work on the day. Jill possesses a profound set of skills, she is warm and friendly with her approach, and treads a perfect line between traditional experience with modern flair. I am happy to say she was our celebrant, an event organised with a contemporary interpretation of a classical wedding. Jill was a crucial adviser to our planning early on, her intuition and simplicity allowed us to execute what I can say was a truly magical evening by every account. Jill is quietly dutiful in how she goes about her work, she has impeccable time management and demonstrates great respect to each step of the marriage process. Most importantly for myself, she understands people. From myself the groom, to the wedding party and parents, right down to the toddler ring bearer. She was able to accommodate and translate to everyone, to calm the nerves, as well as maintain a sense of lightness and fun. The ebbs and flows of a wedding day cannot be controlled, very much like life, however you can surround yourself with the right people and in that, your wedding day and your life would certainly be much better with Jill next to you. Thank you Jill, Ngoc and Viet

Hello! I’m Heather and I’m thrilled to be a part of your journey towards creating a beautiful and unforgettable wedding ceremony.
​As a wedding celebrant based in the picturesque Sutherland Shire, I bring a blend of warmth, joy, and a relaxed vibe to every celebration of love. My approach to crafting ceremonies is all about infusing them with your unique personalities and the things that matter most to you.
​My passion for life is mirrored in my love for the ocean and an active lifestyle. There’s something truly magical about the sea breeze and the tranquility it brings, which often finds its way into the ceremonies I officiate. Whether you dream of an intimate beachfront exchange of vows, a serene coastal backdrop, a vineyard or rural hideaway,  I’m here to make that dream a reality.
Here’s to love, laughter, and a ceremony that reflects your beautiful story

Non-traditional NSW Celebrant

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!
