I got into the celebrant business when my partner’s sister asked me to be a stand-in celebrant for her wedding (with a real celebrant doing the legal parts but with me doing everything else). I couldn’t believe how much fun it was! I had members from both families telling me I’d found my calling and ended up being the stand-in celebrant for her brother’s wedding too. After doing my second wedding as an unofficial celebrant, I knew I needed to do this for real.

I live in Melbourne; however, I like to travel and I am qualified to perform a wedding ceremony in any State in Australia. You won’t be charged for the travel – just accommodation!

I love to make a ceremony all about the couple. I’ll help with the planning and do my utmost to make the day an exceptional one for the couple, as well as friends and family.

Contact me for a chat. You don’t have to decide immediately.

I am happy to travel wherever this amazing profession takes me. Let’s get married!

Over the course of my life I have attended many ceremonies, so I understand how important it is to have the right celebrant with the right personality and smile, to make your guests feel comfortable and relaxed.

It’s about connecting with people. I enjoy the challenge that my clients put before me and to help achieve their magical day.  My mission is to create an experience that allows you to enjoy each step and to make each ceremony one to never forget and not forgetting all the legal pieces.

I enjoy life to the fullest, live a healthy lifestyle, happiest by the ocean it’s so calming and inspiring. My other passion is to travel and share each amazing destinations, fantastic way to learn and collect great new ideas, traditions and rituals that can be included in future ceremonies.

I’m Teddy Bell, the Melbourne celebrant behind Married By A Teddy.

I create modern, non-religious ceremonies for couples who want the moment to feel personal, beautifully composed and genuinely well led. Every ceremony is shaped with editorial restraint: warm without becoming sentimental, entertaining without turning into a performance, and meaningful without the clichés.

Inclusive by default and calm under pressure, I’ll guide the entire process with clarity—from finding the right words to holding the room when it matters.

The result is a ceremony that feels unmistakably yours—and effortless to everyone watching.
