Marriage Celebrant
I legitimately have the best job in the world, as a marriage celebrant I turn a Facebook relationship status from ‘Engaged’ to ‘Married’!
Nice to meet you, I'm John!
If you’re looking to have the best day of your life without having to worry about the stress that comes with that, you’ve come to the right place! I’m a marriage celebrant based in Melbourne with over 18 years experience in the wedding and events industry.
Did you know, when it comes to your big day, there are only three legal requirements?
The part where I have to say that I’m authorised by law to solemnise marriages according to law, the part where YOU need to say some legal vows and lastly, where WE, along with your witnesses have to sign the legal stuff.
It’s really that simple, and for that reason, the rest is up to you, let’s do it your way and create something truly unique and uniquely you.
Tradition is great and there is certainly a place for it, but have you ever stopped and considered that tradition has to start somewhere?
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you always get what you’ve always gotten” – Jessie Potter
In summary, take a risk, trust your instinct and give yourself the wedding [or event] you want, not what you think others want, and I promise to be your safety net.
My style
Don’t just think outside of the box, throw the box out!
When it comes to marriage, you’re here for love, not stress!
My role as a marriage celebrant is more than just officiating the ceremony and helping you through the legal parts. I will guide you through the entire process in a calm and relaxed way taking on board all of your wants and needs ensuring you are guided through how your ideas can best be used but also providing you with advice and guidance at the same time.
There is no greater compliment I receive as a marriage celebrant than when I am asked how long I’ve been friends with the couple for. To me, this is a reflection on how I work with my couples and totally tailor my approach to each couple and get to know you throughout the process from initial inquiry until the day itself and indeed after the big day.
Further, if you ever walk into a Hard Rock Café anywhere around the world you will see giant signage saying “Love all, serve all” a salient quote I apply to my own business, you will be taken care of by me no matter your background, identity or divergences.
