The Ceremony Shouldn’t Be the Boring Part…
Here’s How We Make It Magic
Let’s be real for a second: when most people think about weddings, they get excited about the party. The dress. The florals. The cake (no judgment, same). But the ceremony? That part often gets treated like a box to tick before the real fun begins.
Well, I’m here to flip that on its head. Because your ceremony can be one of the most meaningful, joy filled, and unforgettable parts of your entire day if it’s done right.
As a fun celebrant based in Melbourne, I don’t do boring. I create ceremonies that feel like you. That tell your story, make your guests laugh (and maybe cry), and set the tone for the celebration to follow. This is your love, your way and it deserves to start strong.
Let’s Talk About Modern Wedding Ceremonies
Gone are the days where every ceremony sounded the same. You know the ones:
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...” (Yawn.)
A modern wedding ceremony isn’t about tradition for tradition’s sake it’s about connection, joy, and presence. It’s the moment you look at each other and go, “Holy heck, we’re doing this.”
My job is to guide you through that moment with warmth, heart, and a few well-timed jokes. I work closely with every couple to make sure their ceremony reflects who they are not who someone else thinks they should be.
So, What Does a “Not Boring” Ceremony Look Like?
Here’s the truth: it can look like anything you want. But here’s what it often includes when you work with me:
💬 A Personalised Love Story
I don’t use templates. I write each ceremony from scratch, based on your story—how you met, what you love about each other, the silly quirks, the big moments, and everything in between.
🧡 Real Emotions
Whether your vibe is romantic, goofy, sentimental or somewhere in the middle, we lean into you. This is your moment. It should feel honest, warm, and real.
🎤 Just the Right Amount of Laughter
I love making people smile. Weddings don’t have to be super serious to be meaningful. The right kind of humour can break the nerves, bring people together, and make your guests feel like they’re part of the magic.
🎶 Music, Readings or... None of That
Want a reading? Great. Don’t want a reading? Also great. Fancy a mini acoustic performance or a tequila toast mid-ceremony? I’ve seen it all, and I’m here for it.
If you're looking for non-traditional ceremony ideas, we’ll brainstorm something that feels exactly right for you.
✅ All the Legal Stuff, Sorted
I take care of all the boring bits behind the scenes, so you don’t have to think about paperwork or timelines. You just show up, be in the moment, and get married.
Why Your Ceremony Deserves the Spotlight
Your wedding isn’t just a big party it’s a celebration of your love. And your ceremony? That’s where it all begins.
Think about this:
It’s the first time your guests see you together that day
It’s the part where you actually become married
It’s the moment your love story is spoken out loud and witnessed
Shouldn’t that be something you remember forever?
