What You Should Know About Working With Me

Hey there! Before we dive into planning your wedding, there’s something you should know: I’m not your typical celebrant.

My Approach Is Different

I don’t do cookie-cutter ceremonies. I don’t read from iPads or scripts. I don’t tell everyone your “how we met” story (because they already know it). Instead, I create forward-facing ceremonies that celebrate where you’re heading together.

After 16 years and thousands of weddings across 22 countries, I’ve learned that the best ceremonies are about 18 minutes long - the same length as a TED Talk. Long enough to feel significant, but not so long that your guests start checking their phones.

Who I’m Perfect For

You’ll love working with me if:

• You believe being married is even better than getting married
• You value authenticity over tradition
• You’d rather have an experience than just tick boxes
• You enjoy a good laugh
• You want your ceremony to be the highlight of your wedding day, not just something to get through

Who I’m Not Right For

Let’s be honest - I’m not the right celebrant for everyone. I’m probably not your guy if:

• You want a very formal, traditional ceremony
• You’re looking for the cheapest option
• You prefer filling out surveys over having real conversations
• Your wedding is going to be the best thing about your marriage
• You want something standard and predictable

What Makes Me Different

As a full-time professional celebrant (one of the few in Tasmania), this isn’t a side hustle for me - it’s how I support my family. That means:

• I arrive an hour early to set up professional Bose speakers and Rode microphones
• I dedicate your entire wedding day just to you (no rushing between multiple ceremonies)
• We meet as many times as needed, over coffee or video calls, to get your ceremony perfect
• I work collaboratively with your other vendors to ensure everything flows smoothly

The Real Deal

I’m a six-foot millennial male celebrant who trained in a Christian ministry college but chose to become a civil celebrant so I could marry everyone. I believe in creating ceremonies that matter, whether that’s an intimate elopement on Mount Wellington or a grand celebration in the Tamar Valley.

Yes, my prices are higher than most Tasmanian celebrants. That’s because I offer a premium, full-time professional service focused entirely on creating meaningful ceremonies that celebrate your future together.

Let’s Be Clear

I read every email, review, and message. I take feedback seriously because I genuinely care about creating the perfect ceremony for each couple. This isn’t just a job for me - it’s a passion for celebrating marriages in ways that matter.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s chat. If not, Tasmania has many other wonderful celebrants who might be a better fit. What matters most is finding someone who aligns with your vision for your special day.

After all, your ceremony should be the best part of your wedding day - not just something to get through before the party starts.
