From our first meeting to our last, he talked sense and really made us think about what marriage meant to us. He designed and tailored our ceremony to suit our needs.

Paul and Anna

Wedding Ceremony

We found Josh by Googling 'wedding celebrant who isn't boring'. We had an initial meeting with Josh and found out he wasn't available on our preferred wedding date. So we changed our wedding date!

Emily and Luke

Wedding and MC

Josh was amazing! He was very professional while still keeping the environment laid back and fun. It was truly perfect and we would not have changed a thing.

Scotlyn and Nick

Elopement Ceremony

Josh was incredible! In every possible way. The day flowed because of him, there was so much worry taken off of our shoulders and he was always there through whatever needed.

Adnan and Ash

Wedding Ceremony

We wanted a relaxing yet memorable day and we could not be happier. Josh was funny yet compassionate in his words and kept us relaxed all afternoon in Hobart and Mount Wellington.

Frequently Asked Questions

While Australian law requires only one month's notice, popular dates (especially weekends in summer months) book out 9-18 months in advance. Once you've secured your venue, I recommend booking your celebrant next.

I believe the perfect ceremony length is about 18 minutes - the same length as a TED Talk. It's long enough to feel significant but not so long that people lose interest. This timing has proven perfect across thousands of ceremonies.

No, I don't read from scripts, books, or iPads. After getting to know you through conversations, I create and deliver your ceremony naturally, making it feel authentic and engaging for everyone.

Your NOIM must be lodged at least one calendar month before your wedding date. You can lodge up to 18 months in advance. We can complete this together either in person or via video call.

You'll need: A birth certificate or current passport, photo ID (driver's licence or passport), and if previously married, divorce papers or death certificate. Any non-English documents need a NAATI-certified translation.

While not legally required, personal vows make your ceremony unique. I can guide you in writing meaningful vows that reflect your relationship and future together.

Always have a backup plan for outdoor ceremonies. I bring professional Bose speakers and Rode microphones that work in any weather, ensuring everyone can hear your ceremony clearly.

No, Australian law requires a one-month waiting period from NOIM lodgement. This can only be waived in exceptional circumstances through a prescribed authority.

No, you can sign separately with different witnesses at different times. The one-month waiting period starts once one party's signature is witnessed and I receive the form.

Use your current legal name, supported by official documentation (birth certificate, change of name certificate, or marriage certificate).

I focus on creating forward-facing ceremonies that celebrate where you're going, not just retelling how you met. Each ceremony is personally crafted through conversations, not surveys, ensuring an authentic celebration of your marriage.

Yes, I travel anywhere in Tasmania that I can drive to without additional charge. For locations requiring boats or planes (like Bruny Island or Flinders Island), you can either book the transport directly or I can arrange and add it to your invoice.
