Mikaela and Dillion

We had a small, intimate elopement ceremony and Josh, our celebrant, was fantastic and passionate, showing a deep commitment to making our day perfect.From the first phone call, he provided fabulous advice, and on the day, he delivered a beautiful speech about love and marriage. Josh also stepped aside at key moments to let us have our special time together, making the ceremony incredibly personal.It was a perfect day, and we can't stop talking about it, nor can our families. We now have beautiful memories that will last a lifetime, thanks to Josh. Thank you! x

The Process

This isn't my first rodeo and I'm the master of ceremony, so you can trust that the process of getting married with me as your celebrant is going to be enjoyable and easy.

  • Initial Consultation: We start with a relaxed and informal chat to get to know each other. This is where we discuss your ideas, preferences, and any specific elements you want in your ceremony. Over a video or phone call, or in person.

  • Planning and Preparation: I guide you through the legal requirements and help you structure your ceremony. We work together on vows, readings, and any other components you wish to include.

  • Rehearsal: Personally, I don't need to rehearse and encourage you to ditch the rehearsal, but, if needed, we can have a rehearsal to ensure everyone knows their roles and the ceremony flows smoothly.

  • The Big Day: I arrive early to coordinate with other vendors and ensure everything is set up correctly. Then, I perform the ceremony, making sure it is a beautiful and memorable experience for you and your guests.

  • Post-Ceremony Support: After your wedding, I take care of all the legal paperwork, ensuring everything is submitted correctly and on time.

Your wedding day is often something you dream about for years—what dress you'll wear, what decor you'll choose, and if the music will be just right. But one thing often overlooked is how you want the day to feel!Josh was instrumental in creating this feeling for me and my husband. From our first conversation, he felt like someone we’d known for ages. He was friendly, funny, and, most importantly, understanding.This continued up to the wedding day, where Josh came to speak with me as I was getting ready. He checked in to keep me informed and see if I needed anything. Although I was calm and ready to marry the man of my dreams, his genuine care didn't go unnoticed.Our 12 guests couldn’t stop praising Josh. He spent time with them before the ceremony, making them feel included and ready to cheer us on. By the time I walked down the aisle, my small group of 12 felt like 100, thanks to Josh's incredible ability to make everyone feel free and included.The words he spoke before our vows were effortless, not rigid or scripted, but a flowing love letter to love and connection. He is incredible at what he does, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!I won’t be getting married again, but if I did, I know exactly who I'd choose as our celebrant. In the meantime, I’ll be telling everyone I know about him!

Josh was an amazing celebrant! Calm, relaxed and genuine.It is evident in his work that he has years in the wedding industry - professional and experienced.Josh managed our family friendly ceremony with ease making the ceremony both intimate and fun. I particularly liked that he didn’t pretend to know us or to tell our story - he left that for us to do in our vows.

Photographers, videographers, florals, legal paperwork etc was done for us. It was the perfect day of relaxation and intimacy. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough.
