I have a real passion for making your day a “hit” for so many reasons, including:
the real privilege that comes from being
\n\tinvited to play a “small” part in what is often
\n\tthe “biggest” day of a bride or groom’s lives
\n\tto date;
the buzz that comes from helping a couple go from “we have no clear vision of what we want” to “yes, that’s so perfectly it/us”;
\n\tthe theatre, the emotion, and the pleasure that comes from interacting with really happy people;
\n\tthe opportunity to use my creative writing and public speaking skills to ensure the focus is 100% about my couples (because let’s face it, some celebrants need reminding “it’s your day not theirs!”);
\n\tand then the ultimate - watching our collaborative effort unfold before you and your guests from the best seat in the house.
\n\t
On a professional level I was employed in a senior management role in the public sector for over 20 years, and more recently I have been employed by the AFL as a fitness coach, working closely with committed and elite athletes who are associated with Australia’s greatest game. That role complemented my passion for health and fitness, and the energy and enthusiasm I have for helping people to achieve a “hit.”
On a personal level my beautiful wife (pictured with me above) is my childhood sweetheart, and we share the love for four great kids.
If you want a truly professional, genuine, friendly, and positive celebrant, who has a sense of humour, lots of ideas and options for you to consider, and who can think outside the normal parameters, then please contact me.

If you choose me as your celebrant, please feel confident that you are in good hands. I have conducted over 500 weddings and other ceremonies; I was voted Melbourne’s most popular male marriage celebrant in the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Australian Bridal Industry Academy Awards; and three times have been featured as a celebrant in major bridal magazines.
As a relatively young celebrant with a modern approach to a traditional day, my clients often tell me they appreciate how in-touch I am with their vision for their wedding ceremony, and how I have the skills to create and deliver that vision perfectly on their special day.
Although it is not hard to find somebody who is registered to carry out civil marriage ceremonies,
\nit is not so easy to find someone you can connect with, and who will ensure you remember everything from the planning to the ‘big day’ for all the right reasons.
Between now and your wedding you will likely think about hundreds of details to create a style and theme that matches your vision for the day. I have the flexibility and ideas to help you achieve the perfect ceremony. Think of your ceremony like a stage production - it doesn’t matter how good you look, how good your costumes are, or how good the set or music is, if the script and it’s delivery doesn’t cut it, then the event won’t be a hit!
