Thoughtfully crafted ceremonies by your local wedding celebrant
I’m Donna, the celebrant, and I’d love to celebrate you
Your wedding is a celebration of your love, and your ceremony sets the next chapter of your lives together in motion. Choose a celebrant (oh, hang on, you just found the perfect celebrant - me) who genuinely cares about you and makes your ceremony meaningful, memorable and the best ever.
I’m Donna, an authorised celebrant registered to perform legal marriages in Australia. Since I commenced marrying couples, I have taken the most amazing journey celebrating love and happiness with a focus on personal, modern, and light-hearted ceremonies. I’m committed to designing a personalised ceremony that reflects you.
I do much more than just host your ceremony. With heartfelt dedication, I curate every word, every promise, and every sentiment to reflect the essence of your relationship. Ultimately you will feel like your best friend just married you!
Whether you’re celebrating with all of your family and friends or eloping, from the laughter-filled beginnings to the tender promises exchanged, let me unite you and your partner and the hearts of everyone present.
Wedding celebrant services across Ballarat, Geelong and Melbourne
No matter what type of wedding celebration you have in mind, I’ll work closely with you to craft a unique ceremony tailored to your personality, values and preferences. After all, your story is like no other – so your ceremony should be, too.

From the ceremony
Let’s kickstart your love celebration with a ceremony laced with care and calm. Having conducted many beautiful ceremonies (that’s lots of very happy lovers), I know how to take your vision and create a ceremony that is a true reflection of you and your love.
-
To the Reception
We’ve started the party; now, let’s keep the good times rolling. Relieve your friends and family from MC duties (you don't need drunk and nervous Uncle Aubrey stumbling through speeches) and use a professional. As the MC at your Wimmera, Ballarat or Geelong-based wedding, I’ll keep everything running smoothly, ensure guests know where they need to be and when to fill the dance floor, and let everyone celebrate hard for you two.
-
...and beyond!
Let me capture your guests' well wishes. Rather than signing a physical book, let them leave personalised recordings – whether they’re sharing warm wishes, tipsy tales or anything in between. A voice message is such a beautiful memory to hang onto for years to come. Enquire today about this added service.

WHAT LOVELY COUPLES HAVE SAID…

HOW IT WORKS
-
Let’s chat to see if I’m the right celebrant for you. I’m available over Zoom/FaceTime, face-to-face or even over the phone. It’s obligation-free, and I love wedding talk and hearing about all your wedding plans!
-
The legal requirement of signing the Notice of Intention to Marry (NOIM) document must be signed no less than one month before you marry. You will need to provide your birth certificate/passport, driver's licence, etc., but we can talk more about this later.
-
I’ll then send you a questionnaire, so have some fun with it. The main purpose is to allow me to know a little about your love story. I will then create a ceremony just for you. It will reflect you as a couple; there will undoubtedly be laughter, smiles, and even some happy tears. I aim to make sure you will remember the ceremony forever.
-
On the day, I arrive nice and early and ensure everything is as planned. Once your guests arrive, I will chat with them and continue creating a beautiful vibe for them and you two.
-
Once you have officially said I Do, I will register your marriage with Births, Deaths and Marriages, and you will sit back and wait for your official marriage certificate to arrive in the post (Victoria only). For those marrying in other states, I will officially register your marriage. However, you will need to apply for the official marriage certificate.
