In their words
What they say about me and their special day
Kirsten and Gavin’s Garden Wedding – Victoria Gardens, Prahran
Thank you so much for being our ‘amazing’ celebrant. We both had a superb day and have so many happy memories – thank you for your support, guidance and advice. And for making our ceremony truly special. Love, Kirsten and Gavin.
Jenny and Tim’s Wedding – Rosalind Park, Bendigo
It was an absolute pleasure having Bronte marry us. He took the time to get to know us in the months leading up to our big day and put together the most beautiful ceremony for us. On the day itself Bronte provided a sense of calm and the whole family just loved him. Both Tim and I could not recommend Bronte highly enough, he’s professional, easy to get along with from the moment you meet him, no task is too hard, he’s kind and has a good sense of humour. We are very happy he was the one to marry us! – Jenny & Tim
Kevin and Jamie’s Wedding – Bell City, Preston
Thank you for guiding Jamie and I through the process of planning our special day. We didn’t want a long ceremony, and you delivered what we wanted, short and sweet. Our guests loved the way you provided the ceremony, with Pride, your Flair and Personality and they loved your dickie bow, as did we! We would highly recommend you to our friends and family!! Thank you once again, Bronte
Craig & De Villiers Surprise Wedding – Port Melbourne Pier
In February 2018 Bronte was our marriage celebrant at our surprise wedding. From the first phone conversation Bronte’s knowledge, passion for his job and gentle nature put our minds totally at ease. Throughout what was a very unfamiliar process Bronte guided us and gave us so much incredible information so we could make the right decisions for our special day. Bronte is a delight as a MC but also the most lovely person to get to know. Last minute wedding day changes were no problem for Bronte and we would not have got through the day without him. His ability to connect, not just with us but also with the wedding guests, was truly special. So many of our friends, when looking through our wedding photos, have commented on how amazing the celebrant was and we most certainly agree. We are forever grateful to Bronte for helping make our day unforgettable.
Linda and Thomas’ Rustic Wedding, Summerfields Estate
Like any couple, we had an ideal list for our celebrant. We interviewed 3 other celebrants before we met Bronte and as soon as we met him, we knew he was the one. He was calm, friendly and easy to talk to, and most importantly, a supporter of the LGBTI community! Leading up to the big day, Bronte guided us through the entire process and gave us many suggestions in order to make our ceremony ‘us’. No last minute request or tweak to the schedule was too hard. Bronte also gave us a personalised gift that will remind us of our special ceremony forever. We are so thankful for your gift, support and well wishes for our future together, Bronte. We couldn’t have done this without you! Love is Love. Love, Linda and Thomas
Nat and Sarah’s Wedding – Church of Bang Bang Boogaloo, Melbourne
As soon as we met Bronte, we knew we had found our celebrant. He was genuinely interested in our story and what we wanted for our wedding day. He guided us through the entire process – at all times making us feel completely at ease. He also provided great ideas to make our ceremony just right for us. Bronte brought a warmth to our ceremony that really made it special and our family and friends loved him as much as we do.
Lucy and Ben’s Wedding – The Church of Bang Bang Boogaloo
There wasn’t a dry eye in the room during our ceremony – Bronte was spectacular and our wedding was even better than we had imagined! It was exactly the right balance of formal and relaxed, emotional and fun. We were so lucky to find Bronte; and we immediately really liked him when we met initially and instantly knew he was the one to marry us! Straightaway, Bronte got us, and knew what we wanted. He offered guidance and suggestions, over and above what we expected of any celebrant. Our wedding guests were full of compliments for him too. He warmly greeted everyone, reassured and calmed us in the thick of it and was the perfect addition to the day; he really was just brilliant. Thank you Bronte, we loved being married by you.
Jase and Kate’s Wedding – Tanglewood Estate
Wow, Bronte, where to start! Firstly, we can’t thank you enough for your absolute professionalism from the very start. We just felt a connection with you immediately and were so rapt we found you. Nothing was too much effort for you, whatever ideas we had, you would use them and put a finishing touch on them to make them great. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about our ceremony and you played the biggest part in that. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough Bronte, you were just the best.
Raquel and Muz’s Wedding – Treasury Gardens
Just a quick message to say a huge THANK YOU!! Muz and I had the most perfect day imaginable! Everything was what we dreamed of and more. Thank you for your time and all the catch ups. Our ceremony turned out beautiful and it was a perfect reflection of us. Thank you for all your reassurance, you made us feel so calm and reminded us what matters the most.
Megan and Mark’s Wedding – Yarra Ranges Estate
Bronte’s creativity, support, relatability and professionalism blew us both away. He was streets ahead of all other celebrants we interviewed (and had recently seen as we were fortunate to be guests at five weddings over summer) and definitely helped us craft and he then delivered what ended up as a ceremony that was very unique and completely representative of us – definitely not a cookie-cutter wedding. We cannot thank and recommend Bronte highly enough. Thank you Bronte.
Sarah and Joe’s Renewal of Vows – Encore, St Kilda
Bronte! What a guy! From start to finish Bronte went above and beyond for us. Bronte took out the time to customise and really focus on what we wanted out of it, and made sure we were comfortable and on track. He worked SO hard for us, and nothing was too much trouble for him! On the day, some of our family got stuck in awful traffic which pushed our already tight schedule out by nearly 90 minutes. Bronte kept checking in on me (and Joe) and kept us updated with the situation while we waited. The delay also meant that sadly a lot of all the hard work Bronte had put into our ceremony had to be culled. But he made it work on the spot and we couldn’t be more thankful. He also introduced a new tradition for us to do on our anniversary every year, which we will treasure. Thank you Bronte, you are such a wonderful kind human, we are so blessed to have you be part of our day xx
Jacqui and Tony’s Wedding – Sault
Choosing Bronte to be our wedding celebrant was one of the best decisions we made in the planning process. Bronte was so professional and got back to us quickly when we made our initial enquiry. Bronte understood that we were not wedding experts and gently guided us through what we needed to do without overwhelming us. Bronte was creative and flexible to our needs and most importantly, he made the effort to get to know us and create a ceremony that was truly meaningful to us. Seeing Bronte at the chapel on the day of our wedding instantly calmed both of our nerves. Bronte performed the most beautiful ceremony which all our guests are still talking about. We would highly recommend Bronte and cannot thank him enough for his kindness and professionalism.

Questions Frequently Asked by Engaged Couples
Can you help us with wedding planning?
Whether you’re after a traditional wedding with a huge guest list or a smaller, intimate and informal ceremony with just a few witnesses – or virtually anything in between – you and I can make your wedding amazing.
Where do you conduct weddings?
I’m based in Pascoe Vale, a suburb of Melbourne, but I travel all over Melbourne and regional Victoria, as well as interstate, to plan and deliver ceremonies. I want to marry you, no matter who you are or where you’re located. Contact me and let’s see how we can make it happen.
What are your fees?
My fees vary from $649 to $1999. They depend on the location of the venue, the complexity of the ceremony, the scale of the event and the time I spend drafting it and delivering it. You can be assured that there are no extra costs or hidden charges, when I give you a quote.
What’s the best way to catch up with you?
If you’d like to check me – and my availability – out, fill out the contact form to arrange a meeting when you’re free. Let’s have a free, no-obligation chat over a coffee or a glass of wine and go from there! Or let’s have an initial chat on Zoom or WhatsApp (my WhatsApp number is +61410456327). Alternatively, we can have a live chat on my website – and, if I’m not available when you want to chat, you can leave a message for me to respond to.
How busy are you?
I do an average of a wedding or two most weeks. I don’t do “boring” or “beige” weddings (unless I’m asked to!). And I don’t do cookie-cutter ceremonies. I also have a rule that I only do one wedding a day, so that I can genuinely be your celebrant on your day and be in the moment with you.
What makes a good celebrant?
I think the most important thing is to make sure there’s a really good fit or connection between the couple and the celebrant. Let’s face it: you and your celebrant are going to be working together for a period of time ranging from one month to perhaps 18 months, to bring together one of the most important events in your lives. You need to like your celebrant, and feel safe with them. You want to feel as if they genuinely take an interest in you and your wedding plans. And you deserve more than to be provided with a simple templated ceremony that they used with another couple last weekend. I love working with all sorts of couples to create and deliver a wedding ceremony for them that’s authentic, professional, polished and memorable.
Where can I have my wedding?
You can have your wedding anywhere you like! I marry couples all over Victoria and have conducted lots of weddings interstate. I will marry you at your home, in your backyard, on a beach, in a park, by a waterfall, on the Melbourne Star, in a bar or restaurant, at a traditional wedding venue – wherever you like. Or if you’d like me to provide a private room and your two legal witnesses, or a Vegas ‘drive-by’ style wedding, I can arrange that, too.
Let’s plan your wedding your way.
Apart from the legal words we each have to say during your marriage ceremony, there are no rules about what needs to go into a wedding ceremony. We can be as traditional or as playful as you like! Let’s work together to create a ceremony that’s authentic for you – one that reflects your beliefs, values and personalities. I’ll provide suggestions and samples – but the final decisions are yours to make.
