Suzie and Troy’s wedding was held at the stunning Wattle Park Chalet, right in their local area. With the beautiful garden backdrop, it was the perfect setting for their very special day. From the very beginning, their friends and family welcomed me so warmly, it was clear that this was a group of people who truly adore Suzie and Troy.

For Irish people who have made Melbourne their home, weddings often become more than just the joining of two lives. They’re reunions. They’re celebrations that gather family and friends from every corner of the globe, filling the day with laughter, music and that unmistakable Irish warmth.

As a celebrant, I’m often invited into people’s lives during significant moments, both the happy occasions and sadder occasions. One of the most meaningful parts of my work is when a family I’ve supported during a funeral later reaches out to include me in a happier chapter of their story.

That was the case with Jessica and Fionn.

Rohan and Olga were married on a glorious, sun-soaked afternoon at the Sandringham Yacht Club, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. With Port Phillip Bay sparkling in the background, their wedding was a true celebration of love, family and friendship.

As many Melbournians know, the weather can be unpredictable and change with little warning. This can make it tricky when planning a wedding. Whether you're exchanging vows in a natural setting, by the coast, or in the heart of the city, the elements remain one factor beyond your control. Fortunately, with some thoughtful preparation, you can ensure your special day runs smoothly—rain, hail, or shine.

Kirsty and Rhys tied the knot at the beautiful Mt Duneed Estate  and what a celebration it was! Family and friends travelled from all over Australia and Ireland to be there which says everything about how loved these two are.
Their ceremony was an absolute joy to lead. It was fun and full of energy but also beautifully sincere when it needed to be. Guests laughed one moment and wiped away tears the next exactly how a wedding should be.

Wendy and Simon chose the beautiful Dolphin Fountain in Fitzroy Gardens as the backdrop for their wedding — a tranquil, leafy pocket of Melbourne ..

Linda and Bec are true life partners. As they told me, in their hearts they already felt married — but their wedding day was about formalising that love and bringing all their closest loved ones along for the journey.

Michelle and Nathan were married at The Pavilion in the Royal Botanic Gardens — an oasis of calm and natural beauty with the city skyline as its backdrop. The colour palette they chose was joyful and bright, with playful pops of pink in the blooms and styling that perfectly reflected their fun, warm-hearted energy.

Getting to marry Shane and Guy after 38 years together was without a doubt, one of the great highlights of my career as a celebrant. Their ceremony wasn’t just about rings and vows — it was a long-awaited moment of recognition, of celebration, and of love that has stood the test of time.

If you’re dreaming of an intimate, no-fuss wedding with jaw-dropping scenery, the Great Ocean Road is the perfect place to say, “I do.” With its rugged cliffs, golden beaches, and lush rainforests, this iconic stretch of coastline offers some of the most breathtaking elopement spots in Australia.
