Hear me out…

Does this sound familiar?

You arrive at a wedding, start looking for a seat.

Say hi to Nana Judy and sneak past that guy you dated for a few weeks at high school before breaking up with him via a note your best mate handed him at lunchtime (eek!)

All the important people arrive.
Everyone looks smokin’.

The ceremony begins aaaand… you’re on the countdown for it to end so you can get your hands on a sweet, sweet glass of champers.

Yeah? Nah. Not on my watch.

Wedding ceremonies should be FUN! It’s the perfect opportunity to just do you. We’ve got 124 words we need to get through to get you legally hitched and the rest is for you to decide! 

I get it. Weddings can be expensive and you’ve probably come here to see how much it’s going to cost to work together.

So I’m not going to muck you around. Here’s the number…

$1,200

And here’s what you get…

  • An obligation-free initial catch up to see if we’re a match.

  • A personalised online platform for all your ceremony planning thanks to MyCelebrant.

  • Catch up to get to know each other and for you to give me all the juicy deets of your love story (in person or online, whatever suits you. Perhaps over a cheeky beveragino?)

  • A unique script for your ceremony that we’ll edit together via phone or email until you’re no less than utterly stoked with it.

  • Prep and lodgement (next business day) of all the legal docs - including organising and paying for your official certificate from BDM - so you have one less thing to worry about.

  • Help writing your personalised vows if you need it.

  • A bubbly, welcoming, bright-as-a-button celebrant for your big day that your nana will love and your friends will rave about.

  • Use of my PA system for your ceremony.

  • My utmost professionalism in all aspects - privacy, confidentiality, and full adherance to all legal requirements for your marriage.

Just tell me how much you’re gonna set me back, Amy.

Hold up, lady.

I got some questions…

  • Oh hey. I’m Amy. And I’m SO glad you’re here.

    I was appointed as a Commonwealth Registered Marriage Celebrant in May 2024 and launched LVW shortly after so yes, this is all pretty new. But here’s what’s not new…
    - my friendly, zesty, can-do attitude
    - my love of love, people, and bloody good times
    - my penchant for perfection and eye for the teensy tiny details
    - my desire to please (no, seriously, ask my therapist…)

    My uni quals are in comms and journalism, and I’ve had a long career in the public service so far. In 2022, my partner and I welcomed our little guy into the world, completing our family and turning our life on its head! After getting back to my day job after parental leave, I spent a lot of time daydreaming about ways to combine all the things I love and am good at to do a little something extra and create some flexibility for future Amy. Celebrancy is my perfect match!

  • Sure! If you’re looking for a legals only wedding or an elopment, I’d love to chat. We can tailor a bespoke package just for you - ooo, fancy!

    I can also do funerals (see below), vow renewals, naming ceremonies, graduations, MC gigs. Phew! Anything you think deserves a ceremony, I can make it an event to remember.

  • Well, I wouldn’t say I’m the boss. But the Attorney General says I can get you married because they’ve appointed me as a Commonwealth Registered Marriage Celebrant. To get here, I had to do a Certificate IV in Celebrancy where I learned all about how to create killer ceremonies with you and how to make sure it’s all legally spot on.

    I’m also deep in my own wedding planning for late-2025 so I’m living this craziness with you!

  • You betchya! I only take on a limited number of MC gigs though so let’s chat.

  • Firstly, if you’re here looking for this info, I’m so sorry for your loss. Helping people celebrate the life of someone close to them is a privilege and I’d be honoured to discuss with you how I can help.

  • Ok, here’s what you need to know.

    I grew up in country Victoria and now live in Ballarat with my partner, son, and rescue dog and cat. I’m a country gal at heart but also love spending time in the big smoke and travelling abroad.

    I love sports. I will talk about AFL and Formula One in particular all day and all night. Let’s not reveal teams until we’ve signed the contract though, ok?

    I’ll have:
    Coffee - a small soy latte
    Bar - a prosecco or a French martini
    Choccy block - Cadbury tropical pineapple

    I’m a big nerd. I love reading novels and baking sweet treats. Can’t cook a real meal to save myself though.

Reckon we’re a match?

Yew! Let’s do this thing!

Pop your deets below and I’ll be in touch with you ASAP.

Not into forms? I get it. Feel free to hit me up in my Insta DMs or email instead.
