About Matthew Vercoe Celebrant and MC
Matthew Vercoe is a civil marriage celebrant and wedding MC who has worked at more than 250 weddings as celebrant, MC or both. A dad of two with a weakness for funky bowties, he sets out to create custom ceremonies that are happy, emotional, fun and funny, and to leave couples feeling they had a friend up the front. Each ceremony starts with your story. He looks for the details others miss – how you met, the in-jokes, the family members you want to honour – and weaves them in with moments such as a champagne toast to a much-loved song lyric, a 'paparazzi 30 seconds' when guests can step forward for photos, or a sibling or child announcing you back down the aisle. On the day he settles the couple at the altar, looks after the music cues and keeps everyone calm. As an MC he carries the same energy into the reception, planning details such as a sparkler entrance, introductions and the opening of the dancefloor at a planning meeting beforehand, so the whole wedding feels connected rather than split into separate parts. His real weddings include ceremonies at Ayers House, Sunnybrae Estate, Hazelmere Homestead, Jackson Square, Veale Gardens and Beach Road Wines in McLaren Vale, where he helped run three weddings on one day as part of a photography workshop.

Frequently asked questions
Can Matthew Vercoe be both our celebrant and our MC?
Yes. He conducts ceremonies and MCs receptions, so one person who already knows your story can guide guests from the vows through to the dancefloor.
How personal are his ceremonies?
Very. Each ceremony is written from scratch around your relationship, with your story, family involvement, vows and ring promises shaped to suit the two of you.
Can someone we love announce us after the ceremony?
Yes. He likes personal exits, where a sibling, child or close friend announces the married couple back down the aisle, and he will plan it with you.
What is the paparazzi 30 seconds?
Once the couple are at the altar, guests get a short window to come forward and take their own photos of the two of them before the ceremony continues.
How many weddings has Matthew worked at?
More than 250 weddings as a celebrant, MC or both, at venues ranging from historic city houses and gardens to wineries in McLaren Vale.
