About Aisle Meets Annie
Aisle Meets Annie is Annie Rowley, a queer, values-based marriage celebrant based in Canberra on Ngunawal and Ngambri Country. Her ceremonies are light-hearted and full of laughter, built from the little details of your relationship, with room for the deep and meaningful when the moment calls for it. Her work rests on four values: inclusion, equality, reconciliation and authenticity. In practice that means asking your pronouns, using 'wedding party' rather than gendered terms, checking that locations are accessible and finding other ways to deliver vows if public speaking isn't your thing. Every ceremony includes an Acknowledgement of Country researched for the place you marry, and she has trained to deliver it in Ngunawal language. It is a non-negotiable part of booking her. The Custom ceremony is her full package: a ceremony written with you, an information booklet, a portal of more than 18 creative rituals, vow-writing tips and unlimited drafts. You meet in person up to twice, with one of those visits being a rehearsal at your venue, and on the day she brings vow cards, a signing table and a wireless PA with Bluetooth music. She arrives 30 to 60 minutes early to play host, and a $100 donation goes to the community organisation you choose. For elopements or a small wedding at home or the pub, the Just the Legals package is a sweet five-minute ceremony with the paperwork done.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Aisle Meets Annie charge?
Just the Legals is $650 and the Custom ceremony is $2,100 for weekend dates. Both cover travel within Canberra, with extra costs for ceremonies more than about 60 km beyond its boundaries.
Is an Acknowledgement of Country included?
Yes, in every ceremony. Annie researches and writes it for the land you are marrying on, can deliver it in Ngunawal language, and asks that couples only book her if they want one included.
What creative rituals can we include?
Her couple's portal holds more than 18 ideas, such as ring warming, ninja vows, a nature mandala, handfasting, a secret handshake, spot-the-reference games and surprise witnesses.
Is Annie a good fit for LGBTQIA+ couples?
Yes. She is a queer celebrant who asks your pronouns, accepts your gender as you state it on all paperwork and lets you choose whether you are called bride, groom, spouse or partner in marriage.
What happens in the Just the Legals package?
One face-to-face meeting for paperwork and logistics, then a five-minute ceremony with an Acknowledgement of Country, an introduction, legal wording, vows, a ring exchange and signing. It may not be available on Saturdays.
