About Darren the Celebrant
Darren the Celebrant is Darren Roberts, an authorised civil marriage celebrant based in Scullin in Belconnen. He believes a wedding ceremony should be three things at once – professional, fun and personal – with a moment where the two of you take a breath, catch each other's eye and realise you are about to be married. He became a celebrant in 2011, when friends asked him to help them have a ceremony that felt relaxed and personable rather than formal. That easy-going style is still what couples book him for. Each ceremony is built for the couple in front of him. Some want something simple and stylish; others want every element going, and either way he helps shape the content, suggests readings and keeps the legal requirements in order. He also has experience with ceremonies that bring together families from different nationalities and backgrounds. Past couples describe him as calm, organised and quick to laugh, and one Canberra couple had him up before dawn, twice, to marry them in a hot-air balloon. Darren starts every booking with a no-obligation meeting to get to know you, talk through ideas and see whether he is the right fit.
