About Taylored Celebrations

Taylored Celebrations is the celebrant business of Debbie Taylor, an authorised civil marriage celebrant based in Campbell. Celebrancy is her third career, after years as a teacher and school principal and then in the public service, and she brings that people focus to every couple she marries. Her approach is collaborative. She listens to what you want and what you don't, drafts the ceremony, takes your feedback and delivers the version you have both signed off. There are three ways to book her. A legals-only ceremony covers the paperwork and a standard script for a very small group and runs for around five to ten minutes, while the Small and Intimate option suits elopements and gatherings of up to about 40 guests, with some personalisation and up to two meetings. The Bespoke ceremony is the full version – up to four meetings, a couple's reflection, help with readings, poems and rituals, a rehearsal, her PA system with Bluetooth music, and her arrival an hour before you walk down the aisle. Debbie takes just one bespoke wedding on any date, so if things run late there is no pressure to wrap up. She sends a draft of the ceremony four to six weeks out and aims to have it final three to four weeks before the day, then registers the marriage afterwards and helps with the certificate and any name change. For couples who also need a photographer, her husband Michael Taylor can shoot the ceremony as part of the Taylored packages, which add 30 to 90 minutes of photography.

Service Details

Every wedding includes a pre-ceremony meeting, help with readings, poems and vows, and liaison with your other suppliers.

A rehearsal is extra on smaller ceremonies.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest ceremony Taylored Celebrations offers?

The legals-only ceremony at $690 is the simplest option. It covers preparing and lodging the legal documents and a standard script, and suits about two to ten guests in a ceremony of five to ten minutes.

How many guests suit the Small and Intimate ceremony?

It is designed for elopements and gatherings of up to about 40 people. It includes some personalisation, up to two meetings and unlimited email and phone contact, with a ceremony of roughly 10 to 20 minutes.

Will Debbie be rushing off to another wedding on the day?

No. She takes a single bespoke wedding on any date, so your ceremony has her full attention and a late start is not a problem for her schedule.

Can we book a photographer together with the celebrant?

Yes. Her husband Michael Taylor is a photographer, and the Taylored packages add 30, 60 or 90 minutes of ceremony photography to the matching ceremony tier, with a minimum number of edited photos for each.

When do we see the ceremony script?

Debbie sends a draft four to six weeks before the wedding, takes your feedback and aims to finalise it three to four weeks out, so you can put it aside and relax before the day.
