About Married By Harry

Married By Harry is the Canberra celebrant and MC business of Harry, who started out after officiating a close friend's wedding and found that years of law, writing and public speaking suited the job. He has since delivered more than 200 weddings, receptions and events, from 200-guest receptions at Canberra venues to small elopements at sunrise. As a reception MC, Harry takes charge of the run sheet, moves the room from one formality to the next without awkward gaps and keeps the atmosphere right for the crowd, steering clear of cheesy routines. A background in event management shows in his attention to timing and detail, and his manner is calm and grounded when the day gets busy. Couples who also need a celebrant can have Harry conduct the ceremony. Packages run from a legals-only ceremony through to a fully custom one, with the legal paperwork handled properly, so the person who marries you can also host the celebration that follows. Vow renewals, naming ceremonies and other milestone ceremonies are offered as well. For the ceremony space, Married By Harry hires simple set-ups such as arbours, chairs, aisle runners and garlands. The first step is a free, no-pressure chat to work out whether the day needs MC hosting, a ceremony, set-up hire or all three.
