About Surfcoast Ceremonies
Surfcoast Ceremonies is the celebrancy business of Marni, a marriage celebrant whose home base is Anglesea. She works along the Surf Coast and the Great Ocean Road, over on the Bellarine and around Geelong, and her ceremonies aim to feel relaxed and genuine rather than scripted. Before celebrancy she worked as a nurse and in healthcare sales, and she brings that people-first manner to every couple she meets. There are two priced ceremonies. The Simple Ceremony suits micro weddings and small guest lists: a no-obligation chat, one planning meeting, an information kit, a short ceremony with the option of personal vows, the legal documents, a PA if needed and travel within 100 km of Anglesea. The Signature Ceremony is written entirely for the couple, with help on vows and readings, her How to Vow guide, unlimited support, a pre-ceremony catch-up online and at least two hours of her time on the day. On the day she arrives an hour early to welcome guests and check in with the other suppliers, stays on after the vows, and brings a Bose PA and Sennheiser microphone; couples also receive a presentation certificate. For couples who want to keep things tiny, the elopement package covers a short legal ceremony at a location of their choosing plus a photographer, with a bouquet, buttonhole and a hamper of local produce as add-ons. Marni also works as an MC and DJ, so the same person can run the formalities and the music at the reception.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Simple and Signature ceremonies?
The Simple Ceremony is a shorter, intimate option with one planning meeting and optional personal vows. The Signature Ceremony is written entirely around the couple, with vow help, unlimited support and at least two hours of Marni's time on the day.
Does Surfcoast Ceremonies supply a sound system?
Yes. Both packages include a PA, and the Signature Ceremony uses Marni's Bose PA and Sennheiser microphone so every guest can hear the vows clearly.
Is travel included?
The Simple Ceremony includes travel within 100 km of Anglesea, measured as a round trip, with a per-kilometre fee for venues beyond that distance.
Can Surfcoast Ceremonies arrange an elopement?
Yes. The elopement package includes the celebrant, the legal paperwork, a short ceremony at the spot you choose and a photographer, with flowers and a picnic hamper available as extras.
Can Marni also MC or DJ the reception?
Yes. She offers MC and DJ services with her own PA, a planning meeting, curated playlists and full set-up and pack-down, either on their own or combined with a ceremony.
