About Emma Rose Weddings

Emma Rose Weddings is the business of Emma, a full-time civil marriage celebrant based in Hobart who has married hundreds of couples. Her style is easy-going and personal, with plenty of laughs, but the planning behind it is careful – she sees her job as guiding couples through every step so the ceremony feels like theirs and nothing is left to chance. There are five ways to book her. The Works is the complete experience: a planning meeting, a script written around the couple's love story, vow-writing guides, a final run-through and ceremony music through her Bose speaker. The Middle keeps the heart but drops the love story for a ceremony of about 15 minutes. The Offsider is for when a family member or close mate will lead the ceremony – Emma coaches them, lodges the paperwork and handles the legal wording on the day. The Legals is a brief weekday ceremony with the two of you and two witnesses. Emma also works as an MC. Add MC services to The Works or The Middle and she carries on after the ceremony, meeting with you beforehand about the reception timeline, liaising with the venue and suppliers, and introducing speeches, the first dance and the cake cutting until the dance floor opens. For couples keeping things small, she runs a weekday registry-style elopement in Hobart with a partner photographer, held at a spot of your choice close to the city – a park, a bar or somewhere that means something to you.

Frequently asked questions

Which Emma Rose Weddings package costs the least?

The Legals, a weekday-only ceremony of about five minutes with the legal wording, the couple and two witnesses, is the lowest-priced option at $585. It is designed for elopements.

Can a friend run our ceremony with Emma there for the legal part?

Yes. The Offsider package has Emma meet online with your chosen person to plan, help with vows and the paperwork, then turn up on the wedding day to cover the legal wording, supervise the signing and run your music.

Does Emma travel outside central Hobart?

She is based in Hobart and most packages include travel within 50 km of the city. Weddings further out are welcome, with a travel fee added to cover time and costs.

How long do Emma's ceremonies run?

Allow around 30 minutes in the run sheet for The Works and about 20 minutes for The Middle. The Offsider is up to you, and a legal-only ceremony takes roughly five minutes.

How is a booking with Emma secured?

Once your date is confirmed and a package chosen, Emma emails a contract to sign online with an invoice. Paying a 25% booking fee, which is not refundable, holds the date, and the balance is due a month before the wedding.
