Choosing a Marriage Celebrant

Choosing a celebrant is mostly about voice: the person who writes your ceremony is also the one reading it aloud in front of everyone you know. Newcastle's celebrants lean warm and funny. Married By Adam and Jaya Bargwanna Celebrant both build story-led ceremonies, Jaya's with a rom-com feel drawn from questionnaires and a first meeting. Julie Muir Celebrant brings an Irish-born sense of humour and can include Irish, Spanish, French or Italian, and some AUSLAN, while Lyndal Johnston The Travelling Celebrant keeps things playful.

Experience runs deep across the city. Wed By Kez Celebrant, based in Mayfield, has married 900+ couples since 2009, Monty King Celebrant more than 800 since 2015, and Married By Adam over 500 since 2018. Married By Max is a practising lawyer, which shows in how carefully the marriage paperwork and lodgement are handled.

Budgets spread wide. Heaps Married Ceremonies starts From $700, with options from a two-minute legals-only signing to a fully written ceremony. Wed By Kez Celebrant and Lyndal Johnston both start From $1,100, Julie Muir From $2,000, and Monty King From $2,200, which includes a professional PA and unlimited contact in the lead-up.

Worth asking at the first meeting:

  • Will I see a draft? Wed By Kez Celebrant writes every script from scratch and shares it for your approval.
  • Who brings the sound? Married By Adam and Jaya Bargwanna pair a Bose speaker with a Sennheiser wireless mic.
  • Can you host the reception too? Monty King, Married By Max and Julie Muir all offer MC work after the ceremony.
  • Can you set the whole thing up? Lyndal Johnston runs pop-up weddings with dressed chairs, arbours, rugs and a welcome sign.
