About The Guy with the Blue Bow Tie
The Guy with the Blue Bow Tie is Chris Charteris, a Queensland-raised performer who settled in Sydney and works as a marriage celebrant and wedding MC. He has spent more than a decade in entertainment, leaning on improvisation and humour, and his blue bow tie doubles as the couple's something blue. His Celebrant and Wedding MC package rolls both roles into one booking. It starts with everything in his ceremony package: a call or Zoom chat, a face-to-face catch-up to hear your story, a ceremony written from scratch, all the legal paperwork, vow cards, a rehearsal if you want one, and a portable PA with a wireless microphone. Then he stays on for the reception, hosting the formalities, calling the announcements, keeping speeches on schedule and getting guests up dancing. He also keeps in touch with the vendors through the night so the timeline holds and the couple can switch off. Chris is based on the lower North Shore and regularly works across the Sydney CBD, Inner West and Eastern Suburbs, along with the Hunter Valley and Forster-Tuncurry. Harbourside venues in Mosman, The Grounds of Alexandria and Centennial Park are regular stops. Prices are sent with his availability once you enquire, and popular dates can be taken a year or more ahead.
