Choosing a Marriage Celebrant

A celebrant does two jobs at once: they handle the legal paperwork that makes the marriage count, and they write and deliver the part everyone remembers. The celebrants listed for Wollongong all travel across the Illawarra – from the northern suburbs to Lake Illawarra, Kiama and Gerringong – so the choice comes down to tone, package and the extras each one brings.

Gemma Brooks Civil Celebrant suits couples after a calm, personal ceremony, with packages ranging from a legals-only elopement with two witnesses to a fully personalised ceremony with rehearsal. Handfasting, unity candle and ribbon rituals can be woven in.

Sharon Is My Celebrant, run by Sharon Campbell, writes entertaining, story-led ceremonies, and her full package includes a rehearsal, a cordless PA and a keepsake copy of the words. She also arranges elopement and pop-up wedding packages with local photographers and stylists, and her Co-Pilot option lets a friend present the ceremony while Sharon covers the legal side. Let's Say I Do Celebrant, led by Alisha Perkins, writes warm, light-hearted ceremonies with help on your vows, brings a Bose PA and wireless microphone, and also renews vows and MCs receptions.

Starting prices, side by side:

  • Gemma Brooks Civil Celebrant: From $550.
  • Sharon Is My Celebrant: From $575.
  • Let's Say I Do Celebrant: From $590.

Book the celebrant once the date and ceremony spot are confirmed, then line up Wollongong photographers to catch the vows. Planning the whole day? The wedding reception page brings venues and suppliers together.
