About Lisa Newman Marriage Celebrant
Lisa Newman is a full-time civil marriage celebrant living in Tecoma, in the Dandenong Ranges, and has been marrying couples for 14 years. She is happy to travel well beyond the hills for a ceremony. Her style is light-hearted and engaging, with plenty of organisation behind the scenes. She gives the same energy to a tiny elopement as to a full ceremony with a large guest list. Every booking starts with a conversation about the legal steps, your ideas and how she works. Once you go ahead, the first legal form is lodged and you get access to her VIP Lounge, an online portal packed with information, suggestions and inspiration. The Full Ceremony is written around your relationship, with input from you both, help with your own vows and an online rehearsal meeting that also briefs the bridal party. The Short Ceremony uses a pre-written service with a warm overview of your story. For something smaller, the Elopement Ceremony keeps things brief at off-peak times with limited guests. The Legals Only option is the minimum wording, held at Lisa's home or within 10 km of Tecoma with just the couple and two witnesses. Full and Short Ceremony bookings come with the official marriage certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages. Send an enquiry to check your date.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Lisa Newman based and will she travel?
Lisa lives in Tecoma in the Dandenong Ranges and says she will go almost anywhere to marry a couple, so ceremonies across the hills and the Yarra Valley are well within reach.
What is included in the Full Ceremony?
A personalised ceremony written about you both, interactive input to get the tone right, guidance on writing your own vows, a detailed handbook, the VIP Lounge portal and an online rehearsal meeting. The official marriage certificate is included.
What is the difference between the Short and Full ceremonies?
The Short Ceremony uses a pre-written service with a warm overview of your relationship, while the Full Ceremony is written from scratch around your story. Both include the portal, a handbook, a rehearsal meeting and the official certificate.
Can we have a small elopement or legals-only wedding?
Yes. The Elopement Ceremony is a short, sincere service at off-peak times with guest limits, and the Legals Only option covers the required words at Lisa's home or within 10 km of Tecoma with two witnesses.
How does booking work?
It begins with a chat about the legalities and your plans. If you decide to go ahead, the first legal document is completed and you get full access to the online VIP Lounge, followed by a rehearsal planning meeting closer to the date.
