Marriage Celebrant
If you are looking for a marriage celebrant who brings fun, warmth, and a little bit of cheekiness to your big day, then we might just be the perfect match! I’m not the quiet, shy type, but I bring energy, laughter, and a down-to-earth vibe to every ceremony. Weddings should be joyful, personal, and totally stress-free, and that’s exactly how I like to make them feel. Whether it’s sharing a laugh, calming the nerves, or making sure your love story is told in the best way possible, I’m here to make your wedding day truly unforgettable!
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of officiating all types of weddings, each unique in its own way. From dreamy beach weddings, where the ocean breeze adds an extra touch of magic, to stunning outdoor weddings under a canopy of trees or twinkling lights, to intimate backyard weddings filled with warmth and personality. I’ve seen it all, and I love it all. Whether it’s a grand, meticulously planned celebration or a small, intimate elopement, my role is to make sure your ceremony reflects who you are as a couple.
I’m based on the northside of Brisbane, QLD, but I happily travel for weddings across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Noosa, the Gold Coast, Northern Rivers NSW, the Scenic Rim, Toowoomba, and beyond. I also specialise in destination weddings in Far North Queensland, Cairns, the Capricorn Coast, Stradbroke, Moreton, and Fraser Islands, as well as ceremonies on cruise ships before you set sail!
No distance is too far for love—I’ve officiated weddings in Rockhampton, Goondiwindi, Stanley (VIC), and beyond, and I’m always up for celebrating couples anywhere in Australia. Let’s make it happen!
I take the time to get to know each couple I work with because no two love stories are the same. Some couples want a romantic, heartfelt ceremony filled with deep words and sentiment. Others want something a little more fun, lighthearted, full of laughter, and I love that too! Your ceremony should feel like you, not a script pulled from a book.
Hi, I’m Melissa - Wedding Celebrant, a bringer of the laughs and a Labrador lover!
Master of Ceremonies
Weddings are full of incredible moments, but they’re also unpredictable—and that’s part of the fun! Maybe the flower girl decides halfway down the aisle that she’s done for the day, or Grandma suddenly has a few words of wisdom to share mid-speech. Whatever happens, I take it all in stride, keeping things lighthearted and adaptable so that any unexpected moments become part of the laughter and memories rather than the stress. A great wedding isn’t about perfection—it’s about feeling present, embracing the unexpected, and making sure the energy stays high and the smiles keep coming!
Weddings are a mix of emotions—love, excitement, a few happy tears—and as the Master of Ceremonies, I make sure to keep the flow of the event feeling relaxed and effortless, making sure things move along naturally. Whether that means hyping up the crowd for a grand entrance, easing nerves before speeches, or throwing in a well-timed joke to break the ice, I help create an atmosphere that feels joyful, easygoing, and full of fun. My role is to help guests feel comfortable, the couple feel at ease, and everything move along smoothly without a dull moment.
At the heart of it all, my role isn’t just about speaking into a microphone—it’s about creating an atmosphere where people feel connected, relaxed, and ready to celebrate. With me as your MC, you can look forward to plenty of laughs, natural moments, and a wedding that truly feels like a joyful celebration from beginning to end.

Planning Weddings with Elegance and Fun!
Weddings are a mix of love, laughter, and a little bit of controlled chaos. That’s where I come in! My job isn’t just to stand up front and officiate; it’s to make sure your entire day flows smoothly and naturally without you having to stress about a thing.
Weddings have a lot of moving parts, and while you’re busy having the best day of your life, I’ll be the one making sure no one wanders off before speeches, the bridal party knows when to walk, and the music doesn’t cut out at the worst possible moment. It’s all about the little details, those tiny things that you shouldn’t have to worry about but that make a massive difference in keeping the vibe just right.
Over time, I’ve learned how to read the room and keep things on track, whether that means gently guiding a nervous best man into delivering a speech, making sure the cake-cutting doesn’t turn into a food fight (unless that’s your thing—no judgment!), or keeping the day running so it feels effortless. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about sticking to a timely schedule; it’s about creating moments that feel fun, natural, and completely stress-free on your most special day.
So, while you focus on getting married, celebrating, and soaking it all in, I’ll handle the rest—ensuring every moment flows beautifully, everyone is in the right place at the right time, and that the entire day feels as magical as you imagined it. Let’s make sure your wedding is not just perfect but unforgettable in all the best ways!
