Hello from Matthew.
So, you’re engaged! Wooooo!
It’s nice to meet you.
I’m Matthew, someone who is just as excited about your wedding as you are. I pride myself on always being a calm presence for you, ensuring you are comfortable at all times, unique and engaging weddings and just providing a real and memorable experience for you and your guests.
I’ll look after the fun, and you just be you!
“We wanted a fun, not so ‘traditional’ ceremony, and boyyyy did Matthew make sure that happened! It was full of emotions and laughs.”
The celebrant essentials
Here’s where I can help you create a beautifully fun, organised and warm-hearted wedding day without the stress that can sometimes go with weddings.
All legal documents prepared and submitted.
Initial meeting, ceremony planning meeting and final week meeting at ceremony location (face-to-face - where applicable)
Immediate access to resource planning guides (ceremony and reception planning guides and questionnaires, and endless creative ideas)
Custom wedding run sheet and timeline provided after planning meeting
Immediate access to vow writing guide along with my drafting assistance and guidance.
Fully tailored and custom written ceremony
Bose S1 Pro PA speaker and Sennheiser Microphone included (plus spares)
The option to play your ceremony music through my speaker included.
Online questionnaires and resources.
Unlimited texts, phone calls or emails.
A celebrant who is genuinely as excited about your wedding as you are and is able to engage with your guests.
Matched suit jacket and bowtie to your aesthetics.
“Matthew is super creative and incredibly talented in his work, and our day would not have been as fun or successful without him.”
The extra good stuff
I’ll actually say hello to both of you on your wedding day prior to the ceremony, no guessing or leaving it up to guests or your photographer. I’m here to absolutely look after you, guide you and make it easy and simple.
There’s no expectations on your entrance, to share personal vows or anything that you don’t want to do. Let’s chat about it!
I’ll be out of most of your photos as I stand off to the side to tell your story. I won’t be in your entrance or exit shots, ring exchange, kiss or any of the story telling.
I can play your ceremony music through my speakers at no extra cost. No having to pay extra for someone on top of paying your celebrant.
I’ll create a 100% custom ceremony to you. No generic readings, phrases, poems or otherwise.
If you're looking for the one person to navigate your ceremony and reception, I can help you with both.
I have spares of everything (kindle, music, speakers, microphones, cables).
I really do aim for your ceremony to sound like a friend is telling it. I’ll interact with your guests, you and I just genuinely love what I do and would love to work with you!
“Matthew provided us with the perfect celebrant service. The whole process was fun, easy to follow, and very well supported.”
Celebrant to MC
Are you looking for an MC to host your reception?
Why not choose the same person that married you? Did you know I’d love to stick around to look after all the organising, conversations, fiddly bits, timings, run sheet changes, guest engagement, plus more so you and your mates can just have a great time.
“His presence, energy & spirit was the perfect vibe for an incredible day. His ability to think on his feet, adapt to any and all situations and keep everything running perfectly made our day easy & effortless.”
