Canberra Celebrants
Canberra Celebrants offers a fun, relaxed, and cherished wedding experience to couples living in and around Canberra. With our love for the capital and passion for genuine care for our couples, we work hard to reflect your relationship in a ceremony that is as unique as you are. From the simplest of backyard ceremonies with the legal elements only, through to the full shebang, we stay flexible and respectful of the way you want to say "I do".
Services
We're a group of local celebrants who are totally in love with the wedding experience. We love the tradition, the sentiment, and the coming together of two people who love each other. We believe that no matter the length or number of guests, a wedding ceremony should be a time to reflect on your relationship and the new adventure you're embarking on.
Ultimately, we're here to get you married. However, we understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to their privacy and venue. Simple & Sweet: Invite a few friends around, and be married by the time the wine is chilled. Complete: A more traditional, full ceremony. We'll guide you through the process that results in a completely tailored ceremony experience for you and your loved ones.
First, we'll organise a no obligation meeting to see if Canberra Celebrants is a good fit for you. We'll chat about your plans for your ceremony, discuss any questions you may have, and get to know each other a little better. If you're happy to go ahead from there, we'll arrange a time to meet and get your paperwork started.
Check out our take on Traditions, Serenades, Promises, Hidden Gems around town, ways to Calm your wedding nerves, being Flexible and many more to come. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming. So we've put together a list to help you find your way forward, and start prioritising the things that will make your day amazing.

Christine was an exceptional celebrant. We were coming from Sydney so our first meeting with Christine was via video call, she provided us with all the info we needed and made everything seem clear and easy. She then met with us the day before the wedding to see the venue, talk us through the process and so we could sign the relevant paper work.
On the day she was warm and professional, she talked to our family as they arrived and even combatted the dragon boat racing nearby as she hosted the ceremony.
She is the celebrant you want. Her experience and the relaxed atmosphere she creates puts you

Michael Bower was my best man in 1989.
He was sensational then.
He's better now.

Michael was an amazing celebrant. He was warm, personable, and very cool under pressure. Our wedding day had a number of hiccups due to weather (change of ceremony location, issues with the venue-supplied microphone), but Michael took it all in his stride and handled it with aplomb. He handled the issues so seamlessly and with humour, in a way that… made everyone forget about it straight away.
Michael was funny and calm. He went above and beyond to help us on the day, keeping us on track and putting us at ease throughout the ceremony.
He was very informative, and took care of all the boring

Looking for a celebrant? Stop the search - Michael is your man!
We cannot recommend Michael enough. When our original celebrant cancelled a few months before our wedding we were stressed and concerned, although our first phone call with Michael put us at ease. We knew we were in great hands. In hindsight we are so glad it turned out this way.
… Michael made wedding planning easy and relaxed. The ceremony we created together felt completely customised and reflected our relationship perfectly. He has great ideas, is organised, punctual and great at communicating. He is reliable, even working

Michael is a fantastic celebrant and a warm friendly person. Michael was always available to discuss our ceremony and was happy to add our personal touches. Michael made us feel like we were being married by a friend.

Michael did a fantastic job with our wedding. He was easy to contact throughout the whole process and gave a fantastic introduction to who we were on the day. The guests loved him and many commented on the fact that he set an awesome tone for the whole wedding. Couldn't recommend a celebrant any more than him. Thanks again Michael!

Christine married us back in March this year and she was truly amazing, we wanted a very small simple wedding and she delivered just that. it was very personal by adding in some funny memories.

Christine was a calm, collected and very professional celebrant. She guided us through the process while allowing us the flexibility to have the ceremony that we really wanted and made it so so easy for us. She had tissues ready for when I or my bridesmaids teared up and knew what to say to make me laugh when I couldn't get my words out. We couldn't have asked for a better person to do the job. Thanks Christine!

Christine was the celebrant for our wedding in January 2018, we knew as soon as we met she would be great. Christine listened and knew instinctively what we wanted and she delivered it just perfectly we couldnt recommend her highly enough - thanks again.

From the first day, Christine took care of us, got to know us and helped us create a beautiful ceremony.
She easily guided us through the legal structure of a wedding ceremony but let our personalities shine through when it came to the vows and the askings etc.
It would not have been our special day without her calming presence!
Thanks Christine!

Christine went above and beyond to help us 'seal the deal'. We married in Alice Springs in April 2016. She was flexible, generous and above all humorous! We could not have asked for a more perfect celebrant.
