Civil Marriage Celebrant
Weddings have changed a lot over the years but one thing that hasn't changed is having someone there to make it all legal. That is where I come in! Apart from the necessary legal parts, my job is to make you feel calm and relaxed (and a little bit excited too) about your ceremony content. This is about you as a couple and what you want to show to those gathered to witness your love.

I want you to be secure in the knowledge that your ceremony will run smoothly and contain just what you want to showcase your commitment, whilst making sure it satisfies all the legal requirements. Please contact me to discuss your preferred wedding date and to make an appointment to meet or have a chat over the phone.

I grew up in south-west Sydney, making the move to Tasmania in 2011 with my family for a lifestyle change. The natural beauty of this state and the warmth of the people that have welcomed us is such an inspiration. I married my husband in 2007 (that's us in the banner picture reaching for the heart!) and we have two wonderful children.
Some couples are shy about declaring their feelings in front of a big group of people. The Intimate Ceremony is aimed at couples wanting just themselves, the celebrant and their two witnesses present, in a registry-style wedding (location of your choice). All legal documentation filled out and lodged with the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
The right to marry in Australia will no longer be determined by sex or gender. It is someone authorised by the government to perform legally binding marriage ceremonies. They are not affiliated with a religious group. They help a couple to put together a ceremony for their wedding day that reflects them as a couple, their beliefs and their wants.

Marnie was our perfect fit in a celebrant. she turned our casual, fun chats about our relationship into an amazing ceremony that suited us perfectly. Marnie was an exceptional professional ever step of the way and I can't recommend her services enough!

Marnie was the best celebrant we could have ever asked for! Super professional and heartfelt for our ceremony, yet still able to laugh and banter with us and our guests, everyone commented on how awesome she was. Marnie was understanding of our requests, and offered great advice when we weren't sure what words to use. She made the process of planning the ceremony simple and enjoyable, and seemed to know what would be just right for us. We would definitely recommend Marnie :)

We were delighted to have Marnie as our celebrant! We couldn't have asked for a more approachable, friendly and down-to-earth person to marry us. We felt a bit intimidated about organising the ceremony, but Marnie made it easy and simple for us to understand and craft. Thanks again for your help in making our ceremony special and also fun!

Thanks for being such an important part of our wedding Marnie, and for doing an amazing job!! Everything ran smoothly, all thanks to you :). Sonia and I were both a bit nervous, but you helped us get through it all - we are both very grateful to you for that :). Your suggestions were all very helpful and all proved to be a hit, and the atmosphere you helped to create at the ceremony was fantastic. I highly recommend Marnie if you are looking for a celebrant!

Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding day, especially for your patience and extra effort in helping us do it all interstate! You were always there when we needed advice and knew just what to say to keep us calm and laughing. The ceremony you created for us was a true reflection of who we are and we have received nothing but positive feedback from all who attended. If we ever do it again, you'll be our first call :)
