- Big or intimate: traditional, modern or somewhere in between, however many guests you invite
Wedding Ceremony Services in Sydney
Personalised Civil Ceremonies
Bilingual English and Cantonese Ceremonies
A legal, beautifully personal civil ceremony written around the two of you. See what's included in the ceremony package.
Your vows, readings and legal words delivered in both languages, so grandparents and friends alike feel part of the day. Learn more about bilingual Chinese wedding ceremonies.
Tea Ceremonies
Master of Ceremonies (MC)
One celebrant for both your civil and tea ceremonies, so your traditions flow together smoothly on the day.
I now also host weddings as your Master of Ceremonies, keeping your reception on track with the same warmth your guests felt during the ceremony. Ask about it at your first meeting.

Beach, Winery and Farm Weddings
Just the two of you, or a handful of your closest people. Explore elopement services.
From the sand to the vines, I bring the ceremony to your venue: beach weddings, winery weddings and farm weddings.

Love comes in many forms, and so do families. I'm proud to celebrate all of them.
- LGBTQ+ friendly: same-sex marriage is recognised in Australia, and I'd be delighted to be part of your legal wedding
- Multicultural and interracial families: I understand how much it means to honour two cultures in one ceremony
- Open-minded and flexible: your traditions, your music, your readings, your way

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a wedding celebrant in Sydney cost?
The marriage celebrant cost in Sydney can vary depending on several factors. These include the celebrant’s experience, the type of ceremony you’re planning, the location, travel requirements, and how much personalisation is involved. See the full ceremony package.
Can you conduct a bilingual English and Cantonese ceremony?
Yes. I'm fluent in both, so your vows, readings and legal words can be delivered in English and Cantonese and every guest feels included. Find out more about bilingual ceremonies.
Can you be our MC as well as our celebrant?
Yes. I now also offer Master of Ceremonies services, so the same person can guide you from your vows through to the reception. Mention it when we first meet and I'll include it in your quote.
Can you conduct both our civil and tea ceremonies?
Yes. I can conduct both your civil and tea ceremonies on the same day, so your traditions sit comfortably alongside the legal ceremony.
Do you perform same-sex weddings?
Absolutely. Same-sex marriage is recognised in Australia, and I'd be delighted to be part of your legal wedding.
How far in advance should we book a wedding celebrant in Sydney?
Your Notice of Intended Marriage must be lodged at least one month and no more than 18 months before your wedding, so it's best to get in touch as soon as you have a date. If your date is less than a month away, I can guide you through applying for a shortening of time. Read more about the legal paperwork.
Do you travel outside Sydney?
Yes. I conduct ceremonies in the Hunter Valley, Central Coast, Wollongong, Jervis Bay and other NSW locations by arrangement, with a travel fee quoted upfront.
