LGBTQ+ Marriage - Same-Sex Marriage Celebrant Sydney

As an authorised marriage celebrant appointed by the Attorney-General of Australia, I’m proud to officiate LGBTQ+ and same-sex marriages across Sydney and beyond. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a vibrant celebration surrounded by friends and family, or a bilingual ceremony that honours your shared culture, I’ll ensure your day is personal, inclusive, and full of joy.

Every ceremony I create is a reflection of you — your values, your humour, your journey together. With years of experience conducting personalised weddings for couples of all backgrounds, I bring warmth, care, and professionalism to every celebration.

Celebrating Equality & Connection

Since the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Australia, more couples have been empowered to celebrate their union openly — and it’s an honour to be part of these milestones. I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that feels natural, authentic, and true to their story. Whether you identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, or anywhere on the spectrum of love, your ceremony will be designed with complete respect, acceptance, and celebration of your identity.

As your LGBTQ+ marriage celebrant in Sydney, I offer:

Compassionate, judgement-free guidance from start to finish
Support for all gender identities and pronoun preferences
Ceremonies that reflect your values and unique dynamic as a couple
Options for bilingual (English and Cantonese) ceremonies for multicultural families

Every word, every reading, and every symbolic moment will be tailored to match your love — because no two love stories are ever the same.

She is incredibly experienced, organised, and always on time — someone you can truly rely on for your big day. Betty was so thoughtful with every little detail, often reminding us of things we hadn’t even thought about and offering helpful suggestions along the way. What we really appreciated was how she customised everything to suit us — making our ceremony feel personal, meaningful, and unique to our story. Her professionalism and calm presence made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Betty to any bride or groom-to-be — you’ll be in the best hands! 💛

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Betty as our celebrant for a same sex wedding in Sydney.  As we had many guests from overseas and for whom English was not their first language, we needed someone that could speak both English and Cantonese and Betty certainly delivered. Betty was reliable, efficient and on time to every single appointment we had, and put a lot of effort into getting to know us so she could deliver a personalised ceremony for us and our guests. Her organisation and attention to detail was really impressive. Any switches between languages felt seamless and natural and the personalisations added a really warm touch. I would not hesitate to recommend Betty to any couple looking for a celebrant.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure of having Betty as our wedding celebrant for both our tea ceremony and civil ceremony, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She conducted everything beautifully in bilingual, and took the time to tailor her welcoming speech and the entire ceremony around our personal story and journey as a couple. From the initial planning to the post-wedding follow-up, she guided us through the entire legal and ceremonial process with clarity and warmth. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and personal touch made the day even more meaningful for us and our families. We are so grateful and would happily recommend her to any couple looking for a celebrant who truly cares.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner (now wife!) found Betty after a few nights of desperate emails and searching for a celebrant. We have a diverse and multilingual set of families, and for Betty to provide bilingual services in Cantonese, it was an absolute plus. Despite the very short turnaround, which was totally on us as an oversight, Betty was polite, patient and absolutely professional every step of the way. From our first online meeting, through to our in-person, in-depth conversation, Betty was able to gather the essence of our relationship and make our wedding day a spectacular success. I recommend her services to anyone, not just those in the Cantonese-speaking community. Her clear and calm demeanour through the ceremony was fantastic and she was praised by our guests. Thank you Betty! Monica and Francis

From the first meeting, they understood exactly what we were looking for – something simple, yet meaningful. The ceremony was beautiful and personal, and we felt so comfortable throughout the whole process. She made sure everything was smooth and stress-free, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wonderful celebrant for a small ceremony!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so pleased to have Betty as our marriage celebrant. Picking a celebrant was the first thing we did and one of the hardest parts of our wedding planning. After reaching out a few celebrants, we knew Better would be the best choice. From the beginning, she was incredibly attentive and took the time to get to know us as a couple. She was so professional with her guidance and reminders throughout the whole process, providing a lot of helpful information. Betty has been so prompt, professional, warm, friendly and ready to help at every turn. She delivered a beautiful and heartful ceremony that truly reflected our love story. We are incredibly grateful to Betty for making our wedding so special and memorable. We highly recommend Betty to anyone. Thank you, Betty, for being such an important part of our wedding day.

We needed to pursue a shortening of time and Betty was so punctual and worked hard to make it happen. If anyone is looking for a bilingual celebrant, I cant recommend Betty enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Betty for a wedding in both English and Cantonese, and it made all the difference for our guest experience. Older relatives who were not as fluent in English felt honoured, and in turn they were more engaged and emotionally invested in the beautiful wedding ceremony. Betty was able to turn our couple's story into a compelling narrative, which goes to show the amount of love and care she invested in her brides and grooms. Would highly recommend Betty to couples dreaming of a romantic, bespoke wedding ceremony. -First Sunday, Wedding Planner

LGBTQ+ Marriage Celebrant Services

As your celebrant, I provide a full suite of services designed to make your experience stress-free and meaningful:

Wedding Ceremonies

Your ceremony is the heart of your wedding day — and it should feel like you. Together, we’ll craft a bespoke ceremony script that captures your personalities, your journey, and your hopes for the future. From writing your vows to setting the tone (romantic, playful, traditional, or modern), I’ll guide you every step of the way.

Commitment Ceremonies

For couples who may not wish to formalise their union legally but still want to celebrate their love, I offer heartfelt commitment ceremonies that feel every bit as special as a wedding. These are perfect for reaffirming your bond in front of loved ones or as part of a destination event.

Vow Renewals

For married couples wanting to renew their vows, I’ll help you design a touching ceremony that reflects how your relationship has grown. Many LGBTQ+ couples choose this to celebrate anniversaries or to reaffirm their vows post-marriage equality.

Planning Your Ceremony

Your journey begins with a relaxed, no-obligation consultation where we’ll discuss your vision for the day. You’ll have the chance to share your story, choose readings or rituals that feel right, and decide how you’d like your ceremony structured.

Once you’re ready to proceed, I’ll help you with:

Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM): Completing and lodging the legal form under the Marriage Act.
Personalised Script Writing: Crafting every line to match your relationship.
Optional Rehearsal: To ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.
The Wedding Day: I’ll officiate your ceremony with warmth and calm confidence, guiding you through every moment.
Marriage Registration: Your marriage will be lodged with the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages (BDM) within three business days. I can also assist in ordering your Official Marriage Certificate.

From start to finish, my goal is to make the process effortless — so you can focus on what truly matters: celebrating your love.

Creating Inclusive Ceremonies that Reflect You

No matter how you envision your day — barefoot on the beach, surrounded by family in a formal venue, or under the stars in your backyard — your ceremony will be tailored to your personalities and beliefs.

I take pride in crafting moments that honour who you are as individuals and as a couple. From your chosen pronouns to the language used in your vows, inclusivity is woven into every aspect of your celebration.

Couples often choose to include:

Family readings or cultural rituals
Music that represents their journey
Symbolic gestures like handfasting or unity candles
Personalised storytelling that makes guests laugh, cry, and smile

Your wedding is more than a formality — it’s a celebration of authenticity, courage, and love.
