The celebrant

Hi, I'm Ricky.

I never imagined I'd become a marriage celebrant. It started when a couple of mates thought it would be funny if I married them, and it turned out they were onto something.

What I've come to love most is hearing how people found each other. The funny stories, the unexpected twists and the little moments that somehow led to standing together on one of the biggest days of their lives.

It's a real privilege to turn those moments into a ceremony that feels personal, relaxed and true to who you are.

Ricky was the perfect celebrant for our 10th anniversary vow renewal. He created a beautiful narrative of how we met and our journey together, blending heartfelt moments with just the right touch of humour. His easygoing nature made the whole experience so personal and stress-free.

Ricky was great on our big day. He met with us beforehand and planned our ceremony to sound like us and reflect our personalities. He was fun, kind and easy to deal with, and gave us such a special, personal and joyous ceremony.

Ricky's approach was extremely personal, involving us at every step. On the day he stepped it up with creativity and a touch of humour we loved, weaving in stories he'd gathered from our loved ones. If you're after professionalism, honesty and a real personal touch, we highly recommend him.
