Hi, I’m Marina

A multi-talented celebrant, with exceptional attention to detail, who’s sure to make your life easier on your special day.

It is my commitment to you that I will make your day memorable and remain stress-free while still having fun. The ceremonies I write are all unique and personal, as I develop them from time spent getting to know you, the couple, and your story. This genuine and individualised approach connects and moves all present at the ceremony, making your day a very special day to remember.

It’s as easy as…

1

Give me a shout!

Let’s meet up and see how we click. I’ll explain the process and the legal side. Ask me anything you want, like seriously anything!

2

We’ll plan your wedding!

We meet again to plan your wedding, I actually write a lot of it on the spot while we’re together, it’s more fun that way!

3

Let’s get this show on the road!

I’ll send you through a ceremony in the weeks leading up to the wedding to have a final look over, then it’s show time!

Kind words…

  • Marina was our celebrant for our 30th Wedding Anniversary where we renewed our wedding vows which was at our home in front of our 4 adult children . It was a surprise for them and Marina was fantastic advising me of the best way to tackle this special moment . Her care to detail was amazing and her real interest in us as a couple was so touching . Nothing was a bother to her and the actual ceremony was a moment that I will never forget. Her words were meaningful and from the heart and all the family were so moved including my beautiful husband which this day was about our love for each other . Thank you Marina for being apart of a truly special day and for all your help in creating a memorable ceremony.

    We were incredibly lucky to have Marina as our wedding celebrant. She was there for us through the whole journey when we had no idea what to do and she put together a beautiful ceremony that captured us so well. Covid stirred our plans up a bit and Marina was super accommodating for us, and she has the most wonderful warm and caring nature. Can’t recommend Marina enough ?

    Marina was the celebrant at my wedding. She took the time to get to know my husband and I. Marina understood that Mark and I aren’t completely serious people so made our ceremony fun and had not only Mark and I laughing but our guests as well. Marina is professional and thorough. I cant recommend her enough! Thank you for the perfect ceremony Marina!
