HELLO from Matthew
So, you’re engaged! Wooooo!
If you’re looking for a celebrant (and MC - but not essential), hello!
I’m Matthew, someone who is just as excited about your wedding as you are. I pride myself on always being a calm presence for you, ensuring you are comfortable at all times, unique and engaging weddings and just providing a real and memorable experience for you and your guests.
I’ll look after the fun, and you just be you!
WHAT ARE THE GOOD BITS THAT YOU INCLUDE?
Here’s where I can help you create a beautifully fun, organised and warm-hearted wedding day without the stress that can sometimes go with weddings.
Stacks of planning resources (ceremony and reception planning guides and questionnaires, vow writing guide and endless creative ideas)
I’ll actually say hello to both of you on your wedding day prior to the ceremony, no guessing or leaving it up to guests or your photographer. I’m here to absolutely look after you, guide you and make it easy and simple.
I’ll be out of most of your photos as I stand off to the side to tell your story. I won’t be in your entrance or exit shots, ring exchange, kiss or any of the story telling.
I can play your ceremony music through my speakers at no extra cost. No having to pay extra for someone on top of paying your celebrant.
I’ll create a 100% custom ceremony to you. No generic readings, phrases, poems or otherwise.
If you're looking for the one person to navigate your ceremony and reception, I can help you with both.
I have spares of everything (kindle, music, speakers, microphones, cables).
I really do aim for your ceremony to sound like a friend is telling it. I’ll interact with your guests, you and I just genuinely love what I do and would love to work with you!
“Amazing celebrant! From the initial enquiry, Matt understood a lot of what we didn't want and took the time to get to know us well enough to create a ceremony that was so personalised, it seemed like a friend was running it.
Matt had some great ideas that were perfect for us. Think of Matt almost like your wingman for the day, making sure you're ready, pumped and most importantly, married!”

“Matthew is an incredible celebrant, MC and human! He was able to guide and support us through organising an interstate wedding and made sure that we were more excited than stressed!
We are still getting raving comments from our guests about the incredibly accurate and unique ceremony which was truly all about us. I’d do it all again just to work with Matthew again. Highly highly recommend”
CLOE + ANDY
“Short review is fun, wholesome, charismatic, organized and knowledgeable. Not just about ceremonies but the party's that follow. Often with amazing ideas to make it the best night of your life.
His wholesome natural style made our wedding day more comfortable, as if a good friend was running the process. He was a great support for both parties and a calm, warming influence.”
MATTHEW + NICOLA
“I cannot thank Matthew enough for how amazing he made our wedding day! He was so great leading up to the wedding providing us with all the information we needed and ensuring we felt calm. Our ceremony was everything I could have imagined it being and more!
He made us feel calm and also tailored our ceremony exactly to us and made us feel so special. We cannot thank him enough for the best day ever!”
TALIESHA + JACK
“Matthew - Thank you very much for being our marriage celebrant. We were so so happy with our ceremony. We received a lot of compliments on our ceremony and how you told our story, you just made it so wonderful.
Thank you also for the extra work you did including the hug I really needed before the aisle, and above all - the tiny jeep. You really noticed every little detail, and were just amazing to work with from the moment we met through to finalising the ceremony. Thank you! ”
HAILEY + SAM
Did you know?
I just love collaborating and chatting with Josh. Despite the internet, he is a deep thinker and cares a shit load about his couples. It was an honour to work alongside him to bring Wedding Mania together.
All the couples featured on this page are previous weddings we’ve worked together at.
During the week we’ll often will get together for lunch to chat about our kids, life and a little wedding chat also.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHAT MORE?
I’d love to hear more about your wedding plans, a lot about you and see how I can help you have the best day ever and answer any of those questions you may have.
We can easily organise a no-obligation ZOOM or face-to-face if you like. Jump back into the email and send us a reply and we’ll work out a time that suits us both.
Thank you!
