As a Melbourne Marriage Celebrant, I’m here to help you create a ceremony that feels genuine, relaxed and unmistakably yours.
Whether you’re planning a grand celebration, an intimate gathering or a simple legal ceremony, I’ll work closely with you to create an experience that reflects your personalities, values and the journey you’ve shared together. Together, we’ll create a ceremony that everyone will remember long after the day has passed.
Some couples have been together for many years while others have found each other more recently. Some couples dream of exchanging vows in front of hundreds of guests while others prefer a quiet ceremony with only their closest family and friends.
Whatever your story, your ceremony should feel like an authentic reflection of who you are.
I take the time to get to know you both, learn what matters most to you and create a ceremony that celebrates your relationship in a way that feels natural, heartfelt and completely personal.
My goal is simple — to help you feel relaxed, supported and excited as you step into married life together.
Choosing your marriage celebrant is one of the most personal decisions you'll make when planning your wedding. When you choose me, you're choosing someone who genuinely cares about creating a ceremony that feels as special as the commitment you're making to one another.
Every ceremony I create is individually written to reflect your story, your personalities and the life you’re building together. Nothing is copied or pulled from a template.
Wedding days can bring a mix of excitement and nerves. With my background in wellbeing and meditation, I bring a calm, grounded presence that helps you feel comfortable and present throughout your ceremony.
From our very first conversation through to lodging your legal paperwork after the ceremony, I’ll guide you through each step so you always know what to expect.
I take pride in being organised, reliable and approachable while creating a relaxed experience that allows you to enjoy every moment of your day.
Compassionate, personalised ceremonies honouring and celebrating a loved one’s life.
Relax any wedding-day nerves as Rita gently guides you to a calm state of wellbeing.
I'll create a unique ceremony designed around your relationship, values and your vision for your wedding day.
Whether you're celebrating with two guests or twenty, I'll help create a beautiful ceremony that feels meaningful and memorable.
If you prefer a simple legal marriage ceremony without any extras, I'll guide you through the legal requirements and deliver a professional, warm ceremony.
Love is love and every couple deserves a ceremony that celebrates their unique story filled with joy, warmth and respect.
Celebrate your journey together by renewing the promises you've made to one another surrounded by family, friends or just the two of you.
We'll begin with a relaxed chat where I can learn more about you, your wedding plans and the kind of ceremony you're dreaming of.
Once you've decided I'm the right celebrant for you, we'll complete the Notice of Intended Marriage and take care of all the legal requirements.
I'll spend time getting to know your story before writing a ceremony that's personal, engaging and true to who you are as a couple.
On the day, I'll arrive prepared and ready to guide you through the ceremony with professionalism, enthusiasm and warmth. I'll help you enjoy the moment and simply focus on each other.
We did it!
Once the wedding celebrations begin, I'll take care of lodging all the required legal documents so your marriage is officially registered.
Getting married involves a few legal requirements, but you don’t have to navigate them on your own. I’ll guide you through everything, including:
• Completing your Notice of Intended Marriage
• Witness requirements
• Identification documents
• Legal wording during the ceremony
• Registering your marriage after your wedding day
I’ll explain everything clearly and make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
I provide marriage celebrant services throughout Melbourne and across Victoria.
Whether you’re planning a wedding in the city, the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, the Dandenong Ranges, the Macedon Ranges or another location, I’d love to be part of your day.
Wherever you plan to have your wedding day, please get in touch.
Many couples book their celebrant 12 to 18 months before their wedding, particularly for popular dates. If your wedding is sooner, please get in touch as I may still have availability.
