About Me

Hello! My name is Steve and I am a professional marriage celebrant in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. As a marriage celebrant, I help couples plan and lead their wedding ceremonies by creating special personalized wedding ceremonies for them. I live in Newcastle on the east coast of Australia and I love this vibrant seaside city. Newcastle has stunning beaches, parks, historic buildings, and vineyards nearby where couples can get married. As a certified marriage celebrant, I meet all requirements to perform legal wedding ceremonies in Australia.

My knowledge of Newcastle helps me recommend the perfect wedding venue for your style. These include beaches, parks, historic sites and vineyards in the Hunter Valley wine region nearby. I have built relationships with many vendors like photographers, florists and planners locally, which allows me to easily coordinate with your other wedding vendors for smooth planning.

FAQs

When should we book a celebrant?

Book your celebrant soon after you choose your wedding date. I recommend at least 12-18 months in advance if possible.

Do you have experience with religious or cultural ceremonies?

Yes! I have done Hindu, Chinese, Catholic, Jewish and other faith based weddings. Please let me know any customs or rituals you wish to include.

How many ceremony planning meetings do we have?

As many as you like! Usually we meet at least twice: First to disuss your ceremony vision and later to review the script and vows.

Do you serve same-sex couples?

Absolutely! I am committed to providing an inclusive, respectful and affirmative experience for all couples.

What if our plans change?

I understand last minute changes happen. I will do my best to accommodate new dates or locations with enough notice.
