Hi there! I'm Lauren.

I’m a Brisbane-based marriage celebrant with NT roots, a love of beaches, backyards, and waterfalls, and a knack for turning weddings into moments people actually remember. I accidentally stumbled into a career as a wedding celebrant in 2023 when I read at a family wedding, and by 2024 my closest friends had basically drafted me into officiating theirs. Standing at the front, watching them walk down the aisle and glance at me for the signal before getting to tell one of my favourite love stories to all their loved ones, I thought, Yep. This is my jam. And I never looked back - it's taken me to Port Douglas, Byron Bay and everywhere in between!

It makes sense if you know my history. In school leadership roles, I practically lived on the microphone at weekly assemblies. That mix of confidence and connection has followed me into every role since: eldest daughter (well this one was from birth), tennis coach, consultant, mentor, and now (possibly my favourite one yet) professional wedding sidekick. I absolutely LOVE meeting couples and helping to create ceremonies that feel relaxed, joyful, and completely theirs - with me subtly working in the background to make sure all the legal noise is taken care of so you can just be present on your big day.

In every role I’ve had - from consultant to coach to celebrant - I’ve learned the value of focus. When you concentrate on the things you do best and give them your full attention, the result feels thoughtful, polished, and full of care. That’s why I’ve designed three core offerings, each crafted to deliver the kind of ceremony I love most.

• The Short & Sweet: Just the two of you, two witnesses, and the paperwork that makes it official. The Short & Sweet is all about keeping it short, simple, and stress-free — perfect for couples who want the “bare minimum (but make it legal)"

• The Signature: For couples who want to gather their nearest and dearest for something small, personal, and full of heart. Whether it’s a sunset beach, a leafy backyard, a cosy chapel, or an inner-city apartment kitchen, The Signature is all about creating an intimate space where your love story gets all the attention.

• The Storyteller: For couples who want their ceremony to feel deeply personal and community-driven. In The Storyteller, I’ll coach and support a close friend or family member to deliver your introduction and love story, before I step in to complete the legal words. This ceremony is perfect blend of heart, storytelling, and guidance - designed so that your ceremony is told by the people who know you best.

That said, I’m always open to chatting about bespoke ceremonies, weddings or not. If you have a unique idea, I’ll happily have a conversation to see if I have the skills to make it happen!
