Marriage Celebrant
About Me...
Congratulations!
My own wedding day was the best day of my life and I want to be able to spread that joy and help you to create your own special day in a way that represents you.
Based in Canberra, I am a mother, a wife and a teacher of littles who make my day job a joy. But, weddings are my passion. Being surrounded by people who are willing to dedicate their lives to each other and make a lifelong commitment of love and respect gives me such hope. I adore seeing the laughter, smiles and love.
It is my intent is to make you feel comfortable and together we can form the most magical day for you both in a fun and fresh way. Whether your vision for your ceremony is small and simple, fun and creative, laidback and casual or formal and traditional, we can tailor your ceremony to reflect your story, because this is your day! Your wedding day shouldn’t be stressful, in fact it should be the opposite! You should enjoy every second of the planning and the day. Let me help you create the wedding that you can remember together for the rest of your lives.

Testimonials
Peta and Alex
Lauren is incredible! From the moment we met, we knew that she was the right celebrant for us! She took the time to get to know us, allow us to get to know her, and created a wonderful and personalised ceremony! Having Lauren be part of our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made; she spoke beautifully; was engaging with our guests; and went the extra mile to travel to our destination wedding. All of our guests said that Lauren did an amazing job, and we think she did to! We cannot recommend Lauren enough!
Thank you!
Luke and Renee
Lauren’s vibrant personality and attention to detail ensured our ceremony ran smoothly and was tailored to exactly what we had envisioned. We could not fault the lead up and planning process for our big day. Lauren was more than happy to meet with us as many times as we needed, her communication was thorough and she was willing to share her bank of resources to help guide us. We would highly recommend Lauren to anyone and everyone looking for a friendly and efficient wedding celebrant. Many of our guests commented on how great she was.”

Meeting Lauren for the first time was a breath of fresh air. She has such a beautiful, bubbly and warm personality. We felt extremely comfortable from the beginning. She explained everything to us and made the experience so relaxing with zero stress. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and this was all credit to Lauren. I could not recommended Lauren enough. She provided a 100/10 service and I cannot thank her enough for this.
