Your story. Told like I’ve known you for years.

Sydney wedding celebrant and MC, from your "I do" to the dance floor.

You'll be standing there (probably gripping each other's hands a little too tight) and then you'll hear your story. The details only you know. The moment you realised. The thing that makes your relationship yours.

One moment your eyes will be stinging. The next, you'll be laughing, and so will everyone else.

You won't be counting down the minutes. You'll be wishing it could last a little longer.

You bring the story. I'll help you tell it.

Signature package:

Celebrant + MC. From "I do" to the dancefloor.

One person who knows you, your story and your people, all day.

I write and deliver your ceremony. Then I stay on as your MC, working with your venue, photographer, videographer and DJ to keep the night moving. Speeches, entrances, the cake, the first dance: handled. You never touch the run sheet.

No handover to a stranger. The feeling from your ceremony just rolls straight into the party.

"Leah was not only our celebrant but also our MC, and she absolutely nailed both roles!"

- Stephanie & Kevin

More than the person with the microphone.

Alongside weddings, I've spent the last 13 years telling stories in TV and digital media. That's where I've learnt how to find the story inside a story, how to hold people's attention, and how to stay calm when the plan changes.

Ten years and 150 couples later, I bring all of that to your wedding. I find the details that make your guests go "that is SO them". I write every ceremony from scratch. I send you the outline 3 to 4 weeks before, then rehearse it for a full week.

The calm you feel on the day isn't an accident. It comes from the work we do together, well before the day.

“Leah is everything you could want in a celebrant. She is professional, warm, down-to-earth, and genuinely cares about making her couples feel comfortable throughout the entire process.”

-Rachel & Cooper

How it works

  1. Get to know you. We meet online, sort the paperwork and talk about how you want it to feel.

  2. Shape it together. I write your ceremony from scratch, then we shape it together. Never a template.

  3. Practise it properly. Your outline arrives 3 to 4 weeks out. I rehearse for a week.

  4. Look after the day. I arrive early, read the room and handle whatever comes up.

  5. Let you be in it. You just get married. Then let's party.

Seven years ago I flew to the Gold Coast to marry a couple and found my own love story on the plane. So yes, I believe in this stuff. Want to meet me properly?
