A beautiful ceremony is only part of your wedding story.

Planning a wedding is exciting. It’s emotional. And at times, it can feel completely overwhelming.

That’s where I come in.

From the moment you enquire, I become so much more than the person standing at the front on your wedding day. I'm here to guide you through the legalities, keep you organised, answer the questions you didn't even know to ask, help you write your vows, and be a calm, reassuring presence throughout the entire journey.

"She was so helpful throughout the whole planning process. She sent us guides for the ceremony, vow writing and template run sheets. She thought of things we never even would have considered and made the whole planning process so much less overwhelming. Nothing was ever too much trouble."
— Alex & Clare, Caoura Cliffs, NSW

Together, we'll create a ceremony that feels effortless, deeply personal and unmistakably you, while making sure the months leading up to it feel just as enjoyable as the day itself.

Because your wedding deserves more than someone to simply stand at the front.

It deserves someone who'll be in your corner from your very first enquiry until the moment you're walking back down the aisle as newlyweds.

"She became not just our celebrant but our constant through the whole wedding planning process and I cannot thank her enough."
— Matt & Alyssa, The Cove, ACT

The ceremony might be why couples enquire. Feeling completely looked after is why they recommend me.

Your day, my services

Meet Chelsea...

Meet Chelsea...

Hi, I’m Chelsea.

I’m a marriage celebrant and MC, a natural organiser, a storyteller, and someone who genuinely loves being part of life’s biggest moments.

A little Type-A (in the best way), I’m the person who notices the details, keeps things on track, and makes sure you never feel like you’re navigating it all alone.

Because while creating a beautiful ceremony matters, so does the experience getting there.

9th May 2026 — Mr and Mrs Taylor. Twelve years of love, 36 of their favourite people, and a day that felt entirely their own.
One thing I always tell couples is that every celebrant has a different style, approach and way they like to run a ceremony and honestly, that’s such a good thing. Some celebrants love keeping things more traditional. Some are open to non-trad

Real Words From Real Weddings…

  • I cannot thank Chelsea enough for being apart of our special day! It was the best decision we ever made. Leading up to the wedding Chelsea put our worries at ease and all of her communication was always seamless. She truly goes above and beyond. We knew our ceremony was going to be perfect after Chelsea gave us our script, but the way she delivered it was truly something else!!! She told our story perfectly. Chelsea brings the most beautiful calming presence with her and I instantly felt and ease when I saw her on the day. She puts so much love and effort everything she does, and made sure all our questions were answered and that we were happy! She became not just our celebrant but our constant through the whole wedding planning process and I cannot thank her enough. So many of our guests commented on how beautifully executed our ceremony was and how fabulous Chelsea is. There is truly no words to describe how thankful we are for Chelsea!! If you are looking for the best celebrant ever - look no further!!!

  • We cannot recommend Chelsea enough! From our very first phone call we just knew she was the celebrant for us, she has the most genuine, down to earth personality and you can tell straight away that she truly loves what she does and really wants the best for your day. She was so helpful throughout the whole planning process. She sent us guides for the ceremony, vow writing and template run sheets. She thought of things we never even would have considered and made the whole planning process so much less overwhelming. She was also always so quick to reply to our emails no matter what we were asking, which honestly made such a difference. Nothing was ever too much trouble. On the day itself she was absolutely faultless. Well spoken, calm and warm, she really held the whole ceremony together beautifully. She took the time to get to know us as a couple so everything felt so personal and genuine on the day, not generic. So many of our guests commented about how wonderful she was too. We felt so lucky to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to everyone!

  • Chelsea was absolutely amazing as our marriage celebrant!! From the very beginning, she was so warm, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. She really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and brought it to life better than we could have imagined. What we loved most was how on top of everything she was, always quick to reply and full of great ideas and little tips we wouldn’t have even thought of. It made the whole process feel so easy and way less stressful. On the day, Chelsea was calm, organised, and such a grounding presence. She anchored the ceremony beautifully and made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment. We couldn’t recommend her more highly! Thank you so much Chels x

  • We were recommended Chelsea by another celebrant who was already booked for our day and we absolutely struck gold! Chelsea went above and beyond making sure our ceremony and story was conveyed in a style that represented us. We had originally booked her just as our celebrant but with less than 2 weeks to our wedding, our MC had cancelled. Chelsea immediately swept in to save the day, cancelled her plans and whipped up a script within 48hrs to MC for us. She is truely someone who loves love and there to support you at every stage whether it be official celebrant/MC duties, emotional support through a menty-b or hype girl. Thank you Chels! x

  • We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant! From start to finish, Chelsea was professional, organised, and such a calming and supportive presence. She was beautifully presented, punctual, and so attentive to our needs both in the lead-up and on the day itself. She gave us the flexibility to make edits to the ceremony and MC script so it truly reflected us, but honestly, she captured our story and personalities so perfectly from the start. Nothing was ever too much trouble, even with last-minute timing changes, and she handled everything with such grace and warmth. We’re so grateful to have had Chelsea as part of our day – highly recommend!

  • I honestly cannot thank Chelsea enough for being our wedding celebrant. It was extra special having someone I already knew standing up there with us, but she truly went above and beyond to make the whole experience so seamless and stress free. As someone who also runs a business within the wedding industry, I work with a lot of people and I know instantly who I love working with. Chelsea is absolutely one of those people. She made everything feel easy for my highly unorganised self, guiding me step by step, keeping me on track, and taking all the pressure off my shoulders. She has such a warm, genuine presence and created a ceremony that felt perfectly “us” in every way. I feel so grateful that she was such a big part of our day and I couldn’t have imagined anyone else marrying us.

  • We simply can't recommend Chelsea enough as a wedding celebrant! From our very first meeting to the moments just before we walked down the aisle, Chelsea was an absolute dream. She was incredibly supportive, always there to answer our questions and offer guidance, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire planning process. Our ceremony was nothing short of perfect – exactly what we had envisioned and more. Chelsea truly listened to what we wanted and crafted a ceremony that felt so uniquely "us." It was heartfelt, personal, and flowed beautifully, creating an unforgettable experience for both us and our guests. If you're looking for a celebrant who is professional, warm, and dedicated to making your wedding day everything you've dreamed of, look no further than Chelsea. Thank you, Chelsea, for making our day so incredibly special!
