About
At Married By A Teddy, I create modern, inclusive, and completely bespoke wedding ceremonies designed to feel unmistakably you. No recycled scripts. No tick-box moments. And absolutely nothing awkward or outdated. Every ceremony is crafted with intention, warmth, and authenticity — because your wedding deserves more than generic words.
Based in Melbourne, I work with couples both locally and internationally, delivering unforgettable ceremonies for destination weddings, international celebrations, and intimate elopements wherever love leads. I specialise in personalised wedding ceremonies for couples who value meaning, connection, and joy — without the cringe. Whether you’re planning a private elopement, a bold non-traditional wedding, or a beautifully understated celebration, I design ceremonies that centre genuine storytelling and emotional connection.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and calm from start to finish. I guide couples through the legal requirements of marriage in Australia, ensuring every ceremony is legally sound while still feeling personal and expressive. From vow support and ceremony structure to music cues and a steady, reassuring presence on the day, I’m with you every step of the way.
Married By A Teddy is proudly LGBTQIA+ inclusive and affirming. I celebrate love in all its forms and am known for creating safe, welcoming spaces where couples and guests feel comfortable, respected, and truly seen. Gender-neutral language, thoughtful ceremony design, and modern values are central to everything I do.
Couples often describe my ceremonies as:
Warm, relaxed, and deeply personal
Professionally delivered, without feeling formal
Thoughtfully written, balancing heart, humour, and sincerity
I offer a range of ceremony styles, including legal-only weddings, fully bespoke ceremonies, destination and adventure weddings, vow renewals, and affirmation ceremonies — all delivered with care, clarity, and confidence.
If you’re looking for a Melbourne celebrant who brings calm energy, sharp organisation, and a whole lot of heart — you’ve found me.
