My philosophy: The marriage ceremony can be, and should be, the best part of your wedding.

Celebrant Information

What you get with Josh Withers

Since 2009, Josh Withers has created weddings across Europe, Northern America, Asia, New Zealand, and in every Australian state and territory. Thousands of happy couples, decades of wedding experience.

Unique Approach

A Josh Withers wedding ceremony is renowned for being forward-facing; it is not a funeral for your single life but a celebration of what lies ahead. No reading from a script or book, just pure, unadulterated fun celebrating the two of you.

Authorised By Law

The Marriage Act of 1961 gives Josh Withers the authority to marry people according to the law in Australia. In the USA and Canada Josh also holds the legal authority to marry.

Professional Sound Equipment

The most common complaint about celebrants and wedding ceremonies is that no-one could hear the ceremony. Josh uses professional Bose speakers and Rode audio gear so that everyone in the ceremony can hear, and your videographer gets great audio for the video.

Coolest Cat In The Room

Josh doesn't identify as a 'cool cat'—mainly because it's not the '90s anymore—but his role is to be a professionally calm and confident voice and friend on your wedding day.

Easy Wedding Planning

You don't need to have so many meetings and rehearsals. There's no homework or extra forms for you to fill out. We meet as many times as we both need for you to feel comfortable that Josh can meet your expectations.

Quick and Easy

My ceremony length and style is inspired by TED Talks which are 18 minutes long. Their researchers believe that 18 minutes is how long an important and world-changing talk should go for before everyone starts falling asleep.

The easy way to get married

Step 1: Booking

Check your wedding date availability, choose a package, and complete booking form.

Step 2: Pre-marriage legal paperwork

Before one month before your wedding there's paperwork required to be completed called the Notice of Intended Marriage and I complete this with you either in person or over a video call.

Step 3: Plan your ceremony

Over a coffee or a video call communicate your expectations and figure out how people like you get married in a personal and fun way.

Get married at your wedding!

Reviews from real brides and grooms

"First of all, a huge thank you for this unforgettable wedding. We are so glad we had Josh Withers as our Celebrant at Uluru. Before the wedding he was available to us at almost any time of the day or night. He guided us with a lot of patience in far away Germany through all the forms we had to fill out for our wedding. He also took time to address our fears and concerns that come with making such a decision. The wedding day itself was absolutely wonderful."

Bernie & Christiane

Eloped at Uluru

"Josh is a truly wonderful celebrant who will make you feel at ease from your first meeting. Josh has an exceptional way with words and delivered the ceremony of our dreams. It was heart felt and intimate (exactly what we wanted) and I would recommend him to anyone wanting a ceremony that is the opposite of cooker cutter style. His words come straight from the heart (and are not read from off an iPad!) and having him as our celebrant was the perfect intro into marriage. Forever grateful we chose Josh!"
