Hobart Christian Wedding Celebrant
A modern Christian wedding ceremony, grounded in faith and created around you
I'm Josh Withers, a Commonwealth-registered marriage celebrant with a Pentecostal background and Bible college training. I create Christian ceremonies across Hobart, the Huon Valley and Tasmania, shaped around your faith, Scripture, prayer and personal vows.
What's Included
Everything you need for a Christian ceremony that matters
Since 2009, I've married over 2,900 couples across 24 countries — creating Christian ceremonies grounded in faith and shaped around each couple.
Theological Foundation
Bible college-trained with Pentecostal roots and a charismatic worship background, bringing a thoughtful theological foundation to your ceremony.
Custom Scripture Integration
Bible verses woven naturally into your ceremony, selected around your faith journey, relationship and the promises you are making.
Professional Audio
Electro-Voice EVERSE 8 speakers and Rode microphones for outdoor Tasmanian venues. Everyone hears the vows and scripture clearly at Huon Valley vineyards or Mount Wellington ceremonies, and your videographer gets pristine audio.
Legal Authority
Authorised under the Marriage Act 1961. Also licensed in USA and Canada. Your Christian ceremony will be emotionally resonant, biblically grounded, and legally solid.
Flexible Faith Expression
From traditional liturgy to spirit-led spontaneity — the ceremony reflects your actual faith practice, not what you think a Christian wedding 'should' look like.
Contemporary Format
Usually 18-20 minutes, shaped by modern worship and years of professional speaking — long enough to honour God, short enough to keep everyone present and engaged.
How it works
Enquiry
Check my availability and tell me what you want the ceremony to hold. I'll recommend the right service, and we'll start exploring your faith story together.
Legal paperwork
At least one month before your wedding, we complete the Notice of Intended Marriage together — in person in Hobart or via video call. I will guide you through it.
Faith & ceremony conversations
Coffee in Hobart or video calls to discuss your faith journey, theology preferences, and vision. I will create a Christian ceremony that reflects who you are as believers and as a couple.
Your wedding day
I deliver your ceremony with professional audio, calm presence, and spirit-led authenticity — creating the moment that anchors your celebration before God.

About Josh
One wedding changed the course of my life
I grew up in a family with more divorces than couples. For a long time, I thought the easiest way to go through life was never to get married—then I could never get divorced.
Then, at a family wedding about 20 years ago, I saw marriage differently: not as a promise that life would always be easy, but as a meaningful choice two people make about how they want to live. That wedding changed my point of view—and the direction of my life. I left breakfast radio and became a celebrant.
Britt and I live in the Huon Valley with our three kids, so Hobart is genuinely local for me. I bring that connection—and more than 15 years of experience—to Christian ceremonies across Hobart and southern Tasmania.
