Hi, I'm Josh Withers!
I'm an energetic, millennial male, award-winning Hobart wedding celebrant.
I design authentic, lively, unscripted, concise ceremonies across Hobart and Tasmania that celebrate your exciting journey ahead, not tedious goodbyes to your single days.
Hobart Wedding Celebrant
Since 2009, Josh Withers has officiated ceremonies across Tasmania, mainland Australia, Europe, Northern America, Asia, and New Zealand. Thousands of happy couples, decades of wedding experience as a Hobart wedding celebrant.
A Josh Withers Hobart wedding ceremony is celebrated for being future-oriented; it's not a farewell to your past but an embracing of what's ahead. No reading from scripts or books, just sincere joy celebrating your union in stunning Tasmanian locations.
The Marriage Act of 1961 certifies Josh Withers to perform marriages according to Australian law. As your Hobart wedding celebrant, Josh handles all legal elements for Tasmanian weddings with professionalism and care.
The most common complaint about wedding ceremonies is that guests couldn't hear properly. Josh uses professional Bose speakers and Rode audio equipment so everyone at your Hobart wedding can hear clearly, and your videographer receives excellent audio.
Josh doesn't consider himself a 'cool cat'—that term expired with the '90s—but as your Hobart wedding celebrant, he provides a professionally composed and reassuring presence on your special Tasmanian day.
You don't need numerous meetings and rehearsals. There's no homework or excessive forms to complete. We meet as often as needed for you to feel assured that Josh, as your Hobart wedding celebrant, will deliver beyond your expectations.
My Hobart wedding ceremony approach is influenced by TED Talks, which run for 18 minutes. Their research indicates 18 minutes is the perfect length for an impactful presentation before attention diminishes—ideal for Tasmanian weddings in any season.

"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."

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!"
