Launceston Wedding Celebrant

A Launceston wedding ceremony that feels unmistakably yours

I'm Josh Withers, a full-time celebrant based in Ranelagh and working across Launceston, the Tamar Valley and Northern Tasmania. Since 2009, I've created more than 2,900 weddings and elopements in 24 countries, each prepared from scratch and delivered naturally.

What's Included

Everything you need for a Launceston ceremony that matters

Since 2009, I've married over 2,900 couples across 24 countries. Here's what Launceston and Northern Tasmania couples get.

  • Custom Ceremony

    Created from scratch for you. No templates, no recycled paragraphs. Your ceremony is a one-time conversation about something important — whether that's at Josef Chromy, Peppers Silo, or Cataract Gorge.

  • Professional Audio

    Bose speakers and Rode microphones. Everyone hears the ceremony clearly at Tamar Valley wineries, riverside venues, or outdoor Northern Tasmania locations, and your videographer gets pristine audio.

  • Legal Authority

    Commonwealth-registered marriage celebrant authorised under the Marriage Act 1961. Also licensed in USA and Canada. Your ceremony will be emotionally resonant and legally solid.

  • Northern Tasmania Coverage

    Based in the Huon Valley, working regularly in Launceston, Tamar Valley, Devonport, and across the North. Travel included in packages.

  • Flexible Planning

    As many conversations as you need — in person in Launceston, video call, whatever works. No unnecessary meetings or homework assignments.

  • 18-Minute Format

    Long enough to be meaningful, short enough to keep everyone present and connected to what matters.

How it works

  • Enquiry

    Check my availability and tell me what you are planning. Personalised ceremonies, destination weddings, and ceremony-and-MC bookings are shaped and quoted around your wedding.

  • Legal paperwork

    At least one month before your wedding, we complete the Notice of Intended Marriage together — in person in Launceston or via video call. I will guide you through it.

  • Ceremony conversations

    Meet in Launceston or video calls to explore your story, values, and vision. I will create a ceremony that reflects who you are as individuals and as a couple.

  • Your wedding day

    I deliver your ceremony with professional audio, calm presence, and no script — creating the moment that anchors your celebration.
