Your Faith, Your Way

Creating ceremonies that celebrate both your love and your beliefs

Modern Christian ceremonies

I create ceremonies that beautifully blend your faith with your personal love story. Your ceremony can include meaningful scripture, prayers, and traditions while staying relaxed, fun, and totally you.

Your perfect venue

Whether you're dreaming of a garden ceremony, a beachside celebration, or a beautiful venue, I'll help create a ceremony that honours your faith in your chosen location.

Working with your crew

I collaborate with your photographer and videographer to capture every special moment, ensuring your ceremony photos and video reflect the joy and significance of your day.

Flexible packages

From intimate ceremonies to full-day celebrations including MC services, I offer packages that can be tailored to create your perfect day while keeping your faith at the heart of the celebration.

Planning together

We'll meet as often as needed to create your ceremony, either face-to-face or online. I'll guide you through everything from vow writing to choosing readings that reflect your faith and relationship.

Marriage legals

I'll handle all the legal requirements while creating a ceremony that's true to your beliefs. You need to be 18 or older, not currently married, and we need to lodge paperwork at least a month before.

Booking timeline

Most couples book 9 to 18 months ahead, especially for peak season dates. Get in touch early to secure your date and give us plenty of time to create your perfect ceremony.

International couples

I welcome couples from anywhere in the world who want to celebrate their marriage and faith in Victoria. I'll help you navigate all the requirements to make it happen.

Victorian weather

Melbourne's famous four-seasons-in-one-day means we'll always have a solid wet weather backup plan for your ceremony, so you can relax and enjoy your day whatever the weather.

Words from real brides and grooms

"Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, thanks in large part to our incredible wedding celebrant, Josh Withers. From the moment we met him, we knew we had found someone truly special to officiate our ceremony. Josh's warm and friendly personality instantly put us at ease, and his genuine passion for what he does was evident in every interaction."

Belle

Wedding

"Josh was incredible! In every possible way. The day flowed because of him, there was so much worry taken off of our shoulders and he was always there through whatever needed. On top of that, his professionalism and person ability throughout the day with all guests was amazing. The only celebrant I would recommend"

Ash and Adnan

Wedding

"We were lucky enough to have Josh marry us in Tuscany in June 2024. Josh, you are an incredible wordsmith, are passionate and genuinely love what you do. You felt like an old friend, creating a relaxed and comfortable environment that we will forever be grateful for. We couldn’t think of anyone better to marry us & can’t recommend Josh enough to creating a magical day."
