Southern Highlands Wedding Celebrant
A Southern Highlands ceremony that feels unmistakably yours
I'm Josh Withers, a full-time celebrant creating ceremonies across Bowral, Berrima, Mittagong, Moss Vale and Kangaroo Valley. Since 2009, I've led 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 Southern Highlands ceremony that matters
Since 2009, I've married over 2,900 couples across 24 countries. Here's what Southern Highlands 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 a Bowral winery or a Kangaroo Valley escarpment.
Professional Audio
Bose speakers and Rode microphones. Everyone hears the ceremony clearly at outdoor venues like country gardens, vineyards, and barns, 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.
Travel Included
Bowral, Berrima, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Bundanoon, Kangaroo Valley — travel is included in packages for ceremonies across the Highlands.
Flexible Planning
As many conversations as you need — coffee in the Highlands, 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 matters to you. I'll recommend the right service, and we'll start getting to know each other.
Legal paperwork
At least one month before your wedding, we complete the Notice of Intended Marriage together — in person or via video call. I will guide you through it.
Ceremony conversations
Coffee in Bowral 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.
