Sydney Wedding Celebrant
A Sydney wedding ceremony that feels unmistakably yours
I'm Josh Withers, a full-time celebrant based in Tasmania and working regularly across Sydney, the Blue Mountains and the Northern Beaches. 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 Sydney ceremony that matters
Since 2009, I've married over 2,900 couples across 24 countries. Here's what Sydney and NSW 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 a Sydney harbour venue or a Blue Mountains estate.
Professional Audio
Electro-Voice EVERSE 8 speakers and Rode microphones. Everyone hears the ceremony clearly at outdoor venues like rooftop bars, harbour foreshores, or mountain clifftops, 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
Sydney CBD, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands, Northern Beaches, Inner West — travel is included in packages for ceremonies across NSW.
Flexible Planning
As many conversations as you need — coffee in Sydney, video call, whatever works. No unnecessary meetings or homework assignments.
Short & Sweet Ceremonies
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 in Sydney or via video call. I will guide you through it.
Ceremony conversations
Coffee in Sydney 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.

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.
For over 15 years, I’ve performed weddings across Sydney and New South Wales. I bring that experience to every ceremony while making sure the words and the moment still belong unmistakably to the two of you.
