Tasmanian Wedding Celebrant
A Tasmanian wedding ceremony that feels unmistakably yours
I'm Josh Withers, a full-time celebrant based in Ranelagh and working statewide. Since 2009, I've created more than 2,900 weddings and elopements in 24 countries — from Hobart and Launceston to Cradle Mountain and the East Coast.
What's Included
Everything you need for a Tasmanian ceremony that matters
Since 2009, I've married over 2,900 couples across 24 countries. Here's what Tasmanian 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 MONA, Wineglass Bay, or a backyard in Hobart.
Professional Audio
Electro-Voice EVERSE 8 speakers and Rode microphones. Everyone hears the ceremony clearly at outdoor venues like Frogmore Creek, The Agrarian Kitchen, or windswept beaches, 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.
Statewide Coverage
Based in Ranelagh in the Huon Valley, working across all of Tasmania. Hobart, Launceston, East Coast, Cradle Mountain, Bruny Island — travel included in packages.
Flexible Planning
As many conversations as you need — coffee in Hobart, 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. No one's checking their watch.
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 if you are near Hobart, or via video call. I will guide you through it.
Ceremony conversations
Coffee in Hobart 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.
Britt and I live in Tasmania’s Huon Valley with our three kids, and Tasmania is home. I bring that local connection—and more than 15 years of experience—to weddings across the island.
