Australia’s fairness and diversity has finally reached a commendable standard with the legalisation of same sex marriage. The new law allows everyone to rightfully express their love, and has opened the door to an abundance of ways to celebrate this union.

Marriage celebrations are undoubtedly special for everyone involved. The place, the atmosphere and the people all contribute to the success of your day. One of the most important components of the celebration to consider is the marriage celebrant. The individual who marks the moment of commitment and seals your love, is someone you’ll never forget.

We’re proud to place two outstanding, local celebrants in the spotlight. Toni Collett and Lesley specialise in marrying same sex couples, and can make your dream celebration a reality.
