Creating Memories
Every wedding I perform is special to me. Every couple I meet is different and beautiful in their own way. Officiating ceremonies is an extremely important responsibility. I'm always professional and well presented for every wedding I do. There is only one thing that I ask of my brides and grooms to-be... HAVE FUN! You've spent all this time planning and you've passed your credit card over the counter more times than you could've possibly imagined. Your ceremony is the first chance you get to really enjoy each others company as you start a lifetime journey together. Smile, Laugh, Love. Let me do the rest.
Ways I Contribute to your Special Day
FUN! FUN! FUN!
VERY IMPORTANT!
I'm here to help you celebrate your love for each other, the commitment you're making to each other and the journey you're embarking on. This day should reflect this. It should be FUN! Heaps of Fun! It's ok, in fact, it's encouraged that you laugh, smile and enjoy every moment of your ceremony. I will help you do just that.
PA SYSTEM
RELIABLE, CLEAR, AWESOME
Everyone in the room should be able to not only see but also hear your ceremony take place. And hear it they shall! That's why I don't skimp on my PA system. I have a state of the art BOSE system that would put a sentient robot to shame... well, not really. But it's GOOD! Really Good! You'll never hear Great Aunt Beryl screaming out "What'd he say?!" at any point in your ceremony.
PASSION
THIS JOB IS A PLEASURE
There's nothing worse than getting married by someone who is just 'going through the motions' and doesn't have a drive or passion for the role you've bestowed upon them. I have a great deal of respect for your day and will do everything in my power to make sure you love every minute of it.
TAILORED TO YOU
A WHOLE LOT OF YOU!!!
There's one thing I believe everyone wants from their wedding... They want it to feel special. Really special! Something that is different and unique to you. Your family and friends should walk away thinking 'that was so... them!'. I will work with you to tailor your wedding so it is just that, yours!
All Weddings!!!
I'd vote YES every day of the week. It was such a breath of fresh air when Australia made history and allowed same sex couples to wed. It's my pleasure and privilege to celebrate the love of all people. The very first wedding I officiated was a same sex couple. I will be the perfect celebrant for your special day.

Megan & Kyra Geoghegan
The people think I'm alright...
We got married on 31/10/21 and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day! It was honestly a dream come true
Ben is a huge supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community and made sure that my now wife and I were confident and comfortable every step of the way! Ben was a showman, he was open, honest, friendly and always up for a chat-all I had to do was shoot him a text! We knew from the very beginning Ben was the celebrant for us!
He is well organised and professional whilst still bringing a bit of fun! He was open to any idea we threw at him and even encouraged us to come up with some our own flairs!
Without a doubt in the world I am proud to say that Ben is truely the best out there!
Thanks so much for marrying us - LAUREN McGOWAN
We were so happy with our ceremony with Ben. Would highly recommend him!! The lead up to the event was super easy and he made us feel relaxed through the whole process. During our ceremony we had some unexpected distractions with the Gold Coast air show but he handled it professionally and with humour and it ended up being a very fun and memorable ceremony. Lot's of family committed on how great Ben was.

Ben was amazing ! Such a great guy and easy to talk to and listens to what you want for your special day , the day was perfect and Ben was a big part of that so I highly recommend Ben as a marriage celebrant.

Where do I even begin to describe the amazing Ben. Our wedding day was on the first day of Queensland Lockdowns Saturday the 31st of July, 2021. Ben was the first person to contact me to advise of what was happening and already had a solution worked out for us. He could not help enough on our special day and in truth, Ben was the absolute saving grace of our day. Not only was he kind, supportive, and professional he also catered the experience completely to us. Brides and grooms need look any further than Ben. I truly cannot find words descriptive enough of how fantastic he was on our day, in the lead up and even after to touch base again. It truly felt like we had a friend standing at the alter with us on our special day. Thank you Ben, you exceeded every expectation I could have even dreamed of for a celebrant. I truly do hope our paths cross again one day 😀
5 stars isn't even enough! ♥️ - JESSICA YOUNG
Immense thanks to Ben for officiating our wedding! He was the utmost professional from our first contact to the finalisation of our paperwork after our ceremony. Ben was thoughtful, encouraging and relaxed, and was a pleasure to work with. His naturally easy-going style carried our ceremony perfectly from start to finish. Having been to so many weddings we were so pleased with our choice in celebrant!

Ben was awesome from the start. On the day he went with our disorganised selves and we had an amazing ceremony. Can't speak better of him.
