Hi, I’m Michael.
It’s great to meet you.

A bit about me.
I’ve been performing ceremonies - weddings and funerals - for my fellow Canberra locals for over four years now, and I count myself lucky to have the honour to stand next to people as they mark the significant days in their lives.
I have a keen eye for detail so that all of the little things (and often the very important things) don’t get overlooked. So whether you’re farewelling a loved one, or welcoming a new one into your family, I promise to be your relaxed, respectful, and reliable companion for the days you want to remember everything else.
If I sound like I could be a good fit for your next milestone, let’s chat more.

What my clients say.
“Thank you Michael for the professional yet relaxed and easy going way you arranged and performed our ceremony. Your good humour and open nature helped make our wedding a very personal and genuine one. We were looking for a celebrant who could do this job without sounding like a valentine’s day card, and you did that spectacularly!”
Rebecca & Luke
“Michael, from Cheree and I, can I say what a wonderful job you did as celebrant at our wedding and MC at our reception. The feedback we've had about your work has been nothing short of sensational. The extra effort you went to before our special day, made it even better (even if I was the butt of some jokes created from that extra effort). We would both have no hesitation in recommending you to any couple thinking of tying the knot. Thank you so much. “
Scott & Cheree
“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for officiating at our wedding . Your professionalism along with your sense of humour was a perfect match for us from start to finish. From your pre-wedding organisation to how relaxed you made us feel on the day, we couldn't have asked for more. We would highly recommend you to others searching for the perfect celebrant.”

Weddings

Events
Three significant milestones, that naturally come with a lot of emotion. They’re the days that you want to sit back and take in what’s going on, but also know that someone is steering the ship.

Why I’m a good choice.
I’m funny, but I take my job seriously. I turn up on time, but I know when to leave. I think of the small things, but I see the big picture. I let you be sad, but help create positive memories. I laugh with you, but also remind you to laugh at yourself.
And most importantly, I say what I mean, and mean what I say.
I’d love to be the one who stands beside you at your next milestone. Let’s chat about what’s on the horizon for you.

Thank you so much being a part of our wedding. You are so easy going and accommodating, you took so much stress out of the day, but most importantly thank you for being able to laugh along with us and sometimes even at us.
