Marriage

your special occasion
… a day filled with love, happiness and cherished memories.

Gail McGuckin - Marriage Celebrant

Wedding Ceremony

It is important that your wedding ceremony reflects your beliefs, values, traditions and the love you have for one another.
A civil ceremony for Australian couples is a popular choice which will provide you with the flexibility to achieve this goal.

This is the opportunity to tell your love story to your closest friends and family. With loads of experience as a Sydney marriage celebrant, when you appoint me to oversee your special day, you know that you are in safe, capable and creative hands.

Whatever your wishes or dreams, I will make sure that I bring these to life for you!

It’s important to choose a celebrant you feel at ease with so that you can discuss your individual and specific needs in a relaxed way. With an outgoing, friendly and approachable manner, I look forward to working with you to understand what is important to you both, and help set the tone and style of your ceremony.

Together we will design a unique and personalised ceremony which will ensure that your wedding day is not only memorable but truly unforgettable!

I have three different wedding ceremony packages for you to consider:
