Dee Wild
Queer and Neurodivergent Marriage Celebrant based in Melbourne.
Hello, my name is Dee, my pronouns are She/Her and I am a Queer and Neurodivergent Marriage Celebrant based in Melbourne and Geelong, Victoria. I am a Storyteller. A Maker of Dresses. And a lover of LOVE and Prosecco.
As a celebrant, my approach, by asking you loads of questions, over coffees or drinks, is to create a ceremony that most reflects the two of you and your love story.
I’ll be there to enable and encourage you to ditch the traditions that don’t resonate with you, and to embrace or enhance the traditions that do resonate with you both. All with loads of enthusiasm!
Weddings come in all different sizes, budgets and details, and I am a big fan of embracing the type of celebration that most excites you.
It might be just the two of you, two witnesses and myself.
Maybe, it’s a group of your favourite people, loads of good food and wine celebrating over a weekend away.
Or maybe you are having a big celebration, with all the Bells and Whistles.
I love being part of every type of marriage celebration, so, tell me about your plans!
Together we can create a ceremony that suits it perfectly.
I can’t wait to meet you both and hear your love story.

“Marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of two PEOPLE to the exclusion of all others..”
We fought very hard for the above sentence to be made legally binding in this country. I believe that we honour those that fought so hard for our right to be seen and recognised, by celebrating our relationships in ways that are true to us.
By choosing to surround ourselves with our own personal communities and our broader Queer* / LGBTIQA+ communities.
By choosing a Vendor Team and Colleagues who not only accept, but celebrate us.
Inclusivity is very important for me. I never want anyone at a wedding that I am involved in to feel excluded, unwelcome, uncomfortable or othered. I strongly believe that is no excuse for non-inclusive language on your wedding day.
What is most important is including everyone by using inclusive languages, by affirming your pronouns and titles and mostly, by calling you by your name!
Inclusivity is about so much more than gender and sexual identity. And even more important than being inclusive, I am affirming of your love, your relationship and your families.
People living with disabilities, both visible and invisible, are often made to feel less included at a wedding.
Those with larger bodies, or bodies that move in different ways to what we are told is acceptable, often feel unseen or uncomfortable in planning and being at weddings.
Our skin colours may be different and our names pronounced differently.
Celebrating you as a couple is what is fundamentally important to me. Encouraging you to share your stories with me, helps me to best support you both in the lead up to your wedding and on your wedding day.
You and your community matter to me.
As a gay woman, a Lesbian and proud member of the Queer / LGBTIQA+ community, I get it!
I get that life can feel like a never-ending series of ‘coming outs’.
Wedding Planning is certainly no different. My aim is to be so proudly Queer that no-one ever has to say “Are you ok with LGBTIQA+ people and weddings/”
I will also continue to listen and learn to other members of the community so that I can lead by example with my role in the Celebrant space.
I happen to love the beauty of the umbrella term Queer as I feel it encases our entire LGBTIQA+ community. However, I am very aware that not everyone in our community feels this way. I hope that in using the term Queer and the acronym that everyone feels included and safe.

What’s one song that always gets you on the dance floor?
Am I showing my age and lack of coolness by admitting that it’s The Nutbush….?
How can lovers make their wedding day special?
Be true to themselves and embrace all the things that make them the fabulous couple that they are. If you have a shared hobby or passion, work with your vendors to find a way to include it in your wedding.
What’s the most rewarding thing about being a wedding pro?
Being a witness to a couple sharing their personal vows, or that moment when I declare them married and they stride back down the aisle into married life!
From our first catch up over coffee or drinks, to planning a couple’s ceremony, to the last minute messages and check ins. I’ve gotten to know, and love, my couple and know the efforts and planning that have gone into creating these moments.
When you finally are MARRIED and your favourite people are celebrating!
Slowing these moments down to give my couples the time and space to truly soak them in is such a rewarding part of my role.
The vulnerability and openness that my couples share their lives and love story with me. Weddings are emotional events, for many people, not just the couple. Being ‘let in’ to a couple’s inner circle and being trusted by them is a huge honour.
