Renee The Celebrant
Forget what you know about hetero-normative marriage, because I’m shakin’ shit up over here!
Marriage Equality has seen wedding culture evolve, which really bloody excites me! So, I’m here to assist you in designing a wedding day (or marriage) that truly reflects you; while hopefully re-thinking some old, pale, stale traditions along the way. I’m not anti-tradition, I just relish in seeing queer lovers thinking outside the box. I adore being around joy, holding space, and connecting with my communities.
I like to feel good chemistry with you (and hopefully it’s reciprocated) before we decide to work together. That means none of us have to feel like we’re fakin’ it LOL. That’s why I do initial Zoom meet’s with you before we lock anything down.
I’m an Event Producer, Performer, Story-teller, Dance-floor Dominatrix (DJ), Creative Writer, Joker, Party Starter and Public Speaker. I offer a range of pre-made packages to suit all dreams and budgets, including the triple threat “One Woman Show”! That’s right, I can be your Celebrant – MC and DJ – Why book 3 people when I can do it all? I’ve been voted as a Finalist in the 2023 ABIA wedding awards Best Celebrant category, featured in ABC Queer, British Vogue, Frankie Magazine, Broadsheet, Hello May & The Age.
I will groove with you to make your dream day as whacky, weird, white or wanky as you feel. In fact, if you swipe right on me, we’ll work together to design a wedding unlike any other – Laughter, tears, giggles, roastings and all.
Enough about me. I’d love to get to know you and maybe be part of your rockin’ day. Let’s catch up for a no obligations Zoom chat, see if it flows nicely and hopefully work together to make your day smooth and sexy! I can’t wait to meet you.

As a proud queer woman, my involvement during the 2017 Marriage Equality campaign was pivotal in achieving equal rights, and then my inspiration to become a Celebrant. It wasn’t a pleasant time for our community, but now I get to officiate queer love and JOY! What an honour to officiate LOVE ALL WAYS! That being said, my services aren’t exclusive to the queer community, I don’t discriminate wink love is love baby!

What’s your order at the bar?
Coconut Margarita – in a Cocktail bar… Pinot Noir – in a Wine bar… Or a pint – at the pub!
What’s a common misconception about your role in the wedding industry?
That we’re all ageing, straight and boring. LOL. Nah, actually it’s that the ceremony isn’t an important part of a wedding. It’s actually THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! It sets the tone for your day. So I recommend working with someone who truly gets you!
What’s your favourite local spot you’d recommend to out-of-towners?
It has to be The Carlton Club (Melbourne CBD) I’ve run queer women’s events on the rooftop (themed tiki-bar) for years now. It’s female owned and Lesbian run, hell yeah!
