Weddings & elopements
Heartfelt, personal, and definitely not awkward. If you want a wedding that runs a little slower and more intentionally — but is still fun and genuinely engaging — you're in the right place.
I create ceremonies that do more than tick the legal boxes. The kind where your people are listening, laughing, and feeling it right alongside you, rather than waiting politely for the end.
Planning a Hobart wedding, a Tasmanian elopement or travelling from interstate to get married here? You'll be guided through the whole process step by step. From legal requirements to your individual ceremony.
Intimate elopement or a full gathering, there's room here for your ideas and your style.
What I offer
This is your more traditional style of wedding ceremony, around thirty minutes long.
One wedding a day, always.
An elopement is its own intentional ceremony, not a scaled-back version of a larger wedding.
Popular locations include Freycinet, kunanyi or any of our local beaches.
As the name suggests, only the legal wording so that you are legally married. Ideal for people who are celebrating at another time or overseas, or who simply don't want the fuss — they just want to get married.
For couples marking ten years, fifty years, or simply coming out the other side of something. No legal paperwork, so the whole ceremony is yours to shape.
The planning
Send me your date and a rough idea of what you're imagining. I'll let you know as soon as possible whether I'm available.
We meet in person, over video or by phone call, discuss your ceremony and decide if we are the right fit. You'll receive my quote for services and let me know if you'd like to proceed.
Once engaged, I'll guide you all the way. The Notice of Intended Marriage is lodged at least one month before your date, and I'll walk you through the documents and deadlines clearly.
You'll be guided all the way with resources and questionnaires. Your input is crucial at this stage to get the best outcome during the ceremony.
I arrive early to set up and say hello. I'm there to discuss any last minute changes and to calm the nerves.
In their words
“We are so grateful to Mary for creating such a warm and romantic wedding ceremony for us. Her professionalism and kindness truly made a difference — she provided us with so many thoughtful ideas and support throughout the process. Mary made everything feel so special and meaningful.”
“We never wanted a big wedding, we wanted our special day to be filled with relaxation so that we could really take in the moment and a ceremony that reflected our values. Mary was fantastic in helping us bring that to fruition. We met together face-to-face initially where we got to know each other over tea and relayed to her what our vision was for the day. From what she had learnt about us she provided us with a draft script to which she gave us full creative control.”
“We're so happy we had Mary as our celebrant for our wedding. The ceremony was engaging, just the right length and reflected us as a couple. Our family and friends commented how much they enjoyed Mary's ceremony, being a part of it and that it felt so personal.”
“Mary was an absolute dream to work with. Right from the beginning she made us feel completely comfortable and like we had been friends for a long time. So much so that our photographer asked how long we had known each other for. She spoke so beautifully about our story. She brought a perfect balance of calm and excitement to the day.”
