Hi, I’m George!
I deliver ceremonies across Melbourne, Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and the Macedon Ranges that your guests will rave about and you will actually enjoy!
I believe there’s no excuse for a boring wedding ceremony these days. An excellent celebrant will start by asking the right questions, listen closely, and shape your story in a way that feels natural and honest, with a little bit of cheeky humour on the side.
As an ex-performer, I bring loads of personality and presence to my ceremonies, but I’m very careful to ensure it’s not about me!
I will guide you through planning and your ceremony with clarity and care while leaving plenty of room for emotion, laughter, and connection. If you’re nervous, emotional, or not quite sure how to put big feelings into words, you’re in very safe hands.
Couples tell me they felt calm, supported and that their ceremony felt like a genuine reflection of who they are.
For a few select weddings a year I also take on MC and party starter duties. Hit me up if you don't want to burden any of your guests with this job and want to leave it to a pro.
Ultimately, you need to vibe with your celebrant/MC. If I sound like a bit of you, get in touch for a chat and to see if we're a good fit.

I live with my husband and two gorgeous sons in Thornbury, Melbourne. You'll generally find me wrangling said boys to school, daycare, various activities, and playdates or running after them on their bikes and scooters...it's quite a sight!
I love music, dancing (always the first to hit the d-floor), and a glass of wine or two with mates. To keep fit, I lift weights, walk as much as possible, and try to attend the odd dance class here and there. I'm a real people person and love chatting with and getting to know others in my community. This has lead me to delivering ceremonies for work colleagues, school parents, friends and strangers that I met in a cafe!
