Every love story is unique.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, an elopement, or want the simplicity of a legals’ only wedding, I’ll create something that is relaxed, personal and unmistakably you.
My job is to keep things calm, organised and stress-free, so you can focus on what really matters—enjoying your ceremony and celebrating your love, your way.
“Where there is love there is life.” — Mahatma Gandhi
Marry Me Daylesford - Your Celebrant
Hi, I’m Belinda.
If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s this: I genuinely care about people and want you to be happy.
Whether you’re planning a simple legal ceremony, an intimate elopement or a celebration surrounded by family and friends, I want you to feel relaxed, supported and completely yourselves.
Your ceremony isn’t just another booking in my calendar—it’s one of the most important days of your life, and I never lose sight of that.
After 26 years working in government, together with my legal and project management experience, I’ve developed a calm, organised approach and a keen eye for detail.
I will ensure every legal requirement is taken care of, every detail is thoughtfully managed, and you always know what comes next—so you can focus on celebrating, rather than stressing.
I’m proudly inclusive and believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, respected and celebrated. Love doesn’t fit into one mould, and neither should your ceremony.
My role is to create a space where every couple feels comfortable, every story is honoured, and every ceremony reflects the people at its heart.
Most of all, I want this experience to feel easy. I’ll guide you through the process, keep everything running smoothly and be there to support you from our first conversation until the moment you say, “I do.”
Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about me.
It’s about creating a ceremony for your day that you will remember with a smile for the rest of your life.
The Marry Me Daylesford Difference
Our Ceremonies
We offer the following meaningful ceremonies curated with heart and intention.
If you are after a ceremony not included in our list, please get in touch. We are able to cater for bespoke ceremonies.
Wedding Celebrancy
Love is in the air — and everyone loves a wedding.
A great wedding ceremony has a little bit of everything—love, laughter, happy tears… and hopefully no one forgetting the rings.
I’ll create a ceremony that’s personal, engaging, and unmistakably you, while making sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
My job is to keep things organised, keep you relaxed, and create a moment you’ll remember for all the right reasons
Vow Renewal
A vow renewal is a meaningful way to celebrate your love story all over again.
Whether you’re marking a milestone, beginning a new chapter, overcoming challenges, or simply reaffirming your commitment, it’s a chance to honour your journey together.
It can be heartfelt and reflective, or light, joyful and full of laughter. There are no rules—just your story. Some couples choose an intimate moment together, while others celebrate with family and friends.
With no legal requirements, we have complete freedom to create a ceremony that reflects your relationship, memories and future. I’ll work with you to design something personal, authentic and unforgettable.
Because love isn’t just about the day you said “I do”—it’s about the life you’ve built and the promises that continue to grow.
Simple, Stress-Free Legal Marriage Ceremonies
Not every couple dreams of a traditional wedding—and that’s perfectly okay.
Many people don’t realise that it’s possible to legally marry without a full wedding ceremony. Whether you’re planning a celebration at a later date, marrying before travelling overseas, or simply prefer to keep things simple, a legal-only marriage is a wonderful option.
I’ll guide you through every step of the legal process, prepare all of the required documentation, and conduct the brief legal ceremony required under Australian law before completing and lodging your marriage paperwork.
Simple, relaxed and completely stress-free.
Your Promise - Commitment Ceremony
A commitment ceremony is about celebrating your relationship, your promises, and your future together—your way.
Whether you’re marking a new beginning or honouring years together, I’ll create a ceremony that’s authentic, meaningful, and unmistakably you.
Because the best ceremonies aren’t defined by tradition—they’re defined by the people at the heart of them.
Celebration of Your True Self
You deserve a celebrant who is dedicated and gets it right.
With decades of professional experience, exceptional attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to inclusion.
I create ceremonies where you feel supported, respected, and celebrated—exactly as you are.
Securing Your Date
The first step is to arrange an obligation-free consultation. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your ceremony, answer any questions, and ensure we’re the right fit.
If you choose to proceed, your ceremony date will be formally secured once:
Your service agreement has been signed.
You have read and accepted my Terms & Conditions.
Your non-refundable booking fee of $200 has been received.
Your booking fee is non-refundable because it secures your ceremony date exclusively for you and covers the initial administration, planning and preparation that begins as soon as your booking is confirmed.
Once your booking is confirmed, I reserve that date exclusively for you and do not accept any other ceremony bookings on the same day. This allows me to dedicate my time, attention and investment entirely to your ceremony, ensuring you receive the personalised service and support you deserve.
The remaining balance will be payable prior to your ceremony, with payment terms outlined in your service agreement
Our Pricing
Pricing
Every ceremony is unique, which is why my pricing starts from a base rate and is tailored to suit your individual needs.
The final investment depends on the type of ceremony, location, travel requirements, the level of planning and preparation involved, and any additional inclusions you choose.
Whether you’re looking for a simple legal ceremony, a beautifully presented ceremony with a touch of personalisation, or a completely bespoke celebration created just for you, I’ll provide a clear, upfront quote with no hidden surprises.
Ceremonies starting from:
Legal-Only Ceremony
From $450
Commitment Ceremonies & Vow Renewal From $650
Personalised Wedding Ceremony
From $799
Bespoke Wedding Ceremony
From $999
Legal-Only
Perfect for couples who simply want to complete the legal requirements of marriage without a personalised ceremony.
I’ll guide you through the entire legal process, from lodging your Notice of Intended Marriage through to completing all required legal documentation.
On the day, we’ll meet at an agreed location where I’ll conduct the brief legal ceremony required under Australian law before you, your witnesses (and interpreter, if required) sign the official marriage documents.
This option is ideal for couples who are planning a separate celebration, destination wedding, cultural ceremony, or who simply prefer a straightforward legal marriage.
Commitment Ceremony
A commitment ceremony is a beautiful way to celebrate your love and commitment without entering into a legal marriage. Whether your choice is personal, cultural or practical, I’ll create a meaningful ceremony that reflects your relationship, your values and the promises you wish to make to one another.
Like a vow renewal, there are no legal requirements, allowing us the freedom to create a ceremony that is authentic, heartfelt and uniquely yours
Vow Renewal
Celebrate your journey together by renewing the promises you’ve made to one another. Whether you’re marking a milestone anniversary, overcoming life’s challenges, or simply celebrating your enduring love, I’ll create a heartfelt ceremony that reflects your story and the life you’ve built together.
As there are no legal requirements for a vow renewal, the focus is entirely on celebrating your commitment in a meaningful and memorable way.
Personalised Ceremony
Using one of my professionally written ceremony formats as the foundation, I’ll tailor key sections with details about your relationship to create a ceremony that feels genuinely personal without being completely custom-written from scratch.
This is an excellent choice for couples who want a meaningful ceremony with some personalisation while keeping the process straightforward and affordable.
Bespoke Ceremony
A completely tailored ceremony created from your unique love story. Through questionnaires, conversations and collaboration, I’ll craft a ceremony that reflects your personalities, your journey together and the moments that matter most. No two bespoke ceremonies are ever the same.
If you’re unsure which option best suits your vision, I’m always happy to chat and help you find the perfect fit.
