I am proud to be a part of a new wave of marriage celebrant emerging, creating bespoke ceremonies that have energy, personality and laughter.
Hello and Welcome! I’m Kathleen Ryan and I’m a professionally trained and registered marriage celebrant working across the whole state of Tasmania. I’m all about collaborating with loved up couples to create their ideal wedding, whatever it may be.
I am proud to be a part of a new wave of marriage celebrant emerging, creating bespoke ceremonies that have energy, personality and laughter, which embody who you are as a couple. After all, this day is meant to be about you!
I love weddings, and far from being the uptight and stodgy part of the day that precedes the drinks and dancing, I think the ceremony should be the very pinnacle, the bees knees, of the event!
Whether you are after a casual and relaxed event that’s sweet and simple, or you want to pack as much as you can into this awesome and special day, or perhaps you want to showcase the individuality, quirks and passions that showcase who you both are, we can make it happen.
About
Hello! I'm Kathleen Ryan, a professionally trained and energetic Marriage Celebrant working across the whole state of Tasmania. When not being a Celebrant I earn my keep as a Commentary Guide aboard a historic steam railway, which has allowed me to become a seasoned public speaker and story writer, a lover of meeting new people, and a logistical wizard when it comes to creating special experiences. I live in Queenstown with my wonderful partner, Tom, and our ridiculously adorable dog, Manny.

Kathleen Ryan Marriage Celebrant
Hi there! Yes, they do. It is a legal requirement for all civil celebrants to provide their couples with information about relationship education as part of the pre-wedding paperwork. This will take the form of both the Happily Ever Before and After brochure, as well as info about some local places you can access couselling and workshops. As I say, it is a requirement for all civil celebrants, it's not a reflection on what they think of your relationship at all. :)
As you can imagine, the idea is that this whole shebang is more than just the wedding day but about the marriage as a whole, which can be complex. In order to foster open communication, understanding and keep that marriage together, couselling really can be an important tool.
