OVERVIEW

One of the biggest things couples tell me is that they "want their ceremony to feel just like them".  They want relaxed, meaningful and authentic - quiet smiles, proud parent moments, sneaky tears, lots of love and laughter.  No stress.  No awkward moments. No cookie-cutter.  Not staged - just real.   This is the energy I bring to every ceremony and I will work with your photographer and other vendors to make it a ceremony that you and your guests remember  - for all the right reasons. 

About

Although I live in Albury, NSW, I love the open road and am happy to hit the highway or dirt track to get to your special day! Read the reviews - my goal is to make your wedding journey fun, stress-free and memorable . I'd love to be part of your day - send me the enquiry form and I can check my diary for availability!

Fee for "legals only" ceremony is currently $500.  
Exclusive Offer
"Just Get Us Married!" Elopement Package

Exclusive Offer
"The Signature Wedding Experience"
  • "The Signature Wedding Experience" - the full package with all the bells and whistles!  For the couple who wants a relaxed, heartfelt ceremony that is uniquely theirs - with my expert guidance to make it the best day ever.  With a  relaxed planning process, professional delivery, and lots of input from you into the actual ceremony script, which will be  written from your story, not a copy and paste from every other wedding.  We will have a rehearsal at the venue, and I will have my high quality PA equipment so everyone can hear every word!  You also get a few extra inclusions such as keepsake ceremony booklet and vow certificate.  Current fee starts from $900 (including travel in local area).

FAQ

Yes, I have an awesome PA system with high quality sound that can be used to play music from your device before, during and after the ceremony.  The hand held microphone comes with this system and it  is all included in my price.

The Notice of Intended Marriage has to be lodged with a Celebrant at least one month prior to the solemnisation of the marriage (wedding day) and it cannot be lodged more than 18 months in advance.  Several identity documents are required when you lodge your NOIM - the Celebrant will advise you of these documents when arranging signing.

Yes, yes and YES!  I love a roadtrip.  I live in Albury but happy to travel to other areas such as Wagga, Beechworth, Narrandera, Bright, Bendigo, Balranald, Swan Hill, Mildura, Echuca, Geelong..................just give me a call and see what we can work out!

April 2026

Leonie was such an asset to our special day. She did such a wonderful job capturing the essence of us and delivered our ceremony with so much love. She was extremely professional but also embraced the fun that we wanted to bring to our day. She played a major role in setting the tone, and was super organised (luckily because we were not). You can tell she truly loves what she does. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I certainly do love what I do, Liesel and Sam, and your wedding was such a fun one to be involved with - I had a ball! My job is to be organised - yours is to relax and enjoy, and I am so glad you were able to do that. xx

April 2026

Leonie is the Wonder Woman of weddings! She gave us so much guidance in the lead up to the wedding. She organised the paperwork, and she put together the ceremony of our dreams - it reflected us as a couple as though she’d known us our entire lives, and it was perfect. She maintained clear communication in the lead up to the day, kept it simple, she interacted with our guests on the day and really brought it all together. I couldn’t speak anymore highly of Leonie, and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for being such a big part of our special day, Leonie.

Hey Bridget and Dean, I am so happy your ceremony was a true reflection of your love story, thank you for choosing me as your Celebrant! xx

Leonie Duryea So many words and so much love for you. Firstly, Leonie was so incredibly amazing, she made our day so incredible. I have had so many people reach out and say the ceremony was everything plus more, how Leonie spoke, how the ceremony was ran and every aspect about it. Leonie captured the loving, playful and strong relationship that my husband and I hold for each other and we couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. From the planning where it was so easy, stress free and helped us relive our love story as we got to create our perfect ceremony. Leonie provided us with a draft copy of our ceremony to ensure it was everything we wanted plus more and has since given us a keepsake booklet of the full ceremony. People let me know over and over that they have been to a few weddings and ours was one of the best purely due to how special, intimate and personal the ceremony was and how it reflected who we are as people. We want to say a huge thank you to Leonie, you made the ceremony so us and it was so magical. We are so grateful and thankful that we found Leonie as our celebrant and could not recommend her enough. Lots of love The Heavens x

Oh, The Heavens - what an amazing review you have written for me - makes me so proud and reminds me why I love what I do. I have had a lot of fun weddings in the past, but yours would have to top it - from the moment Bubble Boy Sam made his entrance to the moment I left, everything was amazing. Much love always, and THANK YOU!!!

July 2026

Leonie provides a personalised and professional service and officiated our wedding above my expectations. Pros - geniune - very dynamic - we made a few changes and some at late notice and Leonie was able to adapt her part to match the wedding perfectly - communicates directly, asks all the questions I hadn't considered, and follows up in a timely manner to ensure you are kept on task. - dressed appropriately for the ceremony - on time - very approachable - had the correct equipment for the occasion My advice is to make sure you answer the questions she asks because Leonie incorporated the answers in to the ceremony beautifully in a way I had not anticipated. Leonie helped do what she needed to make our day special and I am very thankful we chose to work together.

Leonie is absolutely wonderful! She stepped us through everything and was so easy to correspond with. On the day of the wedding she made sure our ceremony ran smoothly and made sure that it was so fitted to us! We couldn't be happier with our choice of celebrant - wonderful!
