Celebrant and Wedding Ceremony planning service run by energetic, passionate people who will bring their enthusiasm and energy to your special day!
The two co-founders of Love is Love Celebrants and Wedding Services are authorised civil marriage celebrants.
We personally both know how daunting it is to find the right suppliers for your big day… Searching around for the best in the industry but within your budget, looking for the right vibes… the social media creeping and then completing a heap of enquiry forms – Trust us, we get it. Mitch has just got married and Bridgitte is currently planning her wedding, so we can definitely vouch for it feeling all a little overwhelming at times.
As Wedding Celebrants, we’re here to help you navigate and support you through the Wedding Ceremony process and of course, recommend suppliers along the way to ensure your big day comes together with ease.
Learn more about each Mitch and Bridge, their styles and what they’re all about.
Hint: If you still can’t decide – send us an enquiry and we would both be happy to meet you guys over a coffee, wine or brunch and from there you can choose who feels right for you!

Hi there!
To be honest I don't think there is a prescribed minimum time for personal vows, and it really comes down to how much you want to share at the ceremony (vs. Potentially later at the reception speeches for example). I have seen couples do as short as a paragraph, or series of short promises to eachother. Couples I have worked with have also spoken for up to 5 minutes each.
My suggestion is if you are a reasonable comfortable public speaker, aim for 3 - 4 short stories, anecdotes or key items you want to include and have a first crack at writing down your ideas. Then you could see how well they tie together or even work through what you have with your celebrant - as they will have seen a lot of vows they will know how to tie things together.
I think the most important things are you have vows that reflect you and that you are comfortable sharing:)
Mitch
