OVERVIEW

Complete Circle Celebrancy is run by Vicki Coghill, a charming, award-winning, Bendigo-based celebrant. Vicki is a highly experienced celebrant, and is an excellent public speaker - you’ll just love her sense of humour and warm manner. With a heart of gold, plenty of industry knowledge, and a penchant for readings and rituals, Vicki is a talented, helpful celebrant - and an absolute delight!

“Vicki was so amazing through the process of planning our wedding. She was very professional and thorough. She made everything so easy and gave us all the information we didn’t even know we needed. We told her everything we wanted with our ceremony and she tailored it to perfection! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.” Mel

What you can expect when working with Complete Circle Celebrancy for your wedding:

  • Experienced celebrant. Vicki has a lot of celebrancy experience, and has worked with couples from all walks of life. Effectively, she is a terrific storyteller (you’ll love how she drops sneaky anecdotes in your ceremony), she’s knowledgeable (chat to Vicki about vendors and she can recommend some goodies), a terrific public speaker, and remains calm under pressure.
  • Award-winning celebrant. Vicki has been awarded a Brides Choice Award for her excellent celebrancy services, and also been named a finalist in another year. Talk about impressive…
  • Tailored ceremony. Vicki understands that every couple has been on a journey to get to the altar - and she wants to tell their romantic story. This is why she tailors each couple’s ceremony to their likes and preferences, and mentions some moments that are special to the couple.
  • Organised and professional. Vicki is an absolute stickler for organisation - which is exactly what you want in a celebrant! She’s also always on time, knowledgeable and oh-so professional! You’ll be mightily impressed by how put-together she is.
  • Warm and friendly. Vicki has a terrific sense of humour, or as she calls it: a ‘warped’ sense of humour. She’s also very warm, personable and loving, which guests definitely appreciate when they listen to her thoughtful ceremonies. Trust us, Vicki feels more like an old friend than she does a new supplier!

 

“Had an absolutely wonderful experience with Vicki, she was lovely and helpful throughout the whole process and managed to whip together a beautiful, personalised ceremony that everyone complimented. She was very professional and knowledgeable and a credit to the profession. Thanks so much Vicki and good luck for the future!!

  • Readings and rituals. Well, this is important! Many couples feel unsure where to start when it comes to choosing meaningful readings and rituals for their ceremony, but Vicki specialises in this area - and she’s here to guide you through the process.
  • Other ceremonies. Vicki is extraordinarily talented, and can officiate a number of different ceremonies, including weddings, renewals and naming-giving ceremonies - she’s a jack of all trades!
  • Travel. While Vicki is based in Bendigo, she’s happy to travel to your ceremony location for a small travel fee - and it’s worth it for an award-winning celebrant!

“We're so incredibly thankful to Vicki, for her patience and guidance whilst we planned our special day. Nothing was ever too much trouble, she took care of all the important legalities (promptly too, i may add!) Vicki clearly has a passion for her role and is honestly just so wonderful to work with. We had the best day, thank you once again, Vicki.” Kayla

“We had the pleasure of being married by Vicki on Good Friday this year.  Vicki could not have made this process any easier.  Meeting with us several times in the lead up, she put our mind at ease regarding the legality and the logistics of the special day.  Vicki’s profound talent with the spoken word ensures a ceremony woven together with love, meaning and makes your special day truly unforgettable.  We could not recommend her highly enough.  Thank you Vicki for making our special day truly amazing.” Matthew

 

About

Not just a “normal” celebrant... I enjoy meeting new couples and helping them create a ceremony that mirrors their personality and desires. Writing is a passion of mine and I am a published author, experienced public speaker and highly organised celebrant. However, I love to inject warmth and humour into the process. On a personal level, I like to laugh (often at myself), spend time with my family and friends, read and talk to our dog, Elfie.

FAQ

I give you as little or as much help as you need to write yours vows. It is totally up to you.

i have lots of sample vows to share and a "no fail recipe" to guide you through.

once a draft is written I will edit it for you and make suggestions for improvement, if needed. I will then print your vows and pass them to you at the appropriate moment. There is no need to try to remember your vows.

You can have anyone you like as long as they are over the age of 18. It is no longer necessary to follow tradition to have your maid of honour or best man. You can choose to have your grandparents, parents, other family members or anyone you would like to give a special role.

You must complete a Notice of Intended Marriage at least one month prior to your wedding for the wedding to go ahead.

Having said that good celebrants often book 12-18 months ahead, particularly for popular dates in Autumn and Spring.

Of course! 
I have experience in all styles of wedding...legals only, short and sweet, simply elegant, country style, gothic, big sophisticated weddings and everything in between.

i have lots of ideas to share but I am truly interested in your input and family traditions. I have in the past included readings (traditional, contemporary or humorous), rituals like sand or unity ceremonies, cultural traditions or things that will just be fun!

Other than your legal vows and The Monitum ( a passage the celebrant reads stating they are authorised to conduct marriages and a definition of marriage under current laws) you can have anything your heart desires.

Vicki has been an amazing marriage celebrant, from the first time we talked through email, to meeting her in person and especially to our very special day. We did an elopement and I am very happy she is able to accomodate all my request. Her husband Greg alongside our photographer was our witness too. She is very lovely and very helpful too. Our vows were printed by her and she gave an envelope with all the wedding details. Plus she gave me a list of all places I need to change my name. Angel! Thank you so much Vicki and Greg.

Vicki was amazing. We choose Vicki at a bridal expo in Bendigo. After our first meeting with Vicki. She created our dream ceremony. We gave her everything that she desired, our story and other small inclusions that suited us. Our ceremony was a vision of our lives together and moving forward into our married lives. I would highly recommend Vicki, she made creating the ceremony a breeze, our wedding day went without a hitch and was always available to answer our questions and worries.

Vicki made it a very relaxing process for us, we even made last minute changes to our ceremony and she took that in her stride and nailed it. Vicki spoke lovely and had amazing words to describe our love story. We had no regrets having Vicki, she is such a beautiful person. 100% would book her again if we had the chance to do it all again.

I am thrilled that your ceremony was everything you dreamed it would be! It is easy to create beautiful words for people whose love just radiates from them.

Do any modern couples still include the opportunity to object during a wedding ceremony?

Curious about this and how it would be done well.

Complete Circle Celebrancy

I never give guests the chance to object at weddings as it allows the possibility of someone objecting for a joke or just because they do not personally approve the match. It could even be an ex trying to disrupt! However, if there was any indication that either party was being coerced I would definitely listen if something was raised! 

How many people can you have at the moment with the virus?

Complete Circle Celebrancy

In Regional Victoria you can have 10 people plus celebrant and photographer. However, things change quickly and it is wise to keep an eye on government regulations.
