OVERVIEW
What You’ll Love About Working with Macintyre Celebrant For Your Regional Queensland Wedding:
Alongside her work as a part-time primary school teacher, Michelle helps couples approach their ceremony with clarity and confidence. Her decision to become a celebrant was inspired by her son’s difficulty finding a local celebrant for his own wedding. After becoming registered in 2025, she set out to provide couples across south west Queensland and northern New South Wales with a reliable and locally based service.
From your first conversation through to the moment you say “I do”, Michelle will guide you through the planning process with prompt communication and close attention to detail. Whether you are planning an intimate elopement, a small gathering or a larger celebration, she will work closely with you to create a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful and true to your relationship.

FAQ
Yes absolutely. I think a face to face meeting either in person or via a Face Time chat is essential to find out whether I am the right celebrant for you.
Yes there is some essential paperwork to do before your big day. The Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) needs to be lodged with a celebrant at least 30 days before your wedding day. I can talk you through this process and help make it easier. Other forms can be filled in as we go.
Absolutely. Every ceremony I create is tailored to reflect your unique relationship, values, personalities, and vision for your wedding day. From your love story to personalised vows, rituals, readings, and special moments, your ceremony will be uniquely yours.
My fees depend on the type and level of customisation required. I offer transparent pricing with no hidden costs. During our first meeting, I'll provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs and explain exactly what's included. I also will give you an idea of any extra travel fees.
As soon as you've chosen your date and venue is always a good time to also secure a celebrant. Popular dates, especially during spring and autumn, can book out well in advance. Many couples secure their celebrant 12 to 18 months before their wedding.
Of course. Personal vows are a wonderful way to make your ceremony meaningful and memorable. If you'd like help getting started, I can provide examples, prompts, and guidance while ensuring the required legal wording is included. I include lots of hints and ideas in my wedding planner booklet.
Absolutely. Weddings are about celebrating the people and relationships that matter most to you. I can incorporate children, family members, friends, and even well-behaved furry family members into your ceremony. I like it when things get creative!
While not essential, many couples find a rehearsal helpful in building confidence and understanding how the ceremony will flow. I can discuss rehearsal options and help decide what's best for your wedding. It is often difficult for me to attend a rehearsal given distance of travel but you can certainly have one without me!
I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that feels genuine, engaging, and uniquely theirs. Rather than using generic templates, I will do my best to learn your story and craft a ceremony that captures your personalities, relationship, and vision for the future.
Simply get in touch to arrange a no-obligation consultation. We'll chat about your plans, check availability, and discuss how we can create a ceremony that's perfectly tailored to your love story. If you decide I'm the right celebrant for you, I'll guide you through the booking process and start bringing your dream ceremony to life.
