OVERVIEW

Hi, I'm Janet.
Firstly, congratulations on your engagement!

Your ceremony should never feel like a script being read by a stranger. It should feel relaxed, personal, full of joy, and leave you wondering where the time went.

When we work together, my job is to make the entire journey feel easy from the moment we first meet until you walk back down the aisle as newlyweds.

Together we'll create a ceremony that's:

Completely personal to the two of you.
Relaxed, heartfelt and sprinkled with plenty of laughter.
Calm and stress-free, so you can simply enjoy every moment.
Filled with the little stories and moments that make your relationship yours.
Remembered just as much by your guests as it is by you.

You don't need to worry about the paperwork, what happens next, or whether you've forgotten something. I'll guide you through every step, help you write your vows if you'd like, answer every question along the way, and make sure you feel completely prepared before the big day arrives.

When your wedding day comes, I'll be there early, helping everyone settle in, calming any last-minute nerves, and making sure everything flows exactly as it should, so all you have to do is soak up every second.

Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony, a big celebration, or something completely unique, we'll create something that feels genuinely like you.

My fee includes all legal paperwork, unlimited support, travel throughout Sydney, and my wedding planning folder with over 30 vow ideas to inspire you.

I'd love to hear your story and help create a ceremony you'll remember for the rest of your lives.

FAQ

Are the legal requirements complicated, if I am born overseas?

Not at all. All you need to bring to sign The Notice of Intention of Marriage are your passports and another form of photo ID, such as your driving licences or an ID card from the RTA.

Do you have all the documents that are required by law?

Yes, I do have everything here, and will go over it all thoroughly when you visit.

Can I get married next week?

Only if you have already signed The Notice of Intention of Marriage, as it needs to be signed at least one month prior to your wedding ceremony.

Do I have to have witnesses at my wedding ceremony?

Yes, you do have to provide two witnesses, usually one from each side of the family, and they must be at least 18 years of age.

Do you add a travel fee for the Sydney region?

No, everything is included for Sydney, but for the Blue Mountains, Central Coast and the Southern Highlands, I do add a fee.

Janet was our celebrant on 11.04.2026, and we honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is incredibly professional and made our day truly unforgettable. Before the ceremony, Janet gave us such beautiful advice - to simply enjoy the moment and not worry about everything being perfect, because it would be beautiful regardless. That really stayed with me and helped me be present and fully enjoy every second. Janet is warm, fun, wise, and an excellent speaker. She made the entire preparation process feel easy and stress-free, while the ceremony itself was meaningful, heartfelt, and full of joy. My husband and I are so grateful we chose Janet to be our celebrant — she made our special day even more memorable.

We had Janet as our celebrant for our wedding, and she was amazing. From our fist catch up her warmth and humour was something that really stood out to us. She was so helpful the whole way through the process and made a stressful period easy and relaxing. On the day she was incredibly helpful, getting guests seated and calming us down before and during the ceremony. A lot of our guests have also mentioned how great she was, and she perfectly matched our energy. Thank you Janet!!

I just wanted to send you a quick message to say thank you again for being Ivy & Michael's celebrant. We really appreciated all your help during the preparation and on the day. I’ve written a small 5-star review for you below. Thank you for making their ceremony easy and special. "Janet was a wonderful celebrant and made our ceremony feel easy and relaxed. As we weren’t very familiar with Australian wedding traditions, she helped simplify many of the steps when preparing the ceremony. Everything went very smoothly on the day. Even though there were some language differences, Janet handled everything with patience and warmth, and everyone felt the joy of the moment. We’re very grateful for her help and would happily recommend Janet to anyone looking for a friendly and professional celebrant." Thanks again for everything!

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Janet! From our very first meeting, she took the time to truly listen to our vision and worked closely with us to create a ceremony that felt so personal and exactly how we imagined it. She guided us through every step of the planning process and made all the legal paperwork and registration completely seamless and stress-free. Janet also organised our rehearsal and made sure everyone knew what to do, which meant our ceremony ran so smoothly on the day. She was warm, professional, organised, and such a calming presence throughout the entire process. Thank you, Janet, for making our wedding ceremony so special. We are so grateful for everything you did. -Lakshmi & William

Janet was supporting us to prepare for our wedding the whole time we were waiting on our partner visa to be finalised so we could get married in Australia. Her support and patience throughout the process was invaluable. She catered to our simple marriage ceremony perfectly and my family felt super comfortable with her. It's a memory we'll always have, so happy with exactly how it all panned out.

I'm not a religious but can I have my marriage ceremony in a church?

Janet Lomax ~ Sydney's Inner West Marriage Celebrant

There are lots of beautiful chapels around Sydney, The Hunter Valley, The Blue Mountains and the Southern Highlands where you can be married, without having any religious feel ~ Just a gorgeous space!

Hope that helps!

I'm considering walking myself down the aisle, thoughts?

Has any other bride done this at one of your weddings?

Janet Lomax ~ Sydney's Inner West Marriage Celebrant

Absolutely they have, but it can be a little bit daunting on the day, so I suggest that your bridesmaid/s either walk with you or just in front of you, so you are not totally alone!
