For Weddings & No Funerals

Led by charming and experienced celebrant, Silvana Grdovic, For Weddings & No Funerals creates memorable, romantic, and fun ceremonies for couples - because your wedding shouldn’t be the ‘obligation’ part of the day you need to get through, it should be an enjoyable occasion. 

Confident and entertaining, Silvana gets to know her couples over coffee in order to provide an intimate, joyous ceremony full of sweet personal touches. Your wedding ceremony might include cheeky mentions of how you met, or perhaps a romantic reading that will bring a tear to your mum’s eye. Whatever you have envisioned for your bespoke ceremony, Silvana will work with you so it fits into your wedding perfectly.

From the minute you reach out for an informal chat about your wedding to the signing of your marriage certificate, Silvana will be your greatest support, listening ear, and confidant, ensuring you feel excited about the planning process and the big day. 

“My wife and I had a wonderful day with Silvana as our celebrant. Silvana made the planning and lead up to the wedding easy and fun. Nothing was ever a hassle and she was always quick to respond and help out. We loved the ceremony and the personal feel that Silvana gave  it, we couldn’t have wished for it to be better. Thank you.” Sam

“Silvana came very highly recommended from some friends at my work and she certainly didn't disappoint. Now my wife Stacey and I are the ones who can't recommend her highly enough. She was fantastic from start to finish. Approachable and easy-going during our first meeting. She provided some great recommendations for the ceremony and was completely flexible with our ideas. She was well-organised and the ceremony ran perfectly and was prompt with the legal paperwork. A five-star service all the way! Thank you again.” Ben

About

In 2017 I completely changed my career path and started my profession as a marriage celebrant and working with children with disabilities. I halved my earnings but had never been happier and I knew it was the right decision. My life is surrounded by loved up couples and children. I look forward to creating a bespoke wedding ceremony to reflect your unique relationship. Forty something weddings later I still truly consider it an honour and a privilege to be part of your special day.
