OVERVIEW
The Love & Legacy Co – Authorised Marriage Celebrant ....I will travel anywhere for the right match
Calm, intimate and meaningful wedings designed for couples who want connection not performance.
At The Love & Legacy Co, I create calm, meaningful and intimate wedding ceremonies for couples who want connection, not performance.
I am proudly based in Geelong, Victoria but will travel throughout Victoria (and interstate) for the right match - This year my focus has been intentionally local, allowing me to give my couples personal, attentive and flexible support.
For Couples Who Want Meaning Without the Spotlight
My couples are often:
The Neurodiverse with specific needs.
Private couples who want meaning without performance.
Entering their next marriage.
Older couples finding love again.
Couples planning elopements, micro weddings & backyard weddings.
Same-sex couples seeking relaxed, respectful legal ceremonies.
Shy or anxious speakers.
If you don’t want:
A loud or overly theatrical ceremony,
forced or awkward moments or long speeches that don’t sound like you;
you are in exactly the right place.
My promise to you: You won’t be pushed into anything awkward. I help you say what matters with my moto; "calmly, simply, beautifully.”

Geelong Celebrant – Local & Personal
I am based in Geelong and currently service Geelong and the surrounding region. This includes local backyards, beaches, private properties, gardens and intimate venues throughout the greater Geelong area.
If you are planning your wedding in Geelong or nearby, you will receive dedicated, local support without dealing with city-based celebrants who are stretched across multiple regions.
If you are not in Geelong - please reach out anyway. I have grandchildren in Melbourne and am often over that way....any excuse!

FAQ
I offer a range of ceremonies from fully personalised weddings to elopements, “legals-only” ceremonies, and intimate micro-weddings. I also support families through other milestone ceremonies such as farewells and memorials.
Yes, you are welcome to pick any venue you love. You will need to arrange any venue permits or bookings, and I’ll take care of the legal paperwork and officiating your ceremony.
Absolutely. All legal paperwork and lodgement required for marriage are included when you book with me so you can focus on your love story, not the admin.
I recommend booking at least 12 months in advance, especially for weekends or seasonal dates. Legally, your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) must be lodged at least 1 month before the ceremony. Booking early ensures your preferred date is available and allows plenty of time to personalise your ceremony and complete all legal requirements.
Its important to know this; I only take 8-10 bookings a year. I am driven by the experiece not the pay (!!) and I promise to give every ceremony my 100% so I am NOT turning over 100's of weddings a year - just yours (and a couple more)
I believe every love story is one-of-a-kind. I take time to get to know you, listen to your history, and understand what matters most to you. Then I craft a ceremony that reflects your journey; your connection, your values, and your vision for the day. Making the ceremony feel genuine, heartfelt, and uniquely yours.
Absolutley! I have a back up team of witnesses who woluld love to witness your marriage. They are professional, funny, not-so-funny (1) and genuinely great people - you can come alone and leave married. Leave the rest to me.
