Planning your ceremony and feeling unsure where to start? I’ve created a free Calm Ceremony Guide to help you explore what feels right for you. No pressure, no expectations. I’m happy to email it to you as a gentle starting point for your special day. This is because, at The Love & Legacy Co, I create calm, meaningful and intimate wedding ceremonies for couples who want connection, not performance. Also, as an exclusive Easy Weddings offer, couples who find me here can enjoy 20% off their 2026 wedding ceremony, making it even easier to plan a wedding that truly feels like you.
I am proudly based in Geelong, Victoria and exclusively service Geelong, the Bellarine and Surf Coast area. My focus is 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 — calmly, simply, beautifully.”

I am based in Geelong and exclusively service Geelong and the surrounding region. This includes local backyards, beaches, private properties, gardens and intimate venues throughout the greater Geelong area.

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, as long as the chosen location is within the Greater Geelong region, 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 10-12 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.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your day, especially from so far away! It was such a joy to help bring your vision of a small and intimate wedding to life, and I loved being able to support you with the little details along the way. Seeing everything come together, from the vows to the setting, was truly special. I’m so glad it felt relaxed and stress-free, and that we could add a touch of humor along the way too. Sending you both big congratulations and all my love as you begin this next chapter together!
