OVERVIEW

Being a Marriage Celebrant is an absolute privilege. I get to help make your special day everything you ever dreamt of and more!

I am a happy, positive, warm and fun-loving person, who absolutely loves seeing people in love! I am extremely organised and will make sure any stressful moments are instantly calmed with clarity and care. Every wedding I have witnessed, I have not only been grateful to be a part of, but also cherished the close friendships that have naturally formed.

I will ensure that your Wedding Day will be special and stay in your memories forever. Your ceremony will reflect your individual personalities and the love that you both share. I have been a Senior English teacher for the last 10 years, so pride myself in totally tailoring each ceremony from scratch, so no two ceremonies are the same. I will ensure you experience a totally personalised, meaningful and heartfelt ceremony, unique with humour, heart and soul!

I am a perfectionist and take pride in my appearance, punctuality and presentation.

The whole ceremony process will be fun, exciting and I won’t stop until it is absolutely perfect!

About

I have been a Senior English teacher, and a writer, for over 15 years. Being a celebrant allows me to use my English skills; writing each of my ceremonies totally from scratch, so no two are ever the same. I can create your personalised ceremony so that it is everything you ever dreamed of and more.

We were lucky enough to have Dani as our wedding celebrant in January, after hearing so many amazing recommendations from friends and family — and now we completely understand why she is so highly spoken about. From the very beginning, we were looking for someone who was fun, energetic, professional and young, and Dani was absolutely all of that and more. From our first meeting, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Dani was incredibly warm, always smiling, genuinely engaged, and so attentive to exactly what we wanted from our ceremony. She offered so many helpful recommendations and guidance throughout the process, which made everything feel effortless and stress-free. By the time the wedding arrived, Dani honestly felt more like a friend and part of the wedding than just our celebrant. On the big day, everything went flawlessly. Dani created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere while still keeping everything professional and beautifully organised. She guided us through every moment with ease and made the ceremony feel so natural, personal and memorable. We truly cannot thank Dani enough. Just like our friends and family told us, if you want a celebrant who will exceed your expectations and make your day unforgettable — Dani is the person to see.

Dani Barker was absolutely amazing. She made our day so special and took the time to meet with us and understand our vision, tailoring the ceremony to make it truly ours. On the day she was calm and ensured our ceremony ran smoothly putting us at ease and not having to worry about anything. We're so grateful to have had Dani by our side- she made our wedding day truly unforgettable!

Our Wedding Celebrant, Danielle Barker is the consummate professional. Dani made everything seem so effortless and streamlined, whilst also being warm and personal. Nothing was too much trouble. We felt like she really listened, and quickly understood who we were and what we wanted. Our families were so excited to see us married and Danielle treated them like they were also a top priority. Danielle was easily reached and extremely responsive when we had questions. We live interstate but she met with us over Zoom, and her presence and personality put us at ease and it felt like she really understood us. Her suggestions worked! And the way she interacted with families and guests was at once respectful and warm: we are so thankful she married us! We cannot recommend Danielle enough. Excellent.

is there an extra charge to have a rehearsal?

Danielle Barker - Marriage Celebrant

A rehearsal should be a part of your celebrant's wedding package. It allows all parties involved to feel comfortable on the day. However, it is not compulsory, and many couples opt not to have a rehearsal, particulary if they would like it all to be a surprise on the day.

A rehearsal can be done at the venue, or any place that is mutually convenient for everyone. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any further questions. 

Happy planning!

Kind regards,

Danielle Barker

When should I start to think about hiring a Celebrant?

Danielle Barker - Marriage Celebrant

Once you have your date booked, a celebrant should be next on your list. Make sure you do your research to find a celebrant that fits both you and your partners personalities and needs. They need to be able to listen to everything you want and be willing to go above and beyond to make your day everything you ever dreamt of and more. You need to feel comfortable with your celebrant as this is the start of a wonderful relationship and fun journey to having your perfect day!

can i have a religious ceremony not in a church?

Danielle Barker - Marriage Celebrant

Yes, you absolutely can have a religious ceremony wherever you like. However, if you would like to receive your Certificate of Marriage in that faith denomination, then you need to be married by a priest or minister of that religion. However, if you are happy with a non religious Certificate of Marriage, then a civil celebrant is all you need. A civil service also allows you the freedom to select what you would like in your ceremony. I have a Cert IV in Theology and Ministry, so I am more than happy to answer any further questions you have.

 

Happy planning,
