OVERVIEW

Your wedding, your way — with Nuala Quigley, Celebrant & MC
Choosing your celebrant is about more than finding someone to conduct a ceremony. It’s about finding someone you connect with, who understands your vision and makes you feel completely at ease.

I’m Nuala, an award-winning Gold Coast Marriage Celebrant and MC, recognised among the Top Two Celebrants in the Gold Coast & Scenic Rim in 2026. With over eight years of experience, I bring Irish charm, natural humour and calm confidence to every wedding.

What you can expect when we work together:

A ceremony that feels like you. I write every ceremony from scratch, capturing your story in a way that feels personal, natural and engaging. Nothing stiff or overly scripted.
Communication you can count on. I’m approachable, organised and responsive, so you’re never left wondering what happens next. From our first conversation to your wedding day, I’ll guide you through the details.
A calm, confident presence. Wedding days don't always go exactly to plan. I adapt when needed, keep things moving and help you feel comfortable in front of your guests.
Professional sound you can trust. My quality sound system ensures your guests can hear your ceremony clearly, including those all-important vows.
The personal touches matter. Whether you’re incorporating cultural traditions, a handfasting ritual or something entirely your own, I’ll help create a ceremony that feels right for you. I even send my brides an outfit catalogue so they can choose what I wear on their wedding day.


Looking for your Celebrant & MC?
Alongside creating your ceremony, I can host your reception as your MC, helping your day flow smoothly from “I do” to the dance floor. It’s a wonderful option if you want one familiar face who already understands your plans.

Let's have a chat. Tell me what you're planning, ask me all your questions and let's see if we're the right fit. There's no pressure — just a chance to get to know each other and start imagining your day.

On the day, I bring calm confidence, a little humour and a relaxed, professional approach so you can enjoy every moment

    FAQ

    Yes — and I genuinely love it. Whether your ceremony is local or somewhere further afield, I’m always happy to travel and make the experience feel effortless from start to finish.

    Both — in the best possible way. Your ceremony is thoughtfully tailored to you, while still honouring the timeless elements that make a wedding feel grounded, meaningful, and beautifully structured.

    Of course. Whether you’re writing your own vows, including loved ones, or weaving in something quietly significant, everything is considered and carefully placed so it feels natural on the day.

    A calm, assured presence who keeps things running smoothly — allowing you to be fully present. My role is to hold the space, set the tone, and ensure your ceremony feels effortless and memorable.

    July 2026

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We genuinely cannot recommend Nuala highly enough. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, kind and so genuinely invested in making our day special. She took the time to get to know us and created a ceremony that felt personal, heartfelt and completely “us.” What truly sets Nuala apart is the care and compassion she showed our family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. When my mum became terminally ill before our wedding, she conducted a beautiful commitment ceremony for us at the hospital so Mum could be part of such a special milestone. It was an act of kindness we will never forget. On our wedding day, Nuala was both our celebrant and MC, and she was absolutely incredible. Although our day didn’t go entirely to plan, she adapted effortlessly, kept everything running smoothly and made the whole experience feel calm and enjoyable. Her warmth, organisation and sense of humour made everyone feel comfortable and ensured our day was everything we hoped for. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about her couples and goes above and beyond, look no further. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Nuala by our side for two of the most important moments of our lives. Thank you for everything. We will be recommending you to everyone we know!

    We are so grateful for the beautiful ceremony you created for us. From our very first meeting, you made us feel comfortable, heard, and completely at ease. You took the time to truly understand our story and turned it into something heartfelt, personal, and meaningful. On the day itself, your warmth, professionalism, and calm presence made everything flow effortlessly. So many of our guests commented on how touching and authentic the ceremony felt — it was absolutely perfect. Thank you for helping to create one of the most special moments of our lives. We couldn’t have imagined a better celebrant and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for a truly memorable ceremony. Mr & Mrs Lauvi

    Madison B.

    Gold Coast Celebrant & MC

    Madi and Sam, thank you so much for your beautiful words. It was truly such a pleasure getting to know you both and sharing in such a special moment of your lives. Creating your ceremony and telling your story was an absolute joy, and I’m so glad it felt personal and meaningful for you. Hearing that your guests connected with it as well means the world. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter and wonderful adventures ahead. 💛 Nuala

    December 2023

    We planned an outdoor wedding ceremony and faced a lot of uncertainty prior to the ceremony. Nuala took all the trouble and sort out all problems for us. She was so professional from the very beginning until the end of our ceremony. Without her, it is almost impossible for us to have such a successful wedding. I cannot speak highly enough of her. We are so grateful to have her.

    Cheryl Z.

    Gold Coast Celebrant & MC

    Thank you so much, Cheryl, for such a thoughtful review. Outdoor ceremonies always come with a little unpredictability, and I’m so pleased I could take that pressure off and allow you to enjoy the experience. It was a privilege to support you from the early planning through to the final moments of your ceremony. Wishing you both every happiness.

    March 2026

    Nuptials by Nuala cannot get higher praise form ourselves. From the first phone call, Nuala made as feel so comfortable for our big day. Nuala's professionalism, knowledge and communication can only receive the top marks. Nuala's commitment and suggestions and the way Nuala presented herself on the day with the ceremony and vows cannot be faulted and we would recommend Nuptials by Nuala to anyone.

    Brian C.

    Cannot recommend her enough! She was very professional at the same. time incredibly friendly and flexible. She coordinated with us well even when we were overseas. Thank you so much Nuala.

    Kethaki J.

    Gold Coast Celebrant & MC

    Thank you, Kethaki — I really appreciate your kind words. Planning a wedding from overseas can feel like a juggling act, so I’m delighted you felt supported, flexible, and well looked after throughout. It was a pleasure working with you, and I’m so glad I could be part of your day.

    Friend conducting our ceremony

    If I have a friend conducting my ceremony and a qualified celebrant there to do the legal parts, can my friend pronounce us husband and wife at the end?

    Gold Coast Celebrant & MC

    Hi There. Yes absolutly. The celebrant can work closely with your friend to make the most out of the ceremony. You can have your friend tell your love story and do most of it however the celebrant is required to do the monitum (legal wording) and they will advise on the format of the vows. Ive done many of these kinds of ceremonies and the most important thing is the communication between your friend and the celebrant so they both understand what parts of the ceremony they are doing. Have fun and good luck! 

    Debbie D

    Looking for ideas for a small quarantine-friendly ceremony

    We are re-sizing our wedding and hoping to find a celebrant in Melbourne or Albury/Wodonga if we can't travel.

    Gold Coast Celebrant & MC

    Wishing you all the best and well done for still going ahead. I am sorry that I am not in your area, however I would suggest setting up a facebook group of guests and then your Celebrant can live stream your ceremony to as many people as you like. Another alternative is to send out a Zoom invite. Your Celebrant should be able to write a ceremony to reflect the times and make guests still feel like they are there celebrating. 

    Happy to help virtually with any advice that I can. Best of luck X 

    How does a celebrant work?

    What is the process and what should we expect from a Celebrant when choosing the right one.

    Gold Coast Celebrant & MC

    HI!

    Congratulations on your Engagement!

    My fellow Celebrants have done a wonderful job highlighting the process of your nuptials. 

    In brief, your Celebrant should be reliable - that is the most important! I got called last month the day before a wedding with a bride in tears as her Celebrant just cancelled on her. So first and foremost, the testimonials for your Celebrant should speak for themselves. Check out their social media pages and website.

    Definelty meet with them over a cuppa and see if you and your partner are comfortable with them. It will make the communications process a lot easier!

    Best of luck with your search, if you are planning a wedding in Sydney Northern Beaches or on the Gold Coast Id love to meet you for a coffee!
