OVERVIEW
Hi, I’m Sharni! Your Gold Coast marriage celebrant, lover of a good laugh, a heartfelt moment and making sure the wedding is YOUR day, because I’m not afraid to do things a little differently. I may be new to Easy Weddings, though I’m certainly not new to wedding industyr and saying “I now pronounce you...” You’ll find reviews from my couples on my Instagram and webiste while I build them up here.
Here's what you can expect when we work together:
"Sharni has a way with words and captured our story perfectly. From the very first meeting to the end, Sharni has taken care of everything, answered every silly question (without making us feel silly) and we did not have to worry about a thing."
A little more about me
I'm a Gold Coast marriage celebrant who genuinely loves getting to know the people behind the wedding. I want to hear what makes you laugh, the habits you’ve picked up from each other, the things you’ve been through together and what you’re most looking forward to about being married. Because those conversations are where the best ceremony ideas come from.
You might be planning a big celebration with everyone you love, a relaxed elopement or a small legal ceremony with just your favourite people. I offer personalised wedding ceremonies across the Gold Coast and South East Queensland, and I'm equally happy creating something emotional and romantic as I am bringing a little humour into the mix.
I'm also proudly part of the LGBTQIA+ community, so creating a welcoming, comfortable space for every couple is something that matters to me personally. Your traditions, culture, family dynamics and the people you want involved are all part of the conversation. I won't assume what your wedding is supposed to look like.
And if you're wondering about all the paperwork, vows, timelines and little details, I've got you. Over the years, I've put together a pretty thorough planning guide and process that covers the questions couples often don't even realise they need to ask. I like being one step ahead, and judging by my couples' feedback, they seem to appreciate it!
So tell me, what have you got planned? Whether you've got a Pinterest board full of ideas or absolutely no clue where to start, I'd love to hear about it.
"Sharni's mix of professionalism and laid-back energy made us feel instantly happy to share our big day with her."
About
When I'm not marrying couples, I'm usually busy being a mum, hunting down a good doughnut or making another list (I'm a Virgo, I can't help it!). I love a good laugh, a genuine conversation and getting to know people beyond the small talk. I'm pretty organised, a little cheeky and always up for a chat!

FAQ
My biggest advice? Find someone you can have a proper conversation with. You're trusting this person with a pretty important moment, so you should feel comfortable asking questions, having a laugh and being completely yourselves.
I'm quite relaxed, a little cheeky and very organised (Virgo problems!). I love getting to know my couples beyond the usual wedding questions. If we can chat easily, laugh together and you feel like I genuinely understand what you're after, that's a pretty great start.
Absolutely! You'd be surprised how many couples tell me they're nervous about being the centre of attention.
I take the time to get to know you beforehand, so by the time your wedding arrives, I'm not just a stranger standing beside you with a microphone.
I'll talk you through what to expect, guide you through the ceremony and help you settle into the moment. If we need a little laugh to break the tension, I'm pretty good at that too
That's completely fine. You don't need to arrive with a Pinterest board, a script or even a clear idea of what a wedding ceremony involves.
I'll ask about the two of you, what you enjoy, what you'd rather avoid and how you imagine the day unfolding. From there, we can work out which elements make sense for you.
I've also put together a pretty thorough ceremony planning guide over the years, covering everything from vows and legal requirements to the little details most couples haven't thought about yet. You'll have plenty of guidance without having to figure everything out yourselves.
I'll spend time learning about your relationship, including the little details that might not seem particularly important at first.
Depending on your ceremony package, we'll explore your story through conversations and questionnaires. I love hearing the different ways couples remember the same moments, and sometimes those details become the best parts of a ceremony.
I'm a big believer that the words should sound natural when they're spoken aloud. I want your guests to recognise the people I'm talking about, not feel like they're listening to a script with different names added.
Of course! Not everyone wants a big wedding, and there's nothing wrong with keeping things simple.
I offer intimate and legal marriage ceremonies on the Gold Coast, as well as more personalised celebrations across the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads and surrounding areas.
If you want something short and relaxed with just your witnesses, we can talk through what is legally required and what personal touches you'd like to include. You don't need a huge guest list to make the occasion important.
Please do tell me your ideas! I've had couples involve their children, include personal surprises and do things a little differently from the usual wedding traditions.
Maybe you'd like your children to have a special role, your dog to make an appearance or your guests to be involved in something unexpected.
I'll help you work out how to include those moments so they make sense within the ceremony. And if you're planning a surprise for your partner, don't worry, I'm very good at keeping secrets!
First of all, you won't be the first couple to worry about this!
I'll guide you through the ceremony, help you prepare your vows and make sure you know what's happening. I also have beautiful vow folders, so there's no expectation that you memorise everything.
I'm naturally a planner, and I like having the details sorted well before the day. If something unexpected happens, we'll deal with it. Your job isn't to manage the ceremony while you're standing there getting married. That's what I'm there for.
