Steve Begley Celebrant
OVERVIEW
Found your forever person?
How good’s that!
Now let’s celebrate your love with a wedding ceremony that’s relaxed, personal, and filled with the kind of joy and meaning that stays with you for life.
I’m Steve Begley, a local Gold Coast wedding celebrant, and I’m here to help you create a ceremony that feels like you—whether that’s light-hearted and casual, deeply emotional, or somewhere in between.
Real Ceremonies for Real Couples
Every couple’s story is different—and I believe every wedding should reflect that. I take the time to get to know you both, so we can build a ceremony that’s true to who you are and what you value.
Whether you want to write your own vows (I can help!) or keep it short and sweet, I’ll guide you through every step. You focus on soaking up the moment—I’ll take care of the legal stuff and keep things running smoothly.
Planning a Destination Wedding or Elopement?
Thinking of tying the knot with your toes in the sand, under a rainforest canopy, or at a scenic Gold Coast lookout? I specialise in elopements and destination weddings on the Gold Coast, and I love working with couples who want something intimate, relaxed, and truly special.
Whether you're coming from interstate or overseas, I’ll help you feel at home and make sure your day is just as magic as you imagined.

Vow renewal ceremonies are a great way for couples who have been previously legally married, to reaffirm their love and commitment for one another.
They are also a wonderful way for couples to celebrate a special marriage milestone.
For couples who have been legally married overseas, it's a perfect way to share a special day with their local family and friends.
Exclusive Offer
A small, intimate Wedding - or an "Elopement" is a shorter and simple ceremony.
It entails only the minimum legal working and requires the support of only two witnesses.
This might be your perfect option, especially for a smaller gathering of up to 30 people.
The simplicity of this means you can marry privately, at your favourite spot. A deserted beach, in a special park or garden.
Exclusive Offer
* An optional inclusion to the Simple Elegance Ceremony or "I Still Do" Package.

Your reception is as important as your ceremony, and by having a Master of Ceremonies at your wedding will ensure the smooth and timely running of the day.
Weddings and receptions are exciting celebrations.
Preparation is key to a reception that flows effortlessly, and that is why it is always recommended to hire a professional who is experienced, confident, and can be trusted.
You could have a guest or family member do it - but they will have to remember to hold back on their wine consumption. We've all heard of stories where its gone all wrong!
Guests, the wedding party and the bride and groom are usually buzzing with good wishes, sentimental tears, and later, food, fun and dancing. With a mix for friends, families, new in-laws, co-workers, and neighbours, things can become quite chaotic.
To keep the ceremony moving along, to make sure that everything the bride and groom want to have happen at their reception takes place, the "MC" at a wedding reception is the point person with the microphone in hand to keep the energy and flow to this part of your day.
With years of experience - I can make it work for you and all you need to do is relax and enjoy the party!

FAQ
During the ceremony, there are four things that must happen.
Outside that we can create your dream ceremony, as simple or elaborate as you want!
Ideally these original documents should be sighted at the time of lodging your NOIM with your celebrant.
An authorised Marriage Celebrant is appointed by the Federal Government to solemnise marriages according to the Marriage Act 1961. They may solemnise marriages anywhere in Australia including outside the State or Territory in which they reside. This means although I am based in South Australia - I can come to you wherever you are in Australia to officiate your day.
There are two main tasks - the legal side of the wedding ensuring paperwork is completed on time, accurately, solemnising your wedding on the day and then registering the ceremony soon after.
I will also help you to plan, design and deliver a ceremony that reflects the personality, "the feel" and wishes of both of you.
As soon as you have a date - it is really wise to find that perfect Celebrant who aligns with you and lock them in.
My calendar is filling fast and as with Photographers and venues - to get the best person... well me, to help you, guide you and support you through your planning and day - so book straight away!
Dates are still available in 2024 and bookings for 2025 are now open.
You must:
As long as you are no longer legally married and can supply evidence of the ending of that marriage - divorce certificate or death certificate of your previous partner, we can move forward.

This is a great question, and one where you need to reach out to celebrants in your area to see what they offer as prices vary across the country.
Our packages start from AUD550.00 for our Micro Wedding upwards....
Most celebrants may offer a non refundable deposit to lock them in for your wedding date, with the balance due at a certain date prior to the wedding.
You do receive a Presentation Certificate on your Wedding Day, but check with each celebrant whether the payment and ordering of your official Marriage certificate from BDM (Birth Deaths and Marriages) is included, as I do.
So now armed with all this information.... happy hunting for the celebrant that you really connect with!
