If a wedding ceremony filled with laughter, fun, and a dash of sentiment sounds perfect to you, then celebrant Mark Simpson is a terrific find. This dynamic, Sydney-based celebrant is as engaging as they come, and with 20+ years in musical theatre, TV, and film, it’s not hard to see why. Confident and energetic, Mark will officiate a beautiful, vibrant ceremony that you'll treasure forever.
Situated in Sydney, Mark Simpson is a confident, fun celebrant with a penchant for designing and officiating joy-filled ceremonies. A former children’s entertainer and musical theatre aficionado, Mark uses his creativity and confidence in front of audiences to deliver ceremonies in an engaging and entertaining manner - but that’s not to say he doesn’t perfectly balance lightheartedness and emotion. Mark manages to incorporate elements of both in his customised ceremonies, simultaneously keeping guests amused while adding touches of romance for his couples.
With a background in television and film, Mark is also excellent at remembering notes and lines - which really comes in handy when he acts as an MC. A fun and humorous MC, Mark brings his signature enjoyable energy to his role, while also checking off the necessary details, including where the loos are and when speeches will commence. Although his style leans more towards lighthearted, Mark can certainly dial up the formalities if you’re hoping for a more sophisticated occasion.
Not your average celebrant, Mark offers both these services in his ‘complete package’. This convenient wedding package includes a photobooth and MC and DJ services - pretty much everything you need to host a lively, stress-free wedding with all the frills.
"In our mind, there was no one else that we could imagine being the MC of our wedding reception other than Mark. Mark was an absolute hit with our guests and kept the laughter flowing throughout the night. Mark’s professional, lighthearted, and fun-filled approach was exactly what we had hoped for on the night, and he certainly delivered! If you are looking for an MC that is sure to make your wedding day or night an absolute success, Mark is your man!” Liz

About
Hi, I'm Mark. I'm an actor with a background in musical theatre, film and television. I've toured nationally and internationally with shows such as Hairspray, Kinky Boots and The Rocky Horror Show. I also worked for years as a puppeteer on children's television playing Pirate Hootbeard on Giggle & Hoot. This was excellent training for my new role as a dad. My wife and I were married on Sydney Harbour 2 years ago and now have a little red head named Griffin. Life's pretty good.

Hi there,
There is no option legally to get marriage certificates without a ceremony. For the marriage to be legal,-
-the Notice of Intent to Marry must be completed 1 month prior to the ceremony
-The Monitum must be said
-you must each say the legal vows
-you must have two witnesses over the age of 18
-you must sign the 3 marriage certificates.
Just because it is called a ceremony doesn't mean it is particularly involved. I can do a legals only ceremony which needn't take more than 5 minutes to complete all of the above. It can also take place wherever you like. I can even come to your house and perform it in your kitchen.
Regards,
Mark
