About

I love love. That’s what makes me, Josh Riess, the RomCom celebrant. I’m a sappy romantic dude and it’s your lucky day because my wife hates it, so you get to reap the rewards as I pour it all into your ceremony! ​ When you answer my questionnaires I’ll write your story by engaging in the humour of your lives, the romance of it, and your beautifully unique love story. ​ Your day is about the two of you and I’m simply the story teller. However, we’re not settling on one day. With me we go

FAQ

Absolutely. We can catch up on zoom or I’ll shout you a drink in person!

Check out the above videos for a quick overview for what will suit you! They’re short and sweet.

Of course. The ceremony is for you. Your day, your story, told by me. If there’s anything you don’t want me to talk about or want me to put it in, we make it happen.

Definitely. I can help you too

I always say budget for 30 minutes, but the ceremony goes for 15 to 20 depending on vows and readings.

I try not to wear the same colour as anyone in the bridal parties. This is to separate myself from anyone in the bridal party.

Absolutely. If you have a friend or family member who desperately needs to be involved palm them off to me and they can have a reading.

If you’re not having a DJ or musician at the ceremony, I can control this. Create a playlist, send it over and I’ll sort it out.

December 2023

Highly recommend Josh for any size wedding big or small! He was amazing catering to our very small and intimate ceremony. Even going above and beyond helping me with the little stressors of the day making sure everything was absolutely perfect and amazing! The communication and patience leading up to the day and after was everything that I needed! Could not say one bad thing about him!

I am honoured to say we were Josh’ first couple he married. Josh is so lovely and well and truly went above and beyond for our special day 🕺🏻 Nothing was ever too much trouble and his personal ceremony was beautiful and also included just the right amount of humour as we requested. Our guests were delighted with Josh’s performance on the day. I would highly recommend having josh to officiate your special day. He made ours one we will never forget. 🥰❤️🍾

Josh was great! He made a point of getting to know us and our story, was flexible throughout the process and provided advice for when we were unsure of something. Always smiling and friendly, Our 4 year old was right up there with us and Josh didn't miss a beat, delivering a solid ceremony with the exact vibe we wanted.

I cannot recommend Josh more! He was an absolute star! Everything we wanted in a celebrant. We wanted relaxed, funny, and not afraid to swear (like us)… and we bloody got it all! Every single guest loved him and some even want to seek him out for their upcoming weddings! We put our complete trust in him and he did not disappoint! If you don’t seek out Josh, your ceremony will suffer haha
