John Beck Marriage Celebrant
OVERVIEW
Now, what do you want your ceremony to be like?
Most couples I work with want a marriage ceremony that is not too long, relaxed, a few laughs and memorable. But still thoughtful and respectful without making it boring for the guests, so let me help you with that!
My presentation style can be best described as a friendly professional ceremony, confident, engaging and enthusiastic with a few laughs, a few sobby bits and NO FUSS!
Well, maybe a little fuss.
How would you describe your ceremony?
I'd love to hear what your needs and expectations are so let's get together for a chat, and I will explain how I can help you in detail.
If you are still reading this, you have seen you read or heard something about me you like, and you have some questions. So get in touch and let's talk.
No need to be nervous, I am friendly, house trained and rarely bite.
It's not what a celebrant does; it’s how they do it that makes the difference.
About
My first full-time job was at 3KZ (now Gold FM) as an office and production assistant while studying to be a radio DJ. My on-air career never made it to fruition, and with two friends, I started a mobile DJ business in the mid-80s. After observing so many Celebrants while supplying the music at ceremonies, I realised that being a marriage Celebrant is what I was designed to do.

FAQ
My fee for a wedding ceremony ranges in price depending on many factors, for the record they range from $550 for a very basic registry style wedding to $ 1100. But it’s typically between $850 and $950 for ceremonies within Melbourne and surrounding suburbs.
Rehearsals are important not just so we can rehearse, It's another chance for us to spend time together and get to know each other. Also, I get to meet some of the bridal party and maybe parents. By having a rehearsal it will make you and your bridal party be much more relaxed on the day. So yes rehearsals are included in my fee, except for the basic registry style ceremony.
You probably have many questions to ask; and, I would welcome the opportunity to explain the full process and the costs for my services when we meet. If you are open to exploring the possibility’s, want to know how I can help you, and the creative process behind making your ceremony one that your guests will talk about happily, for years to come, then we should get together for a chat.
