Brendan Carroll Civil Celebrant
OVERVIEW
"Hey baby... I think I wanna marry you!"
Try getting that song out of your head now...!
So you're getting hitched. Congrats!!
My name is Brendan and I am a wedding celebrant and Emcee based on both the Mornington Peninsula and in Melbourne, Victoria.
I love to craft heartfelt and cheeky weddings that reflect YOUR personality. No-one wants a stuffy ceremony!
I decided to become a celebrant when friends kept asking me to Emcee their weddings... so i thought, why not be in the business of happiness full time?!
I have built a career as a drama teacher over the past decade. The energy and enthusiasm I use every day in my industry is what you can expect from me.
Fun, positive vibes.
Relaxed, personalised and... kind of dorky!
I pride myself on being one of Melbourne's best male celebrants. I make sure that you feel happy, comfortable and well looked after. I also ensure that your guests feel like they are part of the ceremony and your special day as well. I will guide you through every step of the wedding process and hopefully you will feel like you are being married by a friend: someone who knows you well!
oh and I also LOVE travel... so if you're looking to Elope, take me with you!
I could be your celebrant, or your MC, or both! So let's sit down over some fried dumplings and a few gin and tonics and start planning!
here are some great reviews from some of my couples:
“Our wedding day was more magical than we could have ever imagined, and you were such a big part of helping create that magic! Thanks for getting us all laughing, including all our guests and sharing our love story. Our guests all thought you were so much fun, and they really enjoyed themselves! Kai and I can’t stop mentioning how perfect you were for us and would highly recommend you to everyone! We will be forever grateful for your fun, fabulous and professional services.” — Sam and Kai
Brendan exceeded way beyond our expectations for a celebrant. We wanted a like minded, down to earth celebrant and Brendan was exactly how we imagined! Not only did he bring laughter, love and tears throughout our ceremony, he then was the MC for our reception! We had so many guests comment on how good he was and that he was one of the best they’d seen! Highly recommend! " - Kerryann and Jake
"We loved having Brendan as a part of our special day! He ensured it was everything we wanted and that we were both comfortable. Looking for a celebrant who understood both of us and what we envisioned, with something very relaxed and personal he was able to meet our every request! His charismatic personality made it such an easy, fun and enjoyable experience!"
- Ebony and Jack

Porque no los dos?!
Having me as your celebrant and emcee means you can relax and trust that you dont have too many cooks in the kitchen!
This is my favourite package because it means I get to stick around after the ceremony and take care of your reception... and let my hair down with you!
Did i mention it's also far cheaper to combine a celebrant and emcee together?? food for thought.
I've mentioned food so much i've made myself hungry...
Exclusive Offer
This is by far my most popular package!
When you imagine a wedding ceremony this is it. All the bells and whistles.

However, I may also poke fun at you! I cant help myself...
Typically 20 or so minutes long, I will get everyone involved! Family, friends and children. This will be the ceremony everyone will remember.
Contact me for more details.

FAQ
Absolutely! While I’m based in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, I’m always up for a bit of travel. Whether you’re tying the knot in the city, by the beach, in a winery or in the bush, I’m happy to hit the road to help you celebrate.
Yes! I love when couples ask me to do both. It keeps the day flowing beautifully... I already know your story, your vibe, and your crowd, so I can keep things relaxed, on time, and full of fun from “I do” to the last dance.
You get everything you need for a seamless, stress-free ceremony... all the legal paperwork, a personalised ceremony written just for you, a high-quality sound system, and all the guidance you could ever need. Plus, unlimited communication (calls, Zooms, emails) to make sure you’re feeling calm and confident leading up to the big day.
Hell yes! Before the wedding, we’ll have a few relaxed chats where I get to know you both... how you met, what you love about each other, and what moments really matter to you. Then I turn that into a ceremony that feels like you: heartfelt, funny, and completely unique.
Yes! that’s part of the job! I’ll prepare and lodge all the official paperwork with Births, Deaths and Marriages after the ceremony so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Most of my ceremonies run for about 20–25 minutes... long enough to feel meaningful, short enough to keep everyone smiling and engaged (no yawning guests here).
Of course! Whether it’s a reading, a cultural tradition, a cheeky friend on the mic, or a champagne toast mid-ceremony... I’ll help you weave in whatever feels right for you.
Yes, absolutely. Love is love, and it’s always an honour to celebrate it in all its forms.
Most couples book 9–18 months out, especially for peak seasons (spring and autumn). But if your date is sooner... get in touch! I might still be available.
I’ve never missed a wedding, but I always have a backup plan. I’m part of a professional network of celebrants who can step in if needed, with all your notes and ceremony details ready to go.
Yes! I’ve got lots of examples, tips, and prompts to help you write something that sounds like you... not a Pinterest quote.
Sometimes I do. Especially if you combine both celbrant and emcee! Keep an eye on my socials or get in touch to see what’s available.
Think of your MC (Master of Ceremonies) as the friendly guide who keeps the whole celebration running smoothly once the ceremony’s done. I make sure everything flows... from the entrances and speeches to the cake cutting and first dance... all while keeping the energy up and the guests entertained.
I’ll work closely with your venue, photographer, band or DJ to make sure everyone’s in the right place at the right time, without ever making it feel rushed or rigid. My job is to keep things fun, relaxed and on track, so you can focus on enjoying every moment (and not worry about what’s happening next).
