About

I've been a celebrant now for 10 years and have done hundreds of weddings. I've been to dozens of different venues and it's always wonderful to see how each of you are dressed and what themes you are having. I love the flowers, the bridesmaids and the boys of course. I've done weddings by lakes, rivers, streams, chapels, private homes, beaches, and a boat. There have been children, dogs and horses. I work hard to make sure that on the day we have a stress free and relaxed ceremony.

I could not recommend Ann enough! She is exactly the person you want as your celebrant, she is amazingly organized, and created the perfect ceremony after hearing what we were after. It was an effortless process because she was all over the task. We prioritized a quick ceremony because we had lots of young children at our wedding and she made sure we had that, but made it special with a beautiful poem, things my husband and I loved about each other (as a surprise to one another), acknowledging our departed loved ones, and a gorgeous ring exchange moment. If I could do the ceremony again, I honestly wouldn't change a single thing. Thank you Ann, it was absolutely perfect <3

It was a great pleasure to collaborate with Ann for our simple and intimate commitment ceremony in Yarra Glen, a region where she has so many established connections and so much prior experience. We appreciated Ann's time and dedication over several months and meetings to tailor a ceremony that felt comfortable and was unique to both of our personalities. Her experience shone through in every aspect of the process, from the planning to the ceremony, which made us feel at ease. We would like to thank Ann for playing an integral part in such an important time of our lives, and would highly recommend her to anyone searching for an experienced, skilled and compassionate celebrant!

Ann was amazing. We initially found Ann through the venue as she had officiated a marriage at Bonfire Station previously, and when we reached out Ann was very easy and relaxed about setting a date for our first (and only) meeting. When we went to Ann's beautiful home office, she instantly made us feel relaxed but also in safe hands! As the wedding location was a little out of the way, we did not have a run through the day prior, however the ceremony went without a hitch, and it was the most beautiful ceremony we could have asked for. Ann's professionalism and ease was much appreciated by both myself & my husband, and all our guests also commented on how good the celebrant was. I would recommend Ann to anyone looking to get married by a relaxed, stress-free celebrant.

Are there any celebrants familiar with classic filipino weddings?

I am looking to find a celebrant who is familiar with the classic filipino wedding ceremonies and also familiar with the scriptures and prayers as well. Someone based in Melbourne and happy to travel up to 2hrs from Melbourne.

Ann Flockhart Civil Celebrant

Several years ago I officiated at a Philipino wedding and incorporated the traditional prayes adn customes associated with the custom. I liked the symbolism of the cuatoms, being the coins and veil. I worked with the bride closely and she introduced me to her customs which we covered in the ceremony.

conjugal status on marriage certificate?

Do both husband and wife have to mention their conjugal status (if one of them previously divorced) on their marriage certificate? Are there any options with the marriage certificates like can they choose any marriage certificate that does not require conjugal status details?

Ann Flockhart Civil Celebrant

The law states that you must say your conjugal status on the Notice of Intended and Marriage Certificate. It does not show on the Presentation Certificate.
