OVERVIEW

What You’ll Love About Working with Weddings by the Beard For Your Melbourne, Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley Wedding:

  • Upbeat, easy-going energy. Lachie brings warmth, humour, and confidence to your ceremony, helping everyone feel relaxed, included, and ready to celebrate.
  • All heart, all personality. Lachie shapes your ceremony around the moments, stories, and little details that make your relationship feel so loved and worth celebrating.
  • Organised support from start to finish. Legal paperwork, BDM liaising, planning chats, ceremony drafts, music support, and on-the-day delivery are handled with care so you can enjoy the lead-up.


“You made it so simple and easy, we didn't have to worry about a thing!” - Claudia and Aaron


Lachie starts by getting to know your kind of love story: the moments worth retelling, the people who matter most, the traditions you want to include, and the ones you’re keen to leave behind. His ceremonies are written individually, with room for laughter, familiar wording, personal vows, music, aisle moments, and whatever else feels right for you. The result is warm, relaxed, and full of character, with Lachie guiding the process so the ceremony feels easy instead of overwhelming.

He also keeps the official side beautifully under control. Legal paperwork, BDM lodgement, a PA system, microphone, ceremony music, planning support, and a pre-wedding chat are all part of the experience. Couples can also book a legals-only or elopement ceremony for something simple and streamlined, while his MC service is ideal if you want that same upbeat, organised energy carrying through the reception. Entrances, speeches, cake cutting, dancing, games, announcements, he’ll keep things moving so you can stay happily in the moment.

  • Fully personalised ceremony scripts
  • Legals-only and elopement options
  • Optional MC services
  • BDM paperwork managed
  • PA system and microphone included
  • Music before, during, and after the ceremony
  • Pre-wedding planning support

About

I'm a Marriage Man! I love to talk love with anyone that will listen, I'm based out of Camberwell. If its warm, you'll find me sitting in the garden with my Pup, Pippi trying to find the perfect words to use for each of my couples ceremonies. If its cold, on the couch (still with Pip) with a cuppa. I will never copy and paste a ceremony! In my spare time I play board games and dnd and madly propagate houseplants.

FAQ

No! Leave all that to me.

I'll manage all the paperwork, all you need to do is show me some documents (Passport/Birth Cert ect) when i'm filling it out and I'll lodge all the paperwork with BDM for you!

I even buy every one of my couples the final Marriage Certificate rather than make you wait and buy it yourself!

50% is a booking fee taken to secure your day with me. I take that day off my calendar. (I'll never do more than one wedding a day, that day is YOURS)

The other 50% is paid 1 month before the wedding for the ceremony itself. 

I'm friends with some incredble celebrants, if disaster strikes and I can't be at your wedding, first, I'll cry. Then; I'll get one of my friends to rock up and perform the ceremony for you.

This is why I break my payment in half, so that I have something to give to my mates for their time.

(I have never had to do this and fingers crossed I never will but its better to be safe than sorry)

Not if you don't want to,

I have a Vow Pack I give to all my couples, it has about 150 different vows I have written or stolen from media, or my previous couples have be gracious enough to share with me after their wedding.

Its a great launching point if you are writing your own, its also there if you want to grab the best bits and have it all built for you!

For anyone seeking a marriage celebrant look no further than Weddings by the Beard. Lachie approaches each wedding with a personalized touch, ensuring that you and your partner take center stage, and tailoring the ceremony to embrace the unique aspects of your relationship. He's able to take the stress out of crafting a ceremony with couples through easy to understand language and examples proved invaluable to us, which he's developed through years of experience. Lachie's friendly and easygoing nature made catching up with him to discuss the Wedding ceremony feel exactly like you would be catching up with a friend. On the big day, Lachie orchestrated a seamless ceremony welcoming guests, ensuring everyone was able to laugh, smile and even shed a tear. His meticulous attention to detail was evident in every aspect, down to ensuring that a pen awaited for the signing of the Wedding Certificate, alleviating any stress for both of us. I can't recommend booking Lachie highly enough; he truly set the tone for a day filled with joy and laughter, resulting in multiple guests asking where we found him. If I could give him six star review, I would without hesitation. I'll definitely be steering all my friends towards Weddings by the Beard for their upcoming weddings. Lachie - thank you for truly kickstarting a magical day with a ceremony we're never going to forget, you honestly made the entire process easy and effortless!

Lachie was an absolute delight to work with, from the moment we sat down with him for a beer we knew he was the man we wanted to marry us. He provided us with a huge amount of handy recourses and guidance during the leadup to the wedding which cannot be understated. The ceremony went off without a hitch, before we walked down the aisle Lachie was there with his calming presence. The time and care that was taken to write the script was evident to everyone at the wedding, it was as if a mate was up there telling our story. We received so many glowing reviews from the guests about how "us" the ceremony was (due to the pre work Lachie had done) and how amazing a part of the day Lachie played. Thanks so much Lachie!

Lachlan made myself and my husband feel so comfortable from the first day we met him we knew he was the celebrant for us! he spoke so beautifully during the ceremony with laughs to ease our nervousness. he made sure to find us at the venue to talk to us individually to see how we were and if there was anything he could do. i could not recommend anyone more we had so many people tell us how awesome he was. thank you lachie for being you!

We cannot thank Lachie enough for how incredible he made our wedding day! Lachie was absolutely incredible throughout the whole process and made us feel so at ease over one of the most anxiety inducing days of our lives! We could not have asked for a better celebrant! Lachie created a ceremony that was so perfectly us, and his intimate yet relaxed approach was exactly what we wanted. When we were looking for celebrants, we were both worried we were going to have to suffer through a boring, stiff ceremony just to get the formalities out of the way, but after meeting Lachie we found out that our ceremony could be incredibly personal and still feel like us. Our ceremony ended up being our favourite part of the day and we both felt so calm, excited and full of love from start to end! Lachie made our wedding day so beautiful and helped us create memories we will cherish forever. He truly is incredible at what he does and we cannot recommend him more if you're looking for the best celebrant ever!

My wife and I can't rave about Lachie enough. He organised everything we wanted for our wedding and was totally intuitive, anticipating everything we didn't even know we wanted. Lachie was professional, he was switched on and totally prepared. Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing about how every aspect of the planning and wedding day itself went ahead. I love that we have memories of a great day, but it's pretty awesome that the memories leading up to that are special as well. Hire this man for your wedding!
