March 2026

Pat was such an incredible celebrant. We wanted a short, sweet and lighthearted ceremony and he listened and delivered. He kept us calm and made the flow of events feel so natural and full of love. He slipped in a few jokes which got the guests laughing. He exceeded our expectations and was a pivotal part in making our day so special. Would highly recommend him if you’re after someone that’s understanding, a clear communicator and goes above and beyond for his couples! Thank you again Pat! :)

Catholic wedding celebrant in Gold Coast

My fiancé and I are planning to get married in Gold Coast and are looking for a celebrant who can incorporate our Catholic faith into the ceremony. While we understand that celebrants are unable to perform a full religious ceremony, we would love for the celebrant to profess the Catholic faith and include some scripture readings during the ceremony, as this is very important to us. If you know of anyone who could provide this type of service, we would greatly appreciate your recommendation. Thank you, Paula

Pat Mac Anally - Irish Celebrant on the Gold Coast

Indeed, a catholic celebrant can perform a civil marriage. They can also add scripture readings, prayers and blessings of rings. However, the marriage is not a sacramental marriage. I would be honoured to conduct this ceremony for you.

Can we do funny vows

Pat Mac Anally - Irish Celebrant on the Gold Coast

Yes, you can, a bit of humour will break the tension and help you enjoy what your partner is promising. However, I say "a bit". Essentially vows should reflect your relationship to date and what you want going down the marriage pathway. Just don't be tooooo long. Enough is better than tooooo much.

will you incorporate some of my spirit into it

i want to do some saging

Pat Mac Anally - Irish Celebrant on the Gold Coast

Absolutely, as a Celebrant I would be seeking out your personality and spirit in our introductory meetings. I would incorporate these into the welcome words, introductory to your vows, and exchange of rings. It would be lifeless without doing this. Your spirit and personality should shine through.
