A Civil Celebrant - Russell Hansen

With more than 20 years experience as an authorised civil marriage celebrant, I’ve performed more than 2,000 ceremonies. 

Many on land, some on ships, the first one on the Harbour Bridge and the first Elvis wedding in Australia (November 1999). Before there were so many celebrants to select from, I was the "go-to guy" that had a reputation for flexability. Whatever people wanted, I did my best to make it happen when no other celebrant could or would.

My aim is to make sure that you have the ceremony you want — formal or informal, sophisticated or simple. I can give you suggestions from a range of traditional ceremonies or I can tailor an individual and unique ceremony for you. I also perform ceremonies with a particular theme. Together we can create one that is right for you.

Based in Sydney, I can give you advice about locations — on land or on Sydney Harbour, because I am also a Ship Captain.

A ceremony marks and celebrates a very significant event in your life, so I urge you to find the civil celebrant that you feel most comfortable and happy with, even if it isn't me. It's your day.

Please feel free to contact me for an obligation-free meeting to discuss the ceremony you are planning.
