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
  • Relaxed, upbeat delivery

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!

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!

Couples consistently describe Lachie as a calm, approachable celebrant who makes the planning journey feel easy rather than overwhelming. The experience is fuelled by proactive communication, thorough guidance on vows and ceremony design, and a knack for turning a ceremony into a personal, relaxed, and genuinely fun reflection of the couple. On the day, his warm presence, sharp preparation, and ability to engage guests kept everything running smoothly while underscoring the couple’s story. Strengths include clear responsiveness, meticulous logistics, and a vibe that blends humour with heartfelt moments. The recurring feedback is that Lachie delivers an unforgettable, stress-free ceremony tailored to you.

June 2025

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!

Lachie was amazing! He made us feel at easy through the ceremony and was a great communicator throughout the whole process. He totally got us and understood how to make the ceremony we wanted to come together.

We LOVED having Lachie as our celebrant and MC, he made the entire planning process straightforward and not overwhelming, was super easy to contact in the lead up to our day and was keen to build a ceremony that was individual to us as a couple and not boring (that was our biggest fear!!). So many of our friends and family said what a good choice we’d made and how entertaining Lachie made our ceremony and reception! 1000/10, hope neither of us ever have to get married again but if we did we’d go with Lachie again!

Lachie is very good at this! We had a couple of meetings beforehand, Lachie gave us plenty of guidance to design the ceremony, and the whole build up was enjoyable. On the day Lachie managed everything perfectly and created a wonderful vibe for us and our guests. Highly recommend.
