"We are so grateful to have had Brenden both officiate our wedding, and also act as our DJ and MC. From our first meeting, he made us feel at ease and truly listened to our vision for the day. His warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail helped create a beautiful ceremony that reflected our love perfectly. He was so easy to work with, and even acted as a pseudo wedding coordinator at times helping to communicate with our other vendors. All of our guests commented on how personal and heartfelt his ceremony was. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to guide us through such a special moment in our lives. Brenden's DJ skills are also unmatched, working with us to curate a specialised playlist that formed the vibes for the night. He had our guests ripping up the dancefloor all night. Thank you, Brenden, for making our day unforgettable!" - Nicole & Luca

"What can I say?
I don’t think my wedding would’ve been the same without Brenden A.k.a Married by the Beard.

From our initial discussions, The lead up, and The Big Day - he made the process so easy, he was so helpful and got us so excited for the best day of our lives.

His fun relaxed non-traditional approach is epic and truly matched the vision we had for our wedding. He was the perfect celebrant, Banter, interviewer and Dj. Whilst  we didn’t have him as an MC I I know he would’ve been great at this too.

Our guests loved Married by the Beard almost as much as us. Commenting that this was one of the funnest most relaxed and authentic ceremonies they had attended. There was nothing stiff about it just plenty of laughs and cheers, Funny personalisation And the right amount of serious sweet and sentimental moments.

Banter with the Beard was incredible. A perfect addition to the day but also personalise way for us to look back on the day and cherish those memories Plus a healthy dose of laughs in Married life advice from our friends and family.

The night wouldn’t have been complete without the dance floor and the Dj at the helm. Everyone was up dancing. The vibes were high and the music was tailored to our request perfectly.

Thank you, Brenden! You helped us create and deliver a wedding that exceeded our expectations and dreams. A day we will truly remember forever"
