OVERVIEW

Michelle is a highly experienced live presenter and public speaker, with over 20 years experience in broadcast television and on-stage hosting. (You can learn more about her previous work here www.michelleorpe.com) With a calm, assured presence and impeccable delivery, she is completely at ease guiding ceremonies of any size, in any setting, from intimate elopements to large-scale celebrations. She specialises in ceremonies that feel relaxed, polished and genuinely reflective of who you are as a couple. Every ceremony is written from scratch, shaped around your story, your values, and the atmosphere you want to create on the day. Her approach blends thoughtful storytelling with seamless structure, allowing your ceremony to flow naturally while setting the tone for everything that follows.

Warm, down to earth, and highly organised, Michelle is deeply invested in getting to know her couples. From the first conversation through to the final words spoken on the day, she offers clear guidance, stress free planning, and premium presentation. Couples love her steady presence, attention to detail, and ability to balance heartfelt moments with warmth and ease.

As far as delivery goes, this is where she shines, she balances the perfect level of professionalism, humour, emotion, and warmth, using her skills to make every moment land exactly as it should.

What you’ll love about working with Michelle for your wedding:

  • Calm, confident delivery. With over 20 years as a professional public speaker and TV presenter, Michelle brings a reassuring presence that keeps everything flowing smoothly, even when emotions run high.
  • Truly personal ceremonies. Every ceremony is written entirely from scratch, with no templates or recycled wording. Michelle takes the time to deeply understand each couple and craft something authentic and meaningful, using her script writing experience to keep the ceremony balanced and flowing. I craft ceremonies that feel immersive and memorable - designed with narrative flow, emotional build and meaningful moments.
  • Easy natured, cool-headed and organised. Michelle’s relaxed nature, clear and extensive onboarding process, and thoughtfully designed questionnaires make the entire experience feel premium, enjoyable, and stress free.
  • Luxury Experience & Keepsakes. My Premium Plus package includes beautifully curated keepsakes - a handcrafted scroll box for your Marriage Certificate, elegant vow folders to hold your beautifully presented vows and a luxury couples’ hamper - thoughtfully designed to elevate your ceremony into a refined, high-end experience.
  • End-to-End Guidance
    I manage both the legal process and the creative vision, giving my couples confidence and clarity from booking to wedding day.

We were so lucky to have Michelle as the celebrant. She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Her warmth, professionalism and genuine way with people made everyone feel comfortable straight away. She had guests smiling and laughing throughout the ceremony, while still keeping everything beautifully organised and meaningful. It was clear she truly cares about the couples she works with and the experience she creates for everyone involved. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a celebrant who brings joy, laighter, calm and professionalism to such a special day. Emma & Rob

About

Hi, I'm Michelle Louise, mum of two beautiful kiddos, lover of adventure, joy, and (of course) weddings. I decided to hang up my TV hat and swap London for the Yarra Valley to be near my awesome sister and soak up the stunning scenery. Becoming a celebrant was the perfect transition: country life, family time and doing what I love - weddings. In my spare time, I'm a hiker, filmmaker, pianist, and wine enthusiast. And the best part? I no longer have to crash weddings, I get paid to be there :-)

FAQ

Depending on the package, I offer everything from a simple legals-only ceremony to a fully personalised ceremony, plus professional MC duties and public speaking training for your wedding party. All services include legal paperwork, unlimited support via phone/email, a comprehensive ceremony information pack, a personalised script, and an expertly delivered ceremony on the day. Please see my pricing and packages for a full breakdown of services.

You get as much or as little imput as you would like.  Every ceremony I create is completely unique, tailored specifically to you as a couple. From the tone and structure to the wording and personal moments, you have full say every step of the way.

My onboarding process is intentionally extensive, so I really get to know you, your story, your personalities, and what matters most to you. That way, your ceremony doesn’t just sound beautiful, it actually feels like you. You can choose to be as thorough as you like using my easy and fun questionnaires, if you're happy to leave it to me then I will get started and you can give me feedback as we go.

Like any other service you purchase, there will be options for everyone. I’m not the cheapest option and that’s very intentional. What I offer is a premium, highly personalised service with a very particular back ground in public speaking.

You’re not just booking someone to turn up and read a script. You’re getting extensive onboarding, thoughtful collaboration, custom-written wording, luxury extras, guidance every step of the way, a very professional delivery and a celebrant who genuinely knows you and your story.

For couples who value a more premium service and polished delivery, the investment makes sense.

It is completely up to you if you include personal vows in your ceremony and I am more than happy to provide guidance and feedback to you both! I can help craft something together that reflects your relationship or if you prefer something simple, we can keep it classic and meaningful. I also offer public speaking training as an addded extra so you can practice your vows and speeches.

As soon as you can! Popular dates can book out quickly, especially weekends and peak seasons. The legal minimum time to submit your Notice of Intended Marriage is one month before the ceremony, but ideally, get in touch well before that to secure the date and so we can start planning your perfect day.

Absolutely, I love to travel. I have friends in the Gold Coast who I love to stay with so no need for travel expenses there. Anywhere else there might be an added cost for travel and accomodation so please ask me and I can give you a quote. If it's somewhere I've always wanted to visit then I might be able to waive the travel completely.

I do, so you don't need to worry about a thing, I have the best professional level equpment, including a Bose S1 Pro + speaker along with a Sennheiser AVX-ME2835-SET-3 Combo so none of your guests will miss a thing. I

Simply send me a message or give me a call! I offer a no-pressure, obligation-free chat so we can get to know each other, answer any questions you may have, and see if I’m the right fit for your big day.

February 2026

We could not have asked for a better MC for our large wedding celebration. Michelle brought incredible warmth, energy and polish to the evening. She guided the reception beautifully, managed transitions smoothly and kept the formalities and celebrations moving at just the right pace. When timings shifted, she adapted quickly and kept everything feeling relaxed and natural. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic she was. We are beyond thankful she was part of our special day.

Lucinda S.

Michelle Louise Marriage Celebrant & MC

What a wonderful review, thank you so much Lucinda, it was such a special day and I can't tell you how much I loved being a part of it. You two are awesome and I'm still thinking about stalking your honeymoon, so if you notice me hiding behind a palm tree don't be surprised :-)

February 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful celebrant and MC for our 10-year vow renewal. From the beginning, Michelle took the time to understand our story and created a ceremony that felt true to us, never felt scripted or generic. Michelle brought such a fun, joyful energy, keeping the mood high and the celebration flowing all night. We received so many compliments about how special the whole day felt. It was everything we hoped for. Thank you for being such an important part of our love story, Michelle. We’d happily recommend you to anyone.

Renee M.

It was my absolute pleasure Renee, you & Mik are the most beautiful couple and I was honoured to be a part of your special day - and what a day it was.

February 2026

From our very first meeting, Michelle made us feel completely at ease. She took the time to really get to know us and created a ceremony that felt personal, heartfelt, and so ‘us’. All our guests commented on how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was — we couldn’t have imagined a better celebrant and highly recommend her!
