Virginia Lawrence Marriage Celebrant

I want you to feel that the day flows seamlessly, your guests love it, and everyone goes home with wonderful memories.

I value integrity, authenticity, and service. I’m easy-going and relaxed, warm and funny. At the same time I pride myself on my professionalism and organisation.  You can trust me to guide you through the legal aspects, work with your venue staff, and other suppliers, and go with the flow no matter what happens on the day.  I just want you to enjoy getting married and experience the moment to the full.

My favourite weddings are... actually, I love all weddings, whatever the style, size, or location.  I will give you a ceremony where we all smile, laugh, shed a tear or two, fill up with happiness, and feel we’ve all witnessed something very special and significant.  I relish the research for themed weddings, take delight in telling your story, rejoice in finding rituals to suit you, adore anything that makes your ceremony truly yours. Here in Australia we’re allowed to get married anyway we choose, and my job is to help you make that happen.

Living in Kallista in the beautiful Dandenongs, I am close to the Yarra Valley, Melbourne, Eastern suburbs, Mornington Peninsula, and Gippsland.  I love weddings, and I love travel even more. I can marry you anywhere in Australia!

I charge roughly between $350 and $750, depending on whether you want to select and personalise a simple pre-written ceremony or have one created especially for you. Mid-week weddings cost less than those at the weekend, and sometimes I need to charge extra for travel. 

Give me a call or email me.
Let’s have a coffee and a chat – obligation free – and see where it takes us.

See you soon!

About

Confession. I moved to Australia from the UK 20 years ago and still haven't got my head around footy. Instead, I’m mad about music, crazy about cryptic crosswords, wild for wine. On a free day, if I’m not planning my next adventure abroad, you’ll find me getting muddy in my hillside garden or visiting other gardeners for inspiration. I’m easily pleased: books, Scrabble, friends & family, good food – that’s all I need. And of course, I LOVE being a marriage celebrant. I hope to meet you soon!
