 E proporio amore

Dreaming of a lakeside ceremony in Lake Como, vows beneath Tuscan olive trees, or a Champagne-soaked celebration in the vineyards of Reims? In 2026, I’ll be based in Europe in July and August, offering personalised ceremonies for couples who want a wedding that’s as memorable as the setting.

As a full-time Celebrant and MC who’s been in the biz since 2010, I know a thing or two about weddings! Whether you’re planning a destination wedding or elopement ceremony and want the ceremony to be the most memorable part - I’m your guy!

I’m based in Sydney, Australia and can’t wait to work with couples conducting beautiful ceremonies in some of Europe’s most iconic wedding destinations; think Lake Como, Tuscany, Reims, Provence, Amalfi Coast, Santorini, Barcelona, Lisbon or somewhere the track is a little less beaten.

The Process


The best ceremonies happen when open collaboration sets the foundation for the day. As your marriage celebrant, my role is to get to know you both in the planning stages and ultimately pull together a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony that collectively captures your story, effortlessly engages guests and connects with warm authenticity. Here’s how we make that a sure thing.

  • If I sound like the celebrant for you, please complete the form below with your preferred ceremony date, time and some more background information. I’ll get back to you pronto with my availability and a quote.

  • Before you book me, we can chat over FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, phone or face-to-face to ask any pointy questions and arrive at a well-considered place you’re both happy with.

  • With the date locked in and a deposit paid, we next catch up to complete the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) together — that necessary government legal stuff. We’ll also use this time to creatively workshop a ceremony format that blows you and your guests away! I’ll start working on a custom ceremony from scratch, including your vows, if you’d like some help with those. Rest assured, I’m here for you every step of the way and will keep you updated with all the planning nitty-gritty for ongoing peace of mind.

  • We have lift-off! On the day of the ceremony, I’ll arrive early to familiarise myself with the venue and location, brief you and your party, meet the photographer and set up. Based on our thorough planning, I’ll then deliver your engaging ceremony highlighting the beautiful relationship culminating in today’s commitment. Now it's time for champagne!

  • Post-ceremony, I’ll lodge all the legal docs with BDM (Births, Deaths and Marriages) and guide you through applying for your Official Marriage Certificate. Note: this is only for those being legally married in Australia before or after the international ceremony.

SEE ME IN ACTION

Welcome to a special glimpse into the beautiful celebration of love between Kirsty and Jackson. Join me as I have the honour of being their celebrant, guiding them through this joyous occasion filled with heartfelt vows, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

FAQs

  • There are stunning elopement spots across Europe, and I can help guide you toward the right fit. Popular choices include Lake Como, Tuscany, Santorini, the Amalfi Coast, Provence, Reims, and secluded beaches in Portugal or Spain. Whether it’s a clifftop, vineyard, cobbled street or tucked-away garden, we’ll find the perfect setting.

  • There’s no limit. I create ceremonies for just the two of you, or up to 100+ guests if you’re planning a full destination wedding. What matters is that it feels right for you. If you're dreaming of something intimate and relaxed or a lively celebration with your people, I’ll tailor everything to suit.

  • Most ceremonies run around 20–30 minutes, long enough to feel meaningful and memorable, but never awkward or drawn out. That said, every ceremony is custom written and paced to match the energy and style you want. If you want something short and sweet or something with room to breathe, we can shape that together.

  • I keep things simple. We’ll meet over Zoom, stay connected via email, and I’ll share planning documents to keep everything organised. You’ll feel supported, informed and relaxed throughout no matter your timezone. My approach is calm, collaborative and clear from the get-go.

  • Absolutely. Whether it's a cliffside elopement, a beach at sunrise, or just the two of you in a backstreet Parisian café, I love crafting ceremonies for intimate celebrations. I’ve even conducted weddings while scuba diving. No group is too small, and no idea too wild.

  • While I’m not a planner, I’ve worked with a range of great photographers, stylists, and planners who travel to Europe. I’m happy to connect you with trusted professionals and share location-specific tips to help make your planning smoother.

  • In 2026, I’ll be based in Europe from April to September and available for ceremonies across Italy (Lake Como, Tuscany, Amalfi), France (Reims, Provence), Spain, Portugal and Greece. If you have your heart set on somewhere outside these regions, let’s talk. I’m open to special requests.

  • In most European countries, only government officials can perform legal marriages. I specialise in symbolic ceremonies, which means your celebration will feel real, personal, and meaningful but the legal paperwork is usually completed in your home country either before or after. I’ll guide you through this process.
