Hi, I’m Mel!

and I am a lover of all things weddings…

BIG on energy, BIGGER on connection and always around for a proper laugh (and a speech that gets you right in the feels).

I’ve always been that person - the one chatting to strangers, going in for the big hug, finding the deeper story behind the small talk.

And that’s exactly the vibe I want to bring to your ceremony.

But underneath all that fun, I’m also someone who deeply values what marriage represents.

Because in a world full of millions (okay, billions), two people choosing each other?

That’s special.

Your ceremony is the heart of your wedding day and I genuinely care about making it feel personal, meaningful and completely true to you. And rest assured, my organised personality definitely comes in handy here…

I’m someone whose own marriage brought together two cultures. As an Australian-born celebrant with Sri Lankan heritage, married to an Aussie husband, I understand the beauty of weaving timeless traditions with a personal, respectful approach that reflects the world we live in today.

So if you’re after someone who’ll get to know you properly, tell your story with heart,
and create a ceremony that is authentically yours…

I might just be your person.

A bit about me..

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Before celebrancy, I spent 10 years working as a physiotherapist in Sydney and London… which probably explains why I’m equal parts organised and people-obsessed.

    I’ve always been the kind of person who could chat to anyone (honestly, even a brick wall) and I’ve never really done life the “normal” way - think riding a motorbike to work, getting my scuba licence and then realising...hey, I would love to be a marriage celebrant. 

    Somewhere in between, I spent a year backpacking the world with my husband - my favourite human and adventure buddy. He’d describe me as someone who brings positive energy, loves a dance floor and is always up for a late-night deep and meaningful (he’s not wrong).

    So yeah - I’m just a big fan of love, human connection and creating special moments of JOY.

  • I’m all about creating a ceremony that feels like you - not something cookie-cutter or overly scripted.

  • I’m based in Sydney, but I’m always up for an adventure - whether that’s interstate or overseas.

    Travel costs (like flights and accommodation) can apply, but the best way is to reach out and we can figure it out together.

  • I’m a big believer that love is love - always has been, always will be.
    If you’re marrying another consenting, wonderful human… I’m already in your corner.

  • I’ve got you - I’ll guide you through all of this so nothing feels overwhelming.

    To get legally married, I’ll need to sight:

    • your passport OR

    • your driver’s licence + birth certificate

    If you’ve been married before, I’ll also need:

    • divorce certificate or

    • death certificate of your previous spouse

  • That little book I’m holding? It came with me on my travels.

    I asked people I connected with to write three words about our time together.

    WARM. GENUINE. NON-STOP GIGGLES.

    Safe to say… that’s exactly the vibe I want to bring to your ceremony.
