OVERVIEW

They say that nothing worth doing is easy. Like every one of us, I’ve had my bumps in the road. But if you ask me, I’ll always tell you that I wouldn’t change a thing. Why? Because throughout my journey I’ve honed my skills and proven that my services get results in the real world. So today, you can benefit from my years of experience.

I'm committed to helping people like you to get the results they want, every day.

I specialise in working outside-the-box, so whether you're looking for new ways to bring your ceremony to life, or something more traditional, then I'll develop a solution that is truly unique.

Get in touch with any questions and I’ll be happy to meet with you and help in any way that I can. I am happy to meet face-to-face or, initially, via zoom if more convenient.

About

Hi! I'm one of those people who started out as something entirely different in work life. I was a medical secretary for >30 years before becoming sole carer for my late father. Then, I had another year where I renovated my home, took some big holidays, then studied to become a Civil Celebrant. BUT I've done weddings before, as a Chaplain. Therefore there are no reviews or photographs of these due the participants being currently serving ADF personnel. I have done & will do same sex weddings.

Beswick Life Celebrations was amazing!!!! She went above and beyond to make our day perfect. I was an anxious bride to be who messaged her almost everyday until the wedding and she was very patient with me, replying to me promptly even in the middle of the night, assuring me and helping me plan the most magical day of our life. She paid attention to all the nitty gritty details that most celebrants would have missed or not bothered about. She even helped us with things like arranging the music for the wedding which wasn’t a part of her job. We love her and couldn’t have thought of anyone better to marry us. We highly recommend her.

Lesley is amazing!! She is very friendly and funny. Lesley is extremely professional and makes sure that every detail is correct and confirmed with you. Our questions were responded to within minutes which made the whole process very easy. She married us in the most difficult situation, during the Covid19 lockdown, with one of our witnesses who was over 70 and was not allowed to leave the house. Without Lesley, the whole wedding would have been put on ice. Lesley was perfect on the day and didn't miss a beat. You'll not find a better celebrant.

It was simply a joy to be part of your love "story" on the day. Happy to have been able to oblige with your elderly witnesses' inclusion.

We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found Lesley Beswick to be our celebrant. Throughout the process she was attentive, thoughtful, detailed, and completely focused on what we wanted as a couple. Well before our wedding Lesley made herself available to answer questions, calls, and checked in with us to see how we were going with our plans, something that really meant a lot for us. When COVID-19 happened, we were understandably upset to learn none of our family or friends could celebrate with us. It was because of Lesley that we decided to proceed with the ceremony, knowing that we could still celebrate us in our own way. Lesley was incredibly caring and made every effort to make the day as special as possible, really focusing the ceremony around who we are, what we loved most and making us laugh along the way. More than anything, if we were to sum Lesley up in one word it would be sincere. She is sincere in everything that she does, from the first meeting to the big day and until the time of processing all our paper works such as marriage contract and certificate from Victorian Marriage Registry. Thank you so much for being our Celebrant for our Wedding Day. You did the most incredible. The ceremony was so beautiful, romantic, personal and heart-felt it could not have been more perfect.

What an amazing day our wedding was!! Lesley is a true professional and wonderfully supportive. It was such an intimate and loving ceremony, and it was very "us", Lesley helped create such a beautiful atmosphere, she has a warm and friendly manner and we felt that nothing was too much trouble for her. We cant thank Lesley enough, and also a special thanks to Kathleen for assisting Lesley and for easing my nerves with her big and encouraging smile when I was walking down the aisle. We could recommend Beswick Life Celebrations to anyone that needs a remarkable celebrant. Melissa and Mark.

Hello. We're not having a religious wedding however I still would like to share readings that are meaningful and romantic. Any ideas welcome!

Beswick Life Celebrations - Lesley Beswick

I have found so many. They vary in length and depth of feeling!

Two of my favourites are:

'Forever Friendship'

and

'Today'

 

Can I withdraw NOIM form?

Can I withdraw the NOIM form if I don’t want to get married anymore? Will all my personal details and information already be entered and saved into government portal after I lodged the NOIM form with the celebrant? How can I get them removed?

Beswick Life Celebrations - Lesley Beswick

The NOIM is lodged with the Celebrant. If you cancel, nothing further happens to the form.

Is it okay for your godfather to walk you down the aisle?

Beswick Life Celebrations - Lesley Beswick

You can have whomever you want to walk you in.

My mother had her brother, as her father had passed away. I've seen brides come in with both parents, their sister/s, a close friend, really it is anyone that YOU choose!
