About

I'm a Marriage Man! I love to talk love with anyone that will listen, I'm in Camberwell if its warm, you'll find me sitting in the garden with my Pup, Pippi trying to find the perfect words to use for each of my couples ceremonies. If its cold, on the couch (still with Pip) with a cuppa. I will never copy and paste a ceremony! In my spare time I play board games, madly propagate houseplants and have cups of tea (Or SoCo) with my mum.

FAQ

Do we need to do anything with the Dept. Births, Deaths and Marriages?

No! Leave all that to me.

I'll manage all the paperwork, all you need to do is show me some documents (Passport/Birth Cert ect) when i'm filling it out and I'll lodge all the paperwork with BDM for you!

I even buy every one of my couples the final Marriage Certificate rather than make you wait and buy it yourself!

Do you need a deposit?

50% is a booking fee taken to secure your day with me. I take that day off my calendar. (I'll never do more than one wedding a day, that day is YOURS)

The other 50% is paid 1 month before the wedding for the ceremony itself.

What if you're sick?

I'm friends with some incredble celebrants, if disaster strikes and I can't be at your wedding, first, I'll cry. Then; I'll get one of my friends to rock up and perform the ceremony for you.

This is why I break my payment in half, so that I have something to give to my mates for their time.

(I have never had to do this and fingers crossed I never will but its better to be safe than sorry)

Do I have to write my own vows?

Not if you don't want to,

I have a Vow Pack I give to all my couples, it has about 150 different vows I have written or stolen from media, or my previous couples have be gracious enough to share with me after their wedding.

Its a great launching point if you are writing your own, its also there if you want to grab the best bits and have it all built for you!

For anyone seeking a marriage celebrant look no further than Weddings by the Beard. Lachie approaches each wedding with a personalized touch, ensuring that you and your partner take center stage, and tailoring the ceremony to embrace the unique aspects of your relationship. He's able to take the stress out of crafting a ceremony with couples through easy to understand language and examples proved invaluable to us, which he's developed through years of experience. Lachie's friendly and easygoing nature made catching up with him to discuss the Wedding ceremony feel exactly like you would be catching up with a friend. On the big day, Lachie orchestrated a seamless ceremony welcoming guests, ensuring everyone was able to laugh, smile and even shed a tear. His meticulous attention to detail was evident in every aspect, down to ensuring that a pen awaited for the signing of the Wedding Certificate, alleviating any stress for both of us. I can't recommend booking Lachie highly enough; he truly set the tone for a day filled with joy and laughter, resulting in multiple guests asking where we found him. If I could give him six star review, I would without hesitation. I'll definitely be steering all my friends towards Weddings by the Beard for their upcoming weddings. Lachie - thank you for truly kickstarting a magical day with a ceremony we're never going to forget, you honestly made the entire process easy and effortless!

Lachie was an absolute delight to work with, from the moment we sat down with him for a beer we knew he was the man we wanted to marry us. He provided us with a huge amount of handy recourses and guidance during the leadup to the wedding which cannot be understated. The ceremony went off without a hitch, before we walked down the aisle Lachie was there with his calming presence. The time and care that was taken to write the script was evident to everyone at the wedding, it was as if a mate was up there telling our story. We received so many glowing reviews from the guests about how "us" the ceremony was (due to the pre work Lachie had done) and how amazing a part of the day Lachie played. Thanks so much Lachie!

Lachlan made myself and my husband feel so comfortable from the first day we met him we knew he was the celebrant for us! he spoke so beautifully during the ceremony with laughs to ease our nervousness. he made sure to find us at the venue to talk to us individually to see how we were and if there was anything he could do. i could not recommend anyone more we had so many people tell us how awesome he was. thank you lachie for being you!

There are genuinely not enough words to express how awesome Lachie is! From the beginning till the end of the journey, Lachie has been nothing short of enthusiastic and supportive, making us excited for our day and tamping our nerves. We were genuinely so excited to see him on our day and just as he has always been, he made us laugh and he made us cry, he made us feel giddy and made the moment feel so beautiful and tailored to us. We are so honoured to have had him officiate our elopement! We are genuinely upset that now all the wedding festivities are over, we will not be seeing again. Might have to renew our vows each year and have him officiate it again! That’s how much we loved him as both our marriage celebrant and as himself! Thank you so much Lachie!

Most importantly, Lachlan was a very reliable and great help to make our wedding day the best it could be. At all stages, he was well-organised and flexible to make the ceremony exactly what we wanted. We were always informed of all details before we had to ask any questions, whether it was about the paperwork or other legalities. He also has very helpful guides and examples to help create the right ceremony and write our wedding vows. Finally, he is a great guy to talk to and very pleasant company.
