Weddings By Steve Veenstra

Steve Veenstra loves helping couples have the magical wedding ceremony they envisioned in their wildest dreams - whether that’s a lighthearted beachside ceremony, adventurous wedding in an unorthodox location, or romance-filled garden ceremony.

From the lovely stories he tells to the sweet personal touches included, this caring celebrant enjoys creating tailored ceremonies that are special to each couple - and he’d love to do the same for you! He believes ceremonies are a beautiful extension of a loving couple, which is why he personalises each of his weddings to match the style, wedding theme, and interests of his couples: it’s your day, your way.

Situated in Melbourne, this hardworking, genuine professional is passionate about weddings - and understands how important this day is to you. Steve began his celebrant journey when his best friends asked him to marry them, and since then he’s been hooked on love. Throughout his time as a celebrant Steve recognised he immensely enjoys helping couples proclaim their love for one another - even if that's shown with some gentle banter and in-jokes.

In terms of your wedding and the ceremony planning process, Steve can offer a great sense of humour, thoughtfulness, impressive organisational skills, ceremony samples… pretty much everything you need to have a seamless wedding! Trust us, with Steve as your wedding celebrant, you're in highly capable hands.

“Standing with Steve on our wedding day was incredibly special! He conducted a really beautiful engaging ceremony and made light hearted jokes throughout the evening. Steve has a warm vibe and naturally brings people together, even when there are difficult dynamics within the group. If you're looking for a genuinely vibrant and loving man to conduct your ceremony, Steve is the guy! Thank you for our special memories Steve, our day couldn’t have been more perfect." - Libby

About

My life goals are to follow my dreams and surround myself around positivity. I was extremely humbled by my best friends asking me to marry them out of the blue, this has opened up an amazing journey of happiness and great experiences. Outside of being a marriage celebrant I run my own corporate clothing/merchandise business and do part time acting which I love and have been doing for 10 plus years.
