FAQ

I am a pretty laid-back person, but I am also incredibly passionate about love. I LOVE love. So I am all in if you choose me as your celebrant, we can work together for as long as it takes to tailor the perfect wedding experience for you. You won't see me with a script in my hand on the day, you will see me making the crowd laugh, making eye contact with you both and gesticulating frantically with my hands. I trained as an actor in my early 20's, have been in dozens of theatre productions and too many films to count, so I am VERY comfortable in front of a crowd. 

I would say my biggest point of difference is my stage experience. I have been working in the theatre industry for over a decade, having performed all around Australia. I trained professionally at one of Australia's most prestigious colleges and am represented by a high-quality talent agency. I am extremely comfortable speaking in front of crowds, can memorize text with ease and, present truly unforgettable performances to your guests.

If you've seen something on the Gram and you want to try it for your wedding, then let's bloody do it! Bring me all and any ideas for your ceremony and we'll work it all out together. I am absolutely up for anything. This is your day and no one else's. If you want to have your ceremony halfway up a cliff on harnesses and the reception underwater all I'm going to ask is if you're supplying the wetsuits. 

I recently worked with a couple who had Jewish and Celtic ancestry, we performed a handfasting, a breaking of the glass (Mazul Tav!), they wrote their own vows, and bible verses were shared. Traditional weddings are popular for a reason, they're absolutely delightful and I eat up every little bit of it. If you have a family history you want to honour or a special person you want to include, then it's my job to assist you in facilitating that. Bring me all your ideas and requests and we'll work them out together. That's a guarantee. 

Just to be crystal clear, we WILL write a script. We will meticulously go over exactly what we want to happen on the day, down to the finest details on pronunciation and timing. But at the ceremony itself, you won't see me with a script in my hand. My performing arts background has given me the skills to memorize pages of dialogue and text and recount all staging directions with ease. Meaning that I have freedom of my hands and eyes to give a greater sense of connection to you, the couple, and your guests.

As my partner and I reflect on our wedding day, one aspect stands out above all: the incredible service provided by our wedding celebrant, Stanley. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in capable hands. His professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made our ceremony truly unforgettable.

Stan provided a really warm, friendly and personal ceremony. The event was very touching and emotional in all the best ways. He did a great job of putting us at ease so we could enjoy being in the moment. We couldn’t be more impressed and happy with everything 🥰

When we first met with Stanley we both immediately knew he was the celebrant for us. He was punctual, compassionate, caring and the way he carried himself throughout gave a massive calming influence. By the time it was all said and done, our instincts were proved correct. A professional throughout the entire process, we honestly could not recommend or advocate him more to anyone considering his services. Stan was well received by our guests as well. Thank you so much Stan!

Stanley was absolutely amazing from the word go. When I first contacted him, he was attentive, took notes (which I loved) as I knew he was interested in being our celebrant. Dealing with Stanley leading up the wedding was an absolute breeze as anytime I contacted him he responded very quickly. He was always willing to help no matter what it was regarding. Just before the wedding he came around to do a run through which was amazing and on the day of our wedding, he jumped straight in to help set up and spoke to all our family and friends and made an extra connection. I couldn't have imagined getting married without Stanley as our celebrant!! I cannot praise him enough and if I was to do it all over again, Stanley would be my choice a million times over!!

Stanley, an old friend, jumped in at the last minute and performed a truly incredible ceremony for my partner and me. He was an absolute star and we will never forget the service he provided to us. He has truly found his calling as a marriage celebrant.
