About Me

I’m a warm, genuine, and experienced Civil Celebrant based in Melbourne, here to help you mark life’s most important moments with meaning, heart, and professionalism. Whether you’re planning a joyful wedding, a heartfelt funeral, or another special ceremony, I work closely with you to create a service that truly reflects your values, your story, and your wishes.

I specialise in weddings that are personal, inclusive, and full of heart—whether you’re a couple who’ve been together for years or just starting out, straight or LGBTQIA+, traditional or non-traditional. Every ceremony I deliver is bespoke, crafted in close collaboration with you to ensure it’s exactly what you want—relaxed or formal, lighthearted or deeply moving, or a beautiful mix of both.

In addition to weddings, I bring extensive experience as a funeral celebrant, supporting families through grief with compassion, calm, and care. Whether it’s a simple farewell, a celebration of life, or a service full of storytelling and ritual, I’ll guide you gently through the process and help you honour your loved one in a meaningful, respectful way. Families often describe my approach as kind, steady, and sensitive during difficult times.

I’m also a confident and engaging public speaker, an authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant, and a Justice of the Peace. I’m based in Melbourne and happy to travel.

Let’s have a friendly, obligation-free chat about how I can help create a ceremony that feels just right for you.

 

 

 

 

Commendations

“Thanks so much Grant. Perfect.”

“I just wanted to write and thank you so
much for the beautiful way you handled Mum’s funeral yesterday. You were so lovely and kind to all of us and did such a beautiful job. I’m sure Mum would have really liked you a lot. You made something very hard a lot easier for us, and for that we will be eternally grateful. Thank you for coming all the way out to Bayswater North to meet with us, and the gentle and sensitive manner in which you looked after us, particularly my Dad who is grieving the loss of his life partner, my beautiful Mum.
Thank you so much for everything you did and said, you were amazing!”

“Grant is a sensational   celebrant, he married my daughter and son in law, in the garden at the farm, we laughed, we cried, and were genuinely thrilled with the service, so full of positive  emotions, recommend him totally”
-Sheilagh, Scarsdale, Ballarat.

“I have just had that read out to me by my phone. I went cold. That is so so good. I’m lost for words. I thankyou from the bottom of my heart for what you’ve done. Man that is so nice”.

-Phillip from Wales (United Kingdom)

We would like to thank you ever so much for your understanding and support prior to and most importantly during the wonderful celebration for H you gave us last Friday
So many people attending commented to us how amazing it was to be there especially with the loving atmosphere that was created by your presentation
We came away sad, but knowing that H will always be remembered as a beautiful soul and is now resting peacefully
I will also be writing to Fred at Ern Jensen’s for their assistance, absolute professionalism and respect they provided through out H’s passing
Again, Grant  thank you from the bottom of my  broken heart.

My sister and I wanted to pass on our thanks and appreciation for the role you played in helping bring together the celebration of life for our Mum.It is a difficult time but it helped having warm introductions made to you and when we reached out the way in which you engaged with us and led us through things with empathy and care was appreciated.   You also kept us on task which made sure we were as organised as well as we could be….thank you!

I have just had that read out to me by my phone. I went cold. That is so so good. I’m lost for words. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you’ve done. Man that is so nice. When you thank others please please say along the lines I thank you for looking after the service. I know it’s awkward when it’s yourself but which ever way you feel appropriate I must publicly thank you.

“Grant is a wonderful celebrant.  Our ceremony was exactly as we dreamed.  He made the day flow beautifully, our vision came to life because of him. He is caring and eloquent, funny and charismatic.   We felt listened to and the process with Grant was so easy.  If I could recommend 10 stars I would!!    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Grant, our day wouldn’t have been the same without you”
