Creating
Unique Ceremonies
since 1996
Since 1996, I've been crafting unique and heartfelt ceremonies that capture the essence of each couple's journey. With a blend of warmth, authenticity, and a touch of humor, I ensure your special day is as memorable as your love story. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I'm here to create a ceremony that reflects you and your partner. Let's make your day unforgettable!

things that help you become
the best version of yourself and
no to the things that don't."

RELATIONSHIP COACHING
Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life, so you need to know that your celebrant will support you and ease the stress of organising the most important part of the day ... being married legally! That’s where I can help! I’ll work with you to create a meaningful, fun, emotional, modern or traditional ceremony. It will be a reflection of the kind of couple you are.
You may not want to go through the legal side of a ceremony, but it’s still important for you to make a public declaration of your love and commitment. Or, you may want to renew your vows. Either way, I’m all for ceremonies that celebrate love. I will help you create a personalised ceremony that will be a beautiful and lasting memory for the rest of your lives.
Outside of my celebrancy work, I am a couples coach, and also counsel people recovering from addictions. I think it’s a brilliant idea to have a relationship check up, and I offer a 4 session relationship course, with a Gottman Assessment on where things are at for you both. It can be fun, deep and enlightening & a great way to kick off the next stage of your relationship.

ABOUT SIMON
Hey there! I’m Simon Williams, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my site of celebrating love in all its brilliant ways. I officiated my first wedding way back in 1996, and have always loved being involved in weddings. Helping couples create a ceremony that is a perfect reflection of who they are is a joy and privilege for me, and one I would love to share with you.
I believe that every love story is unique, and I'm here to make yours have its wonderful moment, as you head down the aisle. My approach to weddings combines warmth, authenticity, and a dash of humour - because a little laughter goes a long way, especially on such a significant day! (And I certainly don’t mind the happy tears, either!)
​
I am committed to helping couples set themselves up to have a great marriage, and a fun and memorable wedding day. Your wedding is a public declaration of what is important to you, and I believe it's my role to support you in achieving a day that is a wonderful reflection of you and your partner.
I’ve been married to Jodie for nearly 30 years, and have two adult sons. We had the thrill of seeing our eldest marry our gorgeous daughter-in-law last year. I love a good coffee (no instant for me!) and you can often hear me laughing before you see me! I live on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, but happy to travel to where you’re wanting to celebrate your day.
