Congratulations. What an exciting time lies ahead for you both.
Choosing a Marriage Celebrant is the beginning of the next stage of your relationship. And such an important one. You need a celebrant who will listen and respond accordingly and focus their attention on you and your partner.
Hello – My name is Judy Allen and I trained with The Celebrants Training College in Melbourne. I have been an active community member within the City of Bayside whilst involved in many activities relating to families around the area including sporting clubs and schools. I have worked in local government and been a member of a Board for 11 years. Most recently I have been working with and supporting families who look after a person with dementia living in the community . I write and present education related to symptoms and responses of dementia. Public speaking has been part of my role through education, at conferences in Melbourne, and even overseas.
♥ to help you formalise the dream you may have for your special day.
♥ to work with you to produce your ceremony, one that suits your personalities
and dreams.
♥ to reflect the bond and love you share that has bought you to this exciting time and place in your relationship.
♥ to honour and respect your dreams and thoughts.
♥ to help you create that special moment for your family and friends to share.
I pledge that I will only arrange one wedding per day on a weekend, so allowing you the comfort of knowing my attention is with you for the day. Wedding season, September to April can be very busy so please plan ahead and make your booking as soon as possible.
Commit to each other in front of your family and friends with a ceremony crafted by me using your words and wishes. Let everyone know what love means to you and how the person you are marrying means so much to you and what you mean to each other. All the legals will be taken care of and I will work with your photographer to ensure the best photos possible on the day.
This type of ceremony is short and simple with the couple and two witnesses over the age of 18 attending to the legal elements of a marriage. It can be anywhere you chose – the beach, a restaurant, your garden or mine. Although it is really only dealing with the legals make it romantic and something to remember.
Not everyone wants to be married locally and I am happy to discuss how a wedding could be created in a wonderful romantic location. The destination will determine the availability and cost of my service – but please ask if this is the way you would like your ceremony to be.
Testimonials from some of my couples
Judy, thank you for your help in organising our beautiful wedding ceremony, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect service. We were so happy to have shared our special day with you! We can’t thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into our ceremony and giving us the freedom to make it exactly what we wanted. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect
Judy is a friendly and bubbly lady that helped us to build the perfect wedding ceremony to depict us. She was open to meeting our specific needs with a very different ceremony that included our children. Her ongoing communication was always prompt and informative in the development of our special day. I would highly recommend her services. Thanks a million Judy :-)
Thank you (again!) so much for playing such an important part of our wedding day! It was wonderful that so many people remarked that they really felt that you had taken the time to get to know both Robbie and I which I feel really reflects on your commitment to providing the best ceremony possible for your couples, as well as making the ceremony itself seem much more familiar and less staged. The suggestions you provided during our pre-wedding meetings and conducting a rehearsal the day beforehand were received with thanks and helped the day itself run so smoothly
Thank you very much Judy for being our celebrant on Saturday. Your presentation was beautiful and we really appreciated everything you did for us in making the day even more special. Everything was very professionally organised, we enjoyed your innovation, resources and your ability to think quickly and adapt to the environment. Delivery was on point and overall, the whole ceremony ran flawlessly. It is obvious that you are extremely passionate in your work.
We could not have been happier to have had Judy as our celebrant. She is relaxed, relatable and was helpful every step of the way. Many of our guests spoke very positively of her after the wedding – we couldn’t recommend her service more. Thanks so much Judy!
Words cannot describe what a pleasure it was to have Lovely Judy as our celebrant. Everything was perfect , from the initial organizing to our special day. Great celebrants are hard to find, however we found an outstanding one - Judy - thank you so much for making our wedding day that extra special for us.
