Celebrating Love, Your Way

Whether you’re planning a wedding, elopement, micro-wedding or vow renewal I’m here to create something warm, joyful, and perfectly you. I offer celebrant services from Paradise Point across the Gold Coast, the Northern Rivers, Brisbane, Coffs Coast and beyond.

Your Paradise Point Celebrant, Storyteller & Calm in the Chaos

Hey there! I’m Maree, marriage celebrant helping couples across Paradise Point, the Gold Coast, Northern NSW, Brisbane & beyond create meaningful moments that reflect who they truly are.

I’m the one who’ll laugh with your nan, gently calm your nerves, wrangle a nervous groom, and cry (quietly!) behind my ceremony folder when you say your vows.

Originally from the Sutherland Shire (yes, I had the beach at my doorstep), these days, I’m all about rainforest walks, ocean dips, market mornings, and soaking up the beauty of the Gold Coast.

So, how did I end up becoming a celebrant?
Because I love love.
I love stories.
And I really love a good celebration.

After training with Australian Celebrations Training (and learning the ropes from one of Sydney’s top celebrants), I quickly discovered this job is about so much more than paperwork and public speaking. It’s about connection, intuition, and creating moments that genuinely matter.

Here’s what working with me is like:

  • I’ll take the time to truly listen to your story, your values, and what matters most to you both.

  • I’ll bring plenty of ideas to the table from readings and rituals to thoughtful ways to personalise your ceremony.

  • I’ll handle the legal side so you can focus on the fun stuff, knowing everything’s covered.

  • I’ll help you feel calm and prepared even if you’re feeling a little nervous, I’ll guide you through it all with care.

  • And yes, there’ll be laughter and maybe a few happy tears too. That’s how you know it’s real.

Whether it’s your wedding day, renewing vows, or welcoming a new little human to the world, I’ll help create a ceremony that feels natural, joyful, and totally you.

Let’s make some magic together and maybe a few memories that last a lifetime.

All the Feels, None of the Stress

Wedding Ceremonies

Your Paradise Point wedding ceremony should feel like you, relaxed, heartfelt, and full of meaning. I work closely with couples to create personalised wedding ceremonies that are warm, genuine, and legally sound, whether you're planning a big celebration or an intimate gathering.

Elopements

If you’re dreaming of something simple, personal and free of fuss, eloping might be perfect for you. Whether it’s just the two of you or a handful of loved ones, I’ll help you create a Paradise Point ceremony that feels intentional, romantic and true to who you are, no big production, just a quiet and meaningful celebration of your love.

Micro Weddings

For couples who want all the heart of a wedding, without the size of a big event, Paradise Point micro weddings are a beautiful way to celebrate with your closest people. I’ll help you design a ceremony that’s warm, intimate and thoughtful whether it’s in your backyard, a local venue or somewhere special outdoors.

Legal’s Only

If you're looking to make things official without a full ceremony, a legals-only service is the simple and stress-free option. We’ll meet at an agreed location, complete the required legal wording and paperwork, and I’ll take care of the lodgement. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for couples planning a bigger celebration later or just wanting to quietly make it official.

Renewal of Vows

There’s something incredibly special about looking back on the journey you’ve shared and choosing to say “I still do.” Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply want to honour your love in a heartfelt way, I’ll help you create a relaxed and beautiful ceremony around Paradise Point that reflects your story and everything you've built together.

Love Notes From Happy Couples

Maree was amazing from the moment I first called her, I just knew that with her everything would be easy and I wasn’t wrong. She was kind, bubbly, welcoming and most importantly made myself and my now husband feel more than comfortable with everything, we were both quite nervous about the ceremony, but she put our minds at ease every step of the way! Her script was beautiful, everything we could have asked for. We had the most perfect ceremony and full credit goes to Maree. We couldn’t recommend her more!

- Ash & Riley

I’m currently based on the East Coast of Australia surrounded by ocean & beaches but I regularly travel to officiate ceremonies across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Northern NSW, and the Coffs Coast.

From coastal towns like Paradise Point, Kingscliff, Sawtell and Coffs Harbour, to the scenic Northern Rivers, the Gold Coast hinterland, and right through to Brisbane. I love helping couples celebrate their day, wherever it may be.

Planning from a distance? No stress!
We can meet over the phone, via email, or jump on a video call as many times as you like. I’ll make sure everything’s sorted no matter where you are.

If you’re not sure if I service your area, just get in touch if I can get there, I’ll be there (with bells on... and a ceremony folder in hand!)..
