As one of Coffs Coast’s foremost marriage celebrants, I continually have the pleasure of marrying beautiful couples who travel to Coffs Harbour as their chosen destination wedding.  The Coffs Coast provides a sense of relaxation, great times, and excitement when you travel to our scenic wonderland for a wedding.  Regardless of how large or intimate the celebration is, without a doubt, your ceremony experience will be one to remember for a lifetime.

And Gareth and Shay were absolutely thrilled they made the decision to marry on the Coffs Coast.  Having visited the region many times previously, it was only natural that they chose the colourful Cubana Resort, Urunga to say ‘I do’.  Their ceremony (and the venue) was every bit a reflection of who they are as a couple, their incredible journey together, and their hopes for a future with each other by their side.  It was so much fun marrying them both, not to mention I will never forget Gareth walking down the aisle wearing his all-white outfit complete with a tall hat with his proud father by his side.

Shay shared with me “Thank you so much for your email and even more so for everything you did for us at our wedding. I was nervous when we were initially looking for a celebrant as I wasn’t sure how we’d be treated as a “same-sex” couple.

After meeting you, my concerns were quickly put to rest and you made both of us especially myself feel very at ease and relaxed. The ceremony was amazing, you engaged with all of our family and friends and so many of them commended you on how great you did at making it personable, light hearted, and fun, you really did help set the scene to what was an amazing, amazing night with many sore heads and magic memories”.

My absolute pleasure Shay.

  • Hi Simon,

    Tim and I are still on cloud nine after reminiscing about the perfect ceremony you created. It was everything we always dreamt of and is something that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

    We can’t thank you enough for all your support and guidance throughout the whole experience, especially your commitment to travel all the way to the Hunter Valley for our wedding. Thank you also for keeping Tim calm whilst he was waiting for me at the alter! I instantly felt more relaxed when I saw you waiting outside the chapel for us.

    The day wouldn’t have been so perfect without you. I’ll send you through some photos of the ceremony when we get them back. If you are ever in Newcastle please don’t be a stranger!

  • Simon made us feel at ease from our first contact through to the conclusion of the ceremony. Simon’s confident, professional and positive approach made the preparation and ceremony a breeze! We sincerely thank him for his contribution to our wedding.

  • We just want to thank you Simon for really helping Lincoln and I along the way.  You really helped in every way possible and made us feel so comfortable.  Our guests are still telling us how good of a celebrant you were, so don’t be surprised if you get some calls!  Couldn’t be happier with the service you provided.  Best celebrant (insert smiley face!).

  • Thank you Simon, for your overwhelming enthusiasm for our wedding with a difference. We couldn’t believe how dedicated and supportive you were in making it something we will never forget. To see you walking down the aisle as Lord Darth Vader was an image that will remain with us forever. Your kind words, your sense of humour and your willingness to do whatever it took to make our day just the way we imagined. Your personal service and professional commitment was unwavering and it was our honour to have you preside over our marriage… We would most highly recommend you to anyone. May the force be with you! And that’s no word of a lie!!!

  • After meeting Simon for the first time, we had no doubt in our minds that he was the celebrant for us. Simon was fantastic to work with and put our stressed minds at ease during our ceremony preparation. He was relaxed but well prepared and we found him to be available to answer any questions we had. He was able to keep everyone well entertained while the bride was unexpectedly delayed and our guests thoroughly enjoyed his humour. Not only did we think he was an excellent celebrant, we also received numerous compliments from our guest. If anyone is looking to hire Simon as their celebrant we cannot rate him highly enough. We only wish we could give him a 6th star. We cannot thank Simon enough for being a part of our special day.
