About Max
Hi! I'm Max. An ordinary guy who loves talking. I'm also a young celebrant from the Newcastle and Hunter region, and I'd love to be involved in your big day.
I became a civil marriage celebrant to perform the ceremony for two of my closest friends. I wanted to give them someone they knew who could take them through their big day, after one of them did the same for our wedding.
​
Well sometimes, the thing you pick up on a whim turns out to be the thing you love! I have a natural passion for public speaking and love helping a couple be front and centre on their wedding day.
I want to bring that good friend vibe to your big day.
​
If you think​ that we might be a good match, feel free to find out more about me or get in touch below!
Packages
Big, small, extravagant - there's something for everyone.

The Classic
Everything in the Shotgun, plus an entirely custom ceremony that reflects the unique relationship between you and your partner, before all of the guests that you can muster.

Ceremony co-ordination, including but not limited to groom freakouts, gathering stray Aunts and Uncles, entertaining the crowd before the big arrival, keeping the groomsmen (somewhat) in order, and keeping timing on track.
