What Inspired You to Become Celebrants?

“Our journey as Celebrants began when we were inspired by our own wedding (yes, we’re a couple!). After experiencing the planning process ourselves, we saw an opportunity to bring something fresh and joyful to the wedding industry.

We were drawn to the idea of creating modern, meaningful ceremonies tailored to each couple’s story. We absolutely love what we do!

From the first meeting to the final vows, our goal is to make the process collaborative, fun, and easy—so when the big day arrives, couples can truly relax and enjoy every moment.”

What Do You Love About Weddings at Factory51?

“We absolutely love being part of weddings at Factory51. The venue is stunning—its New York–style exposed red brick walls, sparkling chandelier, and private laneway entrance create such a stylish and versatile backdrop.

But what truly sets Factory51 apart is the team behind the scenes. They’re warm, responsive, and deeply committed to making every wedding run seamlessly. From cueing music to welcoming guests, they think of everything—so our couples feel totally supported and can stay in the moment.

There’s always a sense of calm and genuine care. We can’t speak highly enough of the Factory51 team.”

What Are Your Favourite Moments as Celebrants?

“There are so many moments that make this work incredibly rewarding. Some of our favourites include:

  • That very first meeting with a couple—feeling their excitement and collaborating on their vision.
  • Watching the ceremony unfold on the day, filled with love, joy, and connection.
  • Seeing the couple and guests truly enjoy the ceremony—laughing, crying, and soaking up the moment.
  • Receiving heartfelt thank-you messages and 5-star reviews post-wedding—hearing that we helped create a day they’ll treasure forever.

Being chosen as a couple’s Celebrant is such a privilege—and one we never take for granted.”

Why Is Investing in a Celebrant Worth It?

“A good Celebrant does more than legally marry you—they shape the tone of the entire day.

When you invest in an experienced Celebrant, you’re investing in peace of mind. You’ll have a personalised, well-structured ceremony that reflects your personalities and flows smoothly from start to finish. You’ll feel calm, confident, and completely in the moment—able to connect with each other and your guests.

A Celebrant’s professionalism and presence can make all the difference between a ceremony that feels rushed or awkward, and one that’s heartfelt, joyful, and deeply memorable.”

What Celebrant Styles Are Out There?

“The great news is there’s a Celebrant to suit every couple—whether you’re planning something modern, traditional, quirky, or deeply personal.

While it might be tempting to shop around based on price, the difference in investment between a new Celebrant and an experienced one is usually only a few hundred dollars. That small extra spend can completely elevate your ceremony experience.

Look for someone with great reviews, lots of experience, and a style that feels like a natural fit for you. And don’t be afraid to ask questions—it’s important to feel aligned and supported.”

How Would You Describe Your Celebrant Style?

“Our style is happy, relaxed, and modern. We craft ceremonies that are tailored, warm, and filled with the right balance of heart and humour.

Many of our couples tell us we brought a calming presence to what could have been the most nerve-wracking part of the day. We guide the process clearly and proactively—from the legalities to the flow—so everything feels effortless and enjoyable.

With over 360 reviews, the most common themes are: calm, caring, professional, organised, and genuinely fun to be around. We truly love celebrating love!”
