Madison Hunt Celebrant

Warm. Creative. Geniune. Funny.

I’m about developing real connections with my couples and creating unique ceremonies that reflect who you are and what your about.

Meet Madison

We’re going to be friends soon…

 I'm a celebrant who is passionate about creating real connections with the couples I marry. I love working with people, and I have a knack for putting my clients at ease, so they can truly enjoy their wedding day.

For me, the most important thing about being a celebrant is getting to know my clients and delivering a ceremony that perfectly captures the essence of their relationship.

Whether you’re dream of a 500-person formal soiree, a backyard wedding with your closest mates, or saying "I do" over a glass of vino at your favorite bar, I'm here to make it happen. I'm all about the weird and wonderful, the unique and unusual - so bring on your wildest ideas.

I love to add a touch of warmth and cheekiness to my celebrations. For me, it's all about creating an experience filled with heart, soul, and plenty of laughs (and maybe even a few tears).

So if you're looking for a celebrant who is authentic, warm, and who truly cares about making your wedding day unforgettable, then I would love to work with you.

The Process

  1. Let’s meet and make it legit

    Let's connect and get to know each other, either over Zoom, Skype, or even better, over a wine. If we hit it off, we'll check my availability for your big day and book it in.

  2. Next, the paperwork

    Next up, the paperwork. We'll complete and lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage nice and early (at least 30 days prior to your wedding date). I'll need to verify your identity and proof of birth, but don't worry, I'll guide you through the process

  3. Let me hear your love story

    Now for the fun part - I want to hear your love story! Give me all the juicy details, from embarrassing first texts to the sappy love letters and everything in between. We'll use it all to create a genuine, cracking ceremony you'll never forget.

    And if you have any special requests for the day, like a fluffy ring-bearer or funny "I do's," just let me know and we'll make it happen.

  4. Review and run through

    Let’s review and rehearse if needed. I will work with you to take you into your special day calm and prepared.

  5. It’s show time

    I’ll be at your venue early to set up, meet your friends and family, talk through any nerves you may have and to deliver you an absolutely stellar ceremony that you won’t forget!

  6. Lodge the legals

    I’ll finalise and send off your legals with the Dept of BMD the next day after your ceremony!
