Celebrity wedding celebrants is very much a growth area at the moment with well known names including Tottie Goldsmith, Greg Evans, Real Housewives of Melbourne’s Gina Liano, former Channel 10 weather presenter Mike Larkan, drag artist Della Katessen and Gogglebox favourite Matt Dalton regularly conducting marriage ceremonies.

A celebrity celebrant can add an extra sense of excitement to a wedding day.

More than 80 per cent of wedding ceremonies in Australia are now performed by civil celebrants, up from about 50 per cent in 2001.

As of December 2023 there were more than 10,200 Commonwealth registered marriage celebrants in Australia.
