I love weddings, and I decided to become a celebrant after seeing some ceremonies where I knew I could do a better job. I knew I could add the extra spark to make the wedding special. I love romance and laughter in ceremony, and I have brought in a formula to make every wedding I do memorable, moving and fun.
I always invite couples to share a tea or a coffee before they decide whether or not to book me.
I suggest that if they want humour in the ceremony, to consider how often they laughed over coffee.
If they want romance in their ceremony, to consider what warm feelings they have, as we talk. It is a great way to get a feel for a celebrant. And if it doesn’t work out, well it has only cost a coffee.
Blair has been a Marriage Celebrant in Perth, Western Australia, for 6 years now, and is a celebrant who really enjoys his work.
He has done weddings in various venues such as beautiful parks, private venues, backyard events, beaches, and even in a grand Chapel. Each has been spoken of very highly by the bride and groom.
Blair holds a Bachelor of Business, and of course, a Certificate IV in Celebrancy. He is an international referee for the sport Lacrosse, and has represented Australia on many occasions around the world.
He has a warm presence, and is keen for couples to choose the right person for their ceremony. He is fine with just having a chat about what you want to do, even if your proposed ceremony is years away.
His process starts with suggesting the couple and he meet for a coffee to discuss what he can do for them, and what ideas they have.
He will make it very clear that the wedding is for the couple, and not for him. He will talk about the level of romance and humour, and how a balance in these is the key to a good ceremony. Blair will also lead you through the various things that need to be done to ensure a beautiful wedding ceremony.
Before the meeting he will have explained the fee he charges if the couple proceeds, and that there is no obligation to proceed with him. He will also have suggested the couple agree to let him know by email, within a week or so of the meeting, if they wish to proceed. This makes it easier for those who may be a little shy, and also would help Blair by either booking or clearing the date for another couple.
Find out if Blair’s available on your wedding day, and if so, you can chat about what you want, and what Blair can offer.
For those couples Blair works with, expect laughter and tears, applause and cheers. And people all night long telling you how great your ceremony was.
Blair’s style is to include the romance of your relationship and sprinkling in humour that puts smiles on everyone’s face. Blair has a warm presence which your guests will enjoy.
Blair genuinely enjoys the meeting, writing and presentation of your ceremony. Your experience will be fun and satisfying and your ceremony relaxed and easy for you.
While Blair has experience from a great many ceremonies, he is always happy to include new ideas and concepts.
His ceremonies tell your story, and are not a rehash of the last 20 weddings another celebrant has done.
Most of Blair’s weddings are in Perth and its surrounds. However, he services anywhere in Western Australia, and has done so from Broome to Margaret River. Of course, a wedding always requires a run through to ensure everything goes smoothly on the day. Things like where the couple stand, holding hands, posy flowers, trains on dresses, where is the sun shining, where will congratulations be, where is the signing table, who holds the rings and arrangements for music need to be clear before the wedding. Because of this, for venues well out of Perth, Blair will normally travel the day before to coordinate the rehearsal.
Blair always invites couples to share a tea or a coffee before they decide whether or not to book him. He suggests that if they want humour in the ceremony, to consider how often they laughed over coffee. If they want romance in their ceremony, to consider what warm feelings they have, as we talk. It is a great way to get a feel for a celebrant. And if it doesn’t work out, well it has only cost a coffee.
Blair’s passionate about weddings, and likes to go through the things that will be a part of the unique ceremony. He encourages clients to write their own vows, but will also help you with lots of examples and links to great websites.
Blair’s interactions start with a coffee, move to a meeting to discuss the content and format of your ceremony, completion of the five forms that need to be signed, and all of the book-keeping that needs to be done to ensure the wedding is properly lodged.
Blair works with other wedding professionals like photographers, videographers, and planners that you may have engaged, to ensure you get the best outcome possible.

Being a celebrant is a great job. Often couples find it hard to articulate what they want in their ceremony. However, after a chat about some of the options available, things start to fall into place. It is a great feeling as people relax and start to enjoy the process of producing their wedding ceremony.
He gets to meet wonderful people in love, planning to spend their lives together in marriage. Blair becomes privileged to tell their story, and converts the story into the centre of a unique ceremony. And, after a lot of fun and a lot of work, Blair gets to be a part of a fantastic wedding ceremony. How good is that?
Your wedding can be the romantic and fun day you have always imagined. Simplicity, where your story and feelings are the priority.
