Amanda Blake Celebrant

I’ve always loved celebrating people — their stories, their quirks, and the big moments that make life special. After years of working in roles that supported others behind the scenes, I realised I wanted to do something more personal and meaningful. Becoming a celebrant felt like the perfect fit. It allows me to combine creativity, warmth, and genuine connection to help people mark their most important milestones in a way that truly reflects who they are. Starting my own celebrant business has been one of the most fulfilling decisions I’ve made — every ceremony reminds me why I do this!

Because I’m all about creating ceremonies that feel like you. Whether it’s heartfelt, hilarious, relaxed or a little bit of everything, I take the time to get to know your story and craft a ceremony that’s genuinely personal. I’m approachable, organised, and a calming presence on the big day (with emergency tissues at the ready!). Plus, I bring along a free circular arbour to help set the scene — and yes, I’ve been known to help pin on a buttonhole or two. Your day matters to me, and I’ll make sure it’s everything you hoped for and more.

Yes, I can, but only so much! While weddings must be conducted in person to be legally valid in Australia, I’m more than happy to meet with couples online via a video call for our planning meetings, vow writing help, and ceremony prep. It’s a great option if you're busy, live out of town, or just prefer to chat from the comfort of home (coffee in hand, pyjamas welcome!). I’ll make sure everything is easy, relaxed, and well-organised — wherever you are.

While restrictions have eased, I continue to prioritise health and safety at all ceremonies and meetings. I’m happy to hold planning sessions online or over the phone if preferred, and I maintain good hygiene practices when handling paperwork, signing pens, and shared equipment like microphones. I also follow any venue-specific COVID-safe guidelines and can adapt to suit your comfort level — whether that means keeping a bit more distance or using hand sanitiser before the signing. Your peace of mind is just as important as your “I do.”
