A multi-award winning, truely unique and personalised wedding ceremony. Enjoy a younger, fun & fresh approach.
(79)
The wedding ceremony should be centered on the couple and your closest family and friends. In my ceremonies, I involve these key people in a way that takes the definition of personalised service to a new level. A standard ceremony would include:
Reading 1 - letter from the couple to their family
Reading 2 - comments and stories from closest friends
Reading 3 - letter from bride and groom to each o
ther
From the Bride & Groom I only need them to answer 7 questions in bullet points for each reading and I will be able to convert it into a letter. I will interview 3-8 closest friends via email with specific questions depending on their relationship with the bride and/or groom
All these readings are read by me so everyone can just relax, sit back and enjoy. Every reading is unique for you and about you only, a level of personalised ceremony never seen anywhere else.

I’m all about heart felt messages. Easter is no differently in my home. Each year my children gets a treasure hunt based on messages personalised to them about areas they are good or interested in with words of encouragement around the home. My kids ask for it every year and still keeps all the messages. We can never tell our children enough we love them and how proud we are of them. way ❤️🐣

One word - AMAZING!!!
11/10 and 6 out of 5 stars!
Mona is amazing in many ways! We were utterly impressed by her professionalism, her methods in curating the perfect speech by reaching out to our friends and family to understand us better and flawlessly delivering the best ceremony I ever seen.
Mona's speeches to our family and celebrating our love was so heart-warming and touching and everyone at the ceremony had tears in their eyes. We received so many compliments from our guests that they have never attended such a touching and amazing ceremony in their life and numerous complains about wrecking their makeup as they had a hard time controlling their tears - haha!
Towards the end of the ceremony, I had a mini accident and Mona sprung into action to help my bridesmaids to fix up my dress and continue to calm the situation. That's top notch customer service!
You will not regret having Mona as your celebrant!
P.S. if I ever gets marry again (hopefully not!!), I'll definitely choose Mona again as my celebrant.
Gorgeous Olivia & Winston - not even a week and already left me a beautiful review
THANK YOU!!

Mona spent the time to understand exactly what we wanted our ceremony to look like.

I don’t know how to put in words (ironic huh?) how thankful I am to have couples trust me with one of their most important day. This award is based on reviews from these couples that always warms my heart. From the bottom of my heart - thank you.
I’ve been a bit sick so I’m so sorry for the delay in my replies. It’s actually good timing because I actually have a two weeks gap on weddings!
Hoping everyone is keeping warm and dry! This is my morning nurse ❤️

It’s the small details you don’t notice that makes the feelings flow. My main purpose is to make you feel and remember the significance of your wedding day moment by moment. Most of the time I’m off to one side for you to have beautiful photos. If I’m there, it’s to ground you. I will guide you through the emotions of your day, remind you of the warmth of each other’s hands, where to stand, when to do what, etc. I’ll be there to take care of it all. 📸 @erinandtara 💒 @stonesoftheyarravalley 👗@jasongrech 💄 @sophielaumakeup @ido_planning
On the day I don’t just do the talking, I time manage, crowd control, coordinate all your chosen suppliers so they all know can do their best job for you, look after all your guests , make sure every moment and segment flows and so much more. I do this so you can just enjoy your wedding day with all your closest and dearest
Sometimes my Type A, attention to detail, control freak nature is my best selling point 🤣 I love working with all the different #weddingsuppliers to bring out the best in everyone to make the #weddingday the best it can be. I check the bride & groom’s standing positions for light, shadow, etc, I move every chair & flower if I have to. But most of all I take great care of your emotions on the day. Every feeling is to be embraced and treasured because it’s one very special day.

Thank you for the special exemption to allow me to post for this wedding (hence no names) because I was soooo excited to work with this #flowerdog My first #dog was an #aussieterrier too!! ❤️❤️❤️ Continuing with my expertise of being the #dogspecialistcelebrant I even held her when I married her mum & dad ❤️🐶 Thank you for all the cuddles. This #melbourneweddjng also had the extra touch of utilising my #multiculturalspecialistcelebrant status. Groom’s family is #filipino so I was the one to make sure to incorporate and explain the #filipinowedding traditions that are key. Turns out his sister did the same tradition at her wedding but he didn’t notice! I always make sure to highlight these customs and it’s significance and make it meaningful. 📸🎥 @brightlightweddings 💒 @lyrebirdfallsweddings 💐 @floral_alchemy_ 🌸 @flowersbyfiona 🎶 @animatastringquartet @socialexposureau #wedbymona #melbournecelebrant #melbournewedding #melbournemarriagecelebrant #aussieterriersofinstagram

A standard ceremony would include: Reading 1 - letter from the couple to their family Reading 2 - comments and stories from closest friends Reading 3 - letter from bride and groom to each other Each of these are achieved by a questionnaire I sent out via email. All these readings are edited read by me so everyone can just relax, sit back and enjoy. Every reading is unique for you and about you only, a level of personalised ceremony never seen anywhere else. Fill your ceremony with laughter, happy tears and everything in between.
