Celebrant Bess
Melbourne based
Wedding Celebrant
Life is filled with beautiful moments, but your wedding day is truly one of the most magical and unforgettable days of your life. As we embark on this journey together, I will provide you with a thoughtful Information Pack and support you every step of the way, ensuring your special day is everything you’ve dreamed of. I also have the joy of officiating multicultural weddings in both English and Greek, celebrating love in all its beautiful forms.
Hi, I’m Bess …
The Key to Happiness…
I truly believe that happiness comes from doing what we love—something that inspires us, drives us, and gives us purpose. Nearly 15 years ago, I found my purpose when I became a celebrant. Public speaking, often considered life’s greatest fear, has always been my passion. But for me, it’s never about being in the spotlight—it’s about the people I have the privilege of standing beside during life’s most significant moments.
My role is simple yet profound:
Weddings
💍 I am here for my couples, creating a wedding ceremony that tells their unique love story.
It’s about getting it just right—celebrating love, life, and the moments that truly matter.
If you’re looking for a celebrant who is warm, calm, and deeply committed to making your ceremony unforgettable, I would love to connect with you. Let’s create something beautiful together.
Funerals
🕊️ I am here for families, honouring and capturing the essence of their loved ones in a heartfelt farewell.
Weddings
As an Authorised Melbourne wedding celebrant, I have the privilege of meeting incredible people from all walks of life. It fills my heart with joy when couples trust me to craft and deliver a ceremony that truly reflects their love story. Your wedding day is a beautiful declaration of love, and your ceremony should be a heartfelt expression of who you are—both as individuals and as a couple.
This is your day, and it should be as unique as your love. Be true to yourselves, embrace your own style, and surround yourselves with suppliers you trust so you can fully immerse in the magic of the moment. The most radiant thing your guests will see that day is the pure happiness shining on your faces.
My couples know they can count on me—I bring peace of mind and excitement to every wedding I officiate. If you’d love to share your love story and proposal, I’ll help bring it to life, creating a moment that will delight and inspire your guests. There’s something truly special about witnessing love in its purest form—it’s a feeling that stays with you.
I am here for you every step of the way. You’ll have unlimited contact with me, and our first meeting is completely free. I always recommend a rehearsal, which I also provide at no extra cost, ensuring you feel confident and at ease on your big day—no surprises, just joy.
From completing all legal documentation to ordering your wedding certificate, I take care of the details so you can focus on celebrating. I bring my own PA system and lectern, and I arrive at least an hour early on your wedding day to ensure everything is perfect.
Just imagine the joy of standing hand in hand, knowing that everything has come together beautifully. I would love to be part of your journey, making your wedding day as seamless, heartfelt, and unforgettable as your love story.
Funerals
A Heartfelt Farewell
A final farewell should be exactly as the family wishes—authentic, meaningful, and a true reflection of the life it honours. It is a privilege to conduct a funeral service, to stand beside families during such a pivotal moment, and to celebrate a life well-lived.
Every person has a story—stories of love, courage, strength, and resilience. My role is to listen, to understand, and to ensure that their essence is beautifully captured. A well-crafted service brings comfort, offering a sense of peace to those who grieve.
With a calm and steady presence, I guide families through this deeply personal journey. Music, memories, and words weave together to create a cherished tribute. A favourite song can stir the heart, reminding us of moments shared and love that remains.
Each service I facilitate is personal and unique, offering solace to family and friends. I am also available to work with individuals before they pass, helping them design their own farewell and write their eulogy—a final gift of love to those they leave behind.
Above all, I uphold the highest standards of respect, dignity, and confidentiality. Every life deserves to be honoured with care and sincerity, and I am here to ensure that happens.
I pour my heart into every funeral service I facilitate, knowing how important it is to honour a life with sincerity and respect. When someone says, “Thank you, I’ve learned something today,” I know I’ve done my job. For me, it’s more than a service—it’s a meaningful tribute, a chance to bring comfort, and a way to ensure a loved one’s story is told with warmth and dignity.
