Meet Your Whip-Crackin’
LGBTQIA+ Wedding Celebrant
aka Australia’s Cheekiest Gay Marriage Celebrant
It’s crazy to think that for the longest time in Australia, you couldn’t marry the love of your life if they were of the same sex as you. Luckily though, in 2017, Australia finally caught up with the 21st Century when they changed the marriage legislation to allow “TWO PEOPLE” to marry, regardless of their sex. Yewww!!! And in the words of Lizzo; "about damn time".
And I'm so lucky that in my celebrant career, I've never once had to say that marriage is between a “man & a woman” (which is what it used to be) because it’s not, it’s between “two people” and I fuckin’ love that!
Some couples choose me as their gay marriage celebrant because I myself am a friend of Dorothy’s, (gay for those of you not in the know) and they know that I’ll not only be able to relate to their love story, but more importantly, will be able to deliver it with the love and meaning it deserves. And some just choose me because they want their guests to say "that's the best damn wedding we've ever been to" and they know that's exactly what will happen with me at their wedding.
“Monty.. what a guy! Hilarious, heartwarming and helpful! He wove our story together beautifully, and had the audience laughing, crying, and shouting “yay for gay!”
Seriously, hire this man for your ceremony. You won’t regret it. 🌈 🤠”

From Mild To Wild
I’ve been part of some truly incredible moments with my LGBTQIA+ couples, from letting Harriet & Leo convince me to get into full drag as Moira Rose, before they undressed me down to a gold chain bondage harness which was a nod to their love of fetish, swingers and kink parties, to Eren & Ash who walked down the aisle to an acoustic version of Khia’s "My Neck, My Back", before ripping off my priest outfit to reveal my assless leather cowboy chaps.
Not all the outfit choices are as wild as this though, with many couples opting for a more conservative wardrobe, and saving the jaw-dropping moments for their story, where I retell the best parts of their time together, from mild to wild and everything in between.

“You don’t just want this guy for ceremony, you NEED him if you want a bangin’ ceremony. He is worth his weight in gold. There was no dry eye in the house from tears of laughter. Our guests have not stopped speaking about him and how great he was, who could blame them? I would 1000% recommend Monty to everyone I know. If there’s one thing you do on your day, please book Him!!”
