Congratulations!
You just found the best marriage celebrant in Brisbane
G’day lovers, I’m Monty, your whip cracking, cowboy boot wearing Brisbane celebrant, and I hope you’re ready to have a crackin’ good time with me at your wedding. I’m young, I’m fun and I’ll entertain the pants off grandma as much as I will your best mates. Good times and bulk laughs guaranteed.
No More Boring Ceremonies In Brisbane
Your guests won’t believe that a wedding could be this much fun.
My couples love a fun-filled, entertaining and modern ceremony, without all the fluff and boring bits, and that’s exactly what you’ll get when you book me as your Brisbane wedding celebrant. A perfectly balanced, heartfelt and hilarious kickstarter to your best day yet. And, just as a little cherry on top, did you know that you actually get to choose the outfit I wear to your wedding?! From budgy smugglers or assless chaps to chinos and suspenders, there’s an option to suit every vibe, wild or mild, take your pick.
And, if you want those good vibes to carry on well into your reception, you can now book me as your MC too. Yee haa!
“Monty is hands down the Best Celebrant we've ever seen and we were lucky enough to have him for our ceremony. He had the guests in stitches the whole time and super engaged. We had lots of compliments about how fun it was.”

Why Me?
Your Fun-Loving, Cheeky Brisbane Celebrant
I’m so incredibly lucky that I get to travel the country hitching loved-up couples in every state, with QLD being one of my absolute favourites. And yes, you could just book a celebrant that’s local, and save yourselves a few bucks on the travel, but, there’s a reason couples book me from Darwin to Tasmania, and everywhere in between. It’s because they know they can’t get this kind of whip-cracking, cowboy boot wearing fun, male celebrant anywhere else.
Whether you’re getting hitched down by the river at the Brisbane Powerhouse, at the beautiful Gabbinbar Homestead, or further north on a scenic country property, chances are I’ve been there and bought the t-shirt… and if not, you can bet on my budgy smugglin’ ass that nothing will stop this cheeky wedding celebrant from getting you hitched at your favourite QLD venue. Nowhere is too far for me to travel as I love a good road trip!
Fun, Personal Brisbane Weddings The Way They Should Be
Brisbane has so many incredible venues to choose from, whether you’re after an industrial warehouse-style vibe or a more luxe and boujie affair, you truly are spoilt for choice.
And as important as it is to find the right venue for your big day, choosing a celebrant that matches your personalities and can tell your love story in the most perfect way is just as important, as the vibe they bring can totally make or break your ceremony.
We’ve all been to a boring, traditional, impersonal wedding that has dragged on and on and completely killed the mood, but, lucky for you, that’s the exact opposite of what to expect with me as your Brisbane celebrant. I get to know my couples deep down, and every ceremony is crafted and delivered to reflect your personalities and relationship, so well in fact that I can guarantee your guests will assume we’ve been best mates for as long as you’ve known each other, and they’ll be telling you that your ceremony was the best they’ve ever seen.
I’m not just tooting my own horn here either, as the reviews speak for themselves.
“Monty is incredible. The best celebrant you could ask for. Tells your story in the most interesting way and gets all your guest involved. Had so many compliments about ‘how fun and funny our ceremony was, in such a tasteful way. Guest are still raving about our ceremony and that is all thanks to Monty.”

My Top Brisbane Venues
If you’re still on the hunt for a venue, check out some of these epic places I’ve previously worked at with some of my amazing couples:
Gabbinbar Homestead – where I hitched the edgy Lorelle & Leigh in an all-black, dark & stormy, leather-clad ceremony, a first for the crew at Gabbinbar that’s for sure. This was quite the contrast in style to Sophie & Jarmohn’s fun & fabulous, boho-style wedding held in Gabbinbar’s beautiful gardens.
Brisbane Powerhouse – from an intimate 7-person elopement with Naomi & Lauren to a bigger, more colourful love fest like Taylor & Blake’s, the powerhouse knows how to celebrate and you’re guaranteed a good time and epic photos to match.
Rosewood Estate – if you’re after a breathtaking view of the Gold Coast from the mountains like Isaiah & Matt were, then look no further than Rosewood Estate. An absolute stunner of a venue.
Kooroomba Vineyards & Lavender Farm – from the moment Jack & Daniel landed by helicopter right in the guts of a lavender field, their guests knew they were in for a good time. Absolutely stunning location that you’ve truly got to see for yourself.
Cedar Creek Lodges – situated in the beautiful Tamborine Mountains, the drive there is almost as breathtaking as Cedar Creek Lodge itself, and was the perfect spot to get Joel & Jaz hitched in front of their favourite people.
These are just a few of my favourites, and as you can see from the photos below, every single wedding is so wildly different, but still have one big thing in common… me – the young, fun, male celebrant tearing it up with the most entertaining, shit hot, fun-filled wedding ceremony.
So what are ya waiting for? Let’s get crackin’!
FAQS
-
If your ceremony is important to you, then a celebrant should be the first thing you book, even before a venue, as nothing can make or break the entire vibe of your wedding like a celebrant.
Many of my couples contact me before they even have a date or venue in mind to check my availability, as their ceremony is the single most important part of their big day.
That being said, generally my calendar is booked up 12-18 months in advance, and up to 2 years for prime wedding dates such as Saturdays in peak wedding season, so as soon as you have a date in mind, or a few date options, I'd recommend locking down a celebrant ASAP so you don’t get stitched up with someone dodgy.

Ceremonies can and often do drag on for far too long, leaving couples and their guests hot and bothered in the sun listening to the most boring, impersonal spiel about love, marriage and relationships.
Good news though, I don’t do that. In fact, quite the opposite. My weddings typically last around 20-25 minutes, cutting out all the fluff and boring stuff nobody cares to listen to, and instead, filling that time with fun, meaningful, personalised content.
And because I'm crafting every ceremony from scratch, turning your story into a rom com/highlights reel of the best bits, you and your guests will be hanging off every word, absolutely living for what I have to say next, and before you know it, you’ll be hitched to the love of your life.

I'm not your average Melbourne celebrant and definitely don't deliver an average ceremony, so my fee is above average and reflects the whip crackin, SHIT HOT experience you're going to have with me as your celebrant. I understand that most people have a budget they're trying to stick within, but I value connection and experience over price, and I hope you do too.

My fee covers all the boring legal stuff needed in order to get married, including lodgement of the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM), lodgement of your official marriage documents to Births, Deaths & Marriages (BDM) in your respective state or territory and as an added bonus to make things even easier on you, it also covers the application & payment ($60) for your official marriage certificate from BDM after your ceremony.
Now the good stuff…
Unlimited contact with me in the lead up to your big day, which means no matter how many questions you have, there is absolutely no limit on the contact you can have with me in order for us to create the most amazing ceremony ever.
Design & delivery of your custom, fully personalised wedding ceremony, tailored to perfectly reflect your personalities and your relationship in a way that will have your guests thinking we are best mates and saying that’s the best wedding they’ve ever seen.
Use of my shit hot Bose P.A system for your ceremony & ceremony music. Videographers love this system as it allows for them to record crystal clear audio of your ceremony for your wedding films.
You get to choose the outfit I wear to your wedding, from a fun and interactive video which showcases 12 different options, from mild to wild, including boots, whips and even assless leather chaps if you dare.
Rehearsals are NOT included nor are they offered, and for good reason. They’re a huge waste of time, and, more importantly, standing in your ceremony location the day before will take away so much of the hype and authentic emotion that is so valuable on the day and in your wedding photos/video. Trust me, I'll word you up on the entrance just before kick off and you’ll absolutely nail it, plus, one less thing to do the night before will take away a whole heap of wedding stress.
ENTERTAINMENT BABY! You can’t really put a price on this, but believe me when I tell you, the entertainment value right from the moment I crack the whip and round your guests up through to when you hit the dance floor, I'll be setting the tone and vibe for your best day yet. Laughs, tears and everything in between, you won’t believe how much fun you could have at your wedding until we’re standing there together, and then you’ll be wishing it will never end.
Travel fee is additional depending on distance/location.

The Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) is a legal document that must be completed and lodged with a celebrant at least one calendar month before you can marry. It outlines your intention to marry, (though you can pull out at any time) and must be lodged with a celebrant no more than 18 months out from your wedding, but no less than one calendar month before your wedding.
This document is available on the Attorney General’s Department website, along with a list of approved witnesses who you can complete this document with, though it must be lodged with a celebrant in order for the one month minimum notice period to be in effect.
Along with this document, you must prove your ID to the celebrant, including place of birth and photo ID, meaning a passport will suffice for both of these requirements, or a birth certificate and drivers licence if a passport is not available.
