Tarsh & Steve’s Byron Bay wedding at the beautiful Fig Tree Restaurant was full of heart, laughter, and unforgettable moments. As their Byron Bay celebrant, it was an honour to hold space for such a vibrant, down-to-earth couple. Here’s a snapshot of their epic celebration:

Set beneath the iconic, ancient fig tree with sweeping hinterland views, their ceremony was intimate, heartfelt, and full of love.

This Fig Tree Restaurant ceremony Vibe:

Family-first: We honoured their parents with a special moment, ending in a powerful, goosebump-worthy family hug.
Vows that hit every note: Equal parts emotional, funny, and real — Tarsh & Steve had us all laughing and tearing up.
All the feels: From belly laughs to happy tears, this ceremony had every guest locked into the moment.
Tarsh & Steve’s ceremony was Fun, emotional and Soulful.

Their Love Story

Where they met: At a party in the small coastal town of Tathra.
First impressions: Tarsh thought Steve was “the hottest, coolest human on earth.”
First date: Steve played the gentleman — especially knowing her dad had a tough-guy rep in town (he’s actually a Harley-riding softie).
Their life together:
Bought a seaside shack
Adopted two pet rabbits 🐇
Own 38 indoor plants (yes, they admit it’s a “plant fetish”)
Tarsh loves golf, Steve loves the rabbits — it balances out!

What the Steve & Tarsh said:

The most legendary celebrant you will ever come across. Balances all the professional, hilarious, chilled vibes like a crazy Love Guru. Ben ensures your guests feel all the love and involvement, whilst also maintaining the reason why everyone is gathered.

Ben makes sure you have your feet on the ground while enjoying the crazy ride of wedding planning and the big day itself.

He made my husband and I feel so ourselves that we could comfortably and confidently say our special Vows to one another, in front of all of our favourite humans, a public speakers nightmare!!!

I could not have found a more well suited Celebrant to ensure Steve and I had the very best start to this wonderful chapter in our lives! I will forever be grateful for the memories Ben shared with us on our special day!!
