Ben from the bottom of our hearts thank you for the work you put in and just being a top bloke.

He’s always chipper, clear, warm and is one of those people who is just a genuine pleasure to be around. He knows his stuff and was able to help us make decisions and made some great suggestions that took the ceremony to the next level.

Tash & Ash – Mobile Barber Shop Wedding

Ben was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. All our guests: Was Ben a family friend? How did we find Ben?

He got the vibe / us right on the money. Everybody was impressed. He is still mentioned 6 months later when our wedding is mentioned.

Ben had this way to get you talking and keep talking when he walks you down memory lane. He responsed in a timely manner and there was no such thing as a silly question. Friendly and easy going. Thank you Ben for making our day so wonderful.

 

Codie & Rhys – The earth House wedding

We had the pleasure of having Ben as out Celebrant for our recent wedding and he was incredible! From start to finish he made us and our guests feel very comfortable and brought great energy to our day.

We loved having Ben as a part of our special day and would 100% recommend him over and over again. Thank you Ben!

 

Alex & Alisha – Fig Tree Restaurant Wedding

I absolutely cannot recommend Ben highly enough!! His positive energy and good humour set the vibe for our wedding and his quirky touches left our guests raving about how good the ceremony was. His calm nature kept us both relaxed and he told our love story perfectly. Ben was everything we wanted in a celebrant and helped make our day exactly how we hoped it would be. Thank you being so awesome Ben!!

 

Thea & Alfie – The Farm Byron Bay Wedding

BEST CELEBRANT EVER!!!! We couldn’t recommend Ben enough. Alfie and I couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Ben was amazing and full of energy. We didn’t get a chance to meet Ben in-person before our ceremony but when we met him, it was just like talking to a long-lost friend. He took the time to get to know us and our story. He was very organised and he made everything so easy. He made it personal, engaging, informal and fun.

Too bad you only get married once because we would most definitely have Ben as our Celebrant again!! Thank you so much Ben!

 

Melinda & Brian – Fins Plantation House

If you are about to get married, snatch up Ben quick, he will not disappoint.

Look up the definition of ‘Bees Knees for Celebrant’s’ in the dictionary and you will find Ben Carlyle’s name! From our first meeting with Ben we knew he was the most humble soul to officiate our special day. His positive, loving vibes are contagious and he brought these plus some for our special day. He kept our ceremony casual and light, exactly what we wanted, He interacted with our guests with many thinking he was a close friend of ours. Ben has a way of keeping you present in those imperative moments. He knew exactly what to say us prior and during our ceremony to kill of our butterflies and to remind us as to focus on what we were doing. Ben you were everything we had envisioned, thank you for everything.

FAQS: Audio, Music, Legals and Wedding Vows

Do you provide a PA and play the Ceremony Music?

Yes, I have an awesome Bose S1 Pro PA, Sennheiser wireless mic, Bluetooth music, suitable up to ~150 guests, perfect as a Gold Coast Celebrant:

  • It’s battery powered
  • Has a fabulous Seinheiser Wireless Microphone system
  • We can bluetooth a Phone / Device to my PA to play the music in the ceremony.
  • This PA is great for a Byron Bay ceremony up to 150 guests.
  • Everyone will hear clearly what is happening in the ceremony.
  • Your ceremony tunes will sound amazing

Yes, I will co-ordinate the playing of your Pre-Ceremony and Ceremony music if you do not have a Live Musician. That saves any of your guests needing to take on that roll and they can soak up all the magic of your Gold Coast Celebrant Ceremony.

How do we get Legally Married in Gold Coast?

To make your marriage legal in Australia, we complete a few key steps:

  • Lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) at least 30 days before your ceremony
  • Show valid ID (passport or birth cert + photo ID)
  • Bring 2 witnesses over 18 to the ceremony
  • Exchange the legally required words
  • Sign your Marriage Certificates
  • I submit all documents to Births, Deaths & Marriages (BDM) for official registration
  • You’re then legally Married, off you head into your Married life.

Do you help with our Wedding Vows?

Yes, I have a fantastic supporting Document to help you create authentic and amazing Wedding Vows.

So here you are – about to sum up everything you feel for your partner in just a few short minutes. No pressure, right? Don’t worry. This is one of the rare moments in life where you get to wear your heart on your sleeve and tell your partner (and everyone listening) exactly why you’re choosing them.

Speak in Your Language

Your vows don’t have to sound like anyone else’s. In fact, they shouldn’t. The best vows are authentic, honest, and 100% you.

For you, that might mean:

  • Writing a heartfelt love letter
  • Making it light and funny
  • Getting a little gushy and romantic
  • Listing promises (serious or silly)
  • Or even writing a short poem

There’s no right or wrong – just your voice, your style, your truth.

The golden rule: Keep it real. And I’m here to help guide you.
