What's my ceremony style?
I create ceremonies that are romantic, fun, unique and all about your love, crafted just for you.
The couple are the foundation stone and substance of the ceremony that we write and create together.
I will spend time getting to know you and share my resources, experience and all that will make your day special.
The day belongs to the couple and it is about them and their families. Each ceremony is different and unique to the couple and it is an expression of their love and future together. The ceremony encompasses all aspects of the couples journey and relationship, and I as a celebrant and legal solemniser facilitate this. Thank you Tom

What do I offer?
Weddings
A wedding to suit all requirements, wishes and dreams.
Perhaps you want a wedding that allows you and your partner to express your love for one another, witnessed by your family and friends.
We can work together in planning this unique and beautiful ceremony.
This gathering can be an intimate indoor affair or outside amongst nature.
I have over 25 years experience and I’ve been honored to marry very close friends, nieces & nephews and siblings.
Cliff Top Ceremonies I have been involved with a number of weddings that have taken place on the stunning Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Ireland. I have also married couples in a variety of very special and unique venues, some of which include castles and forests.
Time Capsule Ritual
The Time Capsule wedding ritual is a beautiful and meaningful way for couples to celebrate their love and commitment to each other. The idea is to create a time capsule together that will be opened on a special anniversary, such as their 10th or 20th wedding anniversary.
Sand Ceremony
A wedding sand ceremony is a beautiful and meaningful way to symbolize the union of two people in marriage. During the ceremony, the couple pours different colored sands from individual containers into a larger container, representing their individual.
Why choose Thomas for your wedding?
I love music and creating ceremonies with others. I offer a space to create powerful ceremonies and stories which reside in all of us. This is done in a very supportive, caring, and loving way.
‘We are overjoyed to share our heartfelt appreciation for the incredible role Tom played in making our wedding day so extraordinary. From the very beginning, His warmth and professionalism stood out, and as our celebrant, Tom exceeded all our expectations. Tom’s ability to craft a ceremony that perfectly captured our love story left us in awe. The personalized touches he added made the ceremony feel uniquely “us,” and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how
Naming Ceremonies
Helping you arrange an official welcoming of your baby. We cover everything from an intimate ceremony in the home, outside in nature, to more extravagant celebrations and parties.
Naming a Child
Nothing is more special than a new life and it is important that families have an opportunity to mark such an important event and to celebrate. Whilst christenings and other religious ceremonies are right for people who follow a particular faith, there is an alternative for people who are not religious or where the child’s parents have different faiths and want something neutral.
Why choose Thomas for your naming ceremony?
Renewal of Vows
Vow renewals are becoming very popular and I love creating a special and unique ceremony based on your wedding day and your life together , up to the time you chose to renew your vows.
What a lovely way to say “I LOVE YOU” after years of marriage. Renewal of Vows or Reaffirmation of Vows has become popular in recent years ~ from a one-year anniversary to fifty years of marriage. It can be anytime, and a beautiful way to express your love and commitment to your lifelong partner. Some couples who have been married overseas choose to renew their vows with their family and friends.
Why choose Thomas for your renewal of vows?
Tom married us at the Maryborough Hotel recently and it was fantastic! He was funny and created a meaningful and brilliant service for us. So many of our guests came up to me afterwards saying what a great service it was and asking if Tom had known us for a while based on how well he tailored his words to us. So happy we found Tom to marry us!

A celebrant and a friend
We first met Tom about 12 months before we married. I knew within moments of speaking with him there was no one else I would want to marry us. Toms kind heart, his wonderful sense of humour and his calm presence were the catalyst for the most beautiful day of our lives.
Tom listened to our story over a slice of apple pie at our kitchen table and created a beautiful, intimate and personal ceremony.
He created a beautiful space for us to celebrate our love and exchange vows.
Tom reminded us about the importance of our roots and how beautiful traditions can be when you make them your own.
We will forever be thankful for the moments he gave us that day.
December 2024 Wedding
Thank you Tom for the most beautiful ceremony, you really made us feel so at ease and relaxed on the day despite our nerves. All of our guests complimented the ceremony and said it was the nicest they have been to, all down to you. What an amazing day it was. We couldn’t recommend you enough! Lots of Love, Mr & Mrs G :)
The Perfect Celebrant!
We truly thought our wedding couldn’t be any better, and then came Tom.
We are so grateful to have had Tom as our wedding officiant! From our first meeting, he made us feel comfortable and understood exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. Tom’s warmth and professionalism shone through as he crafted a beautiful, personalized script that perfectly captured our love story.
On the big day, he delivered the ceremony with such grace and sincerity, leaving our guests moved and engaged. His calm demeanor helped ease our nerves, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant.
Tom went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, and we truly felt that he cared about making our day special. We highly recommend Tom to any couple looking for a thoughtful, dedicated officiant!
Thank you, Tom, for making our wedding day unforgettable!
