Gold Coast Wedding Celebrant - Janda Events 💒

We believe that being the best wedding celebrant requires you to also be a good human!

That’s not as conceited a claim as it sounds, promise. In fact, we believe that doing anything truly well requires genuine empathy and bona fide enthusiasm. We adore what we do, and we wholeheartedly identify with every one of our soon-to-be-wed couples. It can’t be just coincidence that – after more than a decade in the wedding industry – we’re yet to have a first-hand account of a bride-/groom-zilla and have countless lasting connections with ex-’clients’. We ask all of our wedding couples to “dig-deep” when it comes to the giving of themselves, and because of this process, we’re generally fortunate enough to walk away post-ceremony and consider ourselves not only your abso-fave gold coast wedding celebrant but also your friend.
