Hi, I’m Maria.

Gold Coast-based Marriage Celebrant and professional MC.


I‘m here to make your ceremony the most meaningful, memorable and intentional part of your wedding.

To me, the wedding is beautiful.
But the marriage is everything.

I believe there’s something pretty extraordinary about choosing one person, building a life together and standing in front of all the people you love to make that promise.

So yes, I’m here for the beautiful dress, the champagne and the incredible venue. But the marriage is the part I care about most.

I‘m a little bit obsessed with getting things right.‍

The timeline, the wording, the vows, the flow. The little details that nobody else thinks about, until suddenly they’re really important. I hold myself, and my ceremonies, to a very high standard.‍ ‍

Your story, your humour, your people, your relationship. No clichés. No cringe.

I craft deeply personalised ceremonies that feel unmistakably yours. Ceremonies with depth, meaning and plenty of personality.

I‘m not here to steal the show. I‘m here to hold the room. To make you feel comfortable, to know when to make people laugh, when to pause and let a moment breathe, and when to get out of the way. It’s your wedding day. It should feel like exactly that.

So if you’re planning a wedding and you care about the details, want the experience to feel fun, seamless and effortless, want a ceremony that is modern, romantic and genuinely personal, and believe things are worth doing properly…

‍ Then I’m your girl.
