The City Specialist
Melbourne’s CBD offers iconic backdrops, from the steps of the State Library to the graffiti-filled laneways. For couples seeking a ‘Registry Office’ style wedding with a more personal touch, I provide a soulful city solution that moves at your pace.

From rooftop bars like Siglo to grand heritage venues like the Melbourne Town Hall, I specialize in crafting full-service ceremonies ($1100) that match the energy and elegance of a cosmopolitan Melbourne wedding
Intimate Elopements
Looking for a quiet corner in the Royal Botanic Gardens or a chic corner at Higher Ground? I specialize in micro-weddings ($950) that focus on intimacy, ensuring your inner-city elopement feels truly private
Iconic Melbourne CBD Wedding Venues I Service
I am deeply familiar with Melbourne’s premier CBD venues, including the Hellenic Museum and the NGV. Being centrally active, I navigate the city grid effortlessly to arrive at your venue perfectly prepared

My team from ARLAI Event Co worked with Annie on the weekend and as planners she was a delight to deal with. Professional, kind, accommodating and friendly. (Which is what you want in a celebrant!) - In the lead up her communication was excellent and we would happily work with her again!Posted on Google Melissa BonaviaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We chose Annie to perform a surprise vow renewal ceremony at my 60th Birthday party. It wasnt just any party it was a costume party and Annie was all in! She came early, dressed in costume and mingled with our guests to keep the surprise going. She was brilliant. The Time Travellers theme was woven through the ceremony and she nailed it. Annie is an easy going friendly and beautiful soul and we couldnt have been happier to have her help us celebrate the 40th Anniversary of our love story. We will always be grateful to her for the amazing celebration she helped us create. Thank you AnniePosted on Google Beatrice AlbaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not be more happy with having Annie as our celebrant. She was warm, supportive, and very open to our preferences through the whole journey. The story she told about our relationship at the ceremony was an absolute delight, and many of our guests thought it was one of the best they had ever heard. Annie put us at ease on the day and provided the relaxed yet professional experience we were hoping for.Posted on Google Katelyn & LauraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebrant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Annie was incredibly kind, genuine, and so easy to connect with. She took the time to really get to know us as a couple, and that care and attention showed so beautifully in our ceremony. On the day, Annie’s reassuring presence made such a difference and she created such a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere that allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Thank you so much Annie! Love, Katelyn & LauraVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
