Coastal Ceremonies

Geelong and the Surf Coast provide a magical setting for outdoor weddings. Whether you’re planning a ceremony at Eastern Beach, a hidden spot in the Botanic Gardens, or a clifftop ‘I do’ in Torquay, I specialize in bringing heartfelt rituals to these natural environments

Themed & Spiritual

The Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast are the perfect landscapes for my Handfasting or Pagan-inspired ceremonies. I help couples connect with the elements—earth, sea, and sky—incorporating ancient traditions into a modern coastal celebration.

Intimate Beach Micro-Weddings

Dreaming of a small gathering at Jan Juc or a relaxed picnic wedding at Balyang Sanctuary? My $950 micro-wedding package is designed for groups of up to 60, offering a professional PA system and a bespoke script that captures your coastal vibe

Bespoke Vineyard Weddings

The Geelong region is home to world-class wineries like Mt Duneed Estate and Jack Rabbit. I specialize in the $1100 full bespoke package, providing a ‘Resources Booklet’ and unlimited support to ensure your vineyard ceremony is as premium as the wine.

Travel & Convenience

Geelong is a core part of my service area. The first 2 hours of travel time are included in my standard packages, making it affordable and easy to have a professional Melbourne-based celebrant travel to the coast for your big day.

Legals & Certificates

I manage all your legal lodgements with BDM Victoria. If you need your formal Marriage Certificate ($70) quickly for a name change or visa, I ensure the process is streamlined and stress-free

Even though we chose to have a very simple ceremony with only our witnesses present, Annie made it feel incredibly special and meaningful. She has such a warm, genuine presence and created a beautiful ceremony that was personal, relaxed, and so touching. She made us both feel completely at ease, and the whole experience was everything we had hoped for. Thank you, Annie, for making one of the most important moments of our lives so memorable. We couldn’t recommend you more highly.

Annie was amazing during our ceremony planning! She was warm and friendly and very easy to speak to which made us pick her right away after speaking to a few celebrants! She also wrote a beautiful and funny script for our ceremony while staying true to who we are and it felt like a very warm and intimate ceremony!

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!
