Vibrant, personal weddings where your guests feel part of the story
One person from “I do” to the last dance. I write your ceremony, make it legal, then keep the party flowing all night.
All couples welcome
I’m an Authorised Marriage Celebrant and MC based in Shepparton, and a lover of a good time. Every couple I marry gets a ceremony written from scratch, just for them.
I’m married myself, so I know what you need: someone who replies fast, keeps you in the loop and takes the legal stuff off your plate completely.
During your ceremony I don’t just speak to you, I speak to the room. My goal is for your favourite people to leave feeling warm, involved and buzzing for the rest of the night.
Your favourite people, leaving warm, involved and buzzing for the rest of the night. 🧡The goal, every single wedding
Most couples book a celebrant for the ceremony and someone else for the reception. Book me for both, and the person who tells your story at 3pm is the same one bringing the room to its feet at 9pm.
Your story, written from scratch, with the right mix of laughs and happy tears. Rain, hail or shine. I handle every legal form, help you with your vows and bring the sound system so everyone hears every word.
I build the run sheet with you, introduce the bridal party, look after speeches and work with the venue and kitchen so food, toasts and the first dance land on time.
Send a quick enquiry. I’ll reply fast to confirm whether I’m free, so you know where you stand.
Sign your agreement and pay a $400 deposit. Then we lodge the legal form, which has to be in at least a month before the wedding.
We chat (coffee, phone or video, as often as you like), I write, you approve. Vow help included.
I run the ceremony, sign and register everything, and if you’ve booked the MC, keep the party rolling.
Two packages. Every ceremony gets the same care, whether it’s 2 guests or 200.
A fully personal ceremony, written just for you.
Any guest numbers, including elopements
One person from “I do” to the last dance.
Your whole day in one set of hands, from first word to last dance
Married without the fuss. Ideal if the big party is overseas or later, or you want it done before a holiday. Includes the legal forms, the legal words and vows, signing and registration. Up to 2 witnesses.
🧡 Locals and familiar faces: this community runs on connections. If we’ve crossed paths, or a couple I’ve married sent you my way, tell me. I love looking after familiar faces.
We wanted someone energetic, who could have some banter with our guests, but also someone heartfelt and serious when we needed… Katie listened, offered ideas from her experience and ultimately created a beautiful ceremony for Jake, myself and our family!
Chelsea & JakeKatie went above and beyond to make sure our three children were included in the ceremony in such a meaningful way… I was constantly messaging her with “what about this?” ideas, and not once did she make me feel like anything was too much.
Ashleigh & AndrewShe took the time to get to know us as a couple and created a ceremony that felt completely authentic and personal to who we are. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
Mikahla & JamesShe was so loving, inviting, and engaging and it made everyone feel comfortable and truly part of the moment.
Ayla W. · Wedding GuestThe ceremony she delivered was the perfect balance of heartfelt, fun and entertaining. She created such a beautiful atmosphere, had everyone laughing and smiling, and most importantly made the couple feel incredibly special.
Helen A. · Wedding Content CreatorTruly brings the vibe for the wedding day with a tailored approach to every couple, and knows how to make a crowd laugh.
Coby E. · Videographer & PhotographerPlenty more love notes, happy-tear moments and real feedback from couples and guests live on my Instagram. Come say hi at @katiescarcellamc →
Absolutely. Tell me roughly when you’re thinking and I’ll let you know how my calendar looks.
There’s one form (the Notice of Intended Marriage) that must be lodged with me at least one month and no more than 18 months before your wedding. I walk you through it, then sign and register your marriage with Births, Deaths & Marriages afterwards. You don’t have to chase anything.
Yes, you’ll sign a keepsake certificate on the day. For name changes you’ll need the legal certificate from Births, Deaths & Marriages. I can order it for you as an add-on so it’s one less job.
Most couples book 6–18 months out, and spring and autumn Saturdays go first. Short notice? Ask anyway, and remember the legal form needs to be in at least a month before.
We carry on with umbrellas and big smiles (I’ve done it!). Talk to your venue about a wet-weather spot, and I’ll adapt the ceremony on the day.
One brief, one run sheet, one person who already knows your story, your families and your timeline. No handover gaps, one less vendor to manage, and the same familiar face looking after you all day.
I love an intimate wedding. Small ceremonies get the same custom script and care as big ones. Just after the legal bit? See Just the Legals.
I’m based in Shepparton and marry couples right across the Goulburn Valley, from Mooroopna, Kialla and Tatura to Nagambie, Euroa, Benalla, Kyabram, Echuca–Moama, Cobram and Yarrawonga. Travel within the Goulburn Valley is included. Further afield is very doable; I’ll quote travel upfront.
I’m often asked this. Weddings are my focus, and funerals aren’t something I set out to advertise, but the more I’m asked, the more I feel called to help families through these deeply personal moments.
I want to be open with you: I haven’t yet conducted a funeral. I believe saying goodbye is just as sacred as saying “I do”, and it deserves the same storytelling, warmth and care. If you’re planning a farewell and feel my voice is what your loved one would have wanted, please reach out. I would love to look after you and your family.
Yes. I value love in all its forms, and every couple is welcome.
Fill this in and it comes straight to me. I’ll reply quickly to confirm availability, then we’ll chat properly.
No obligation. I reply fast, always within 24 hours. If you can’t see my reply, check your junk or promotions folder.
