I have been a celebrant for 4 years and hitched over 200 couples. I became a celebrant because I felt the weddings I attended were missing that WOW factor. They seemed to be all the same, a bit of a snore fest and didn’t seem to have that spark or feel personal. Believe me when I say I totally get that planning a wedding can be a total head spin, I was in your position 7 years ago. Let me be your wedding wingwoman, your wedding spirit guide, your wedding fairy god-sister and most of all, your wedding bestie.
I’m the type of gal, that loves to get to know you. I am a bubbly, chatty, hyperactive, gin and coffee loving gal. I am a wife to a record loving, bass playing, tattooed dude and mum to a curly headed, fun loving, sassy toddler. I am a party starter and ultimate wedding crasher.
When I’m not hitching loved up humans, you can find me rocking out to punk, glam-rock and metal music. I get a buzz out of watching live music. I love Queens of the Stoneage, The Bronx, Motley Crue, a brightly lit pin ball machine, 80s cartoons and the TV show “How I met your mother”. “Kickstart my heart” is the theme song to my life and my spirit animal would be a meerkat.
I am passionate about making the day all about the two of you and injecting your personalities into your ceremony. As well as keeping you both calm and making the day drama free. Let’s sit down over a beverage of some kind and you will quickly find out, that I am the Mel and I’ve got your back, I genuinely give a stuff and I want to showcase you babes for who YOU are on YOUR wedding day.
If you believe that the movies “Stepbrothers” and “Empire Records” are the greatest movies of all time then I think we just became best friends.

First things first, Mel is a bloody legend, and you NEED her to be a part of your big day!
From the moment we met Mel at the Hunter Valley wedding expo back in 2023, we knew she was the one for us. If you’re after a wedding that’s fun from start to finish, look no further—Mel is your girl! Vibrant, caring, a total party starter, and the best third wheel you could ever ask for.
Mel was our celebrant and our MC, and let me tell you, she had everything covered. Her communication were flawless—emails, texts, Instagram DMs, phone calls, in-person catch ups—you name it, she was all over it. She just gets you, and after sussing out Will and I, she totally nailed the vibe we wanted. Whether it’s getting the guests hyped, making them feel part of your big day, or just bringing the party energy, Mel’s got it on lock.
Fun, energetic, warm, and welcoming—Mel is everything you could want in a celebrant, an MC, and a genuine, all-around amazing human being. We are so grateful to have had her be part of our day. If you’re lucky enough to lock her in, you’re in for the wedding of a lifetime!
