    Simone & Adam 2023

  • Our guests were saying 'she was amazing, best I've seen at her job, loved her'. Lauren went above & beyond as our Celebrant. She was so genuinely happy for us & with us every step of the day. Could not be happier to recommend this epic human as your Celebrant.

    Shell & Dyl 2023

  • Lauren was the most incredible Celebrant we could have ever asked for. Lauren was an absolute dream to work with. Our ceremony was the perfect balance of emotional, loving & passionate. Our guests are still raving over how perfect the ceremony was. Lauren found the best aspects of our relationship & delivered a personalised ceremony. She radiates sunshine & made us feel so comfortable!

    Celine & Andy 2023

  • Amazing, fabulous, fantastic are words we happily associate with our Celebrant, Lauren. Our wedding ceremony was exactly what we hoped for. We would highly recommend Lauren to anyone getting married. She is calm, funny & warm - a wonderful mixture. We really feel blessed & grateful to have had her officiate our day.

    Casey & Drew 2023

  • Lauren is amazing! She is very patient & understanding. She always makes sure that the couple gets what they want. Cannot recommend her highly enough! One of the best decisions we made was going with Lauren.

    Mini & Aidan 2023

  • Lauren was very accommodating towards our desire of the ceremony being private. She still created a bespoke script which made us laugh and was exactly what we wanted. The communication between Lauren & myself prior to the ceremony was concise & the process very easy to navigate.

    A & V 2023

  • We greatly thank Lauren for being our Celebrant. Everything was well-managed & we recommend her to those who do not want to take the lead, want complete privacy & who are foreign to Australia. Thank you so much Lauren, we will never forget this magical moment in our eyes.

    Franck & Stevie 2023

  • Lauren made everything seamless from start to finish. The detail Lauren put into the ceremony was incredible. Lauren was available for a chat whenever we needed her. Having Lauren as our Celebrant was such an amazing experience, such an honour & we will recommend her to anyone. We can't thank you enough Lauren.

    Kieran & Alexis 2022

  • Lauren made us feel important & valued. She customised everything to match our unique love story. Lauren was so quick to jump in with suggestions & assistance when we had no idea what we wanted to do. Lauren felt like a friend rather than a Celebrant. She is absolutely exceptional & all our guests said how fantastic the ceremony was which was due to Lauren's genuine interest & care in us. We wholeheartedly recommend Lauren who is such a funny & caring individual. When we renew our vows, we know who we will be calling.

    Dee & Dean 2022

  • Our day was absolutely perfect & even better than we envisioned, all of which was Lauren's doing. We feel like we won the lottery & absolutely could not have made a better decision than hiring Lauren. Our day was exponentially more special with her input & subtle touches.

    Charlotte & Lewis 2022

  • Thank you so much Lauren for your Celebrant services which were very professional & of the highest standard. Everyone commented how much they liked the wedding, you made it a great day for us.

    Leigh & Roxy 2022

  • We found Lauren & instantly knew we were on the right track. Lauren's warmth, understanding & kindness assured us that we were going to be well taken care of. Lauren did everything in her power to help, well beyond what was expected. Her local knowledge really helped with us being based in Longreach. We would recommend Lauren to absolutely anyone as she made our day!

    Cassie & Jarryd 2022

  • Lauren made our day so memorable! We received so many compliments about the ceremony being genuine, touching & most of all, funny, which is what we wanted. It was most definitely true to us. Thank you for your help, friendliness & guidance whilst trying to organise a wedding during a pandemic. Lauren made the entire process so easy for us, we really appreciate it.

    Chris & Greta 2021

  • Lauren you are truly an angel from above. If it wasn't for you, it would have come to a standstill. You are simply the dreamboat of all Celebrants and we are so thankful for our you painted our ceremony and as the wise Tina Turner once said ' you're simply the best, you're better than all the rest'.

    Bec & Dan 2023

  • Thank you so much, Lauren! It was so perfect, better than what I dreamed of! Loved everything! We loved what you said and created for our ceremony, it was so beautiful! Thank you so much for making our special day so great.

    Kerry & Alex 2024

  • Thank you so much, Lauren for making our ceremony so perfect. I had so many compliments about how perfect you made it! It was exactly what we were after.

    Jessie & Scott 2023

  • We couldn't have asked for a better wedding Celebrant than Lauren. Her expertise and warm personality made our special day truly unforgettable. Lauren not only conducted the ceremony flawlessly, but also managed to capture the depth of our emotions beautifully. She has a unique talent for making everyone feel at ease and all with a touch of humour, which was so important to us. Lauren's dedication was evident and she made sure that our family and friends back home (in Brazil) could fully participate. Lauren's warmth, professionalism and dedication to her craft shone through, and we would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a wedding Celebrant who not only marries you, but also becomes a part of your beautiful journey.

    Camila & Glessica 2023

  • My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Lauren. She shared lots of invaluable resources and suggestions with us including how to write our vows and include our kids into the ceremony. She was extremely flexible with meeting times and accommodated last minute changes. One the day, she was funny and had all of the guests engaged. Highly recommend Lauren as a wedding Celebrant.

    Kelly & Sam 2023

  • Nancy and I just wanted to say thank you so much for being an integral part of the success of the day. We’ve had loads of compliments about the tone and fun of the day, and almost all of them included a reference to your performance! You got it perfect! You struck a chord between impropriety and humour like I have never managed (remember, R-rated), and balanced the fun, humour and solemnity of the situation with grace, dignity and a couple of chuckles. It was a pleasure having you as our celebrant – you prompted us timeously, but with a soft touch that didn’t add to the stress, and allowed us to be ourselves in our vows. Your questionnaire led to those last couple of laughs, and lent brevity to the moment following the vows. We even had one remark along the lines of “It was amazing how she captured your love story in so few words”.

    Stuart & Nancy 2023

  • Lauren goes above and beyond. She was a perfect match for us. She was calm, humorous in a witty way, and professional. We are so glad we went with Lauren. We are still glowing from the magical day we had. Thank you for being our celebrant. You were perfect. Everyone had a great time!

    Ally & Rob 2023

  • Lauren crafted a beautiful ceremony that our guests are still commenting on a couple of months later. We loved her humour and she was so calm, collected and organised. She kept us calm knowing she had everything under control. Super easy to deal with through the whole process which was just what we needed. Would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a personalised, fun and humorous but still professional ceremony

    Elle & Jake 2023

  • Myself and my husband cannot recommend Lauren enough. She is kind, caring and so deeply passionate about what she does. We received so much feedback from our guests about how amazing she was and how special she made our ceremony. So beyond grateful for her and so glad we chose her to marry us.

    Chloe & Rhys 2023

  • The ceremony, curated by the incredible Lauren Maree Celebrant, was nothing short of spectacular. Lauren's vibrant personality and amazing sense of humour brought light-heartedness and joy to the occasion. her talent for storytelling and making everyone feel included turned the ceremony into a deeply personal experience for Alex, Kerry and all their guests. One of the most touching elements was the gorgeous ring blessing. Lauren conducted this with such grace and sincerity, adding an extra later of meaning to the exchange of rings. It was a beautiful testament to the couple's love story and the journey they were embarking on together.

  • We met Lauren at the 2022 Gold Coast Wedding Expo. We saw many celebrants that day and as soon as we were on our way out, we went up to her stand. As soon as we approached her, she welcomed us with the biggest smile and joined in with our banter and our “punny” jokes. She was super supportive as we had only just gotten engaged and were feeling a little overwhelmed with everything and didn’t know where to start. We knew as we were walking out that she had to be the one to marry us. Lauren, right from the beginning was our rock through our journey. She would answer all of our questions and had her inbox open ready for us. Lauren went along with our crazy ideas and laughed at our jokes, she checked in with how we were going constantly throughout the planning. She was so full of knowledge and ideas with how to run the day of our wedding. On our wedding day, she first checked in with us and calmed our nerves. She welcomed all our guests and performed a well executed ceremony with many laughs, tears and love. She even had a certificate for our dog Daisy to sign! Lauren stayed with us until our photos were coming to an end and didn’t leave without making sure we were happy and content with no stress. We could talk about how much we recommend Lauren for hours. We honestly can’t thank her enough! Sarah and Jordan xxx

    Sarah & Jordan 2023

  • Lauren was incredible to work with. Very helpful and ran a lovely ceremony on the day. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing a Celebrant in the future.

    Aleisha & Nick 2024

  • Incredible! Honestly, Lauren saved our ceremony. Her experience and passion for her job is just astonishing! Our venue completely dropped the ball and when Lauren arrived, she took charge and made sure everything was ready to go before I walked down the aisle. She is caring and wonderful! She personalises your ceremony to you and just makes it feel so special. What a privilege to include such a beautiful woman on our special day.

    Maddi & Tyson 2024

  • Lauren Maree was recommended to us and we are so glad we used Lauren Maree. So professional yet so personal, we were put at ease and so comfortable from the moment we met. For such a special event we could not recommend Lauren Maree enough.

    Joh & Sue 2023

  • Lauren's attention to detail was incredible. She really got to know us as individuals and as a couple. She was always available and went absolutely above and beyond. We have received so many compliments about our Celebrant from our ceremony. I will be recommending her to everyone!

    Scott & Lucy 2023

  • Thankyou so much for yesterday and all your support. The ceremony was beautiful I just wished we had filmed it. Your words were perfect and so heartfelt... Amazing!

    Jess & Jeremy 2024

  • We came across Lauren’s page from a web search. She was prompt to reply and very reasonably priced. Lauren took the time to really get to know us as a couple. Lauren supported us through the whole process right from day one. She took the time to meet face to face and was always on hand if I had questions or needed to find the right word for my vows. The ceremony which she created for us was deeply personal, hilariously funny and perfectly us. I can’t thank you enough.

    Megs & Paul 2023

  • FREAKING FABULOUS ! 🤍 Lauren played such a big part in our special day and crafted a beautiful and special ceremony for us to remember. She truely went above and beyond for Isaac and I, from thoroughly explaining the necessary legalities and simplifying it for us newbies, to answering all my silly questions & offering her expert advice. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect voice to share our story. Lauren has an uncanny ability for writing an incredibly personalised script which, on the day, portrayed our story to a tee 👌🏽 It was intimate, hilarious and incredibly special for all who were present. Thank you for making the beginning of our married life such a memorable story for us to tell for years to come.

    Amy & Isaac 2023

  • Lauren took the time to find out about us as a couple. making our wedding renewal personal to us. On the day she put us both at ease and kept me topped up with Champagne. She made our 20th wedding anniversary renewal a day we will never forget.

    Leanne & Jason 2023

  • Lauren! We had her marry myself and my now Hubby Tysen on the 23rd of June. She was the coolest to work with over the months leading up to the day, she has a way with words and ended up drumming up our life perfectly! She was very professional as well and all the guests kept telling me how good you were and how good the ceremony was. So thank you to @laurenMaree for bringing the perfection to our day.

    Emily & Tysen 2023
