Olivia Mackinnon: authorised wedding celebrant
Beautiful bespoke ceremonies by the ‘fun celebrant’.
My approach
Not many people realise that wedding ceremonies only have two parts that are legally required. The rest can be completely customised to suit your wedding and your style. This means that your ceremony can be completely unlike any other, if that’s what you desire.
My approach is laid-back, engaging and completely reflective of you as a couple. Detest the lovey dovey stuff? Rather not have a reading? No sweat. We can create 25-30 minutes of unforgettable magic that your guests will gush about, rather than just ‘get through.’
Testimonials
The wedding of Ariana and Tom
Nuumba, NSW
“Olivia could not have carried out the ceremony any better if she tried. It was personal, intimate, heartfelt - everything we could have hoped for and more! She nurtured us step by step through the entire process, provided guidance on our nuptials process, provided guidance on our personal vows and ensured we had everything we needed. Olivia not only carries herself with the utmost integrity as a celebrant but brings warmth and authenticity. Hand on heart we could not recommend her more highly.”
The wedding of Victoria and Yassa
North Ryde, NSW
“Wow where do I begin! Having Olivia be part of our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. Every moment from initial conversations via email, to video chats and the big day she made everything flow so easily. Even in the chaos that is planning a wedding Olivia ensured that everything went smoothly, she was open to last minute additions, provided incredible advice and guidance and assisted us through the whole process. As a couple who are usually quite reserved around new people, it honestly felt like we had known Olivia for years, she is such a professional. I could not recommend her enough and I am so thankful that she was part of the greatest day of our lives.”
The wedding of Brooke and Khalid
Bali, Indonesia
“My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of Olivia marring us in a very intimate ceremony with our closest family and friends! I knew I wanted something very light-hearted and fun and Olivia brought that dream to life very effortlessly and professionally! Olivia exceeded our expectations and let us curate our unique and "very us" ceremony. She worked with us to ensure we got the exact ceremony we wanted and her warm nature and professionalism allowed us to leave all the stresses of the ceremony at the door! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
The wedding of Ashleigh and Sam
Bowral, NSW
“Liv is just the BEST. I can’t even put into words how happy we were with our ceremony. Honestly, I thought it would be my least favourite part because I wasn’t sure how I’d feel saying my vows in front of so many of our friends and family, but Liv completely changed that for me.
So many of our guests told us how incredible the ceremony was and how great Liv was—her energy, her warmth, her smile! She truly knows how to engage a crowd, balancing professionalism with such friendliness.
As soon as it was over, I wanted to do it all over again. Thank you, Liv, for making our day so special. You made the whole process seamless, provided a great template for our vows, and ensured everything was simply exceptional.”
