About Ceremonies By Mitch
Relaxed, fun and intimate elopements done by a reasonably fun and normal dude.
I think weddings should be a celebration of your love and your relationship. So, I work with couples to develop and deliver a personalised ceremony that is what you guys want, without any of the BS you don’t. That’s my thing.
And, oh yeah, I froth the heck out of elopements. Whether that’s on a mountain top, in your back yard, on a plane, on a boat… you get my drift.Â
And according to the Brides Choice Awards, I must be pretty ok at it, because I took out the 2019 AND 2020 Best Male Marriage Celebrant award for the Illawarra, South Coast and Southern Highland regions. Yeeeehaaa! Back-to-back babbbeeeyy!!! (As you can tell, I’m v humble)
I love to travel, and am open to all sorts of ideas that you and your partner want to make your big day that extra little bit personal.

About Mitch
My name is Mitch and I’m a twenty-something Marriage Celebrant who just gosh dang loves love – and a good party.
I’m also a Civil Engineer in my spare time.
There’s a fun back story into why I took up celebrancy (not celibacy) and why I keep doing it, but the short version is that weddings are fun for me. I don’t do this full time, so I’m in a unique position to properly get to know a couple, and be able to deliver a personalised and fun ceremony, that I am hella excited (and nervous) to be a part of.
My ceremonies aim to be centred entirely around the couple getting married – their story, their struggles and aspirations, what memes they find funny, their pet peeves and what their future together looks like. I work with each couple to make sure the ceremony contains all the trimmings they want to include, and cut out all the BS that they’re not interested in.
Sometimes I wear a cowboy hat.
Ceremonies by Mitch was once a side hustle, but is now a self-funded hobby, so I’m not interested in pumping out generic ceremonies seven days a week. I want to get to know each of the couples I work with. That way, I’m just a cool friend that’s up there with them, and they get to be nice and relaxed and enjoy their wedding day.Â

Approach to Elopements
My approach to elopements is pretty much the same approach I have to weddings – it’s all about the couple.I guess the only difference is that the ceremony speech is written in a way so I’m talking directly to you – not to your guests (and by this point, I’d know you pretty well). I find this makes the elopement so much more personal and relaxed. It’s a subtle change which means it’s not this big pressure-filled day – we’re just three friends up there having a chat.
