Russell, what a wonderful wedding ceremony! Thank you so much for marrying Mike and I, we couldn't have chosen a better celebrant. Your warm humour was well received by everyone and it's exactly what we wanted.



Tartan Weddings  

My Scottish heritage comes through the Strachans from Edinburgh and I know that for those of us with any Scottish blood, we are always keen to put on a kilt. It gives a wedding a real sense of style and tradition. If you want a wedding with a Scottish theme, you will need to plan well ahead and book early because they are becoming increasingly popular and there is sometimes s shortage of kilts to hire. To add to the sense of occasion, you might like to add a Scottish Piper or a Scottish Drummer.

Ships Captain's Wedding  

As a registered Ship Captain, I am permitted to perform wedding ceremonies wearing my Ship Captain uniform. It adds yet another touch of romance to your wedding day. It also ties in well with Sydney’s nautical nature, whether you choose to have your wedding ceremony on land at one of our harbourside parks or gardens or at sea.

Elvis Weddings  

In 1999 I performed the first legal Elvis wedding in Australia and I haven’t looked back. It’s still a very popular theme and the wedding guests I meet often say to me that the Elvis wedding is the ‘best’ or the ‘funniest’ they have ever been to. As one woman said to me recently, ‘I’ve been to three weddings this year, but this makes up for all of them.’
