I’m Precious - Your Yarra Valley celebrant
I've married couples between the sculpted hedges at Coombe, in the autumn light at Zonzo Estate, among the native gardens at Inglewood and on the rolling hills of The Farm.
The Yarra Valley is one of my favourite places to say "I now pronounce you married", and after marrying 800+ humans since 2017, I know how these days run. That includes the drive your guests make from Melbourne and the golden-hour window your photographer will be desperate to catch.
Whether you're planning a 130-guest winery wedding or a weekend escape with your nearest and dearest, I'll write a ceremony that sounds unmistakably like the two of you. Then I'll deliver it with enough heart and humour to make the whole valley feel it.
Winery weddings at the Yarra Valley
The Yarra Valley was made for winery weddings. Long lunches that roll into long dinners, vine rows for your portraits, and estate wine poured the second you're officially married.
My take on a winery ceremony: it should feel like the opening act of the best party you've ever thrown. I keep things warm, funny and moving, so your guests go from "I do" to their first glass of local bubbles still talking about your story.
And if you'd like someone to keep the party running after the ceremony, about half my couples ask me to stay on as their MC. You relax, I handle the timeline, the speeches and the "where's the groom's uncle?" moments.
Elopements, intimate weddings & weekend escapes
Your Yarra Valley wedding can be as big or as tiny as you like. Just the two of you and two witnesses on a hillside? Done. Twenty of your favourite people around one long table? Love it.
Plenty of my couples turn it into a full weekend: welcome drinks on Friday, the wedding on Saturday, a slow recovery brunch on Sunday. However you do it, the ceremony gets the same care. Small guest list, big feelings.
Yarra Valley venues I've married couples at
Zonzo Estate: Angie and Josh brought around 130 guests to the vines in March, with burnt orange styling and that golden autumn light Zonzo is famous for. If you're weighing up a Zonzo wedding, their day is a great place to start. [Link: Read Angie & Josh's Zonzo Estate wedding →]
Coombe Yarra Valley: Veronica and Ryan said their vows in the Italian Garden at Coombe, the former estate of Dame Nellie Melba, with a black-tie wedding party (I matched them, obviously). [Link: Read Veronica & Ryan's Coombe Yarra Valley wedding →]
Inglewood Estate: Georgina and Bastiaan's spring wedding among native florals, with a love story that started on a semester abroad in Oslo and came full circle with a proposal in the same spot. [Link: Read Georgina & Bastiaan's Inglewood Estate wedding →]
The Farm Yarra Valley: Sophie and Meg's cocktail wedding, complete with a live aisle song, confetti cannons and a very good boy named Scout. [Link: Read Sophie & Meg's The Farm Yarra Valley wedding →]

Reviews
“From the moment we engaged her, and continuing now long after the big day, Precious has been the ultimate professional but also feels like a long lost friend. She was engaged, excited and supportive through every step of our wedding journey. Far over and above what we might have expected for our celebrant. Not only did she curate a ceremony that was warm, joyful and very “us”, she took all of the stress out of the day by being our amazing MC as well. We loved her! Guests loved her! No question was too tedious and, if there were hiccups on the day, we don’t know about them because Precious handled them so well!
Precious is devilishly funny and with a smile that enters the room before her, she made us so comfortable through the whole process. The ultimate hypegirl! She was good for style tips; she was great for tips on how to navigate family tensions; she was excellent for tweaking the runsheet so that the guest experience was prioritised. This lady knows what she’s doing, and does it so well! Precious even helped one of our vendors secure staging for their performance! As we said, above and beyond!
If we could do it all over again, we would pick Precious every time.”
