Yarra Valley wedding celebrant - Precious from Precious Celebrations

Hi, I’m Precious

I'm based in Melbourne, and I'll gladly hit the road for a Gippsland wedding. Some of my favourite ceremonies have happened a couple of hours from the city, where the pace slows down, the guest list feels like family and nobody's rushing off to beat the traffic.

After marrying 800+ humans since 2017, I've learnt that regional weddings have their own rhythm. Guests travel in, stay the weekend and settle in properly, and that makes for a ceremony with real warmth. My job is to match it: a ceremony that's personal, funny where you're funny, and full of the moments your people came all this way for.

 Beach weddings on the Gippsland coast

Gippsland's coastline is made for saying "I do" with sand between your toes. Phillip Island, Inverloch, Wilsons Prom, the Lakes: pick your stretch of sand and I'll bring the ceremony.

I've married couples on the Gippsland coast, so I know beach weddings come with their own checklist. There's wind that steals your vows, tides that move your aisle, and permits for some public beaches. We'll plan for all of it, so on the day the only thing you need to think about is not tripping on the sand.

When Gabi and her partner got married on Phillip Island, we did a full run-through the week before, so they walked in calm and ready to enjoy every second.

Barn, winery and country weddings

Head inland and Gippsland turns green and rolling. Some of its best wedding spots are tucked up on ridges and down long gravel drives: restored barns, cellar doors, country estates, and private properties where family history is part of the backdrop.

Chapter Barn in Outtrim is a standout. It's a restored barn on a ridge above South Gippsland farmland, with hardwood beams, big windows and views across to Wilsons Prom and the Bass Coast. It's a blank canvas you style yourself, so your day looks exactly how you want it. It also means more moving parts.

That's where a celebrant who's also an experienced MC pays off. About half my couples ask me to stay on as their MC, so the timeline, speeches and announcements are handled and you get to relax into your own party.

A ceremony written about the two of you

Every ceremony I write starts with a conversation.

How you met, who said "I love you" first, what drives you mad about each other (in a loving way) and what you want your people to feel as you say your vows.

Then I hand your story back to you on the day in words your guests will recognise as completely yours. Funny where you're funny, emotional where it matters, and never cheesy unless you ask for cheese.

About half the weddings I conduct include at least one person who identifies as LGBTQIA+, and every couple gets the same thing from me: a safe, joyful, judgement-free ceremony.

How it works

Say hi.

Complete the enquiry form at the end of this page and I’ll be in touch to have a chat with you and confirm availability.

We’ll meet.

I ask the questions that get to your real story: how you met, what makes you laugh, what you want your guests to feel.

I write it, we run through it.

Your ceremony comes together around your story, and we do a run-through before the day so you know exactly what's coming.

You show up and feel everything.

I take care of the legal paperwork, keep the ceremony moving and make sure the two of you actually get to soak it all in.

  • "Precious' knowledge and expertise in weddings made the best day of our lives even better. She assisted in planning the proceedings of the day, cooperated with the venue and photographer, mingled with our families and still managed to keep us calm and composed. Her bright personality made our ceremony so beautiful and her experience gave us the utmost confidence leading up to the day. I wouldn't pick anyone else over her!"

  • "Precious is the most gifted, warm, devoted celebrant and MC we could’ve asked for. She took the time to get to know us and completely understood our vision for the wedding. She was our rock both before and during the big day. So patient, so loving, and- importantly- so, so much fun."

  • "Precious was beyond brilliant! She perfectly tailored our ceremony to our personalities. It felt so natural and so like us. She matched our vibes in everyway and made a truly special day all the more perfect."

Gippsland wedding FAQs

Absolutely. Some beaches and public spaces need a permit from the local council or land manager, so check that early. I'll help you plan for wind, sound and timing, so your beach ceremony runs smoothly.

Precious to confirm

What are your fees?

Absolutely. About half my couples book me for both, which means one person who knows your story inside out, from the aisle to the dance floor.

What legal paperwork do we need?

You'll need to lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) with me at least one month before your wedding. I'll walk you through it and take care of the legal side on the day.
