* NEW TREND ALERT *

Getting freaking tattoo'd on your wedding day!

How I just love everything about what Sarah and Charlie created for their wedding day.

They truly made it theirs, and you should, too.

It was a rock n' roll ceremony at
followed by canapes and the newlywed speech, then riding off into the sunset in their for a private first dance in Kuitpo forest and then forever tatts.

F**k yeah! Also, If you organise a tattooist to your wedding, I'll get tattoo'd with you.

Happy 1st anniversary to Teegan and Sam, who shared in the most delightful love filled party!

They left these kind words:

"Matthew is the most responsive, caring, easy-going celebrant & MC out there and is sure to entertain all your guests. We had so many of ours coming up to us and commenting on how great he was and asking how long we’ve known Matthew for and were shocked to find out we didn’t know him before.

This is just a testament to how wonderful he is at his job and all the effort he puts into making your day so personalised and perfectly you."

REVIEW | SARAH + CHARLIE

"If you’re getting married, you need Matthew Vercoe on your team! We first saw Matthew in action at a friend’s wedding, and choosing to work with him for our own was easily one of the best decisions we made.
Where do we even begin? Matthew isn’t just an exceptional celebrant and MC—he’s also an incredible listener, organiser, and all-around 20/10 human being. Wedding planning can be stressful even at the best of times, but with Matthew by our side, my husband and I always felt calm and confident that everything would come together.
He has an amazing ability to problem-solve and put things in perspective with such ease and grace. He was always one step ahead of us, handling every question (and we had lots) with patience and care. His calm presence on the day of the wedding helped everything flow smoothly—from guiding us through our own nerves to orchestrating our bridal party like a pro.
Matthew truly went above and beyond. He supported us through writing our vows, making sure they complemented one another beautifully. He also encouraged us to have fun with our ceremony, which allowed us to add in a few playful touches that felt so personal and us. We’ll be recommending Matthew to everyone we know who’s getting married. He’s hands-down the best celebrant out there—do yourself a favour and book him!"

Sarah and Charlie, you legends! It was so cool to be all in on Sarah and Charlie's wedding planning. They wanted a killer ceremony, canapes, and then to go get tattoos as a married couple. I love the idea and cheered them on to do it all their way!

I always pride myself on being in your corner. If you're comfortable, we're going to have a good time!

Well, here's a stack of conversation starters for you to discuss over a bottle of red and a notepad:

🎉 Which side would you like to be positioned for our ceremony?

🎉 Do we want our pets involved?

Wondering where your celebrant will actually stand during your ceremony? Let’s break it down.

Couples — this is one question you should absolutely ask potential celebrants! It matters. A celebrant’s movements aren’t random—they’re strategic, respectful, and intentionally timed to keep the focus on YOU.

Swipe through (thanks to for the gorgeous visuals from Ben & Caitlin’s wedding!) to see how I position myself during different ceremony moments:

Pre-ceremony check‑in: Here to calm nerves and share a quick chat before the big moment.

Entrance time: All eyes are on you—just you.

Welcome & greetings: I stand to the side as you greet your partner and party—less distraction, more connection.

Once the stories roll out: I step aside so you and your partner can relax and own the moment.

Just you and your crew: Totally your spotlight.

Photographer’s dream: I hang back so your natural expressions are captured—celebrant-free frame!

Off to the side: Low profile, high impact.

Vow time: Optional — I’ll stand beside you if you’d like extra support or holding the mic.

Ring bearer moment: I cue from the side, so you can make a moment with your ring holder.

Ring exchange fun: You get the spotlight and hopefully a few giggles too.

The kiss: I announce out of the shot, then cue the magic.

Certificate signing: I step out after pointing each time so you can enjoy that signature with Mum.

Confetti pop: I announce from behind your photographer—so your photographer gets that perfect 'popping' moment, not me.

Why does this positioning matter?

Standing slightly to the side helps couples hold hands during vows, maintains connection, and keeps the energy authentic—rather than you turning inward and away from your guests. I tailor placement based on your venue, vibe, and energy ensuring I'm present when needed but a ghost when not.

Here's your reminder that you don't have to have a wedding party or your wedding party doesn't need to be positioned next to you during your ceremony.

I was reminded this week by Keshia and Liam, who opted to have their wedding parties positioned beside them for the entrance, then they sat down just before we started the storytelling. The wedding party were able to see their beautiful friends and were comfortable throughout the ceremony.

Have you considered having no assigned wedding party or seating them during the ceremony?

Pre ceremony dap up's and last minute check ins are, for me, an essential part of your wedding day.

Kate and Charlie chose to arrive separately pre ceremony and were a little nervous. It's my job to the calming presence you didn't know you needed, to provide direction and get you amped for the fun that is about to happen.

James captured these moments beautifully he is that good, I had no idea he was there until I checked this gallery.

As your celebrant, I'm your number 1 cheerleader and chaos organiser. Want to chat about how I can bring the fun to your wedding? Jump into the contact form via the link in my bio. Peak dates are still available this year.

KATE + CHARLIE (& MOOSE)

Kate and Charlie's ceremony was just about as good as they come.

From meeting on Tinder and the nerves of a first date in the city, bonding over a toastie and the big bash cricket, to oversharing about their travels and then a sneaky engagement plan that involved Kate's two bridesmaids, who admitted to the plan during the ceremony right up to their pre ceremony nerves, the overwhelming story was of how much these two just absolutely adore each other.

My favourite thing about your ceremony is the emotion that bubbles away. This could be you, your partner, family, or just those that you have known for a long (or short time). From the moment they sighted each other, through me sharing their favourite things about each other and then the vows, it was a beautiful mix of tears and cheers. Thanks for being you, Kate, and Charlie.

And how can it be a bad time with flower legends to start the day, and your dog brings the rings straight after an aisle entrance.

This truly was one of the great days. Congratulations, K + C.
