I Do with Darren

I Do with Darren Hello, lovers. I’m Darren, a Melbourne/Naarm-based marriage celebrant with a self-proclaimed knack for storytelling and bringing people together. Hi lovers.

I’m about celebrating all love for all couples. I’m a Melbourne/Naarm-based marriage celebrant with a self-proclaimed knack for storytelling and bringing people together. My journey into the world of celebrancy began when my best friend asked me to officiate her wedding in India back in 2023. The experience of sharing their story and witnessing their love was incredible. It felt like the perfect b

lend of my passions for storytelling and public speaking – a match made in... well, marriage! Something you’ll hear me say a lot - I believe everyone deserves the chance to declare their love - no matter who they love. I’m so thankful to the LGBTIQ+ community and allies who made same-sex marriage a reality in Australia. As someone committed to equality and inclusion, I’ve worked hard in my day job to create policies that make a real difference in the lives of LGBTIQ+ people.

…And I have some news! I’m engaged too (go us!), I can’t wait to marry my fiance Sean soon. When I’m not busy marrying fabulous couples or planning our wedding, you’ll find me in the kitchen, channeling my Italian mum and Nonna. My claim to fame is that Nigella Lawson replied to my photo of her Lasange… I’ve still not recovered. Food is my love language – my mini-labradoodle puppy, who joined our family this year, would agree. She’s always underfoot, hoping for a morsel to fall in to her mouth (I’m a messy cook). If you’re looking for a marriage celebrant who’s warm, organised and knows how to make people laugh, you’ve found your person. I’m here to craft a ceremony that’s uniquely yours, one that your guests will rave about long after the big day. Ready to say “I Do”, with Darren?

First wedding for 2026! Gold jacket is out and my calendar is filling faster than your dance floor after speeches. If you’d like to greet this cheesy grin at the end of the aisle (and all our catch ups), get in touch! Love Darren x

More than 30,000 same-sex couples have tied the knot in Australia since it became legal in December 2017.

That’s a lot of happy tears, a few awkward uncles, and at least one drag queen at 14% of those receptions (unverified, but I’m rolling with it).

Love didn’t just win. It’s flourishing 🏳️‍🌈

♥️ Cassie & Matt ♥️

High school lovers who found their way back to each other.

A pleasure to marry these two at an intimate ceremony in the Yarra Valley, surrounded by close family and friends (and their baby boy in the most adorable outfit to match dad!).

Micro ceremonies are a wonderful way to take in each moment of marriage and cherish the intimacy 💕

SO LOVELY getting to know and marry Cassie & Matt!
