What I offer

Helping people celebrate, commemorate, and honour life’s big moments is both a privilege and an art form.

Whether it is the exuberance of a large wedding, the intimacy of a small one, or the reflection of a funeral, I approach each event with care, commitment, and professionalism.

Each event is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the people at its heart.

Below, you will find an overview of the services I offer, along with pricing and what’s included.

  • A white table with a floral arrangement on top, surrounded by two wooden chairs, set outdoors on grass with a vineyard in the background.

    Legals only

    Looking for a ceremony with no frills? A legals-only marriage is a simple, cheerful and cost-effective way to make it official.

    This option covers just the essentials. No fuss, just the formalities done right.

    Perfect if you're planning a bigger celebration later, eloping on the quiet, or simply want to keep things low-key.

    From $500

  • A couple, dressed in wedding attire, stands on a sandy beach near the water, with ocean waves and a partly cloudy sky in the background.

    Tailored package

    This package is all about creating a tailored ceremony that reflects your story, your values, and your style.

    I will work closely with you to bring your vision to life - from ideation to script-writing to officiation on the big day.

    Perfect for couples who want a ceremony that is personal, considered, and genuinely meaningful.

    From $1,000

  • A white vintage Toyota vehicle with a bundle of green and white leafy branches tied on its hood, slightly dusty, with two large off-road lights mounted at the front, parked outdoors.

    Other ceremonies

    In addition to weddings, I am trained and experienced in officiating a range of ceremonies.

    Whether it is a heartfelt vow renewal, a milestone birthday, or a commemorative funeral service, I am here to help create a ceremony that honours the moment.

    Whatever your occasion, I will ensure it is delivered with the care, respect, and personal attention it deserves.

“From our first meeting, Hugh put us completely at ease. His attention to detail was second to none, and every aspect of the ceremony was carefully planned and beautifully delivered. On the day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to his calm presence and professionalism. We had so many guests tell us how personal and light the ceremony felt, it was exactly what we wanted."

No question was too small, and his thoughtful suggestions helped shape a ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. We felt supported every step of the way. Thank you, Hugh, for making our journey so meaningful."
