G'day, I'm Josh Withers. Since 2009, I've been in the business of marrying people – professionally speaking, of course. What started as a bit of a lark has evolved into my life's work and passion. I reckon a marriage ceremony should be the best part of your wedding day. Not the cake (though cake is brilliant), not the first dance (though dancing is ace), but those precious moments when you're actually getting hitched. For me, celebrancy isn't just a job – it's an art form. Every ceremony I create is built from scratch for the couple standing before me. This isn't about recycling the same old script with different names plugged in. It's about crafting something genuine that reflects who you truly are. My approach? Keep it real, keep it relaxed, and for goodness' sake, keep it interesting. Nobody wants to sit through a stuffy, formal affair where they're checking their watch every two minutes. I believe ceremonies should feel like a celebration – warm, inclusive, occasionally funny, and always authentic. Home base is now the gorgeous Huon Valley in Tasmania, but my work takes me everywhere – from local vineyards to Italian coastlines. I've had the privilege of marrying thousands of couples across Australia and around the world. When I'm not helping couples tie the knot, I'm hanging out with my wife Britt (married since September 7, 2012 – best decision ever) and our daughters Luna and Goldie. I genuinely believe that marriage matters – not just for the couple, but for families, communities, and society as a whole. Strong marriages build strong families, which create strong communities, which make for a better world. It might sound a bit idealistic, but I've seen it play out too many times to think otherwise. So if you're after a ceremony that feels like you – not like a photocopied version of someone else's big day – then we might just be a perfect match.
