Romance,Laughs and a Legally Binding Good Time!

Fun & Relaxed Marriage Celebrant Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Northern NSW & Mid North Coast

Your wedding deserves more than some bloke rattling off legal jargon like he’s delivering a budget statement to an empty room.

You want someone who brings the laughs, the love, and all the right kind of emotions – not the kind that makes your nan check her watch, whisper “how much longer?” and contemplate a sneaky getaway.

I’m Glenn Ritchie – full-time Marriage Celebrant, MC, DJ – and boring isn’t even in my vocabulary. I create ceremonies that are relaxed, heartfelt, and actually fun – no copy-paste scripts or robotic speeches here.

Whether you’re after a short, sweet “let’s get it done” moment or a full-blown ceremony with all the laughs, love, and a few happy tears – I’m your guy.

We’ll have your guests laughing, tearing up, and actually enjoying the whole thing – not just counting down to the open bar.

Because your wedding isn’t just a legal box to tick – it’s a celebration – and I’ll make sure everyone’s part of it from the get-go.

No awkward pauses. No monotone mumbling. Just great storytelling, good vibes, and a ceremony you’ll genuinely love.

Let’s Be Honest!

Glenn Ritchie – Marriage Celebrant · MC · DJ

I've been behind the mic for over a decade – from hyping up crowds as a DJ and MC to marrying hundreds of couples as a celebrant across South East Queensland. What started as a love for music and entertaining quickly grew into a passion for helping people celebrate life’s biggest moments.

My background is a mix of live events, weddings, and all the technical bits that make everything run smoothly. I bring not just a voice and a sense of humour to your day, but real experience, pro gear, and a calm presence you can count on when the nerves kick in (for you, not me).

I’m not here to put on a performance. I’m here to deliver a ceremony that feels like you. Whether it’s romantic, cheeky, or somewhere in between, I work with you to get the vibe right and make the day memorable for all the right reasons.

And when the confetti settles, I can absolutely keep things going as your MC and DJ if you're after a full package. But if you've got other plans for the reception, no worries at all – I'm just as happy to be your celebrant and help you kick off the day in style.

We’re Only Halfway Through The Good Stuff…

That amazing woman holding her Canons is my beautiful wife Jennifer – and she just so happens to be an award winning wedding photographer.

Together we make a pretty incredible team.

While I’m up the front delivering ceremonies that are relaxed, heartfelt and never boring, Jen is behind the lens capturing all the magic (and the occasional tear or giggle) as it unfolds. Her photography is all about genuine moments, real emotions and timeless images that tell your story exactly as it felt.

We're not just a Celebrant and Photographer who happen to work together. We're a husband and wife duo who live and breathe weddings. Our energy is real, our communication is seamless and when we’re both on board for your day, you can bet it’s going to run smoother than a well rehearsed first dance.

Whether you book us together or individually, you’ll get the same dedication, laughs and love we bring to every celebration.
