Without a celebrant it’s just a party
Hey, I’m just Lauren!
I have been a full-time marriage celebrant & professional MC for 6 years & cap my weddings at 110 per year and absolutely love what I do.
I’m a proud mum of two little ones, & in my downtime you’ll find me either being a hermit at home or enjoying a boujee lunch & cocktails with the girls. (look good, feel good vibes)
I am also the founder of Wedding Collective Gold Coast which hosts the Gold Coast largest wedding open days. WCGC is now in the proud hands of the Ivy & Bleu team and I highly recommend you check out their instagram for events & the best wedding vendors on the Gold Coast.
I've also been expanding into auctioneering, combining my love of public speaking with my ability to command the energy of a room. After recently obtaining my auctioneer licence, I'll be growing this side of my business throughout 2026 and into 2027.
But why, Lauren?
I didn't become a celebrant because I love love. I became a celebrant because I love people.
Sure, weddings are beautiful... but I genuinely love getting to know people, hearing their stories, standing in front of a crowd, and creating a moment that everyone remembers. Throw in wearing a fabulous outfit a few times a week, and honestly, it's a pretty incredible career.
Six years in, I still feel it. I still get goosebumps when you read your vows. I still love watching a room go from laughter to happy tears in a matter of minutes. There is so much soul in what I do, and I never take for granted that couples trust me with one of the biggest moments of their lives.
Your safe person
I hold space for you. I want you to be fully present in your moment, and I'm here to support you through every emotion along the way. My brides often happy cry with me, and I absolutely love it. Being your celebrant means being your safe person and guiding you into this next chapter of your life & it is an absolute honour.
I'm incredibly organised, but I'm also here to have fun. This career is soul-led for me, and I truly believe that when I'm authentic, relaxed and enjoying myself, that energy naturally flows into your ceremony.
