BRIONY
BRISBANE + SURROUNDS
Meet Briony!
A 30-something, chocolate-loving, diary-planning, list-making, cake-baking, marriage-officiating wedding celebrant based on Brisbane’s bayside.
Alongside being a kickass celebrant and MC, Briony’s professional background is in aviation and media marketing and event management. But the part that probably made her hitch her cart to the wedding wagon is her performer side. Briony has been a performer, presenter and public speaker since she can remember. Being a wedding celebrant means she gets to scratch that performer itch, but in truth, she digs the whole box and dice. Celebrancy combines so much of what she loves into a unique role where she gets to meet incredible people (like you), hear (and tell) your story, and be part of one of the best days of your life!
Briony spends a lot of time getting to know her couples so she can deliver a ceremony you love; one that’s meaningful, enjoyable, and accurately reflects you as a couple. Your ceremony can be as long or as short – as detailed or as simple – as funny, as mushy, as YOU as you want it to be. But Briony truly believes it should be a highlight of your wedding day, rather than the part you look forward to being over so you can get on with a drink and a boogie (though that part’s pretty great too!)
There is nothing more important in this gig than making a connection and Briony prides herself on her storytelling skills and her ability to connect with an audience (your guests) through custom-crafted ceremonies that capture the essence of you as a couple… as well as legally getting you married!
Briony is an old-hand at this marriage-making biz. She been at it for more than seven years so it’s fair to say, you are in some of the best, most experienced hands when you book her as your celebrant.
And just in case you fall in love with her (it’s a given), and simply can’t fathom the idea of her leaving directly after your ceremony, don’t stress! Briony is also a fabulous MC and would love to stay on to host your reception. Let your guests relax while she steers your wedding party into the night and makes sure it’s remembered for all the right reasons.

TESTIMONIALS
“Where do I start… Briony made our ceremony more amazing than we could have imagined. She is a wordsmith and told the story of our relationship more beautifully than we could have dreamt of. We decided to keep the ceremony a surprise until the day and we’re so glad that we did!! For us, choosing our celebrant was the most important decision for our wedding day, as we really felt strongly about having someone who understood us and what we wanted to achieve with our ceremony. We definitely made the right decision. Briony spent significant time with us getting to know us as a couple and our story, and made us feel confident and comfortable around her from the first moment we met her. She also guided us through a postponement and made sure she was available for our revised date. We would highly recommend her and already have!!”

“If you’re thinking about booking Briony as your celebrant, do it now! It will be one of the best decisions you make when planning your wedding. Briony was absolutely delightful to deal with start to finish, from zoom calls throughout COVID lockdowns talking us through the process and finding out more about us and “our story”, to facilitating the most beautiful ceremony – I cannot fault Briony! Not only is she incredibly organised and efficient, she also made us feel so at ease and we became more and more excited about our wedding ceremony each time we spoke to her. She even helped my husband and I to finesse our vows, meaning that we heard them for the first time when we recited them on our wedding day – a moment I will always cherish. Thank you, thank you, thank you Briony! Our day was made all the more special by you.”

“Book Briony! She’s your wedding celebrant fairy godmother. We were absolutely blown away from start to finish. She will think of everything when you don’t really know where to start. The way she wrote our love story blew us and all our guests away. Professional, personal and super organised.”
