FROM THE ALTAR
TO THE AFTERPARTY
My name is Brenden, the man behind the Beard. If you're reading this, I am FREAKIN' STOKED for you. Chances are you're planning one of the most epic, and meaningful moments of your life.
As a Celebrant, DJ, MC & Video Guestbook Creator, I collaborate with my couples to create epic ceremonies, pumping dancefloors & timeline magic. To top it off, I can capture the entire mood of your day, your relationship, and the connection you have to your family and friends with my video guestbook!
All seamlessly delivered by yours truly.

There are no cookie-cutter approaches here. I want to know who you are, what makes you both work so well, what are the best and worst moments you have shared.
What makes you both ride the same wave length, why each other? What did you have for dinner last night?
I take the time I spend with you and the invitation you share with me into your relationship, to create one hell of an event for you, that also just happens to be called your wedding
End result? You wake up the next day with a grin, knowing every epic moment you wanted totally went down the way you dreamed of, right down to your celebrant with a beard.
That is what you dreamed of, RIGHT?

CELEBRANT | DJ | MC | VIDEO GUESTBOOKS
When you book me, you don’t just get a celebrant, a DJ, an MC or a video guestbook — you get one person who knows your story, your vibe, and exactly how you want the day to feel. I’m with you through the planning so nothing feels overwhelming, and on the day I’m the familiar face everyone already trusts. From the ceremony to the dancefloor, I keep things running smoothly, keep the mood right, and make sure your wedding feels like you.
We can then slide right into the heart of the cocktail hour for Banter with the Beard, your live video guestbook experience.
I capture friends and family sharing the most genuine, heartfelt, and hilarious stories about you and your relationship—right in the middle of the action. These are the moments you’ll replay over and over—the real, raw reflections from the people who love you most, perfectly complementing the unforgettable night you’ve created.
Before we arrive at the crescendo of the night, where I will bring together club quality sound, lighting and music to your epic dancefloor, creating good vibes as your DJ & MC - right until the last track of the night!

WHO IS
THE BEARD?
My name is Brenden, I am a proud dad to two mini legends, and husband to my amazing wife, Savannah. Oh, and let’s not forget our two puppy overlords, Charlie and Winnie, who's hair we are forever cleaning from the couch.
Once upon a time, I was a national ballroom dancing champ in my teens, and by 21, I was touring the country as a DJ, throwing down at major festivals, clubs, and so many weddings I’ve lost count! Along the way, I picked up a crew of lifelong friends—and my wife, of course.
When I’m not hitching couples and turning dancefloors upside down, you’ll catch me cheering for the Sydney Swans in the winter or sneaking off for family weekends away in the summer.

WHY AM I DOING THIS?
Because I love connecting with people. I’ve always been fascinated by the stories that bring two people together — the inside jokes, the quirks, the ups and downs that make a relationship truly theirs.
Being a celebrant gives me the chance to take all of that and turn it into a ceremony that feels alive, personal, and completely authentic to the couple standing in front of me.
Modern weddings have thrown out the rule book, and that’s what excites me the most. Couples don’t want a copy-paste script or some long, drawn-out tradition just for the sake of it.
They want a ceremony that makes their guests laugh, cry, and definitely say, “That was so them.”
It’s about finding that sweet spot where fun meets meaning — a ceremony that has your personality stamped all over it.
Whether it’s weaving in your story with humour and heart, or making sure the tone flows seamlessly into the epic party that follows, I see every wedding as a chance to create something that won’t just be remembered, but felt.
