MARRIED BY THE BEARD

Vibe Maestro.
Love Alchemist.

FROM THE ALTAR TO THE AFTERPARTY

If you're after a celebrant who’ll give your guests a TED Talk on what love really means, sprinkle in some deep, philosophical quotes from writers no one’s ever heard of, and maybe throw in a metaphor about soulmates being like two peas in a cosmic pod…

Well, congrats! You've found the wrong person.

CELEBRANTS WITH A BEARD ARE 300% MORE EFFECTIVE AT MARRYING PEOPLE!*

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?

I’ve been to way too many weddings where you’re stuck listening to someone dribble for over an hour, tossing out the same old lines about love we’ve all heard a million times. “To honour and serve”? “Obey”?! Are we serious here? I can’t even!

That’s not fun. You know what is fun? Getting to know two awesome people, putting my spin on their unique journey, and delivering a ceremony that people will still be talking about long after the hangover has worn off.

I build a proper connection with my couples, bringing the kind of vibe that will cut through your ceremony and hit everyone right in the feels. I’m here to make sure your dream wedding isn’t just about the perfect photo, it's about having a feeling in the moment that you will never, ever forget.

And hey, the whole process? Brainstorming, swapping ideas, figuring out how to make your ceremony yours—that's where the magic happens. No cookie-cutter stuff here. Every couple brings something different to the table, and I’m all about putting those pieces together and creating a freakin' awesome wedding with you. SHALL WE?

WHY THE BEARD IS AN EASY CHOICE

WHAT THEY SAY...

We are so grateful to have had Brenden both officiate our wedding, and also act as our DJ and MC. 

From our first meeting, he made us feel at ease and truly listened to our vision for the day. 

His warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail helped create a beautiful ceremony that reflected our love perfectly. He was so easy to work with, and even acted as a pseudo wedding coordinator at times helping to communicate with our other vendors. 

All of our guests commented on how personal and heartfelt his speech was. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to guide us through such a special moment in our lives. 

Brenden's DJ skills are also unmatched, working with us to curate a specialised playlist that formed the vibes for the night. He had our guests ripping up the dancefloor all night.

Thank you, Brenden, for making our day unforgettable!

Nicole & Luca
