Choosing a celebrant is so much more than just ticking a legal box – this person sets the tone for your ceremony. Lauren blend’s structure, romance, humour, and personality to her ceremonies that feel authentic, uplifting, and full of value.

Wedding Packages That Fit Your Style

Your wedding should feel like you, which is why Lauren offers a range of packages to match different vibes:

  • Big & Boujee

– Want the full VIP experience? The full shebang, the bells and whistles, the showstopper! Nothing is off-limits with a fully bespoke ceremony and hosting as your MC into the evening to make your wedding the night of nights

  • The Lush

– A fully bespoke ceremony with all the fun, romance, and good feels.

Every moment is designed to be uniquely you, with a side focus on guest

engagement.

  • Mini Lush

– Intimate wedding? No worries. This micro-wedding option is perfect for

smaller gatherings (under 20 guests) while still keeping things special. But because

of her bite size she is only offered Mon-Thurs.

Legals-Only

– For couples who wish to make it official without a full ceremony,

focusing solely on the legal side.

Celebrant & MC: The Ultimate Combo

Ever been to a wedding where the ceremony was beautiful, but then the reception felt a little… disorganised? That won’t happen with Lauren. As both your celebrant and MC, she ensures a seamless transition from saying “I do” to hitting the dance floor. She hypes up the crowd, makes sure speeches and formalities happen on time, and keeps the energy just right all night long. Basically, she’s your wedding-day bestie who also happens to be an expert at making everything flow perfectly. (easyweddings.com.au)

A Ceremony That Feels Like You

She then weaves that magic into a ceremony that’s meaningful, fun, and totally you. No cookie-cutter here – just genuine storytelling, good laughs, and a few loved up moments that’ll have your guests reaching for the tissues and cracking a LOL.
