Heartfelt, beautiful and engaging ceremonies,
just the way you picture it.

IN 10 YEAR’S TIME…

People may forget what they ate, what decorations were on the table, even the colour of the bridesmaids’ dresses….

But they’ll always remember how they felt, the emotions of the day and the people they spent time with.

Choosing the right celebrant is an important investment, as they’ll set the tone and create the atmosphere of your special day.

I’ll be fully committed to you, your story and creating a positive experience for you.

Alli Watts Celebrant

Hi, I’m Alli & I’d love to marry you…

I’ll strive to make YOUR wedding just as YOU picture it, and personal to YOU. Whether you want a simple ceremony, or all the bells and whistles, I’ll create a wedding experience that is heartfelt, beautiful and engaging.

I also understand the importance of what you’re about to do… I’ve been married to a wonderful partner for 28 years. We have two amazing sons and share a love of family, music, food and dogs. We’ve travelled the world together and love to spend time in one another’s company.

I LOVE weddings. Organising people and life events for me, is a joy. I have a knack for reassuring people and the role of presenter is where I find peace and confidence in my own abilities. I’ve spent years perfecting my craft and take great reward in using my skills, to hone in, on making it all about YOU.

I have 30 years of experience in the wedding industry as an MC, planner and singer. People have told me I’d be a great celebrant, so I thought, WHY NOT?! I think I know plenty about successful weddings and events!

I’ve been singing since I was 14 years old, professionally with my husband since we were 22. We’ve performed at over 1000 weddings, helping couples to have fun and enjoy celebrating with their family and friends, on one of the most important days of their lives.

After 20 years as a primary school teacher, I created a well-being program for primary students, which focussed on fitness, resilience, performance and community. Those 14 years were incredibly rewarding and inspiring, but it’s time for the next adventure.

I hope that when you marry the love of your life, you can enjoy your own shared loves together too.

Stress-free, personal and engaging ceremonies, unique to you.

It’s not what a celebrant does, but how they do it that makes all the difference…

Do you want a celebrant who really ‘gets’ you and takes you through the whole ceremony process with ease, confidence, warmth and fun?

Someone who’s happy for you to be involved in every minute detail and equally happy to do it all for you?

There are so many celebrants to choose from! And they all seem to offer similar services. Should you just choose the cheapest one who is free on your date?  

  • ⚭ A Great Listener - the ceremony is about YOU, not me.

    ⚭ Warm, Enthusiastic and Understanding – as weddings are not only exciting, but often overwhelming.

    ⚭ Highly Organised – I’ll guide you on what needs to happen and when, and commit to it myself.

    ⚭ An Engaging Public Speaker - from intimate gatherings to events with hundreds of people.

    ⚭ Knowledgeable and Experienced – with over 30 years in the wedding industry.

    ⚭ Confident - Taking charge of what needs to be ticked off legally and can be relied upon to help you every step of the way.

    ⚭ A Skilled Communicator - young people and old, shy and exuberant, quiet and loud, talkative and reserved - I’m here to help.

    ⚭ Readily Available – I make myself available when you need me. It’s my career, not a second job or hobby.

    ⚭ Happily Married – and still in love 28 years later!

WHY ENGAGE ME?

Planning a wedding is very exciting and can also be quite overwhelming.

With so many choices to make and people to liaise with, my advice is to choose professional people who have the experience to help and support you.

My vows to you, are to be someone who will:

⚭ be genuinely excited in officiating for you

⚭ invest the time into getting to know you, so I can compose a script that is a true and authentic reflection of you, as individuals and as a couple

⚭ focus on you and the ceremony you’ve always dreamt of, not getting a selfie to promote my business

⚭ encourage you to share your ideas and offer advice, so that together, we can achieve the best outcome

⚭ be confident in officiating for you and effortlessly connect and engage with you, your family and your guests

⚭ provide a tasteful, classy, stress-free experience from start to finish

⚭ unite the people from all the different parts of your life, because the one thing they all have in common, is they love YOU!

⚭ cover the legal stuff /necessities, to make sure your ceremony is valid

  • Alli was 5 stars in every way. She was professional, she listened and created the most perfect ceremony for us. Alli went above and beyond to create a ceremony that met and exceeded our expectations. Alli radiates positivity and approachability and was a source of calm and reassurance when the big day came around. Family and friends were full of compliments about Alli and the running of the ceremony. She made everyone feel so welcome and included. We count our lucky stars we found Alli and feel very lucky to have had her on our team for our special day!

    Georgia & Patrick

  • I was lucky enough to have Alli as an MC and part of a two piece band at our wedding. She went above and beyond and was a huge part of organising our wedding, by giving advice on how it could run smoothly. Her MCing created a fun and engaging atmosphere for our guests and her communication with the venue made everything so easy! Truly went above and beyond.

    Melanie & Tyler

  • We can’t recommend Alli enough. From our first chat on the phone, we knew she would was the right fit for us. She is professional, funny, calming, organised and just an all-round great person. She asked us all the right questions to give us the ceremony we wanted; the way we wanted it & nothing ever seemed too much. Truly a gem of a human and our day wouldn’t have been perfect without her in it.

    Brodie & Corey

  • Thank you so much Alli for making our special day even more amazing than what we expected. Your support from the very beginning of planning the wedding was invaluable. Communicating with you was a breeze and you were a wealth of knowledge and creative ideas to help us make our day suit our personalities. We have received so many comments from our guests on how you delivered such a joyful and fun ceremony. We both believe we are truly blessed, and you will remain forever in our hearts. Thank you!

    Lisa & Luke

  • I believe things happen for a reason and having Alli for our celebrant on our special day was one of them. Our meetings beforehand were done in a relaxed and friendly environment, and all paperwork was completed and lodged in a timely manner. The day arrived and it was perfect in every way. Alli made all our guests feel the love and was most certainly the icing on the cake for our perfect day. Thank you Alli for just being you, and letting your wonderful personality shine though, and making our day so special.

    Miriam & Lex

  • We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant than Alli. She made it incredibly beautiful and personal, capturing our personalities perfectly. She struck the perfect balance between emotional, happy, and funny and made the pre-wedding preparations so easy and organised, taking a huge weight off our shoulders. Her kindness, intuition, and fun spirit made the entire experience truly enjoyable. We highly recommend Alli to anyone looking for a celebrant who will make their day as special as ours!

    Hannah and Kurt

  • Thanks so much for everything! So many of our guests were asking about you and said you did a beautiful job, in which Morgs and I both agree. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony thanks to you!  Any couple would be so lucky to have you!  Thanks so much!

    Kailey & Morgs

  • Tim and I just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to both you and Andrew for everything yesterday! The ceremony was perfect. The whole day was perfect. The party and dancefloor was the best I’ve ever been to-every single guest this morning and last night was raving about how good you guys were and the variety of songs and everything! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. We hope you guys had a great time too!

    Tim & Juleesa

All of our guests commented on how well you handled the crowd and how fun you made the whole day!! We weren’t expecting to stand in front of everyone and have a smooch when we entered the reception but that was actually my favourite part of the night! You made our whole experience so easy and were super helpful whenever we reached out. Thanks so much from the bottom of our hearts!

    Georgie & Mitch
