YOUR WEDDING DAY SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT YOU
I’m here to make this your dream day.
Fun, fresh, fab and all your way.
That’s an LVW ceremony.
—
Hear me out…
Does this sound familiar?
—
You arrive at a wedding, start looking for a seat.
Say hi to Nana Judy and sneak past that guy you dated for a few weeks at high school before breaking up with him via a note your best mate handed him at lunchtime (eek!)
All the important people arrive.
Everyone looks smokin’.
The ceremony begins aaaand… you’re on the countdown for it to end so you can get your hands on a sweet, sweet glass of champers.
Yeah? Nah. Not on my watch.
Wedding ceremonies should be FUN! It’s the perfect opportunity to just do you. We’ve got 124 words we need to get through to get you legally hitched and the rest is for you to decide!
I get it. Weddings can be expensive and you’ve probably come here to see how much it’s going to cost to work together.
So I’m not going to muck you around. Here’s the number…
$1,200
And here’s what you get…
An obligation-free initial catch up to see if we’re a match.
A personalised online platform for all your ceremony planning thanks to MyCelebrant.
Catch up to get to know each other and for you to give me all the juicy deets of your love story (in person or online, whatever suits you. Perhaps over a cheeky beveragino?)
A unique script for your ceremony that we’ll edit together via phone or email until you’re no less than utterly stoked with it.
Prep and lodgement of all the legal docs - including organising and paying for your official certificate from BDM - so you have one less thing to worry about.
Help writing your personalised vows if you need it.
A bubbly, welcoming, bright-as-a-button celebrant for your big day that your nana will love and your friends will rave about.
Use of my PA system for your ceremony.
My utmost professionalism in all aspects - privacy, confidentiality, and full adherence to all legal requirements for your marriage.
Just tell me how much you’re gonna set me back, Amy.
Here’s what (just some of) my couples have to say…
Ange + Andy
We truly cannot thank Amy from Lil’ Vow Wow enough for making our wedding ceremony so special.
From our very first meeting, Amy took the time to really listen to us and get to know us. She wanted to understand what mattered most, and she absolutely delivered.
She crafted a ceremony that felt incredibly personal and heartfelt, reflecting our story and the feeling that we had imagined.
Amy managed to strike the perfect balance. Everything felt meaningful and touching, yet also relaxed and informal, exactly the atmosphere we hoped for.
As our MC, she kept everything running smoothly while keeping guests at ease and entertained. Our friends and family are still telling us how memorable the ceremony was, and we know that’s because Amy created a perfect representation of us.
We highly recommend Lil Vow Wow to anyone looking for a caring, genuine and deeply thoughtful celebrant. She made our day more special than we could ever imagine.

Tori + Cass
Amy went above and beyond to make our ceremony perfect.
Meeting with her to share our story felt like catching up with an old friend.
We were absolutely thrilled with how the ceremony turned out, and couldn’t be happier.
We would highly recommend Amy for anyone who is considering her services, you won’t be disappointed!
Emma + Jordan
From the get go, Amy was incredible to work with.
She was warm and just got our vibe; we wanted the day to be fun, relaxing and lighthearted and Amy nailed the brief.
She brought in personalised touches that made the day unique and the ceremony totally us!
We couldn't recommend Amy more.

Kelsey + Jon
Amy from Lil' Vow Wow made our ceremony everything that we wanted!
From initial point of contact with Amy she was nothing but friendly, accessible, helpful & supportive. Her resources made things easy for us to follow & she ensured that we felt well on top of everything.
Amy followed our direction for the ceremony brief, keeping it traditional & short but still personal.
And the way she prepared the ceremony was better than we could have imagined.
Amy's presentation on the day was flawless & made us feel so comfortable.
Thanks again Amy for being apart of our most perfect day!

Feeling pervy? You can read more of my reviews here.
Did we just become best friends?
Loving this vibe? Keep me around and have me as your MC, too!
You’ve probably been to plenty of weddings by now.
And I’d bet my sweet tooshie that at most of them, Uncle Rod or one of the newlyweds’ best mates was the MC for no other reason than ‘oh, they’re pretty funny, hey?’ or ‘they love a chat’.
But here’s the thing. And call me crazy. But the MC’s job isn’t to be a comedian.
They’re actually there to keep everyone on track, make sure your reception runs smoothly, and to keep any questions and concerns miles away from the two of you.
A wedding guest can’t always do that. But I can!
My MC add-on is just $800 for couples who’ve booked their ceremony with me.
So let me do the hard work and let your friends and family enjoy themselves?
I do a limited amount of MC gigs each season so make sure you chat to me about it ASAP!
Hold up, lady.
I got some questions…
-
Oh hey. I’m Amy. And I’m SO glad you’re here.
I was appointed as a Commonwealth Registered Marriage Celebrant in May 2024 and launched LVW shortly after. Here’s what makes me great at my job:
- my friendly, zesty, can-do attitude
- my love of love, people, and bloody good times
- my penchant for perfection and eye for the teensy tiny details
- my desire to please (no, seriously, ask my therapist…)My uni quals are in comms and journalism, and I’ve had a long career in the public service so far. In 2022, my partner and I welcomed our little guy into the world, completing our family and turning our life on its head! After getting back to my day job after parental leave, I spent a lot of time daydreaming about ways to combine all the things I love and am good at to do a little something extra and create some flexibility for future Amy. Celebrancy is my perfect match!
-
Sure! If you’re looking for a legals only wedding or an elopment, I’d love to chat. We can tailor a bespoke package just for you - ooo, fancy!
I can also do funerals (see below), vow renewals, naming ceremonies, graduations, MC gigs. Phew! Anything you think deserves a ceremony, I can make it an event to remember.
-
Well, I wouldn’t say I’m the boss. But the Attorney General says I can get you married because they’ve appointed me as a Commonwealth Registered Marriage Celebrant. To get here, I had to do a Certificate IV in Celebrancy where I learned all about how to create killer ceremonies with you and how to make sure it’s all legally spot on.
I’m also deep in my own wedding planning for late-2025 so I’m living this craziness with you!
-
You betchya! Check out the MC section above for all the deets.
-
Firstly, if you’re here looking for this info, I’m so sorry for your loss. Helping people celebrate the life of someone close to them is a privilege and I’d be honoured to discuss with you how I can help.
-
Ok, here’s what you need to know.
I grew up in country Victoria and now live in Ballarat with my partner, son, and rescue dog and cat. I’m a country gal at heart but also love spending time in the big smoke and travelling abroad.
I love sports. I will talk about AFL and Formula One in particular all day and all night. Let’s not reveal teams until we’ve signed the contract though, ok?
I’ll have:
Coffee - a small soy latte
Bar - a prosecco or a French martini
Choccy block - Cadbury tropical pineappleI’m a big nerd. I love reading novels and baking sweet treats. Can’t cook a real meal to save myself though.
