Your Day, Your Way.

Your Day, Your Way.

Teresa Hetherington

Registered Marriage Celebrant in Melbourne


Say I Do, Say Goodbye or Say Welcome to new life, your way.

Hello! My name is Teresa and I’m a registered wedding celebrant in Melbourne. I’m lucky enough to have been married for 30 years. Marriage is something I strongly believe in, and I was thrilled when the Australian law finally changed on December 9th 2017 to allow marriage equality – because everyone deserves a chance at happiness.

As a marriage celebrant, I believe everyone has a story – each unique in its own way.  That’s why I will ensure your ceremony is as unique as your story.  Whilst I’m a celebrant – it’s never about me.  It is only ever about you, and I will work with you to help bring your moment to life. Your day, your way!

My Services

No matter the occasion or ceremony, I will bring the same level of respect, consideration and thoughtfulness to you and your wishes. 

  • No matter your background, every adult now has the legal right to marry in Australia. Just as it should be. Your wedding day is meant to be about you and your loving partner, whoever you are, celebrating your commitment and adoration of one another.

    I am deeply empathetic to the struggles faced by the LGBTQI+ community and am thrilled to be able to offer my services as a gay wedding celebrant. As a long-time advocate for marriage equality, I know how monumental this day is for same-sex couples and will do everything in my power to ensure the ceremony runs exactly as you envisioned.

  • Weddings today can look very different to traditions of the past, which is how it should be. Your day should be a physical embodiment of you and your partner. I will help you make your ceremony come true just as you envisioned, because at the end of the day, it isn’t about me – it’s about you!

  • Let’s do it again! Your wedding day marked a momentous occasion, so why not celebrate it again by renewing your vows? I’ll work with you to create something memorable to mark this special milestone.

  • All the bells and whistles of your wedding ceremony, just without the legal component, designed to fit your relationship perfectly.

  • The passing of a loved one is highly emotional and there is no greater honour than supporting a family in grief. I will work gently with you to help tell your loved one’s story in a respectful, memorable and appropriate way.

  • Many people are moving away from traditional, religious baptisms and christenings but still want to mark the occasion of their precious child’s birth. We can work together to create a beautiful naming ceremony for your special new arrival.

  • I know public speaking isn’t for everyone. As a professional event host and speaker, I can keep things organised and running smoothly as your MC, allowing you to relax with your guests.
