Let’s be honest, marriage celebrants are the ones who make this whole wedding thing legal. But when it comes to Lisa-Anne, she does way more than tick a box. She’s the one who marries the absolute sh*t out of people - bringing heart, humour, and all the good vibes to every ceremony she creates.

A Little About Lisa-Anne

Lisa-Anne is a Phillip Island local through and through. She’s got a hubby she adores, three fantastic kids, and Buffy the dog to keep life interesting. She’s also the kind of woman who’ll tell you, without hesitation, that the cream always goes on the scone before the jam. (Hotly debated? Sure. Wrong answer? Not according to Lisa-Anne.)

How It All Began

One day, Lisa-Anne woke up with a simple thought: “Why the heck am I not a marriage celebrant?” And just like that, her journey began. Now she pours passion, energy, and authenticity into every ceremony, making sure her couples feel truly seen and celebrated. For her, the planning process should be just as fun and memorable as the wedding itself.

What She Loves Most

Lisa-Anne reckons weddings are the biggest party on earth - even if it’s just two people eloping. She thrives on the uniqueness of every couple, whether they’re throwing a black-tie affair or a barefoot-on-the-beach kind of celebration. The only “style” she cares about? Whatever feels right for you.

Questions & Quirks

The one question she always asks her couples: “Do you actually want to get married?” Because let’s face it, if you’re not in it for the long haul, what’s the point? As for trends, Lisa-Anne’s not buying it. Her philosophy: trends fade, but authenticity is forever. Your style, your way, zero apologies.

Advice for Couples

Wedding planning comes with a lot of “noise” - friends, family, coworkers, and random strangers who suddenly become experts in your big day. Lisa-Anne’s advice? Block it out. Keep asking yourself why at every step, and only do the things that make you feel awesome. If it’s not fun, you’re doing it wrong.

What She Brings to the Party

Whether it’s a big, fancy celebration or an intimate, no-script elopement, Lisa-Anne shows up with her whole heart. She only takes on roles that she feels truly connected to, so when she’s there, you know she’s all in—spirit, energy, and a healthy dose of sparkle included.
