John Beck, Marriage Celebrant Melbourne Yarra Valley

We couldn't have been happier with John as our celebrant, his professionalism and humour were exactly what we were looking for and he certainly delivered on the day.

John takes the time to clearly walk you through the marriage process, helps with emails and links so you can ensure you work out your vows in your own style, and the overall ceremony is about you, the couple.

We had so many laughs during the ceremony, and John created the fun and engaging atmosphere through his storytelling of our relationship. It was without doubt my favourite part of the day.

I would do it all over again and wouldn't change a thing. John, thank you for making our wedding day an absolute blast, we will be in touch when we decide to renew our vows - assuming you are still available.

John helped make our day a really personalised and special day full of laughter and stories. He is extremely experienced and organised. We couldn't recommend John highly enough.
On the lead up to the wedding we enjoyed our meetings together where he made us feel very comfortable and took the time to get to know us and our story. John kept us in check on the lead up through his online platform and also took care of all the other tasks on the day, such as music, sound equipment, etc to ensure everything ran smoothly.

We were very pleased with John's services - from pre-Wedding planning and communication to delivering a great ceremony on the day. Would definitely recommend.

John was our marriage celebrant and he was amazing! Super organised and met with us multiple times prior to our big day. The whole process was easy and stress free. We loved the story John wrote for us so did the guests- there were plenty of laughs and lots of tears at the ceremony. We don't think our ceremony would have turned out as perfect as it did without John!
Highly recommend John! - Kenny & Wendy.

Our wedding ceremony was everything we hoped and dreamed it would be and that was all thanks to John.

We knew immediately when we met John the first time that he was our celebrant. He made the whole journey fun and was incredibly thorough.

Where I would read on websites, brides throwing out the question "What do I ask my celebrant? " I could easily respond nothing, as John gave every bit of information we could possibly need, in fact he was the one asking us the questions we hadn't thought of:)

Now to the ceremony. John was loved by all of our guests as well as us, for his witty and beautiful take on our own love story. When anyone talks about our wedding, the first thing they say is "Your celebrant was awesome, we loved the ceremony! "

So in saying this, when coming to the difficult decision of choosing a celebrant, make it easy, meet John and you will be set!

John was absolutely wonderful and made our commitment to marry even more enjoyable. Everything was perfect from the first meeting to talk about legalities to the communication leading up to the day and the personalisation of our ceremony. I would highly recommend John to anyone wanting a celebrant to contribute to making their big day even more perfect.

We had John Beck as our celebrant and he was everything we could have imagined and more. I found him online, and booked him to be our celebrant based on his amazing reviews. Once we met him, we knew we had made the right choice. He is very talented and told our story so perfectly. Our guests had the best time and everyone at the ceremony loved being a part of it. If you are looking for a celebrant to make your ceremony fun, relaxed and personal then John Beck is your man.

John Beck did a fantastic job at our wedding. His planning & dedication to making your big day special is truly amazing. A true professional in his field of work!

John is an absolutely sensational celebrant! We found JB around the corner and after meeting him we felt as though we’d known him for ages, he really made the effort to get to know us as a couple. He was everything we had hoped for in a celebrant and we are so glad we met. His organisation, attention to detail and the way he unfolded our story on the day was so special. John makes the ceremony planning process seamless and fun (including the homework!) and the depth of this really shows on the day. He has a way of sharing your story with warmth & just the right amount of laughter & sentiment. His engaging manner reflects the effort he puts in to preparing a ceremony. John braved the heat on a 45 degree day with a smile. We look back with fond memories of our ceremony and will be forever grateful for his part in our day, thanks JB. Mr & Mrs C.

John Beck was awesome from the moment that we met him.
He took the time to really go through the whole wedding process with us while also sending us tips and tricks to really personalise everything. He gave us options on how we could have our ceremony flow, but also allowed us to choose our own options if we preferred. Funny, light hearted & eager. We only ever sat down with one celebrant and that was all we ever needed. Thank you John Beck for making our ceremony us.

John's ability to read the crowd is great; he's jokes transcend everyone's sense of humour, he get's everyone involved and somehow has an innate ability to relax the bride a groom on up to and including the big day.

6/5 Stars (we'd use him again!)

Hire this man. You can thank me later.

John was amazing. He knows his stuff and he has though of everything (even asked what colour suit we wanted him to wear!). He was very responsive and proactive in contacting us and helping prepare for our day. He explained everything and made the entire process so easy. He helped us create the ceremony we wanted. It was an amazing day and picking John as our celebrant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding (Feb 2019). So many of our guests commented on how great the ceremony was and how entertaining John was. Seriously hire this man!

Paul & Dalia

John was fantastic from day one. He was very responsive and very organised which made working with him a breeze. Once you get into the chaos of planning your wedding, chasing vendors and making hundreds of decisions having a celebrant who helps you structure your ceremony and has a well organised plan to make it happen makes all the difference.

If you need a friendly, well organised and accommodating celebrant you can’t go wrong with John.

Great Celebrant! Got to get to know us. Came to meet us as we were so busy with work. John made the process of getting married smooth in October 2017. (finally got time to write a review!) Follows up on us from time to time which is very meaningful. Sends an anniversary card too! Great service and I would recommend him to any of my friends!

John is well presented, kind and all round great person. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a celebrant.

John is a fantastic person and a celebrant too! From the moment we met, Paul & I felt like John was an old friend. We got along as John advised us along the way about what was required to get our ceremony presented exactly the way we wanted it, before we even knew what that was. Dealing with John was really easy - he sent regular emails with helpful tips that we incorporated into our wedding day, and putting the ceremony together was made so easy with John's approach. There were numerous visits to our house from John, where he confirmed what we wanted, and he provided many options and personal touches for us to think about.
On the day, John arrived at the venue early, was set up and ready long before the groom and the guests arrived. Having a speaker system, and John fully mic'ed up made it clear for our guests to hear, but it wasn't too loud either - just right. The ceremony went as we'd planned with John, and we had many compliments from our guests, including tough critic Grandma who said what a lovely, relaxed and loving ceremony it was.
After our wedding day, we were again surprised by John and his kindness, receiving a special package in the mail.
Choose John as your celebrant - he will help to make your wedding day great!

John was the celebrant for our wedding in December 2018. From the first meeting to the big day, John was attentive, prompt in his communication (and so patient when we were slow to respond) and has such a lovely nature about him. He is also so good at what he does and is ever the professional. We had ZERO idea what our roles were as bride/groom and John guided us through the process so effectively. The ceremony went off without a hitch and our guests enjoyed the mix of laughs and heartfelt words that were spoken on the day. We 100% recommend John to any couples looking for a celebrant.

John gave us exactly what we were looking for. A fun and simple ceremony. John was very professional, positive and supportive through the whole process. Thank you John. We shall always remember a very happy fun wedding day!

Thank you, John, for the amazing ceremony you had prepared for us. The owner of Tanglewood Cottage was pretty amazed at the way you organise our wedding. The guests enjoyed the ceremony, and I also thank you for the guidance you had given us on that day.
You are indeed the perfect celebrant for our wedding. We are honoured to be one of the long lists of couples having you as a celebrant on their most important day.
