PAUL BONADIO - what an absolute cracker! If we could, we’d give him 1,000,000 stars because he really is 1 in a million.

A Stand Up Celebrant and so much more:
- Paul takes the time to get to know you both and your story
- His Love to LOLs ratio for your script is bang on to whatever you guys need - he can definitely do sappy too if that’s what you’re after
- he was so accomodating when we had to re-schedule our event due to the COVID restrictions
- Albeit a super busy celebrant, he is there when you need it, has prompt and transparent communication
- He’s genuinely just an awesome dude

Sav & I got married on the 7th of March this year, and this is one of our favourite photos of the ceremony. His dry wit and humour perfectly represented us and the chilled vibe we were going for.

He also did an awesome job being our MC for the night
- we loved his fun presence and he hosted the Shoe Game like an absolute boss. The only thing we regret is not having a few more shots with him at the end of the night!

Our family and friends also raved on about how amazing Paul is, and clearly love him as much as we do #winning

In my younger days before I ended up in the corporate world, I was in the wedding planning industry. Believe me when I say I’ve been to SO MANY weddings.

If you’re sitting on the fence, hop off - Paul Bonadio, A Stand Up Celebrant - he is THE BEST.

The reviews are all true! Paul was hands-down one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We have received so much fantastic feedback about him. He completely set the tone for our wedding and had our guests snorting with laughter. 10/10.

We could not recommend Paul enough - 10/10!
The script Paul wrote and delivered was amazing, he totally nailed the feel we were after for our day; relaxed, fun and heartfelt.
So many guests came up to us after the ceremony to ask how we knew Paul, how long we'd known him etc.and we had to explain that we had chatted to Paul once in person, once over Zoom and then via email - he just felt like an old friend and described our story in such a way that seemed like we had known him forever!
Paul is a legend and 5 stars just doesn't do him justice!

From the first moment we chattered with Paul, we knew he was the right person to marry us. His attention to detail and sense of humour made us relaxed an able to soak in the atmosphere. Paul was a hit with our guest as well. Paul is worth more than a 5 star rating.

Paul was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Both as celebrant and MC. He told our story perfectly and had our guests cheering and laughing just like we wanted them to.
Paul is the perfect mix of laid back, yet professional. He helped make our night perfect. Thank you Paul!

From the moment Paul’s video landed in my insta feed my husband and I knew we’d found the perfect celebrant. With his perfect storytelling our guests got a glimpse of our life together. Paul was a perfect choice for us and made our day even more special. Look no further Paul is your our recommended choice

If you want your guests to pee their pants and snort out loud with laughter - this is your celebrant. He told our stories so well and with the right amount of mockery and humour (that we requested) so much so that many guests asked if he was our friend. Some have even requested the script so that they can re-live it all over again. Perfect for couples who don’t take themselves too seriously and love a laugh!

As much as the ceremony is great for the bride and groom, we really wanted everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves. We couldn’t be happier with Paul. It was pretty funny that we got asked by a number of guests if he was our friend because of how comfortable he made the whole thing and how much time he put into making it very personalised. Everyone loved it!

You will not find a better celebrant than Paul! Seriously, don’t look anywhere else. He is the BEST!
He is not only an outstanding celebrant on the day (calm and articulate) but during the lead up, his communication is exceptional, his story telling had the perfect balance of sentiment and humour and he’s an overall great guy who made everything so so easy and FUN!
We had so many comments from friends and family about where we had found him and most thought he was a close friend! You will not be disappointed with Paul!
Thank you Paul - you were outstanding and made our ceremony so so special! The day wouldn’t have been the same without you

Paul was absolutely outstanding, from the moment we chose him to be our celebrant right till after the wedding! He was always there on emails whenever we needed him, his script was so perfect for what we where after. He assisted us with our vows. Paul thank you so much from Jason and I! This day wouldn’t have been perfect if it wasn’t for you. You made us feel such at ease during the ceremony guiding us the whole way. And making us laugh and smile with your script. Thank you again for helping us have our perfect day

Paul was amazing to deal with all the way till the wedding. He really got to know us and our guests at the wedding could not stop talking about how much fun they had at the ceremony.

Here's how well Paul fit in at our wedding,

My brother girlfriend asked "did you know Paul already, was he a friend? "

Could not recommend him more highly!

Paul! What a bloody legend! I cannot recommend him more!
From the moment we met Paul we knew we wanted him at our wedding, and what an amazing decision that was! We met for coffee a few months before the wedding and told him our story, and not long after his first draft was sent. He was so easy going with a few things I wanted changed, and his finished speech was incredible. Just enough laughs and love.
Thank you so much Paul for everything!

I honestly can't say enough positive things about Paul and the service he provides.
Through Paul's unique service i got the distinct honor of playing the role of celebrant at their wedding. From the tools he gave me, the tips he offered, and the constant support, i felt capable of helping shape what turned out to be a memorable and special evening.
Thanks, Paul. You're an absolute legend!

The best celebrant to ever exist! Funny, witty and handsome to boot! Haha Paul created a vibe that was second to none and had our guests talking about it for months to come! So unique to our personalities, Paul made our wedding day 'US' and a day we will never forget

Absolutely amazing! Paul was our celebrant and while I might be biased I do think it was the best ceremony I've been to. We didn't want a traditional boring or religious celebrant, we wanted a celebrant who reflects our personality and values and Paul was exactly on point! Paul provided the perfect balance of being sentimental, humorous and entertaining. Paul captured our story perfectly with many of our guests asking if he was a friend of ours. Paul was so easy to work with and he made us feel really comfortable along the entire way. Thank you!

Paul was a brilliant celebrant. Everything admin and logistics was handled in a timely fashion, and perfectly. He absolutely nailed the atmosphere we wanted for our wedding, and the MC job was totally on point. The jokes are funny, the aws are genuine. Stop your search now and if he's available, hire the guy!

Paul is magical - he signed, sealed, delivered everything flawlessly! He set the mood right for our simple, picnicky wedding in the garden. He was very pleasant to talk to, committed, accessible and available. He has a great sense of humour which makes him very easy to elaborate our love story in such a gorgeous writing. Definitely the most memorable moment for Vince and I, thank you Paul for making things very smooth for us:)

Paul perfectly crafted a script of our love story and flawlessly delivered it at the ceremony.it was accurate with the right amount of details.it was fun and light but also very real and hits the heart.

We’re definitely happy that we got Paul to wed us. He was very easy to work with from planning until after the wedding. He’s very professional but the interactions felt personal and it felt like having a friend as your celebrant.
