Sam Lavery : The Celebrant

We are so happy to choose Sam as our celebrant. He is professional, friendly and punctual person. Highly recommended. 5/5!

When we went searching for a celebrant that matched our personality, we came across Sam and looked no further!
From the get go he was just an all round great guy who made us feel so comfortable in his presence. Sam truly takes pride in what he does to ensure that couples have the most amazing experience that is tailored to exactly what the couple is all about.
Sam made our ceremony magical, with just the right touch of seriousness and humour, he truly represented us as a couple in the most incredible way.
Since our wedding so many people have commented on how brilliant our celebrant was on the day and how he truly made our ceremony perfect.
Thank you Sam for sharing in our special day and for making us feel so calm in the lead up and so happy in our moment.
Love your work!

Sam delivered an extremely personalised ceremony. There was no generic cut and paste - all tailored to us and our story.
Sam struck simply the best possible balance between humour and heart. We received numerous comments from our guests regarding how much they enjoyed Sams delivery and ceremony.
My wife and I cannot thank him enough.

From the very first moment we met Sam, there was no doubt in our mind that he was the guy to marry us! His ceremony builder was super easy to use and navigate and the end product was amazing. Sam helped us build our vows and provided so much support.
On the actual day of the wedding, he was funny and charming and we had so many guests ask where we knew him from as they thought he was an old friend! Thank you so much for supporting us on our big day, everyone do yourself a favour and book Sam, he is the best!

Sam was amazing so funny and light hearted. He made the whole process so smooth and less stressful. Our ceremony was entertaining, funny and charming. All of our guests were surprised to hear we haven't known him for years!

Sam was absolutely amazing at our wedding (and in the lead up!) He made everything so clear and straight forward ahead of the day, it meant the legalities were not something we had to add to our list of things to sort out - we knew it was covered! Then on the day - where do we begin! He was fantastic! Had the perfect balance humour and sentiment to reflect our love story beautifully with family and friends. I knew when my now husband was reading the drafted ceremony script and I could hear him chuckling away that Sam had nailed our sense of humour and was the perfect fit to our day. All speeches and guest interactions were personal about us, so our guests assumed we’d known him for years! Sam was also our MC, so we loved having his involvement and style throughout the whole day - added an extra personal / familiar touch into the evening for everyone. 100% recommend that you have to have Sam officiate your big day!

If you're looking for a celebrant, Sam is your Man!

Sam was supportive, and informative right from the very beginning and made the whole journey of actually getting married fun and entertaining! We had Sam as our wedding celebrant as well as our MC, and we had so many compliments from our friends and family about how funny and well spoken he was. Because of the effort Sam put in getting to know us and the ease of his delivery, some of our friends and family thought that Sam was a friend of ours (though, it does feel like it now).

He also really helped to set the tone of the wedding, which we wanted to be fun and relaxing for us and all our guests. He was really good on the day in helping us slow down and soak it all in, which looking back on it, was so important given how quick the day went!

Couldn't recommend him more highly! Thank you Sam! Wishing you a lifetime of fun and amazing weddings ahead of you!

From start to finish Sam was amazing! He was relaxed yet assuring and was absolutely hilarious!

When he sent through our script we were both in fits of laughter and tears of joy. He perfectly captured us and set the tone for the rest of our wedding!

Sam made us both feel incredibly comfortable through the whole process. We highly recommend him! He even checked our colour palette so he knew what to wear and stood off to the side for majority of the ceremony to ensure better photos!

At the conclusion of our ceremony, we had a number of guests praise Sam for sharing our story in a hilarious yet genuine way. Four of our guests have asked for his contact details as once they experienced Sam they couldn’t imagine any other celebrant for their special day either!

Thank you Sam!

We had a blast with Sam. We met online throughout covid and had a very easy line of communication in the months leading up to our wedding day. He was super helpful with any questions and gave us all the deets we needed to make our day as smooth as possible. Funny, chilled, super professional.highly recommend.

Sam was a fantastic celebrant for our day. He was on time, well dressed and ready for show! His delivery was clear, his expression and public speaking skills are at a high. He captured my partner and I in his script extremely well!

All our guests were in awe on how well his delivery about us was!

Cannot recommend a better person! Sam was easy and reliable to work with exactly what you want on such an important special day!

Thanks Sam for everything

Sam, you were truly exceptional. We are still buzzing! The role of the celebrant was really important to us. We were after a particular vibe - and this person needed to set the bench mark for what was going to be an absolutely incredible and fun filled evening. YOU NAILED IT. You are confident, I love that you stood off to the side to make sure you could engage the crowd, you had the perfect amount of laughs balanced with the perfect amount of sentiment. Everyone thought you were our friend and asked why you left - ha ha! We had SO many compliments about how amazing our ceremony was - and a few of the ladies commented that you were easy on the eye. We would choose you every day of the week.

Thanks Sam!

Sam was our celebrant for our wedding day a few weeks ago. The whole day ran smoothly and his ceremony speech was amazing and had the whole audience laughing. He was easy to communicate with before the wedding and arranged all of the nitty gritty paperwork so that we didn't have an extra thing to worry about beforehand. Would recommend!

Sam was absolutely brilliant for our ceremony. He kept things a perfect balance of humour, story telling and romantic. We have had so many guests comment on how enjoyable our ceremony was. For us Sam ticked every box and on the day absolutely nailed it. In the lead up and post wedding Sam also did all of the important bits like lodging the paperwork and we never once had to ask for an update. If you’re looking for someone that makes you feel at ease, takes the time to understand you as a couple and the best sense of humour, Sam is definitely your guy!

Sam was spectacular. Perfect amount of fun for our ceremony and everyone commented on how wonderful he was. He really made us feel comfortable. Definitely would recommend!

My husband and I feel incredibly grateful to have had Sam as our celebrant. Sam was very attentive to our wishes and desires and also incredibly sympathetic to our situation (COVID and living interstate means planning a wedding was a fun time but also a risk), we knew from our first meeting with Sam that we wanted him to be the one to tell our story. And it certainly helped that Sam was a big Melbourne Demons fan like my husband, it really sealed the deal! It pained us when it came around to postponing in the middle of 2021 and I knew that 2022 was already filling up to be an absolute banger of a wedding season, however Sam took our postponed wedding with a grin, as well as a 'she'll be right' attitude, and was still able to slot us in on our next available date! Keeping in touch with Sam was an absolute breeze even though some weeks he was officiating five or more weddings, it was like we were no trouble at all. He's an absolute rock star - Sam took the time out a week before Christmas to have some drinks and banter while we were in town, and was just everything I personally needed in a celebrant. Having Sam meet me as I arrived on my wedding day to help me out of the car and give me a big reassuring hug while I was in the middle of a big ugly cry felt life changing! He just grinned and told me that everything was going to be okay like the absolute pro he is. Our guests raved about Sam afterwards and thought that he was simply hilarious.but that's because he is! The way Sam works a crowd is a gift, and he's certainly left a lasting impression on my husband and I. It's sad knowing that our wedding is over and Sam won't officiate our wedding ever again, however perhaps I can convince my husband for a yearly vow renewal just so we can get Sam back. I could not recommend Sam's services enough, he was a blast!
TL: DR - make sure Sam Lavery is your celebrant, you will have no regrets.

Sam. Amazing! Thank you so much for making our day so fantastic. Lots of laughs, clear and fun delivery and an all round pleasure to work with! I had many comments on the night from our friends and family saying that our ceremony was the best they’ve been to, not too long, very entertaining and it’s thanks to you!

Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. He was always prompt to communicate with when planning our ceremony, and willing to work with us so that we could get all the elements just right. Thanks so much again!

Sam was our celebrant and MC for our wedding day. From the moment we met up with him in person, we knew we had a quality guy on our hands.
He was easy to work with and always available if we needed clarity on anything.
He kept our guests thoroughly entertained at our ceremony and always made a point of checking in with us throughout the day.
He was honestly like one of the family on our big day.
Thanks Sam for being apart of our lovely day. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. - Michael & Natalie

Sam was an awesome MC and celebrant! He had a reassuring and calm demeanour which really eased any nerves we had leading up to the day. Our guests complemented him on his professionalism and ability to balance MC-ing without taking attention away from the bride and groom.

My husband and I feel so incredibly lucky that we found found Sam. Sam lit up our wedding and told our stories better than we ever have. He made our ceremony personal and intimate, but laced with the best kind of humour. He was dedicated to understanding us, and what we wanted from our wedding, and truly went above and beyond. Even remembering the tiniest details. Many of our guests mistook Sam for an old friend, and honestly that's how talking to Sam felt! There aren't enough words to say how grateful we are, and we would recommend Sam to anyone.
