Sam Lavery : The Celebrant

Sam was an outstanding celebrant and I would absolutely recommend him.
My friends said he was hilarious, and my Mum said he was the best celebrant she's ever seen.
He was professional, flexible, easy to work with, warm and friendly.
Honestly couldn't have asked for more!

We would highly recommend Sam as a celebrant! Not only was he extremely organised & professional, he was also great with communication leading up to our big day! He was very funny and wrote a beautiful script that truely reflected our own feelings about each other as well as being very funny! He also MC’d our reception and made sure the evening ran smoothly, was also very adaptable when we decided to make a few last minute changes! We had an absolute blast with Sam and can’t speak more highly of him! Thank you Sam for helping us have the best day!

We had Sam as our celebrant and M. C.this weekend and he was just incredible.
He had both us and our guests laughing and crying throughout the ceremony and reception and kept mine and now husbands nerves at bay beforehand.
He is extremely organised, professional and such a nice guy that made organising our wedding easy and stress free.
We had so many compliments from guests about our ceremony and reception.and how he managed to make our perfect day that more special.
Thank you so much Sam, you absolute legend ️

Sam is an absolute wizard! Cannot recommend highly enough. Sam came in later to our wedding plans after we rescheduled it (and moved it from NZ to regional Vic) - then held on with us while we rescheduled it again during the pandemic. Sam was hilarious, engaging and his humour was a fantastic icebreaker for us, when we were quite nervous. The guests truly were laughing the entire time, as we were. Thanks so much Sam!

Sam absolutely blew us away with how professional, calm and easy going he was from the very start until the end of our wedding. He is an absolute joy to work with and the ceremony he wrote for us was so beautiful, personal and hilarious all in one! Our friends and family could not stop raving about how fantastic the ceremony was - all thanks to Sam. You will not regret having Sam as your celebrant, I can guarantee it! Thank you so much Sam, Ryan and I cannot thank you enough!

As our celebrant and emcee, Sam was a pleasure to work with, from our first meeting right down to the ceremony and the reception. We and our guests loved how he blended wit with a touch of sentimentality – just the right amount, at just the right time. This put us at ease, never felt forced, and brought our guests along for the ride. He offered suggestions on the flow of our ceremony and worked with us to make it ‘our own’. We had to postpone our wedding because of COVID, then make some last-minute adjustments, and he took it all in his stride. Sam knows what he’s doing and is great at what he does, and we got lots of compliments from guests about his style. We’d absolutely recommend Sam to any couple looking for a modern, light-hearted (but meaningful) ceremony and reception.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us celebrate our love under the dome at the State Library Victoria!

Sam was the most amazing celebrant! From the moment I read his website I knew he was the guy we wanted to marry us! He did not disappoint! Covid restrictions made it tricky to meet Sam in person but his communication was fantastic throughout and he was very accommodating in regards to having to change dates thanks to lockdowns!
The ceremony he conducted was just perfect! He was able to share our story in a way which was both entertaining and sentimental! He had us smiling from ear to ear through the entire thing! We could not have asked for a better ceremony! Our guests all came up to us at some stage and commented on how great he was as well! Thank you Sam for making our day just magical! - Ally and Matt 28.11.21

I cannot recommend Sam enough! He made the whole process leading up to the wedding so easy and he told our story perfectly! Our guests loved him and thought he must have been a family member because it really felt like he knew us as a couple. He kept our ceremony entertaining and fit in with our laid-back atmosphere perfectly.

Sam was amazing from the moment we booked him. In the lead up he was always contactable and answered any questions we had. On the day he made our ceremony perfect and made us feel so comfortable, all of our family an friends thought we had known Sam for years. We would highly recommend booking in Sam for your special day.

Sam was an absolute legend and gentleman from the get-go! From the moment we met, we knew he would be the right fit for us. He was easy-going, humorous, informative, and very professional, he immediately made us feel at ease. Not only was he incredibly timely with his responsiveness, but he was also open and flexible to our ever-evolving ceremony arrangements, making the process of planning our wedding stress free. We would highly recommend engaging Sam as the celebrant for your big day.

Super informative and overall just a really great bloke.
