Virginia Lawrence - Family, Funeral & Marriage Celebrant

Gin really did an amazing job with our wedding. We had a lot of positive comments from our guests after the wedding.
Gin really made the process easy and stress free!

We were lucky enough to have Virginia join us as a celebrant for our recent home wedding. It was important for us to find somebody relaxed, personable and fun. Gin exceeded all of this and made the moment so special for us. I can't recommend her highly enough.

We married barefoot on the mountain, incorporating a meditation and handfasting. It was magical. We are still glowing and basking in the joy and happiness from that day.   It truly couldn't have been more perfect and Gin was were brilliant from our first to final contact.
At all times Gin was professional, warm and calming. She really listened to what we wanted and was able to tailor our ceremony, her words and the vibe to fit with that. She gave us a comprehensive framework to base our ceremony on, so that we at all times felt guided and supported in the preparations. On the day she was great at rolling with last minute changes and surprises, reassuring us, holding a safe container around everything and bringing some much appreciated humour. Would definitely recommend Gin for your ceremony.

Gin was incredible! She was the celebrant for my mother's funeral and delivered a beautiful service. I have had many people tell me how lovely the service was and how great Gin was. Our mother died suddenly and while we couldn't be our true selves because of our grief Gin guided us through the process with care and understanding.

Hi Gin

I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for being a perfect fit for our family celebration of mum's life today. You had such a wonderful presence that it really added to our service. It’s a difficult day emotionally for the family but you helped us make it a memorable day for everyone who attended.

I wish you all the best as you help other families celebrate their loved ones in the future.

Gin was such a beautiful celebrant for our wedding in April. Every interaction with her was lovely, she was very accommodating also when we unfortunately had to reschedule our wedding due to restrictions. Our ceremony was exactly what we were after, short but full of love and personal to us as a couple, I would highly recommend to Gin to anyone getting married. Thanks Gin:)

Words cannot describe how amazing it was to have Gin as our celebrant. Even though it was pouring with rain, her gentle, witty and kind manor came across like sunshine. Her passion for this industry is second to none and I would not hesitate in recommending her for any special event.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely intimate elopment in Virginia's scenic Kallista gardens. Gin wrote a lovely speech encapsulating our relationship, with some good jokes thrown in. We were laughing and smiling the whole time. Gin's husband was our photographer for the day and he took some wonderful pictures.

The extra little details really impressed us - such as the folder she gave us at the end which included our marriage certificate and a "congratulations! " card. And the sparkling wine she surprised us with so we could sit and celebrate once the ceremony was over. She even fixed up my flower posie before the ceremony, which I had hastily bought beforehand and not arranged properly!

We were very happy and highly recommend Virginia Lawrence as a Celebrant.

Gin was the most perfect celebrant! Kind, gentle, funny and compassionate, she really understood us and our ceremony and brought our vision to life. Highly recommend!

From the moment we came across Gin via her website, we had a really good feeling about her. We could see that she puts a lot of love and spirit into everything she does, and this is exactly what she had to offer from the moment we met her right through until our special day. She was clear, relaxed and professional which made the process very easy for us. She personalised our wedding to reflect who are, creating a special ceremony which made us and our guests cry and laugh at the same time. We couldn't recommend Gin enough for your special day, and we are very grateful to her for the beautiful memories she helped us create.

Virginia wove a warm and sometimes humorous eulogy from our family stories to help us farewell to our much beloved brother leaving us far too soon. So many at the funeral commented on her linking of the stories, music and love that were so much of his life.

My mum recently passed away, far too young, and Gin was the perfect celebrant for her funeral. It was a heartbreaking day but Gin helped us every step of the way and made the day truly beautiful.
We're all so grateful for everything you did for us, and our mum. The whole family and all of mum's friends have commented on how beautiful and fitting the ceremony was for mum. You made it feel so personal and special, and we'll be forever grateful. Mum got the send-off she deserved and you really helped us make that happen.
Thank you, Gin ️
If you're looking for a professional, yet caring and personable celebrant, look no further. Gin is absolutely amazing.

Gin is an absolute godsend! She helped us through the planning process for our wedding ceremony remotely (we were in Sydney most of the time) with only a month's notice. Gin was always there for us when we had questions, so thoughtful of every detail that we couldn't have anticipated otherwise. She also helped us find emergency alpacas when our original booking cancelled. Amazing!
We wanted a casual fun vibe for our ceremony and Gin delivered on all fronts. Thank you so much for a perfect ceremony. Would happily get married again by Gin if we could!
