Marry Me Monty is a certified wedding celebrant based in the Northern Rivers near Byron Bay, creating fun, heartfelt and personalised ceremonies across the Byron Shire, Queensland and elsewhere in Australia. Monty draws on her storytelling career in radio, television and podcasts to help couples celebrate their love in a way that feels true to them. Services include full wedding ceremonies, from $1,100, and legal-only ceremonies, from $600, for couples seeking a simple, legally binding “I do.

” Elopements and vow renewals are available from $800, as are baby-naming ceremonies to welcome a child. The process starts with an availability check and a conversation in person or over Zoom, where Monty learns about the couple and discusses the legal requirements. This meeting must take place at least 31 days before the wedding.

Monty drafts the ceremony and works with the couple on revisions to make the wording personal and meaningful. On the day, she arrives 30 minutes before the ceremony and submits the legal documents afterward
