Melbourne Civil Marriage Celebrant Mona Chung Chao

Mona Chung-Chao is a Melbourne-based civil marriage celebrant who creates personalised wedding ceremonies shaped by each couple’s story. Her approach begins with conversations with the couple and, where appropriate, interviews with family and friends, turning their experiences and memories into words that feel specific to the people being celebrated. Mona offers a distinctive storytelling process that can include letters to family, stories gathered from close friends, and love letters written partner to partner and read during the ceremony.

She also guides couples through what to expect on the day, helping them feel prepared and supported as their ceremony unfolds. In addition to civil wedding ceremonies, Mona offers Chinese ceremonies, including Chinese tea ceremonies, and is available to travel beyond Melbourne, with travel fees applying. Her website features testimonials, ceremony videos, tips, frequently asked questions, and information about her work and recognition.

Mona’s awards include the International Wedding Awards 2020 and WOMO Service Awards, and her recognition also includes a bronze award from the Aus Mumpreneur Awards 2020 and Australian Achiever Awards in 2016
