My name is Teegan Townsend and I am a modern Marriage Celebrant based in Canberra.

MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS THAT YOU (AND YOUR GUESTS) WALK AWAY FROM YOUR CEREMONY AND SAY “THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN”.

But just one thing.. I’m not the kind of marriage celebrant who does boring ick or the “romantic fairytale” shudder ceremonies.

So… hand on heart - I promise not to stand up there and quote 17th-century poetry or explain the definition of marriage according to Oxford, (snoozeville) but this means I’m a bit picky with who I work with. My couples are after something fun, happy, modern and ready to throw boring traditions in the bin (nobody has time for a hand binding). If you want to smile, laugh and maybe even shed a few happy tears then I think we’ll get along.

And this should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway. Love is love. It’s for everyone. Teegan Loves Weddings is inclusive and welcoming of all couples. Be it diversity in gender identity, body, sex, sexual orientation, race, culture, religion, physical or mental barriers… 

If you’re an adult that’s able to get married and wants to get married – then heck, let’s make that happen.

 

 

 Hey Teegan, you sound like our kind of gal... 

What’s next?

  • Firstly, get in touch by using the contact button or send an email to find out if your chosen wedding date is available (my bookings are currently open until December 2024)!

  • We can say hello via a video call. I’ll chat and let you know about me, what I do as your marraige celebrant and you can ask me any questions. After the call you can let me know if I’m the marriage celebrant for you. A booking deposit of 10% then confirms your date.

  • Now we turn up the planning dial. Over a coffee (my fav bean is Red Brick in Curtin) or another virtual meeting we can organise to complete the Notice of Intended Marriage and start to organise the ideas for your wedding ceremony. Don’t worry - you get married once (probably) and I am around weddings every week so I will come to you with all the ideas that fit the vibe you are after. It’s like the very best kind of “choose your own adventure” book.

  • I will ask that you pay your final invoice at least 4 weeks before your wedding ceremony

  • We can catch up the week of your wedding for a beverage (this is the modern take of a wedding rehearsal - your wedding is not a production though so we won’t practise the walk) and we will organise to to sign the No Legal Impediment to Marriage and go through your final script.

  • Your wedding ceremony! The best part! Cue the laughter, tears, hugs and photos. At some point we will sign the Official Certificate of Marriage and you will be presented with your Marriage Certificate.

  • Afterwards I will submit all legal paperwork. I’ll send you a follow up email when this is done. Want to change your name - I’ll send you some info on this. I have a rule that if one person is changing their name then their other half has to do the admin ;)

Testimonials
Tyla and Conor | The Barn on The Ridge

If you are thinking about working with Teegan for your wedding I advise that you stop thinking and book her in IMMEDIATELY!

Teegan is such an incredible human who goes above and beyond to ensure your day is everything you could imagine and more. Teegan is a wealth of knowledge and was extremely helpful, kind and most importantly fun from the moment we contacted her about our South Coast wedding.

Our ceremony was perfect. My husband and I could not imagine our big day without Teegan.

Joe and Sara | Lake Crackenback

With lots of our family and friends thinking we were long-time friends; she took our non-traditional wedding ideas and turned them into a ceremony that will go down in the history books. She was always contactable, friendly, and super helpful when it came to wedding tips and tricks that you wouldn’t of even of thought to think about.

She had the crowd in stitches and tears, it was the perfect balance. We are so happy and grateful we had Teegan as our celebrant. We could not recommend her more!!

Emma and Evan | Lennox Gardens ACT

Teegan was incredible from the get-go. We sadly had to postpone our big perfect wedding, and decided to go ahead with a small ceremony with our immediate family in the middle of the pandemic. Teegan's bright and sunny disposition throughout the process and her willingness to go the extra mile made everything easier and far less stressful than we could have hoped. She made our ceremony personal and intimate, and so very special despite the circumstances. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for any wedding, and we cannot thank her enough for everything. 10/10

Emma and Guy | Milton NSW

Teegan saved my entire wedding! When my original celebrant's family had a covid crisis the morning of my wedding day - Teegan took over and saved everything. Last minute she dropped everything to travel interstate from Canberra to Bowral!

I was so nervous, even more so not knowing who was going to marry us. Just before I was about to walk down the aisle, she quickly came over and calmed my nerves, introduced herself and delivered the BEST ceremony ever. All of my guests were blown away with how amazing it was and no one could tell that she didn't know us. She made the entire thing so personal & loving with lighthearted humour.

If I ever did it again (which I would never do haha) Teegan would be the first person I'd contact. Thank you so so much Teegan! Almost 2 months later and Guy & I are still going strong ;)

Natasha and Sascha | The Deck ACT

Teegan is the kind of celebrant that you want on your wedding day. She makes everything seem effortless. Although I was a little nervous walking down the aisle, the feelings just melted away as soon as you so brilliantly took charge! We will happily recommend you to anyone who asks.

Abby and Tom | Boorowa NSW

Thank you so much for everything. You are a fantastic person with a wonderful caring heart and helped us with everything, going out of your way to make it a very special day for us. You sense of humour is wonderful and we looked forward to every catch up!

Nicole and Sav | Botanic Gardens ACT

Teegan was our celebrant and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She was really helpful at making our ceremony feel like ‘us’ and helped with reading suggestions and vows.

On the day of our wedding it poured with rain, but nothing could dampen her smile and she quickly worked out what needed to be adjusted to move our ceremony inside.

The paperwork was completed quickly and registration was processed within a week. You won’t regret booking her!
