Designing Your Perfect Wedding Ceremony

I love love, and I love people, so being a marriage celebrant is my perfect job and I always feel so privileged to be part of such an emotional and happy moment as a couple being married or renewing their marriage vows.

Every ceremony is made special and memorable by my couple, and the journey we have taken together to get to your big day.

As your celebrant, I will ensure that the preparation for your Sunshine Coast wedding will be organised, enjoyable and stress-free, and that your ceremony will be personal, romantic, humorous, warm and relaxed, ….perfectly presented, and perfect for you.

Having married over 1500 couples and renewing the vows of hundreds more, you can feel confident that I’ve got your back 🙂

Every ceremony special & memorable

All of your imagining, planning and organising is wrapped up in your one special day and you deserve a wedding ceremony that honestly reflects your relationship and is just perfect for you.

Whether you are having a small, intimate wedding or a larger gathering, I will create the ceremony that you want.

There is nothing better than seeing couples and guests smile, laugh, cry (happy tears of course), hug and clap during a ceremony, or standing with an eloping couple, seeing them totally absorbed in each other and the words of their ceremony.

Every wedding ceremony is special because it is an expression of your love, and I make sure your ceremony is about you both and your life together. Whatever you dream your ceremony to be, I will bring it all together.

What My Couples Are Saying...

My (now) husband and I absolutely loved having Jan part of our wedding, she made it all the more special. We loved how personable and friendly she was from the very beginning. Jan has also been really flexible through the whole thing. My husband and I got engaged 3 months ago and decided to plan our wedding soon after. As you could imagine, it was quite stressful finding and coordinating everyone at short notice but Jan was amazing and jumped on board strait away. Jan found the time to come and visit us in person to talk through the process and sort out some of the documentation. We weren't the quickest in getting all our paperwork sorted but Jan was very patient and understanding with us along the way. When she visited, Jan made a point of asking us the correct pronunciation of our names, which can be particularly difficult with my husband's Hungarian name but Jan mastered it before the ceremony and said it perfectly which was so lovely and made all the difference for us. We feel privileged to have had Jan as our Celebrant and would recommend Jan to anyone on the Sunshine Coast to create a beautiful and very meaningful ceremony for your wedding day.

Jan, thank you so much for your help and support. It meant the world to have someone so caring and professional to officiate our special day. Every step of the process was simple and clearly explained. We couldn’t have wished for anyone better.

Lee Harding 13/03/2024

Jan was a dream celebrant right from the first email enquiry I sent her. We planned our wedding in just four weeks (!!!) and Jan made it all happen. Jan has excellent constant communication with no question made to feel too much or too hard to do. Jan is a bubble of kindness, joy and positivity who radiates her love of love. She made my husband and I feel taken care of, calm, and organised during the lead up to our wedding- and included in every step of the way. On our special day Jan arrived in a beautiful dress,with a big smile and an air of positivity. Our guests were all made to feel included, warm and comfortable- happily chatting with her before the ceremony. The ceremony went perfectly and seamlessly and before we knew it we were married. It was perfect in every way. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. I would (and will!) recommend Jan to anyone and everyone. She is amazing.

Where do we begin, Jan was beyond amazing throughout this entire process. Jan knew we 1 had no idea what we were doing and 2 time poor between work, a teenager and toddler. Jan took all the stress and worry out for us made it very clear what we needed to do / complete which pages we needed to pay extra care to. Everyone could not stop speaking about the beautiful service Jan performed on Saturday we thank her dearly.

Jan made the whole process easy, fun and comfortable.

Nishan 01/03/2024

Jan was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met her, her calm and relaxed demeanor put us at ease. Her positive energy and amazing aura created such a wonderful atmosphere throughout our elopement. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, which made our special day even more memorable. Her vibrant and passionate personality truly shone through, and her enthusiasm and energy were contagious. Not only was she lovely and kind-hearted, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to officiate our wedding. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly amazing and unforgettable experience. Xx - Kira & Jackson

Kira Morris 15/02/2024

Jan made us feel very relaxed about the day and helped us navigate our way with ease through the vows and readings and order of the wedding. She was sooo easy to work with and I couldn't imagine a more calm but organised person to work with during what could be a very stressful event. We HIGHLY recommend Jan Harvey as a celebrant! You won't regret it!

We can not thank Jan enough! From pre-planning to ceremony to post-ceremony she has been so helpful, calm, knowledgeable and friendly. She made our special day, even better. Highly, highly recommend.

Rose Burke 14/12/2023

Jan was absolutely incredible with the leadup to our Ceremony and what we wanted for our day. The Day itself was better than perfect! Jan really made it warm and lovely and everyone was able to have a laugh! cannot recommend enough!

Jacob Smith 07/12/2023

Where do I start…Jan Harvey Celebrant is the best! Thank you so much for helping us make our day so special, fun and romantic and going beyond what is expected with holding our very special fur baby Bella when we exchanged rings. Your passion from the very beginning was evident from our very first conversation over the phone to when we met and felt so at ease and excited to when we eloped in October up at Maleny, QLD where your loving personality brought such a warm sense to the ceremony. You were always prompt and professional however relaxed and fun and could not do enough for us. I could not recommend you enough, you are a gem and I hope we can stay in touch. Thank you again Jan from the bottom of our hearts xo

Jodie Lucas 03/12/2023

Jan is an excellent communicator and makes the process of putting together a wedding ceremony fun and easy. She ensured our ceremony was personalised and reflected who we are as a couple, including and changing bits and pieces as we asked for it. We cannot recommend her enough.

Jan was absolutely amazing and made our day so special and personal. You can tell that being a Celebrant is Jan's passion and she is so understanding, caring and radiates love and happiness. Thank you Jan, from the bottom of our hearts. Kyra and Myles x

Myles Grant 08/10/2023

Jan was absolutely incredible with our wedding! She put together a beautiful tailored ceremony for us and created an experience we’ll truly never forget. With her help we had the fairytale wedding that we always dreamed of. Thank you Jan!

Tayla Watson 22/09/2023

Jan was so wonderful, welcoming & professional. She prepared us well for the day & we enjoyed every single moment throughout the ceremony with her. Everything from start to finish was amazing. We had so many compliments from our guests on how heartfelt the ceremony was. Thank you Jan! Heather & Leon x

My husband and I were so happy to have selected Jan as our celebrant for our elopement style ceremony. Jan was extremely helpful and relaxed. Nothing was too much to ask and our ceremony was everything we had hoped for (and more)! Highly recommend Jan as a marriage celebrant and extremely well priced.

My wife and I are so incredibly grateful to have chosen Jan as our celebrant. During such a stressful time, with so much to do and organise, Jan did so much to make everything easier. From checking in to see how we were going, to answering our emails and questions, to just being so supportive and wonderful - we couldn't be happier to have chosen her to be part of our special day. We also loved all of the info and fantastic wedding organiser/template she provided. They were so thoughtful and helped us plan all the particulars of our ceremony; which was so magical, made possible by Jan's support, professionalism and phenomenal work before and especially on the day itself. Being blind, my situation was a little different than most grooms, but Jan took the time to get to know us, think of creative ways to support me on the day, and made the whole ceremony go off without a hitch - with many laughs and heartfelt tears. She is so experienced, passionate about what she does and conscientious of others. We couldn't recommend Jan more highly as a celebrant. We feel so lucky to have found her and been able to have her as part of our special day. Thank you Jan!

Nelly Bayley 24/07/2023

Jan truly went above and beyond from day 1. We connected immediately and she made the whole process so easy. We were so relaxed and she just made us and all our family and guests walk away, reminiscing about how special and beautiful she made our day. We had so much love, laughter and happy tears during our ceremony. She nailed it! We are forever grateful for such beautiful memories to last a lifetime that has touched each and everyone who attended.

Jan officiated our Ceremony in the Glass House Mountains and did an outstanding job! We felt so comfortable and at ease with Jan as our celebrant. She guided us the entire way and was quick to provide any answers to our queries and to supply any feedback that we needed. She is just a beautiful human and set the tone for such a memorable and special ceremony. Highly recommend!

Alicia Evans 07/07/2023

Kat Finch 10/06/2023

Jan was wonderful, she made everything so simple for us. The ceremony itself was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. She held the crowd perfectly and had great ideas to help us shape the ceremony in to our own. We would definitely recommend Jan!

From the first meeting Jan was fantastic! She made us feel so comfortable, she made everything so easy, from the legalities, planning the ceremony and answering any questions we had. She was calming, funny and so genuine. Jan made our day even more special here on the Sunshine Coast Thank you so much, no words can explain how grateful we were to have you part of our day ❤️❤️ love Shane & Belinda

Jan made our special day very special. Nothing was too much trouble for her and the ceremony was just as we asked for. We highly recommend Jan.

We recently had Jan perform a vow renewal and she made it all so easy for us! Highly recommend.

Chris Fowler 03/04/2023

Jan is so approachable and friendly but at the same time, also super professional. She was always available when I needed to talk to her and discuss the marriage plans, in fact one of the reasons I chose to go with her was because she instantly replied to my inquiry email even though I had emailed at an odd hour, she always got back to me the same day which made it much easier to communicate. She was very professional and person-centred, gave it enough time to know me and my partner, and put together a beautiful and touching ceremony for us and we never felt rushed through the process, it all felt so natural. We feel she genuinely cares for her clients and wants them to feel special on their big day. Honestly, we could not have found a better celebrant than her. Thanks Jan <3

Jan was absolutely brilliant and I can't recommend her enough, her vast experience as a celebrant was evident from the very beginning. She was so helpful throughout the whole process, from the pre-wedding paperwork, to helpful tips on writing our vows, to creating a custom ceremony that was just for us. Jan was very professional but still so lovely and friendly. We received many compliments about Jan from our guests on our wedding day.

Our Ceremony with Jan on Hamilton Island was just perfect in every way! She is very professional and made us feel very comfortable and supported with her warm and loving personality. We cannot thank you enough for making our day so special! Matt & Liz :)
