Josh Withers

I’m Josh Withers, a Christian marriage celebrant working across Melbourne, helping couples create wedding ceremonies that honour God while still feeling personal, relaxed and genuinely enjoyable.

I’ve been marrying people since 2009, and I work with Christian couples from all kinds of church and faith backgrounds, including Catholic, Pentecostal, evangelical and non-denominational communities.

For me, faith isn’t something we awkwardly bolt onto your ceremony with a Bible reading and call it Christian. I want to understand what you believe, what marriage means to you, and how you want God acknowledged as you make these promises to each other.

That might include prayer, Scripture, worship, communion or involving your family, friends or pastor. Or it might be much simpler. The point is that your faith is expressed honestly, in a way that actually belongs to the two of you.

My ceremonies are conversational, relaxed and largely unscripted. I believe marriage is sacred and worth taking seriously, but that doesn’t mean your wedding needs to feel stiff or overly formal. There’s plenty of room for joy, laughter, emotion and personality.

I work across Melbourne, as well as the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and surrounding parts of Victoria.

If you’re looking for a Melbourne Christian wedding celebrant who understands your faith but won’t give you a generic religious ceremony, I’d love to help you create something that honours God and feels unmistakably like you.
