Photo of Jo Pierce Ceremonies Jo Pierce Ceremonies "Jo was a celebrant for my mum’s Celebration of Life in Gleniffer. She spent time with us to really get to know mum and ensure she honoured her in the best possible way. She checked out the venue prior to the service and was early on the day. Jo was exceptionally professional, sensitive and respectful. Her words about mum were beautiful and her delivery was exquisite. She even sang “What a wonderful world”. I highly recommend her. Thank you Jo for your warmth, calm presence and kindness." Based in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales 6th November 2025 Mel D - Memorial Service Photo of Mark Your Ceremony Mark Your Ceremony "Mark rocked our world- Literally. Such a character. We were so happy to have him for our day!" Based in Perth, Western Australia Sarah Stevens - MC Photo of Anna | Wedding Celebrant Italy Anna | Wedding Celebrant Italy "We asked Anna to celebrate our vow renewal, exactly a year and a day after our handfasting. For us, this wasn't simply a different way of marking our marriage — it was our way of understanding life and spirituality itself. From the very beginning, Anna understood exactly what we were looking for in the ceremony: intimacy, emotional depth, and symbolism that felt entirely our own. Every gesture, every object we used, every moment we built together under her guidance fitted perfectly into the wider picture. Our guests — even those who came in a little sceptical about such an unusual ritual — loved most of all that it was a moment that spoke of us, full of meaning that everyone could relate to, and everyone felt part of it, not least because we were all standing together in a circle. The most moving moment for us was when our family and friends bound our hands with ribbon, blessing us with their wishes. Giving guests an active role within the circle and the ceremony, just as they are part of our lives, is without doubt one of the great strengths of a Celtic rite. We couldn't recommend Anna more warmly — for her experience, and for her ability to truly see into a couple's heart and understand them at a deep level. She gave us a day we will never forget." Based in Milan, Lombardy, Italy 29th October 2026 Martina and Simone - Handfasting, Symbolic Wedding, Vow Renewal Photo of Wedding Celebrant Enrico Wedding Celebrant Enrico "Working with Enrico was such a special and fun part of our elopement journey. From the first interaction with him, I knew we would be in great hands and that we made the right choice for our celebrant. He handled everything with such detail and care, and was so intentional with every part of the process. My husband and I both felt connected and comfortable with him from the start, so when we finally met on our elopement morning, it felt like we were reconnecting with someone we’d known for a long time. The speech he wrote for us captured our story perfectly and made our ceremony unforgettable. At first we weren’t even sure if we wanted a celebrant but now we can speak from experience and say that there was no other way to go than choosing Enrico." Based in Rome, Latium, Italy 28th October 2026 Ashley Siebrasse - Elopement Photo of Valore Professional Celebrant/Officiant Valore Professional Celebrant/Officiant "Valeria Michela Miccolis: a celebrant of immense V.A.L.ORE! Choosing Valeria Michela Miccolis as our celebrant was one of the best decisions of our entire wedding. Truly, we cannot put into words how incredible — and especially how helpful — she was. With Valeria, you will definitely receive far more than what you pay for. We found her through gigheaven.com, and she immediately stood out from everyone we contacted. Her energy, her passion, her bubbly personality — she captured us instantly. Valeria was unbelievably supportive even before the wedding day. She guided us through every step with the Comune, helped us organise all the civil‑side requirements, and made sure everything was perfectly prepared. Her help was invaluable. On the wedding day, with all the panic and pressure caused by torrential rain and a 2‑hour delay, she handled everything flawlessly. From start to finish, she was in full control, took charge, and delivered a beautiful ceremony despite the chaos. We are so, so grateful to have found her — we genuinely believe no one else would have done what she did. We’ve attached a few photos with her, including one with the umbrellas she gifted us as a symbolic memory of the “trauma” we overcame together. It’s fair to say she is part of the family now. If you’re unsure what to do… just book her. You will not regret it — you will be in the best hands." Translated from Italian Based in Bari, Apulia, Italy 4th October 2026 Daniel Minetti - Private wedding at Masseria San Nicola Photo of Claudio Ceino Wedding Celebrant Claudio Ceino Wedding Celebrant "The experience was amazing! Claudio was professional and friendly and was essential in creating a surprise vow renewal for my wife and I from Canada. He picked the perfect location and made such a special day for us. I never could have done it without him. Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! Grazie, Claudio!" Based in Palermo, Sicily, Italy 22nd September 2026 Paul Sheldon - Anniversary Surprise

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding officiants / wedding celebrants is $850, with prices from $440 to $1,450+. Cost depends on the officiant's experience, the length of the ceremony, the level of personalisation and travel distance. Many officiants offer consultations and rehearsal attendance as part of their package.

The wedding officiants / wedding celebrants lead and shape wedding ceremonies. They work with the couple to write a personalised ceremony that reflects their story, values and preferences. Some officiants are legally authorised to perform marriages, while others provide a ceremonial service alongside a legal registration.

Common events for wedding officiants / wedding celebrants include non-traditional weddings, vow renewals, naming ceremonies, commitment ceremonies and elopements. A celebrant-led ceremony usually allows more flexibility and personalisation than a standard legal ceremony, though the rules on what is legally binding vary by country.

Most wedding officiants / wedding celebrants need several meetings or calls with the couple before the ceremony to plan the content, so plenty of lead time is important. Popular dates fill up quickly, and six to twelve months of notice is ideal. Gig Heaven recommends making enquiries as early as possible.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
