Choosing a celebrant for the wedding was probably the most uncomfortable part of my wedding we had to book. We met... Julie at a wedding expo, after taking multiple laps we spoke to 2 celebrants. The first left next to no impression. We then approached Julie, she made us feel comfortable from the get go. Her description of how she does things, relaxed, fun and a little bit bogan, was right up my alley. The whole process was incredibly organised and relaxed. The ceremony was amazing and Julie made everyone feel comfortable. The way she ran the ceremony was perfect, to such a degree we had people commenting how amazing she was. She was funny, but not to the degree she took the spotlight or made things awkward. If you’re reading this then you would already be considering Julie as an option, so look no further. If I could do it all again Julie would be booked again without a second thought.read more

Julie finally got to marry us on 24th April 2022 after 3 postponements due to COVID! It was the most beautiful ceremony... due to Julie's lovely personality, calm demeanour, professionalism and behind the scenes organisation. A lot of guests commented that they loved Julie's words and tone of voice as she summed up perfectly our love story that brought us to get married. She kept the ceremony just to the right length and did a fantastic job of highlighting our love for our daughter and family and friends that were also present. Thank-you so much Julie!read more

She also got to know us and was able to articulate our journey so well. We were rapt to be wedding number 800. Thanks so much Julie, we couldn't recommend you enough.read more

Julie married my husband and I back in 2018 and let me tell you, this woman is incredible. We were so lucky to have the... best possible suppliers for our day, all such gracious and friendly people making us feel so relaxed and Julie was no exception. From planning, rehearsing all though to the day she was so easy to get along with and guided us through the process with ease. She helped us include our baby in the ceremony, comforted Matt as nerves overwhelmed him and provided that sense of serenity throughout the whole ceremony that made it just perfect. Can't thank her enough!read more

From the very first email, I knew picking Julie to be our celebrant was the best choice. The guide she provides is so... comprehensive and helpful, I can’t even begin to explain just how amazing it is (you should book and see for yourself!) It’s extremely helpful for husbands to be who are not great with words or for fussy brides to be who want to find exactly the right words to say. Our ceremony was short but sweet, exactly what we wanted but it can literally be whatever you want it to be! All our guests mentioned how beautifully Julie spoke about us and I cannot recommend her more!read more

From the moment we met Julie, we knew she was the perfect match for us. What originally for me was one of the most... daunting parts of the wedding planning, she made it easy and enjoyable (even while planning through a pandemic) We can not recommend her enough, she was able to capture everything we wanted and if you have young kids in the wedding party, Julie embraces them and whatever they throw her way through the ceremony keeping everyone smiling and stress free. We received so many compliments from our guests of how great she was and we definitely more than agree. Thank you so much Julie!!!read more

Julie officiated our wedding in March and she was the perfect choice for our friendly vibe. She was great at helping us... to loosen up during the ceremony and she has great comic timing as well for the parts of the introduction designed to evoke a laugh. Her delivery is very natural, down to earth, honest and sincere, which is great because it helped to put us at ease during the ceremony. She was also helpful and communicative in the lead up to the wedding so we got all our ducks in a row on time. We highly recommend her to others.read more

Just before Christmas last year, Julie so kindly married us in a speedy but thoughtful service that incorporated our... love for nature and of course our dog! Tucked away in a quiet green clearing in Silvan Forest, she gave our very small but lovely ceremony an atmosphere with just a little bit of sparkle, even without a multitude of guests.Our gratitude to Julie for the ease and professionalism she displayed, even when asked to treck 20 minutes in the forest to host our wedding, was incredible.From the bottom of our hearts, thank you xxread more

We are so glad we came across Julie at the Melbourne Bridal Expo. My bridesmaids agreed that she gave off a really... relaxed vibe which was something we were unknowingly looking for. We didn't know it at the time but that came in handy when planning a wedding during COVID. Julie kept us up to date about what was happening with weddings and was able to make our small ceremony the perfect way to celebrate our love when things were (and still are) very unpredictable. I strongly recommend that you choose Julie as your celebrant!read more

We absolutely loved having Julie as our celebrant.To begin with we had looked around and met a few other celebrants... however they just didn't fit the right vibe we wanted.We wanted someone fun, outgoing, encouraging, helpful, cheerful, easy going and most of all someone who knew what they were doing and could lead us along uncharted waters!We met with Julie and knew she was the celebrant for us! And it turns out she had worked with our other vendors as well so it was all seamless.We had a change of bridal party a few weeks out and a change of venue after booking but nothing was a drama.We had our son when we first met and she worked around his needs for bed and entertainment with our initial meeting. Then by time we got married we had our daughter. The kids were a part of our celebration and were gifted their own certificates (which our 4 year old LOVED and our 1 year old was just obsessed with rocks but its a lovely memory item for them later on).Julie made the entire process so easy with all of her guidance, information and professionalism even down to organising the legal certificate to be posted to us!If you haven't booked to chat or meet with Julie yet..... do it! You won't regret it! She is 10/10!read more

You know you made the right choice when guests come up to you days/weeks after your wedding and rave about your... ceremony and the celebrant being the most fantastic and charismatic they’ve ever seen. That was absolutely the case with Julie Byrne and I’m so happy she was available to support my partner and me on our wedding day.We wanted to keep things light-hearted but impactful for our ceremony, so we went hunting for a celebrant who could help us achieve this vision. We met Julie at the Melbourne Wedding Expo and took her card after a quick chat and some good vibes. Speaking with Julie the following week it was clear that her relaxed and professional nature was a perfect fit for our event, and the rest is history!Julie provided support and experience in the months leading up to the wedding, which allowed my partner and me to refine the ceremony without fuss. On the day she provided everything needed for the ceremony and managed to sneak in some of the jokes that didn’t make it into our wedding vows. She also added her own personal touches which fit seamlessly with the ceremony and the day. The ceremony left our guests in tears of laughter while also being deep and moving, which is everything we could have asked for. We highly recommend Julie to support you on your special day and guarantee you’ll have some amazing memories.read more

This is a very belated review as we got married in October 2019 and unfortunately in the months following experienced... some tragedies - I had a miscarriage upon return from our honeymoon and my Dad diagnosed with terminal cancer Christmas Eve. We found Julie on the Internet and when I mentioned her name to my Mum she was certain she knew Julie? From the very meeting with Julie we instantly felt connected and knew at that point Julie was the one! Turns out Julie did work with my Mum many years ago and Julie mentioned she was the DJ at one of my older brothers 21st Birthday!!! Clearly meant to be then... Julie has such a bubbly yet calming personality and very professional in her approach. Our intention for our ceremony was to be relaxed, fun and engaging - Julie provided all of the above plus more. It was the little personal touches from Julie like not having to worry about printing out our vowels and remembering this on the day as Julie took care of that. Sounds trivial but believe me there is so much to think and worry about leading up to the day and this is a critical moment you want to be prepared for. Julie asking at that first meeting the colour of the bridesmaids dresses so she coordinated her own outfit to blend in and she of course looked stunning on the day! Seeing Julie just prior to the actual ceremony, checking in with me that I was ready and reassuring me that everything is looking beautiful, your guests are all seated, it’s time “let’s get you married” was so comforting for me that I could only then focus on my bridesmaids maids walking down the aisle and most importantly seeing my man waiting for me! In our second meeting with Julie we practiced standing positions, ring exchanging, basically a quick rehearsal of the ceremony. This enabled flow on the day as you don’t want to present awkward on your special day and not really know what’s happening next. We loved that Julie positioned herself to the side throughout the ceremony so that we remained the focal point. We had already preplanned that Julie would hold the microphone for me when reading my vowels (I have MS and didn’t want any visible shaking) so I could focus on holding the vowels. The little whisper from Julie as soon as I had finished reading to my man “well done, that was awesome” was touching for me. The whole ceremony was relaxed but intimate and Julie created this atmosphere. Presenting our two flower girls (my nieces) with certificates was a beautiful touch and they loved this! We were so happy with Julies professionalism and ability to engage with our wedding party and guests. Julie made the ceremony fun and of course all the formalities professional which was exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend you engage Julie for your ceremony and can guarantee you will be a very happy married couple at the end of the day!!!read more

Julie was the perfect celebrant for us. We had met a few celebrants through expos and research online and we hadn't... found anyone that clicked well with us, just as we were about to give up and pick any celebrant our prayers were answered and we found Julie.

We had Julie as our celebrant in our September wedding. From our first conversation, we were so happy with our... decision. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire journey and we had complete trust in her abilities to put together an amazing ceremony. She was always quick to reply to emails and took care of all the legal documentation both before and after the wedding. Unfortunately, on the day, rain was threatening our outdoor ceremony but Julie was able to select the parts that she could skim over, in order to shorten the ceremony and squeeze it in before the rain. She put together the most beautiful, heartfelt and lovely ceremony from only the small amount of information we provided her with and our friends and family could not stop raving about her! She was so switched on and solved problems without us having to say anything. I could not recommend Julie more highly and we thank her for playing such a crucial role in our special day.read more
