Craig Batchelor - Celebrant & MC

Craig Batchelor - Celebrant & MC

Becoming an authorized Marriage Celebrant was a decision fueled by my passion for love and a delightful reason to expand my collection of velvet jackets, bow ties, and pocket squares. As a Marriage Celebrant, MC, and dedicated professional in the wedding industry, I truly understand what couples seek in a celebrant, as well as what they wish to avoid. Couples desire someone who is not only organized and fun but also radiates warmth and energy without going overboard. They appreciate a celebrant who takes the time to connect personally while maintaining a professional demeanor. It's essential that this person values the love, joy, and commitment shared by the couple, which will shine through in their wedding ceremony. On the flip side, no one wants a celebrant who shows up late, is disorganized, relies solely on a script, forgets names, shares awkward jokes, or disrupts those cherished wedding photos.

I chose this path because I find immense joy in being a key part of such a monumental occasion in the lives of people who, over time, become friends. I cherish each opportunity to collaborate with couples, ensuring that together we craft a ceremony that is unique, heartfelt, sincere, and filled with fun--almost like experiencing love all over again! The ceremonies I design will leave your family and friends reminiscing, laughing, and shedding tears of joy long after your Diamond Wedding Anniversary. My mission is to help you realize your dream wedding, whether you envision a fun, personal, heartfelt, or creatively styled celebration. I'm here to guide you through every step, from the legal requirements to making the planning process seamless.

Crafting dream weddings is an art, and I draw from my extensive experience in the corporate realm as an MC and event manager, paired with a passion for public speaking, an eye for detail, and a touch of flair. I love meeting couples and discovering the stories, heartfelt moments, and deep affection you share. Throughout the planning and on your special day, I bring a friendly blend of experience, warmth, and vibrancy to ensure your celebration is unforgettable for both you and your guests. I can't wait to get to know you! Much Love, Craig xx
