Deborah Lilley Celebrant Services

Fun, quirky, happy, vibrant, and above all, heartfelt—with just a touch of seriousness—perfectly encapsulates the essence of what my ceremonies are all about. Whether you’re planning a wedding in the Adelaide Hills or the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula, as an experienced celebrant and MC, I am here to ensure that your special day is anything but mundane. A ceremony is a significant occasion, but that doesn’t mean it has to be solemn and dull. My mission is to craft unique ceremonies for unique couples, tailored to suit your preferences, whether they’re long or short, grand or intimate, but always personal and perfect for you.

I embarked on my journey as a celebrant in 2014, driven by my desire for a creative outlet that matched my flair for organisation and keen attention to detail. Since then, I’ve proudly conducted over 450 legal weddings and more than 100 non-legal ceremonies for a myriad of occasions, as of June 2024. With me, you can rest assured that you are in safe, confident, competent, and knowledgeable hands. My goal is to maintain a professional yet fun and bubbly approach, ensuring your ceremony is a joyous occasion.

At heart, I am a vibrant, fun-loving individual with a zest for life, and I bring that energy to every ceremony I conduct. I have a particular fondness for animals and a love for anything retro or vintage—from the roaring ’20s flapper era to the rock-and-roll vibes of the ’50s, all the way to Star Wars and the realm of sci-fi. My approach is flexible and inclusive, and I would be delighted to collaborate creatively with you to deliver your perfect ceremony. My role is to transform your dreams into reality, acting as the facilitator of your vision and the glue that holds everything together on the day. As a confident public speaker, I ensure a clear and engaging delivery, with or without a microphone.

Being a professional Celebrant and MC is not just my job; it is my passion. My business motto, “My passion, Your wedding, Your way,” reflects my dedication to making your special day truly unique and memorable. I take immense pride in delivering ceremonies that resonate with each couple, aiming for your guests to walk away feeling like they were part of something truly wondrous. The personalised copy of the ceremony that I use on the day serves as a cherished memento for you to treasure.
