Vivienne Celebrant

You’ve said yes — now it’s time to find the right celebrant to help bring your perfect day to life. Allow me to introduce myself, Vivienne Bate, a passionate wedding celebrant based on the Gold Coast. I truly adore what I do. Crafting authentic, heartfelt, and relaxed wedding ceremonies is not just my job — it’s my joy.

I bring a calm, friendly presence to your day, keeping the focus entirely on you as a couple. I’m here to tell your story in a way that feels real, genuine, and full of love, with a few laughs along the way. Whether you’re planning a luxe hinterland wedding, a barefoot beach ceremony, or a simple elopement, I’ll help make it truly unforgettable — and completely you.

As a full-time, experienced celebrant, I’ve officiated hundreds of weddings across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Northern NSW. With a background in Conference and Events, you can count on me to be incredibly organised, professional, and calm under pressure. I’ll keep you informed every step of the way and make sure everything runs smoothly — from the moment we meet to the moment you walk back down the aisle, just married.

Couples often describe me as kind, efficient, warm, fun, and down-to-earth. I don’t do anything “cookie cutter.” Every ceremony I create is personal, meaningful, and built around your values, your vibe, and your love story. I’m also big on the little things — like knowing which way to face you so you’re not squinting into the sun, helping manage family dynamics with care, or ensuring your music cues are spot-on. You’ll get a custom checklist to keep everything on track, plus a celebrant who’s happy to answer every question (even the ones you didn’t know you needed to ask!).

My approach is collaborative — I listen closely, offer suggestions when needed, and make space for whatever you want to include: rituals, readings, cultural elements, personal vows, or even a few surprises. My role is to help you feel comfortable, confident, and excited about what we’re creating together.

I’m based in Mudgeeraba, right in the heart of the Gold Coast, and I travel far and wide — from Brisbane to Casuarina, Mount Tamborine to Burleigh Heads, the beach to the bush. If you’ve found your dream location, I’ll meet you there with bells on (and a legal ceremony script!).

If you’re looking for a Gold Coast marriage celebrant who is professional, warm, modern, friendly, and just a little bit fun — let’s talk. I’d love to get to know you both, hear your story, and start planning a ceremony that feels like you. Because your wedding day isn’t just a moment — it’s a memory you’ll carry forever. Let’s make it a beautiful one.
