Josh Withers Tasmanian Wedding Celebrant

You don’t need a celebrant who’ll just show up and read a script.

You need someone who gets it.

I’m Josh Withers—Tasmanian-based marriage celebrant, storyteller, rule-breaker (in all the right ways). I believe your wedding ceremony should be the best part of your day. Not the boring bit before the drinks. Not a box to tick. But a deeply personal, genuinely joyful, properly legal, and totally unforgettable moment.

Since 2009, I’ve married thousands of couples in over 20 countries. But these days, I call Tasmania home—Ranelagh in the Huon Valley, to be exact. I work across the state (and the world), creating ceremonies that reflect who you truly are, not who tradition says you should be.

Whether you’re dreaming of a quick legals-only wedding in Hobart, a simple elopement on a beach in Bicheno, or a full-blown ceremony in the mountains with a string quartet and a goat in a bowtie—I’m here for it.

What I offer:

• Ceremonies that feel like you – no templates, no awkward jokes, no fluff
• Packages for every kind of couple – from just-the-legals to premium + MC
• Tech that works – wireless mic, backup audio, ceremony video capture
• Full legal compliance – I’m a Commonwealth-registered celebrant, not just a guy with a nice voice
• Support that makes things easy – timeline help, vow writing tips, and vendor recommendations
• Tasmanian local knowledge – where to go, what to avoid, who to trust

You’ll like working with me if you:

• Hate the idea of a cringey, impersonal wedding
• Value professionalism and personality
• Want a celebrant who shows up prepared and present (not winging it)
• Believe the ceremony deserves as much love as the flowers and the cake, if not more!
• Appreciate good banter, clear communication, and straight-up honesty
