About Josh

I’m the guy you want holding the microphone when you’re about to say something important. Whether that’s “I do,” “Let’s elope,” or “Here’s what’s holding your business back,” I help people do big things with meaning, clarity, and a touch of humour.

I’m a full-time Commonwealth-Authorised Marriage Celebrant based in Tasmania’s Huon Valley, marrying legends across Australia and around the world. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve had the honour of marrying thousands of couples in over 20 countries — from cliffside elopements in Sicily to barefoot weddings on Icelandic beaches, Central Park to Newfarm Park. No scripts, no recycled clichés, no pretending to be your best friend from childhood. Just real, human, joyful ceremonies that feel like you.

I help my wife, Britt, run *The Elopement Collective* — our way of helping couples ditch the wedding circus and plan something more personal. We believe weddings should be stress-free, beautiful, and about the actual marriage (crazy idea, I know).

And when I’m not marrying legends, I’m helping celebrants and small business owners do what they do *better* — through content strategy, SEO, systems design, and good old-fashioned coaching. I’m the co-founder of *The Celebrant Institute*, and I occasionally moonlight as a conference MC, keynote speaker, and creative consultant.

But here’s the truth: none of this matters more to me than being a good husband to Britt and dad to our girls Luna and Goldie. Everything I build — every system, every ceremony, every client win — is in service of more time, more margin, and more presence with the people I love like my family, friends, and my couples.

I believe in doing great work for great people. I believe the ceremony should be the best part of the wedding. I believe in kindness, good coffee, not wasting time, and saying things worth saying.

If that resonates, we’ll probably get along.
