About Trudy – Brisbane Wedding Celebrant

Experienced. Calm. Personalised.

Hi, I’m Trudy, an award-winning Brisbane marriage celebrant with over 15 years of experience creating warm, meaningful and genuinely personal wedding ceremonies across Brisbane and South East Queensland.

I believe your ceremony should feel relaxed, heartfelt and completely you — not rushed, awkward or full of clichés. Whether you’re planning a big celebration, an intimate micro wedding, or a quiet elopement, my role is to guide you calmly through the process and deliver a ceremony that feels effortless on the day.

A Trusted Brisbane Celebrant with 15+ Years Experience

I’ve had the privilege of officiating hundreds of weddings throughout Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and surrounding regions. Over the years, couples have trusted me not just to legally marry them — but to set the tone for their entire wedding day.

I’m known for being:

  • Calm and reassuring (especially when nerves hit)

  • Organised and professional with all legal requirements

  • Warm, friendly and easy to talk to

  • Highly experienced in a wide range of ceremony styles

From relaxed backyard weddings to formal venue celebrations, I adapt my approach to suit you.

Personalised Ceremonies That Reflect Your Story

No two couples are the same — and your ceremony shouldn’t be either.

I take time to get to know you, your journey, and what matters most to you. From there, I work with you to create a personalised ceremony script that feels natural, engaging and meaningful — whether that includes humour, tradition, modern elements, or something beautifully simple.

If you’re unsure where to start, I’ll guide you through:

  • Ceremony structure

  • Vows (your own or inspired)

  • Readings or rituals (optional)

  • Music timing and flow

Everything is explained clearly and calmly, so nothing feels overwhelming.

Award-Winning & Highly Recommended

I’m proud to be recognised within the wedding industry, including:

  • Easy Weddings 5-Star Award winner

  • Named among Top Brisbane Celebrants in wedding industry awards

  • Australian Bridal Industry Awards (ABIA) finalist

More importantly, I’m incredibly grateful for the heartfelt feedback from couples who consistently describe my ceremonies as stress-free, warm and memorable.
