Wedding Celebrant on the Mornington Peninsula
Celebrant Services for Weddings
Barefoot at Blairgowrie, beneath the vines at Red Hill, or on a clifftop at Sorrento — Amanda Morgan is the wedding celebrant Mornington Peninsula couples turn to. Born and raised here, she writes every ceremony from scratch.
Personalised Wedding Ceremonies, Written From Scratch
No two couples are the same, and no two ceremonies should be either. As a marriage celebrant Mornington Peninsula couples describe as warm and easy to work with, Amanda gets to know you both before she writes a single word. Every script is fully original — never a template.
Amanda is also happy to be as hands-on as you'd like, from talking through venue options to helping you shape your own vows.
A Celebrant Who Welcomes Every Couple
If you've struggled to find a celebrant who truly welcomes every couple, you're in the right place. Amanda is proudly LGBTQ+ affirming and open-minded about faith, culture and family structure.
Every couple is given the same care, respect and creative attention.
Local Knowledge From Someone Born and Bred on the Peninsula
Amanda isn't a fly-in-fly-out celebrant — she grew up here. That means practical help choosing your spot, whether it's a vineyard at Red Hill, a clifftop at Point Nepean, a garden at Mount Martha or a quiet beach at Flinders. It also means Amanda knows the logistics: tide times, wind on exposed lookouts, and which venues need a wet-weather backup.
Amanda provides wedding celebrant services right across the region, including:
Use Heat Styling Responsibly
05
When blow-drying, begin by drying the extension bonds and surrounding natural hair using a low to medium heat setting before styling as desired.
To protect the integrity of the hair, never use hot tools exceeding 200°C (392°F). Consistent heat protection will help maintain softness, shine, and longevity.
Protect Your Hair While Swimming
08
Chlorine, salt water, and prolonged moisture exposure can affect the condition of your extensions.
If you swim regularly, wearing a swimming cap is highly recommended. While it may not be the most glamorous accessory, it is one of the most effective ways to protect your investment and extend the lifespan of your hair.
