MY STORy

My name is Maxine Lowry After a career in teaching and counselling, ‘hitching’ is now my full time gig. I love performing ‘micro’ ceremonies, elopements, and ‘legals only’ affairs for couples who want to be married ‘without the fuss’! Over the years, I have notched up over 1500 ceremonies!

I can help you find the perfect location for your marriage ceremony; it may be in my garden or elsewhere in the great outdoors, a hip hotel or Airbnb, or somewhere warm and cozy like your own lounge room.

When I am not marrying people, I enjoy travel, my ‘senior’ labradoodle, and sampling new gin labels!

The moment we meet with Maxine we knew that we had chosen the right person to marry us and to go on our "surprise wedding" journey with us. Maxine was very engaging and her communication was second to none. She captured the whole room at our wedding. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a celebrant.

There are no words to express how grateful Dave and I are for all your efforts both on the day and on the lead up to our perfect wedding.

Your professionalism, attention to detail, relaxed persona and ability to capture our personalities perfectly at such short notice was amazing.

The ceremony was fun, relaxed, unique, individual to us, and just the way we wanted it - all thanks to you. We couldn't recommend anyone better.

YOUR OPTIONS

You may wish to marry in a ‘legals only’ manner; some couples just wish to ‘get hitched’ with ZERO fuss, over a coffee, bubbles… or even with your fur babies sitting on your laps

OR

you may wish to retain some tradition, including a bit of a ceremony with a few loved ones who are along for the ride. I will work with you to create a ‘bespoke’ ceremony that celebrates your story, your personalities and captures your ‘vibe’.

I have a beautifully appointed marriage room in my 'Circa 1890' home and a private formal garden - offered at no cost to you.

Thank you for your contribution to making our wedding a success….we were absolutely thrilled with how it all turned out.

We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for doing such a lovely job of our wedding 😊 We were so pleased with the ceremony and your professionalism, and levity.

OMG so much fun, we never could have imagined just how perfect it would be. We felt so safe in your capable hands and the stress we expected to feel (organising our elopement from interstate - what could possibly go wrong) - was non existent. Thanks again for everything, including your recommendation of the stunning Japanese Gardens!
