Michelle Shannon - Marriage Celebrant
Creating a Ceremony to remember
Byron Bay - Ballina - Lismore - Bangalow - Hinterland - Gold Coast
My goal is to give you the wedding you've always dreamed of.
A wedding that reflects your unique personality and style.
A modern wedding that you and your guests will delight in.
I will also travel further South and North to your destinations -
so don't be afraid to ask..
Byron Bay and the Hinterland
offers so many different &
wonderful settings.
The choice is endless -
warm, relaxing and memorable.
I grew up living in this beautiful part of the world and over the past 20 years
I have been lucky enough to have travelled extensively with my professions.
I can honestly say Byron Bay is still my favorite place to be.
I'm a romantic at heart and a ceremony I attended some time ago inspired me to become a Marriage Celebrant and I hope to bring the same kind of
modern professionalism and enjoyment to your special day.
Married 3 years ago myself
I understand the importance of every aspect of this wonderful day.

Hi Michelle!
We haven't been able to stop reliving our special day!! Thank you so much for everything, you were amazing! We had so many people come up to us later on and tell us how fabulous you are at what you do and how perfect the vows were (especially the "time out" bit for Troy!!). You really made the ceremony so personal and it was even better than would have imagined.
Thanks again and all the best, Bec & Troy xx

Dear Michelle
We both had a great time on our wedding day and we couldn't be happier with the work our "super team" did for us both leading up to the day and on the day itself.
We felt that you really understood our needs and you played a huge roll in creating the "feel" that we were after.
Thanks again for your help, we couldn't be happier with everything you did for us, and it was wonderful to have somebody as nice as you involved in our special day.
Regards Tony & Nicole Romeo

First of all, thank you so much for a wonderful ceremony, we are so glad we chose you to be our celebrant. Craig and I both said that we would not hesitate to recommend you as a celebrant to anyone. You were so relaxed and yet confident in what you do that it transcended to us, and the little personal things you do, like the photo frame with my poem in, it was beautiful! and the photo of the three of us.
Thank you for not just being a celebrant but being like a close friend.
Kind Regards Tammy and Craig
P.S You were so right about the speed of the ceremony, it goes by so quickly that I would love to do it again tomorrow. Maybe we'll renew our vows with you every year, in the same spot
