Hello
Your celebrantMeet Your Celebrant
Hello, I’m Rushmi
I believe a ceremony should sound like you — your story, your humour, your people, the small details that make your love unmistakably yours. As an authorised Melbourne marriage celebrant, I create ceremonies that feel warm, unhurried and beautifully personal.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a grand wedding, or a heartfelt vow renewal, I take care of the words and the legal paperwork so you can simply be present. I’m organised, calm under pressure, and genuinely honoured to stand beside you on one of life’s biggest days.
Based in Melbourne and travelling across Victoria, I’m proud to celebrate every kind of love — including culturally meaningful South Asian, Indian and Sri Lankan ceremonies that honour family, ritual and tradition alongside Australian legal requirements.
