Dave Octave Celebrant

Choosing a wedding celebrant is about so much more than finding someone to stand at the front and read a script. It’s about choosing someone who understands you, listens to your story, and brings your ceremony to life in a way that feels genuinely you. I create bespoke wedding ceremonies that are personal, meaningful, and a joy to be part of — never awkward, never generic, and never boring. Your ceremony should be the heart of your wedding day: the moment that brings everyone together, sets the tone, and leaves lasting memories for you and your guests. From our first conversation, my focus is entirely on you as a couple. I take time to get to know how you met, what makes your relationship tick, and what kind of ceremony you want to experience. Every ceremony is written from scratch and crafted to reflect your personalities, values, and love story. Whether you’re thinking something relaxed and romantic, full of laughter, or a lovely mix of heartfelt and fun. My approach is all about creating ceremonies that feel warm, personal and memorable, with plenty of smiles and moments that really reflect the couple at the heart of it all. I guide you through the whole process, keeping things simple, supportive, and stress-free. From shaping your vows to calming any nerves, you’ll feel confident and looked after every step of the way. On the day itself, I’m calm, confident, and fully present. I set the tone, help everyone feel at ease, and make sure your ceremony flows beautifully. Guests often say it feels like I’ve known the couple for years — which is exactly how it should feel. If you’re looking for a celebrant who will champion your story, celebrate your love, and deliver a ceremony that feels authentic, engaging, and full of heart — I’d love to be part of your journey.

My clients are those who want a fun and personalised yet sincere ceremony that represents who they are. My clients want a ceremony that is the start of the party, not just the bit for the drinks start!
