Hi, I'm Janet Lomax, an authorised marriage celebrant in Balmain and have attached this short video to share with you my why I love being a full time dedicated civil marriage celebrant.
I'd love to hear about your plans for your special day, your people and the ceremony you're dreaming and help you turn your dreams into reality.
Janet was our wedding celebrant for our wedding at the Sydney Opera House, which made us feel very special on our special day! From the beginning, Janet was warm, professional, and incredibly supportive. She made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, and helped make our ceremony truly special and personal. We felt in very good hands, and everything went beautifully on the day. We're so grateful to Janet for being part of such an important moment in our lives. We couldn't recommend her highly enough to any couple looking for a wonderful celebrant!

As a dedicated civil marriage celebrant, I make sure you have a clear understanding of every step involved in planning your ceremony.
From our first conversation through to your wedding day, I will guide you through the legal requirements, ceremony planning, vows and final details so nothing feels confusing or overwhelming. My role is to keep the process organised, explain what needs to happen and help you feel calm, prepared and confident by the time your ceremony arrives. You can simply focus on each other, enjoy every moment, and leave the rest to me…
Reach out and tell me about you, your date and the day you're dreaming of.
We sit down together, in person or online, to get to know one another.
Personalise your wedding ceremony with my ceremony planner booklet and choose from 30+ vow options or write your own with my guidance.
