The heart and soul behind Hitched by Hayley. 

I’m an authorised marriage celebrant based in Melbourne, and I can’t wait to be part of your special day, helping you create a celebration that’s as unique and beautiful as your love!

My journey as a celebrant started in the most unexpected, yet unforgettable way. I had the joy of being the MC at my best friends' wedding. I loved every second of being part of that beautiful day, bringing joy, laughter, and a bit of magic. That’s when I realised I knew I’d found something I was truly passionate about.

Being a marriage celebrant is everything I am. I love love - there’s just something so incredible about seeing people completely happy, especially when they’re in love. But love isn’t just between partners, it’s shared with family, friends, and the amazing connections we have with the people who matter most. I truly enjoy being a part of those moments, witnessing love in all its beautiful forms.

Oh, and I’m all about celebrating anything - and anyone who knows me will tell you that! Whether it’s a milestone or a simple, everyday win, I believe there’s always a reason to celebrate. Life’s too short not to find joy in the little things. So, being a celebrant? It just makes sense. 

Alongside this beautiful gig, I’m also a registered nurse - a role that’s given me the privilege of being there for people during some of life’s most emotional and intimate moments. It’s an experience that’s shaped me in a big way. It’s taught me how to be calm in the chaos, how to show up with empathy, and how to truly be there for someone. These are the same qualities I bring into every ceremony I create: steady, supportive, and grounded, so that you feel completely relaxed and truly yourselves on your big day.

To me, being a celebrant is more than a job - it’s the absolute honour of celebrating love in all its loud, joyful, messy, real, and magical forms.

Let’s make something incredible together - and have a bloody good time doing it.
