Hi, my name is Dave
I’m a Celebrant with a sense of adventure.
The Wandering Celebrant
Dave McLaughlin
Commonwealth-appointeD celebrant
Talented. Handsome. Humble. Yes, I wrote this myself.
If you ask my friends and family, they’ll describe me as a loveable larrikin who celebrates life as one big adventure.
What began as an opportunity to officiate one of my best friends’ weddings has now blossomed into a genuine passion, celebrating love with people of all ages, genders and religions.
Away from my 9-5 as an Exercise Physiologist working in Indigenous Health, I love to travel the world, discovering new and ancient marvels, remote hidden gems and thriving cities with my wonderful partner.
We have three young babies (two covered in fur), and they all keep us on our toes.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to oversee our wedding day. Dave is professional, extremely dedicated to the couples he works with, and has a genuine nature that really shines through in his work.
I would recommend The Wandering Celebrant to anyone looking for a celebrant to make their wedding day that little bit more special.”
