Melbourne Marriage Celebrant
Modern, personal ceremonies created so you feel calm, present and supported.
Greek and English ceremonies available.
My approach
I'm Irene Palamaras, a Melbourne marriage celebrant and wedding celebrant creating ceremonies that feel personal, thoughtful and genuinely reflective of each couple.
Whether you're planning a refined city wedding, a winery celebration in the Yarra Valley, or an intimate gathering with close family and friends, every ceremony is shaped around your story, your values and what matters most to you.
I work with couples from all backgrounds across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Many of the couples I work with want to include cultural traditions that carry real meaning. Greek and English bilingual ceremonies are something I offer regularly, including the stefana tradition. Every ceremony is tailored to the couple regardless of background.
What I offer
A range of ceremony styles are available, from intimate elopements and registry style ceremonies through to fully bespoke platinum weddings and legals-only services. Every ceremony is prepared carefully and tailored to the couple.
Services include:
Ceremony writing and script preparation
All legal paperwork, from the Notice of Intended Marriage through to marriage registration
Rehearsal coordination and guidance
Greek and English bilingual ceremonies, including the stefana ritual
How I Work
Every legal requirement is handled carefully and correctly, from the Notice of Intended Marriage through to registration.
From preparing legal paperwork to shaping your ceremony, coordinating rehearsals and guiding the day itself, every step is organised and supportive. You will always know exactly what's happening and what comes next.
The aim is simple: for you to feel calm, informed and never overwhelmed on your wedding day.
A few common questions
Do you perform bilingual Greek and English wedding ceremonies?
Yes. I regularly work with couples wanting to honour their Greek heritage and can incorporate bilingual Greek and English elements, including the stefana tradition.
Do you travel outside Melbourne for weddings?
Yes. I regularly officiate weddings across Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, and surrounding regions.
Can we create a ceremony that feels personal without it being overly formal?
Absolutely. Every ceremony is created to feel personal, relaxed and reflective of the couple.
What types of ceremonies do you offer?
A range of options are available to suit different couples, from fully personalised ceremonies to intimate elopements, registry style ceremonies and legals-only services.
How far in advance should we book?
Couples typically book between three and twenty months in advance. If you're working to a shorter timeline, it's always worth getting in touch to check availability.
If you're not quite sure where to start, that's perfectly okay. I would love to help.
