Celebrant from Japan

Congratulations on your decision to get married!

Now you need to organise all the fun stuff… finding a venue, outfits, flowers…
and a celebrant.

There are celebrants you randomly pick, they do paperwork with you and get you married.

There are celebrants you pick because of the personality and style, you get close to them, have a laugh, share the planning process.

I’m the one who you have a laugh with.
Japanese efficiency and quirkiness are included in the service too.

We’ll get to know each other.
You’ll feel someone you know is marrying you, rather than someone you just found online.

Sounds like your kind of celebrant?

My husband and I consider ourselves very lucky to have found Megumi. She is just gorgeous. Such a good energy about... her. Add to that - very professional, organised, friendly and clearly a kind hearted soul. It was really important to us to have someone officiate our marriage that reflected kindness, acceptance and love in all forms. Megumi brings a sense of calm, clarity, focus and light fun to your big day. I couldn't stop hugging her! Thank you so much Megumi for making our small, intimate ceremony full of magic. Highly recommend xoxoxoread more

Megumi was brilliant right from the get go. She was very communicative to me and my now wife, she was very flexible... with meeting times and dates and everything was laid out well in advance of the wedding. She made it very easy for my wife and I leading up to the ceremony. And on the day of the ceremony she was there on time, spoke to the people she needed to speak to and got everything set up without a fuss. Megumi's English is fluent and her Japanese is too. 5 stars and then some.read more

We were very happy to choose Megumi as the celebrant for our wedding. First of all, she tried to know about us with a... smell meeting. (How we met, what was the word for propose, etc). When we had some questions after the meeting, she answered clearly and quickly with mails. Megumi performed our ceremony in both English and Japanese, so my parents could understand our ceremony. She even really cared about my wedding dress's hem. ( We had our wedding in the park, so lots of leaves and grasses stuck my dress's hem!!)I thought she had Japanese- like kind-hearted.💕 If you are looking for your celebrant, we strongly recommend Megumi !! Finally, I can't thank you enough, Megumi. Thank you so much for your help. From our bottom of heart. Maiko, Martin Jamesread more

We are so glad to have chosen Megumi as celebrant at our wedding. We had a very small and mostly DIY wedding that... nearly ran later than planned but on the day Megumi was very understanding and even helped us during our prep as we, the bride and groom, rushed to get everything ready. She was an absolute pleasure to have! She takes time to get to know you not only before or during the ceremony, but makes effort afterwards to keep in touch with her client through socials. It shows that she really cares and adds a little intimate touch to your journey. On top of all this, she will always cheer you up with her colourful outfits and bright personality. Thanks again, M! xo, E & Cread more

Megumi was the celebrant for our wedding and my husband and I couldn't have been happier with how the ceremony went.... Megumi first took the time to get to know us personally through some very casual meetings where she was genuinely interested in how I met my husband and how our relationship led up to our wedding day. Megumi performed our ceremony in both English and Japanese as we live steamed it to our family in Japan. Megumi made our wedding day very special for us with some fun moments and true professionalism. We are so happy we chose Megumi to be our wedding celebrant and we have no hesitation in recommending Megumi to anyone considering her to be their celebrant on such a special day.read more

Megumi Carver is everything you could ask for in a celebrant! My wife and I wanted to do a registry style wedding to... end the year. I found Megumi via Instagram and online search leading me to her website. Her website is clear and provides a lot clarity to some of the questions you may already have. Megumi responded to our initial inquiry promptly and was available on a month's notice - lifesaver! Communication over the phone and email was a breeze. Megumi is very welcoming and professional, as you'll feel at ease asking even the most simplest questions. She is absolutely easy to get along with, as she will get to know you and your partner to better understand the relationship - share some stories, have some laughs. All in all, super personable and fun. For the ceremony, Megumi was the first to arrive and delivered a memorable and intimate ceremony for us and our guests. You can tell she enjoys being a part of one of the most important days of your life, so if you're considering which celebrant to be a part of your day? Look no further than Megumi!read more

Megumi is truly ONE-OF-A-KIND. We are so grateful we found this celebrant-unicorn!! We found Megumi just a little over... a month prior to our wedding. We had decided to go full-speed ahead after sitting on the fence watching the covid restrictions start to roll back. Choosing a celebrant within such a short period was another layer of added stress, but finding Megumi was like a mirage in a sea of covid-wedding-stress! COMMUNICATION: Megumi responded to our email enquiry within 24 hours. She gave us all the information we required upfront and her fee structure was super simple. (Other quotes we had reviewed had so many hidden additional costs). We met twice before our wedding day due to time constraints but Megumi was very clear and provided us with easy guidance on the ceremony and vows. SERVICE / CEREMONY: The theme for our wedding was 'Colourful Spring Fiesta' and she nailed it with flying colours!! We had so many comments from friends and family that Megumi was an absolute beacon of light. She brought warmth and energy to our wedding and the ceremony was so personable and true to us, that it felt like we had a good friend right beside us. If you are looking for a celebrant that is warm, easy-going, cost effective with quality service - then Megumi is your lady. She is just the right balance of fresh, cool and personable vibes... and at the right price. Side Note: I researched ALOT of celebrants and they were either fuddy-duddies or super expensive and way too flamboyant.read more

Megumi married myself and my beautiful wife Yuki about a month ago. Honestly, we can't thank her enough! Our wedding... wouldn't have been the great success it was without her. She was able to translate for the guests from Japan and also explain some Japanese traditions to the Australian guests. She really tied everyone together and made the experience so comfortable. I've got a million and one amazing things I could say about Megumi so I really don't know where to start. Couldn't recommend her enough!!read more

Having Megumi as our celebrant was the best thing! We had a short time spending our planning together however on the... day I met her to plan the ceremony I felt like I have known her forever. She was great to talk to and it was easy to get to know her. On the wedding day she had a great and warming words even I would never think of. I loved the way she made us feel comfortable on a stressful day. She is fun and energetic and so much laughter on day. Thank you Megumi for making our day special!read more

Our beautiful intimate ceremony overlooking Bondi Beach on a lovely Saturday morning was made possible by Megumi as our... celebrant. It was such a special moment that we will remember forever. Throughout the whole process she remained present and listened to our wishes. It was so great to meet with her before the ceremony, and she made sure that our ceremony would be exactly what we wanted it to be: grounded, romantic, peaceful and filled with joy and love. She will definitely give you the best and most authentic experience. We give our highest and warmest recommendations for Megumi.read more

We highly recommend Megumi!read more

We are SO happy that we found Megumi! She created a wonderful and heartfelt atmosphere at the ceremony - what a... memorable night! She looked after my family and made sure they are okay (they are from Japan and they don’t know much English). She went above and beyond our expectations. She didn’t only marry us but s he also understood our style and created a ceremony that was SO US! Cannot thank her enough. You are amazing, Megumi! Thank you.read more
