Tricia Karp Celebrant

I'm Tricia, a Melbourne-based celebrant and very happy to travel beyond the borders too :)

Before becoming a celebrant I worked in the media as a journalist and news presenter on TV (Channel 7) and radio (commercial stations and ABC), voice artist and professional emcee, and then training and coaching people to speak powerfully on stages around the world, including TEDx events.

I love writing and I'm a natural storyteller. I've written three published books. Unlike most people, I also love standing on a stage and speaking. Presenting to an audience and creating a feeling of connection for everyone in the room warms the cockles of my heart. I love it.

As a journalist I loved meeting people and listening to their stories and that's something I continue to love as a celebrant. I'm someone people feel comfortable opening their hearts to and sharing their stories with and I consider that a privilege.

That's enough about me! It's your wedding, and the reason you're here is to find the right celebrant for you. I'm not the celebrant for everyone (no-one can be) so I think it's important to tell you about my approach.

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. It might be the only time you stand up in front of family and friends (if you choose to get married that way) and declare your love for one another so openly. It's exciting and can be nerve-wrecking and there's no take-two.

My goal is to make the process of working together, from the moment we first speak until that magical moment when you're presented to your guests as officially married, as easy and stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I'm committed to providing you with a professional service, sincere reverence for your love and how special your wedding is, sophistication, warmth and great care. I'm authentic, heartfelt and fun too, and will tailor my style to the type of ceremony that best expresses who you are.

Your ceremony is so incredibly special. It also sets the tone for the rest of your celebrations. You deserve nothing but the best on your big day. Just like you, I want your wedding day to be one of the most awesome days of your life. My deepest wish for you is that whenever you think about your wedding ceremony years later you'll smile and feel joyful.

I offer the following services:

Wedding celebrancy - for weddings of all sizes
Funeral celebrancy
MC services at weddings (with a significant saving if you book for me as your celebrant and MC)
Speech writing, including wedding speeches and eulogies

Let's work together to create a ceremony that tells your unique story, celebrates your love, and is unforgettable - for all the right reasons.
