A STAND-UP CELEBRANT
PAUL BONADIO
Have the best damn ceremony ever.
Unforgettable ceremonies from one of Melbourne’s best marriage celebrants (i.e. me!).
Why choose Paul as your Celebrant?
Great question. Thanks for asking. I’m one of Melbourne’s most popular celebrants. It’s been that way since 2016 (am I getting old? Never).
I LOVE being a celebrant. It’s like slapping down a draw-four wildcard. It’s like beating Rainbow Road on Mario Kart. It’s like… you get the picture.
What else you got?
I offer Pimp My Celebrant (choose what I wear!) and Love to LOLs (pick your balance of laughs to sentimentality).
I’m a wedding celebrant based in Melbourne. I travel to Mornington, Yarra Valley, Geelong, Melbourne and beyond. I’m repeating ‘Melbourne’ because it’s great for Google search.
Ok, but be even more real…
I want to be at your wedding and create a ceremony your guests won’t stop talking about. I want to write about how you met, what you enjoy about each other, and why one of you snores like a German trooper.
I can’t build a cupboard. I’m awful at fractions. I barely know how to cook a jaffle. The things you are passionate about in life are the things you do best.
This is what I do best.

I'm blushing over here...
Sarah + John
Paul made us feel relaxed and made us feel like old friends straight off the bat! He made the whole process so easy and so relaxed and produced a amazingly funny and genuine ceremony for us. Stand up Man.
Ten stars out of Five.
Luke + Vicki
Paul was exceptional. From the initial contact through to the ceremony, Paul was professional, punctual, detail oriented, and an all-around awesome guy. He really helped make our day special and we really can't recommend him enough.
Dana + Andrew
Amazing funny guy and great for couples that want humour in their ceremony !! Everyone at our wedding raved about Paul and his I incredible script he personalised for us. Get ready for some laughs on your wedding day as this guy delivers!!
Lien + Andrew
Paul was everything we wanted in a celebrant. He was funny, spoke well, presentable and he really took the time to tell our story much better than we ever could. We had so many friends and family comment on how enjoyable he made our ceremony.
Tatum + Adam
Paul was one of, if not the best decision we made for our wedding. He had the perfect mix of funny one-liners and romantic stories that had all of our guests laughing in hysterics one second and then gushing in tears the next.
Mel + James
Paul was probably our absolute favourite vendor from our wedding. Our guests said our ceremony was the best one they've ever witnessed. They thought Paul was a good, long time friend. He nailed the script so well and we are honestly forever thankful.
Sarah + Ben
Paul was the perfect combination of love and humor. He set the tone early on and straight away had everyone's attention and we've had nothing but... 'your celebrant was the best celebrant we've ever seen' feedback from so many guests! Highly recommended!!!
Paulina + Daniel
Paul was a dream to work with, making us feel comfortable and at ease from day dot. Our guests couldn't stop raving about our entertaining, humorous and 'perfectly us' ceremony, which is a testament to the way Paul put together and told our stories.
Jacinta + Ryan
Paul did an absolutely perfect job of our ceremony. After our wedding, my husband said it perfectly - it's so obvious that Paul does his job because he really does love it. We had so many comments from our guests about how fantastic a job Paul did.

PIMP MY CELEBRANT
Outfit of the month - Age of Beige
Is it an ivory tusk dealer? No. Is it a lady’s waistcoat from Country Road? Nuh-uh. Is it the latest outfit from ‘Pimp My Celebrant’? You’re darn tootin’ it is.
Introducing: Age of Beige.
I’ve been looking for a beige vest since Blockbuster went under. And this thing was harder to find than Carmen Sandiego.
Combine it with a tie straight from grandpop’s basement and a beard modelled on a convicted felon, and you’ve got a summer blockbuster primed for wedding season.
