Larry Summerville - The Celebrant

I’m Larry Summerville and I believe a wedding is all about the participants.

A wedding should be fun and inclusive, that means the guests as well.

I’d love to natter with you and get your back-story, to produce a unique ceremony that meets your needs and the legal requirements.

Life is too short, and it’s not a dress rehearsal, so let’s have fun!

About Me

I’ve been married for 49 years and love the formal coupling that is marriage. The longevity of being with your best friend can overcome all. Public speaking has always been a passion of mine, so after being asked to MC many a wedding, through my family and broadcasting connections, I thought, why not take this to the next stage and become a celebrant.

I have been lucky enough to officiate many weddings and always appreciate the positive feedback that comes back to me about the ceremonies being unique and personal. My number one goal is to make sure you feel heard and you and your loved ones feel celebrated.

I welcome your questions and look forward to getting to know you.
