Wedding industry

Wedding industry websites built by someone who's done 2,000+ weddings.

I have spent 17 years as one of Australia's busiest wedding celebrants — over 1,000 weddings and 1,200 elopements across 23 countries. I didn't just build websites for wedding businesses. I was one. I know how couples search, what they need to see, and what makes them enquire.

01 — Industry knowledge

I don't need to research the wedding industry. I lived it.

Most web developers building wedding sites have never been to a wedding as a vendor. They don't know how couples search, what information they need before enquiring, or how seasonal the business is. They build a pretty page and hope for the best.

I know that couples searching for a celebrant in February are planning a spring wedding. I know that a photographer's portfolio matters more than their about page. I know that venues need to show capacity, pricing transparency, and availability — not just photos. I know this because I've worked alongside every type of wedding vendor for nearly two decades.

I co-founded the Elopement Collective with my wife Britt. I co-created the Celebrant Institute, which has mentored over 10,000 celebrants globally. I'm a lifetime member of the International Association of Professional Wedding Officiants. This isn't a niche I chose to target — it's the industry I grew up in.

04 — Who this is for

Every type of wedding professional.

Whether you're a solo celebrant, a photography team, a boutique planner, or a venue — the fundamentals are the same. Your website needs to load fast, look beautiful, rank on Google, and be readable by AI. I build for all of these audiences, with industry-specific knowledge that no generic web developer has.

Celebrants and officiants

I know this role inside out. Your website needs personality, trust signals, and location-based SEO that brings enquiries.

Photographers and videographers

Portfolio-driven design that loads fast. Your work speaks — your website just needs to get out of the way and rank.

Planners and coordinators

Service clarity, process transparency, and the trust signals couples need before handing over their wedding day.

Florists and stylists

Visual-first design with fast image loading. Your work is beautiful — your website should match.

Venues and estates

Capacity, pricing, availability, and galleries. The information couples actually need to enquire.

Music, entertainment, and hire

DJs, bands, photo booths, hire companies — service listings, pricing, and availability that convert.
