Kerstyn Walsh Celebrant

Meet Kerstyn Walsh: Wit. Warmth. A Wedding to Remember.

If you’re looking for a celebrant who’ll have your guests laughing one minute and crying the next (in the best way), you’re in the right place! I’m Kerstyn; a bright, upbeat, professional party-starter who specialises in creating wedding ceremonies that feel so completely you.

With 15 years’ experience as a professional wedding MC and a lifetime on stage (think jazz hands, High School Musical, and a mic I never wanted to put down), becoming a celebrant was less of a career change and more of a coming home.

I’ve now had the honour of marrying hundreds of couples across Australia, and I’m known for crafting heartfelt, hilarious, and unforgettable ceremonies that make you feel like the main characters, and never like you’re “on display.”

I don’t just read the room, I feel it. I take time to get to know you both, write your story with warmth and wit, and involve your guests in a way that makes them feel part of something truly special (and not just waiting for the bar to open!).

My background also includes founding Hire a Bridesmaid, Australia’s first ever bridesmaid-for-hire biz, so let’s just say I know weddings inside and out, and I’m a pro at calming nerves, fixing last-minute mishaps, and making magic happen on the day.

If you’re planning a wedding that’s equal parts fun and meaningful, relaxed but full of heart, with a ceremony that’ll be the surprise favourite part of the day then let’s talk! I’d be honoured to tell your story.
