I’M NOT HERE TO marry you AND MOVE ON.
I’M HERE TO MAKE THE MOMENT land.
Because I know you’ve been to those weddings.
The ceremony’s fine.
The words sound… nice.
But no one really feels it.
Everyone’s checking the time. The couple’s waiting for the drinks to start.
Not here. Not with me.
About Amber Gillam Celebrant, Brisbane-based Marriage Celebrant & MC
How it all began...
THE FIRST TIME I SAW A CELEBRANT REALLY hold a room, I WAS HOOKED.
She was warm, modern, elegant — and absolutely nailed it.
I turned to my husband and said,
“That. I want to do that.”
Years (and two babies) later, I finally backed myself.
Got accredited. Started small. Found my voice.
Now, hundreds of ceremonies later, I know exactly where I’m meant to be...
STANDING ALONGSIDE COUPLES, TELLING their stories WITH CARE, calm, AND CONFIDENCE.
I’M NOT HERE TO PUT ON A show. AND I’M CERTAINLY NOT HERE TO “wing it.”
I’m here to make your ceremony feel effortless, not awkward.
Personal, never performative.
Warm, real, and impossible to forget.

This isn’t a copy–paste situation. It’s personal, intentional, and built around you.
From our first conversation to the moment you’re walking back down the aisle as newlyweds, I’m guiding you through it all.
You’ll get:
A relaxed planning chat to get to know each other (and make sure the vibe is right)
A ceremony crafted from scratch. Modern, meaningful, and SO you
Vow-writing support (because those words matter, and I’ve got your back)
A polished, professional delivery on the day. Equal parts warmth and presence
All legal bits handled with no stress, no confusion. Because getting married shouldn't mean admin
And the result?
A ceremony that feels effortless, emotional, and impossible to forget.
JUST A MOMENT THAT FEELS LIKE YOU — AT YOUR BEST.
NO cringey JOKES. NO filler. AND NEVER ANY EGO.
LET’S JUST SAY I’M not YOUR STOCK-STANDARD CELEBRANT. AND THAT’S exactly WHY YOU’RE HERE.
I’m a mum to two teenage girls. Married to a builder who can fix just about anything. Our best mate is our Staffy, Hero and the real boss of the house.
I’m big on charcuterie boards and I go soft for a tub of Ben & Jerry’s.
I’ve been a performative dancer since I was 6, think jazz hands, fancy hair do’s, leotards, the whole lot.
I’ve got a thing for bold earrings, good heels, and music up loud.
I’m warm, stylish, and know how to read a room. And when it’s time to bring the vibe, you can count on me to show up.
My favourite moment? Always the same.
THE SPLIT SECOND WHEN ONE PARTNER SEES THE OTHER WALKING IN.
WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FADES, AND IT’S AS IF IT’S just them, AND NO ONE ELSE IN THE ROOM.
Eyes start to water. Chin trembles. Hearts skip.
That’s when the love hits.
And it never gets old.
IT’S NOT ABOUT just DOING THE LEGALS, OR SIMPLY ticking boxes.
It’s about creating something real — a moment that actually lands.
That people talk about long after the champagne’s gone.
That you carry with you, forever.
That’s what I care about. And that’s why I show up the way I do.
THINK WE MIGHT BE A MATCH?
