Celebrant and MC

Hi, I’m Lauren!

I love the excitement of plot twists and the thrill of suspense. I deeply appreciate misdirection, observational humour, and the way everyone gasps when the context lands and the punchline hits, just right.⁠

⁠My business is writing Rom-Coms.

Each of my ceremonies are completely unique to the couples they celebrate. Designed to reflect a tangle of two different perspectives; taking couples and their guests on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Belly laughing one minute, in tears the next.

Sometimes that’s exploring quiet romance, sometimes it’s telling tales of outrageous antics. Maybe it's all-consuming love or an easy friendship. Maybe it's inside jokes or unwavering support. Maybe every guest knows every detail or maybe we can surprise them by filling in the blanks.⁠

My goal is for everyone to feel connected; to the moment, to you and to each other.

The atmosphere remains relaxed and unforced. Warm enough that your guests feel comfortable to laugh or cry beside the people they’ve only just met, and engaging enough that they’ll still be talking about your ceremony long after you’ve slipped away to celebrate.

Whatever your story is, I want to share it. With cheek and charm, honesty and sincerity, and so much enthusiasm I could literally burst at the seams.⁠

Laughs, tears, gasps and swoons: the signatures of a great story.

‘The Big Show’

‘The Big Show’ is a completely personalised ceremony, written entirely from scratch. It speaks your language, captures who you are - individually and as a couple - and reflects the nuances of your relationship. It truly is a celebration, not only of the love you share, but the circle you keep and the life you’ve built.

My goal is for all your guests to feel as though they’re watching their favourite film - only they know the main characters and your story is also, in a way, theirs too. What matters most to me is that the words are true (although, let’s face it, often exaggerated) and are unmistakably you.

This is all achieved through connection and collaboration. I prioritise building a relationship with each of my couples, so that I can understand who you are as people. Not just the wedding-day version, but the real, everyday way you exist. The questionnaire you fill out (separately) gives me clarity on what is most meaningful to each of you. Then your vows act as the context I build the entire story around.

From there, I write a ceremony that is completely character-driven. The pacing, the tone, the plot - everything is shaped by your words, your humour and your history. The story becomes a journey that’s both nostalgic and hopeful; romance in its most honest form, centred around two real people who choose to be together. Not because they have to, but because they want to.

The story explores not just why you’re together, but how you are together. The effect you have on each other and the people around you. The joy and the chaos. Your vows will always be the natural crescendo, when everything clicks into place. This is to ensure the weight and the depth of your words is felt by everyone, especially you.

The ceremony itself will be unlike anything you’ve seen before, because there is no story like yours.

Generally, The Big Show runs for 15-25 minutes and includes: access to my Ceremony Design Guide, tailored vendor recommendations, thoughtful suggestions on how to enhance your wedding day experience, assistance with Vow Writing, preparation and lodgement of all legal documents, BDM issued Marriage Certificate, the use of my Bluetooth PA System - Bose S1 Pro and unlimited Hype Queen Energy.

Add: ‘The MC Gig’

When I’m hosting your wedding reception, my priorities are in shaping the atmosphere, guiding the experience and ensuring each moment speaks to the next. My intention is for you to feel completely present, enjoy the atmosphere, and move through a celebration that unfolds effortlessly around you.

After sharing your ceremony, I am deeply invested in the overall narrative of your day. I collaborate with my couples and their speechmakers to achieve a layered approach to storytelling, giving your guests the chance to discover new pieces of your story as the evening progresses. I find this creates a wedding day that feels thoughtful, intentional and most importantly, a true reflection of who you are.

Signatures of my favourite events are high energy, sincerity that softens the entire room and extremely chaotic dancefloors.

What you can expect from me as your MC:

Personal commentary and intentional time-keeping to keep your celebration moving with rhythm and purpose.
Direct liaison with your vendor team to ensure a smooth, cohesive, and well-orchestrated day, without you needing to make decisions or be pulled away from the moment.
Guidance and strategic support in building a timeline designed for connection and atmosphere.
Review and assistance with speech writing, ensuring clarity, pacing, and a cohesive narrative throughout the evening.
Coordination and guidance of family photos post-ceremony.
A reliable, reassuring presence for you and your wedding party whenever needed.

‘The Little Show’

‘The Little Show’ is the equivalent to an old fashioned registry wedding. This wedding party includes you and your love, your two witnesses and me to officiate the legal marriage! Lasting no longer than 3 minutes, it’s a bit of a blur, if i’m honest!

2-3 minutes, in total.

No personalisation - legal components only.

Ceremonies are held in Newcastle - an extra fee will apply for travel.

’The Little Show’ is included in all Overseas Elopement Packages.

The second I hear of someone looking for a wedding celebrant, I shout stop what you are doing IMMEDIATELY and book Loz from Hungry Hearts Co because is the absolute BEST in the biz.

She is a ray of sunshine in human form, pure magic, and without a doubt one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding day. Our ceremony could not have been more perfect.

Loz had us laughing, crying and every emotion in between as she shared our love story – some of our guests even thought we were old friends the way Loz was able to capture ‘us’ so perfectly.

This amazing lady is the special sauce that you absolutely need for the most spectacular and unforgettable wedding ceremony ever.

— Beckie and Lachie

From the moment I first reached out to Loz, I knew she was the perfect celebrant for us. She felt like an extension of our bridal party—not just our celebrant, but our biggest fan, support system, and constant source of hype. She checked in on us regularly, both before and after the big day, always making us feel so supported and cared for.

Loz is worth her weight in gold with her wealth of knowledge and experience. She went above and beyond for us, just as much as she does for all of her couples (so I’ve heard!). Along with her guides, ‘How to Ceremony’, and ‘How to Vow’, she helped draft our vows and craft the most memorable and personalised ceremony.

She had our guests both in tears and fits of laughter, seamlessly sharing our story with such candidness and humour. To this day, our friends and family still remind us how amazing the ceremony was. Loz truly set the tone for the entire day, and if we could relive it all over again, we’d do it in a heartbeat—with her by our side.

She jokingly warned us she’d stick to us like glue, but now we’re the ones attached—we simply can’t let her go! Loz’s genuine care for her couples is unmatched, and I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough.

— Sarah and Jack

WHERE DO WE EVEN START?

Loz and Rhys were a literal dream. From the moment we enquired with Hungry Hearts Co we knew they had to be a part of our day. They both made the entire process so, so easy and gave us every bit of information we could possibly need. They are sooooo knowledgeable about this industry and have thought of EVERYTHING for you!

Loz is honestly incredible with her words and all of the ceremony details. She told our story with so much love and so much fun!!! Loz really made our ceremony absolutely perfect.

Rhys’s attention to detail is amazing, we received our sneak peek THE NEXT DAY and every single shot is BREATHTAKING. We cannot wait to see what else he’s created for us. Not to mention how comfortable he made us feel throughout the day - He was so much fun!

Both Loz and Rhys were absolute vibes and honestly so so nice to be around. I cannot stress enough that you NEED THEM. If we were getting married again and Loz and Rhys were booked out, we would literally cancel to whole thing to fit them in!

We are so grateful for the work you both do!

There are an absolute abundance of ways to make every moment of your wedding personal and outrageously enjoyable, to help you feel completely at ease, to engage and entertain your guests, to make everyone feel as though they have a role to play in your story and most importantly, to ensure that you feel as though you’ve been a part of the experience, rather than getting lost in hosting it for everyone else.
