Marriage Celebrant packages

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, Redleaf Wollombi
Our darling Loz – what a gem! A true original, a storyteller supreme, and the kind of human who lights up a room just by walking into it. From the moment we met you, we knew you were the one – and no, we’re not talking about each other this time! You spun our love story into the most heartfelt, hilarious, and unforgettable ceremony – it was everything we hoped for and so much more. Then you slipped seamlessly into MC mode, holding the crowd like a seasoned pro (with a healthy dose of cheek and charm). Even when our goofy moments kicked in, you steered the ship like the legend you are. Honestly, you’ve redefined what a celebrant can be. No more snooze-worthy scripts or awkward pauses – just pure energy, love, and laughter. Thanks to you, the ceremony was hands-down our favourite part of the day. If you’re even thinking about booking Loz – don’t hesitate. Do it. She's salt of the earth, heart of gold, and absolutely unforgettable.

Maddyson and Josh, Redleaf Wollombi
Loz has the most uplifting and vibrant yet calming energy. Her ability to connect with people and get to know their vibe, their priorities and their love story is honestly incredible. Her presence on the day is also just amazing! Loz felt like a friend who had known us for years and our ceremony was the most perfect expression of our story with the right mix of heartfelt sentiments and humour - just like we had hoped. Our guests went from suspense, to laughter to happy tears and left on a high after the most beautiful ceremony. We will never forget it. We also hired Loz as our MC which was one of the best decisions we made. Loz’s ability to read the moment, pivot, make a plan and bring the vibe all while keeping it cool and relaxed is definitely the type of energy any couple could want on their wedding day. Loz is a woman with a plan that is executed in the best of ways, it feels fun, yet considered and true to the couple all while flowing seamlessly.

Laura and Tim, Figtree Byron Bay
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, Mona Farm
We can’t express how amazing the lovely Loz is. She told our love story like she’d been our besties for years! All our guests had never seen such a ceremony that was so true to the couple and fun. She has such a radiant energy that you just need on your special day. Our ceremony wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Amy and Harry, Villa Provence
Thanks to Loz, we were able to share the story of our life together with all our near and dear. It managed to be sincere, heartfelt yet also hilarious. Loz was so personable that some people thought she was a guest, not our celebrant! She worked the room like a god damn pro.

Laura and Sophie, Newcastle
We had the pleasure of Loz being our celebrant and MC and boy did we make the right choice in her. From the start, which was some email exchanges, Loz was an absolute delight - she even made words on the screen personify as bubbly and charming! Loz’s ‘How To’ guides were very helpful to my now husband and I in structuring what we wanted for our ceremony and for our vows. Loz really gets to know the ins and outs of a couple through her questionnaires, which are fun to complete as a couple over dinner and wine (her suggestion - yes, it’s the little touches). From then, we chatted with Loz over a few Zoom calls, each one providing lots and lots of tips and ideas about all things to do with our wedding, guests, timeline, from start to finish she had it all! On the Wedding Day, we got to see Loz in the flesh - she was beyond radiant, friendly, caring, and all round stunning. She made sure we both felt ready and comfortable for our ceremony. Our ceremony commenced with Loz telling the most beautiful version of our love story intertwining both humour and heart. We love how Loz helped us to write our vows so we weren’t echoing her in the ceremony (again, little touch but a big impact). The reception - again, Loz was a brilliant host; she beautifully introduced our guest speakers and problem-solved our timeline when it started to fall behind. So many friends and family were commenting on how fantastic the wonderful Loz was! Overall, we can’t recommend Loz enough and would give more stars if we could. Loz starts as a celebrant/MC and ends up feeling like a friend. Thanks so much again for playing your parts perfectly in our day! Lots of love xxxxxx

Isabella and Jeremy, Redleaf Wollombi
Loz is a true master of words! She twists and tangles words so beautifully to create a ceremony that is a story of two lovers. Our ceremony was so personal and meaningful and beautiful in every single way. Her help leading up to the wedding was so reassuring. Her guide on 'How to Vow' was legendary in every way and gave us so much structure and inspiration when it came to writing our vows. We also had Loz as our MC and gosh did she provide the best energy and greatest vibes! If you're after a celebrant/ poet/ hype girl/ vibe provider then Loz is definitely your girl!!!!

Elissa and Brian, Redleaf Wollombi
Lauren is simply something else, on another level of existence, in a league of her own. It’s not often you find someone who genuinely cares about your story, and tells it in a way that makes everyone laugh, cry, and truly feel it. She struck the perfect balance of humour and sincerity. She’s got a way with words and a way with people, and our day simply wouldn’t have been the same without her. We had SO many guests tell us ours was the best wedding ceremony they’d ever experienced, and honestly we owe 99% of that to Loz. We would 11/10 recommend her again and again and again!!

Grace and Tyler, Wallalong House
Without a shadow of a doubt in our minds, the most treasured part of the day was our ceremony. Loz knows exactly how to turn a brief into a magical fantasy land, and take all of your dearest friends and family along for the ride. Paired with cocktails and cheese, it was emotional rollercoaster of belly laughs and tears. The best day of our lives. If you want your guests to truly feel the love in the room at your ceremony, STOP what you’re doing and look no further than Lozzy. She’s worth her weight in DIAMONDS and so much more.

Rebecca and Jonny, Newcastle
Our ceremony was truly our favourite part of the day! The way Loz shared our story was something else! We wish we could relive it over and over again! Loz is incredible and our family & friends have not stopped talking about the ceremony and what an amazing job she did! It was so personal and so us! Loz had everyone laughing one minute and crying the next and kept everyone so entertained throughout the entire ceremony. It was so memorable and we will never ever forget the feeling! Not only the celebrant of our dreams but also MC! Loz kicked our reception off with an absolute BANG! Not only did she get the vibes high right from the moment guests stood off that bus at Fig Tree but she continued them all the way through to the reception. Her iconic voice, laugh and once again overall vibe just made our whole day so special! We always knew that she would be first person we were calling (even before locking our date in with our venue) to make sure she was available and we are so glad we did!

Chloe and Luke, Figtree Byron Bay
Loz, how can I begin to even thank you for all your help! If you are looking for a celebrant Loz is seriously your girl…..from sharing our love story perfectly to guiding us when writing our vows. Our day wouldn't have been the same without Loz marrying us!!! I'm sad the process is over just because of how smooth and easy she made it feel, like I was just planning with my one of my girls. Don't second think about booking Loz she is the best of the best - one conversation with her and you will know what I mean!

Jasmine and Jarrod, Hunter Valley
Loz is the ultimate hype woman. She lifts the energy of every space she enters with her warm smile and quick wit. She commands those spaces whilst ensuring everyone within them feels included and acknowledged. She told our story effortlessly, like she had known us our whole lives. When I say I love her/want to be her it’s not even the slightest exaggeration. She is pure gold in human form.

Chey and Jay, Euroa Butter Factory
Loz, the personal ceremony you wrote for Petey and I, including the bits about love ones, our history and experiences was a million times better then we could have ever imagined. You were the perfect calm to the storm in those final minutes and yours was the smiling face I needed to see. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Larissa and Peter, Stonehurst Wollombi
