My story & career

I’m Donna Pethybridge, an Authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant passionate about creating meaningful and unforgettable ceremonies for weddings and all of life’s special celebrations.

My story

Originally from the U.K., I have spent my adult life in Australia, where I have embraced the joy of being part of a large and lively family. Special occasions have always been at the heart of my life, filled with laughter, love, and cherished moments.

Married to my wonderful husband Mark (my roadie) for over 30 years, we have built a beautiful life with our three adult children—Kieren, Aynsley, and Callum—and my lovely daughter-in-law, Georgie.

With over 20 years of experience in Beauty, Personal Care, and Travel Retail, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to tailor experiences to individual needs.

My passion for helping people extends beyond my work, as I am also a longstanding volunteer for Look Good Feel Better, supporting cancer patients in regaining their confidence.

My role as your wedding celebrant is to bring your vision to life and craft a unique, elegant, and heartfelt ceremony that reflects your story and leaves a lasting impression on you and your guests.

I believe that love should be celebrated in all its beauty, and I would love to help make your wedding day stress-free, joyful, and truly unforgettable.
