"Life is about celebrating
the love and joy of our
lived experience!"
Maria Rampa
Marriage Celebrant

Hi, lovely to meet you!

If you are here, I’m guessing it’s because you are looking for a professional, organised and experienced Marriage Celebrant who can make your special day truly memorable and unique! Well, you have come to the right place. My name is Maria Rampa, and I am the Managing Director of Evvoke Bespoke Celebrations and a Southeast Queensland-based Marriage Celebrant, servicing Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and surrounding areas (although I can also travel anywhere!). I love weddings (who doesn’t?) but most of all I adore getting to know you – my couples – and telling your unique love story!

I’m a storyteller, travel designer and event organiser, curious and insanely organised by nature! I’d love to get to know you and work with you to create an unforgettable celebration that is authentic and personal, no matter where or how you are celebrating. My vibe is ‘no surprises, no gimmicks’ – I collaborate with you to create professional, meaningful (and some funny bits!) ceremonies to make your day memorable and fun for you and your guests. Together we will make your dream ceremony come true.

Create your perfect ceremony
with your ideal marriage celebrant

You might be saying ‘I do’ amongst the vines at dusk.

 

Or, eloping to the beach to feel the sand between your toes.

 

Maybe you’re gathering around a campfire with your nearest and dearest, creating lifelong memories to the chorus of a crackling fire.

 

Or, giving your new baby her unique name in the comforting cradle of your first home.

Perhaps you are taking a long, well-deserved breath to commemorate the completion of that PhD.

 

Or, remembering why you fell in love in the first place, as you renew your vows against the backdrop of a tangerine sunset.

 

Everyone has a tale to tell and a reason to celebrate – and I know your story is as distinctive as you!

 

Contact me to discuss how I can be your ideal celebrant and turn your special moment into an unforgettable celebration.

Destination
weddings and
celebrations

Have passport. Will travel!

Whether your dream nuptials or celebration is overlooking a sun-drenched river in Brisbane, on a tropical island in Queensland, in a vineyard in the Yarra Valley, overlooking Sydney Harbour, in an inner-city warehouse in Melbourne or in your friend’s backyard – I can help you make it happen!

I can even travel across the oceans – but just bear in mind that I can only conduct legal weddings in Australia, so if you want a destination wedding overseas, you might like to consider a small legal ceremony in Oz, followed by a sumptuous soiree in a faraway land!

If you live outside Australia and want to celebrate your special milestone in this nation of palm-fringed beaches, soaring mountains and desert sunsets, then I am the celebrant who can deliver on your dreams!

Elopements and
simple
ceremonies

Simple is the new ‘black’ and many people are choosing quality over quantity! If this is you, I can help you create the perfect ceremony that is all about your vision for an intimate gathering (or micro wedding) with those most special to you. Or, just the two of you and your witnesses – very personal, with or without the extras. It can be that simple…

Lavish weddings
and parties

On the other hand, who doesn’t love to party! If this is your vibe, I can help to create the kind of celebration that ticks the bucket list. The options are endless – what is important is that your event is a reflection of the one and only you!
