Hi, I’m Maria

Hi, I’m Maria

If you are here, you are probably looking for a celebrant who will make your ceremony feel calm, personal and beautifully organised.


I’m Maria Rampa, a Marriage Celebrant based on the Sunshine Coast, creating ceremonies across the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and the Hinterland.

I take the time to truly get to know you and your story, then craft a ceremony that feels authentic, relaxed and meaningful. I genuinely love weddings, but what I love most is getting to know my couples and the moments that brought you together.

I’m naturally curious and very organised, which means your ceremony is thoughtfully prepared and runs smoothly on the day. As a storyteller at heart, I work closely with you to create a ceremony that reflects your personalities, your journey and the tone you want to set for the celebration.

 

My approach is simple. No gimmicks. No surprises. Just thoughtful preparation, genuine storytelling and a ceremony that feels completely you. Sometimes heartfelt, sometimes lighthearted, and always meaningful for you and the people sharing the moment with you.

Create your perfect ceremony
with your ideal marriage celebrant

Whether you’re planning a full wedding with all your favourite people, a simple beachfront “I do”, or an intimate hinterland celebration, your ceremony should feel effortless on the day and personal in the moment.

 

That usually comes down to two things: a clear structure (so everything flows), and the right words (so it actually sounds like you, not a template).

 

I’ll guide you through the process from the first conversation onwards, help you choose what to include, and shape a ceremony that reflects your story and your relationship. I’m organised behind the scenes, calm under pressure, and focused on making the whole experience feel easy.

 

On the day, you can be fully present. I’ll take care of the details, keep things running smoothly, and deliver a ceremony with warmth, confidence and polish.

What You Can Expect

Elopements and simple ceremonies

Simple can be incredibly meaningful. If you’re planning an intimate ceremony, I’ll help you create something personal, well-paced and beautifully delivered, without any fuss.

That might be a micro wedding with your closest people, or just the two of you and your witnesses. Either way, you’ll have calm guidance through the process and a ceremony that feels genuinely like you.

You’ll feel supported, prepared, and completely at ease on the day.

Larger Weddings

If you’re planning a larger wedding, the ceremony still sets the tone for the whole day. I’ll help you shape a ceremony that feels personal, keeps guests engaged, and runs smoothly from start to finish.

I’ll guide you through the key moments (entrance, vows, rings, signing), coordinate the flow with your venue and vendors where needed, and deliver it with warmth, confidence and polish.

FAQ's

Ceremonies start from $650 for elopements and from $950 for full wedding ceremonies. This includes all paperwork and legal requirements, as well as working with you to craft your personal ceremony. The final price depends on the size and complexity of what you have in mind, and I am happy to confirm pricing once I know a little more about your day.

 

Most couples book three to twelve months ahead, although I do take bookings at shorter notice when my calendar allows. In Australia, a Notice of Intended Marriage must be lodged at least one month before your wedding date, unless you can secure a shortening of time from a prescribed authority.

 

I am based on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, and mostly perform ceremonies across Southeast Queensland, including north to Noosa, west to the Hinterland and Scenic Rim, and south to the Gold Coast. I can also perform ceremonies elsewhere in Australia. I do not charge travel fees for most locations, so just ask and I will confirm.

Yes, I write every ceremony from scratch. I will send you a preview of the script before the day so you can read it, adjust anything, and feel completely comfortable with what will be said.

Absolutely. You can write your own vows, use a version I suggest, or a mix of both. There are a small number of legal words that must be included, but beyond those, the ceremony is entirely yours. I will guide you through it so it does not feel overwhelming.

Life happens, and I understand that. If your date changes, get in touch as soon as you can and I will do everything I can to accommodate you, subject to availability.
