“For a ceremony that truly reflects you”

Adrian Downey NSW Celebrant Hi, my name is Adrian Downey, a popular, relaxed, easy going, and affordable male Civil Marriage Celebrant and Justice of the Peace JP (NSW) located in North Western Sydney New South Wales. I service all areas of greater Sydney including the Blue Mountains, Wollongong, the Central Coast, from the Southern Highlands to The Hunter Valley and beyond.

I would be honoured to be a part of your special day. Your ceremony is a very important moment in your lives, it is a sincere event, and it should be personal, exciting, joyful and fun. Whether you are looking for something traditional, something simple or something in between, we will work together to create a ceremony that truly reflects you. Whilst I perform many ceremonies every year no two ceremonies are the same, they are individual and personalised no matter how big or small.

NSW Celebrant Logo I am a registered civil marriage celebrant (officiant), who performs weddings, namings, renewal of vows, commitment and civil ceremonies.

I am also a member of Australian Marriage Celebrants Incorporated (AMC) and Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants (AFCC) associations.

As you browse through my website you will find all the necessary information along with resources to help plan and tailor your wedding, naming, renewal of vows or civil ceremony.

Please contact me to arrange an obligation free meeting to discuss your individual ceremony requirements. I would be very happy to get together with you to provide more information and answer any questions you may have.

An introduction….
