25.01.2022 Wont be in this box for much longer!!

24.01.2022 .... and home in bed by midnight! That's my kind of party these days.....!

24.01.2022 Marrying Jen and Jason by Sydney Harbour. If youre coming to one of my weddings, youll be asked to sign in with your name and number for contact tracing. All you have to do is hold your phone in front of my QR code. No passing around a pen and clipboard. COVID Safe, too easy!

24.01.2022 Rosa and Scott make headlines! They got married at Oatlands House in the first few weeks of COVID, so it was just them, me, Mum & Dad and a whole load of people watching online (because I also webcast their wedding). These two are such a beautiful couple madly in love and it was such a special moment, even despite the change of plans. Thanks for the shout out in the newspaper!

23.01.2022 A few weeks ago, nobody really knew what a QR code was. Now it's second nature when you see one to whip out your phone and check yourself in! Here's how I make sure everyone's accounted for under my COVID Safe plan.

23.01.2022 Lunch with the legend that is Jason de Plater Photography - always with camera in hand for the unexpected photo opportunity!

23.01.2022 2020 has definitely been the year of the at-home backyard wedding. And when your parents' back yard has 180 degree harbour views, where better to tie the knot? Wow! As you can see, these kind of ceremonies are always full of fun and laughs. Many congrats Jess and Zieke and thanks to Jason de Plater Photography for the pic!

21.01.2022 Loving me some springtime sunshine down by the harbour as I wait for my two grooms to arrive for their midweek wedding!

21.01.2022 Current mood - monochrome Monday marriage (running out of M's now but yes, people get married on a Monday!) and I'm back in the Royal Botanic Gardens for another elopement - just the five of us today, bride, groom, 2 witnesses and me!

19.01.2022 Let's do lunch! And let's get married while we're at it! A hush-hush marriage on the menu at Gunners Barracks with some special champagne already chilling....

19.01.2022 Check out this little beauty. Its my livestreaming camera and its been in demand more than ever lately, what with COVID and all that. I can webcast your wedding really easily so friends and family dont miss out - like at todays elopement in the Royal Botanic Gardens!

19.01.2022 Current rules on COVID weddings - The maximum number of people who may attend a wedding is the maximum number of people allowed on the premises, which is one person per 4 square metres. A wedding at a place of residence can have the greater of 20 people or one person per 4 square metres of space. People attending will be required to provide their name and contact details so that they can be used for contact tracing.

19.01.2022 A few weeks ago, nobody really knew what a QR code was. Now its second nature when you see one to whip out your phone and check yourself in! Heres how I make sure everyones accounted for under my COVID Safe plan.

19.01.2022 SECRET WEDDING! What better way to celebrate a landmark anniversary than by getting married? All totally hush-hush though. They're not telling anyone! I wonder how long they'll be able to keep the secret?

18.01.2022 Marriage Certificates? CHECK. Crafted ceremony script? CHECK. Awesome location? CHECK. Great couple? CHECK. Fun, easy and memorable wedding with a top-rating Sydney Marriage Celebrant? CHECK. Talented photographer on hand to capture it all? CHECK! Jason de Plater Photography

18.01.2022 So hello Newcastle! Havent been here in a while and now its all hipster cafes, driverless cars and shiny new trams. Noice. Different. Unusual. Plus you can get a park super-easily!!

16.01.2022 Reunited (and it feels so good!) I married Amanda and Chris in 2018. This time they were wedding guests instead of the bride and groom. Great to catch up! And I also got to meet the new addition to the family too. Love seeing my couples down the track. I never forget any of them!

16.01.2022 Another funeral webcast - me with my other hat on. As well as weddings, us Celebrants are also involved in the other important times of everyones lives.

16.01.2022 Beautiful day for a wedding! Back at Pilu at Freshwater for another epic celebration!

16.01.2022 Lets do lunch! And lets get married while were at it! A hush-hush marriage on the menu at Gunners Barracks with some special champagne already chilling....

15.01.2022 NAILED IT! Words from Thi as she and Michael said I DO down by the harbour surrounded by (socially distanced) family and friends! They chose one of my Kiss Me Quick wedding ceremonies. Personal, fun and done and dusted in 15 minutes max!

15.01.2022 Won't be in this box for much longer!!

15.01.2022 Colourful bouquet of Aussie natives to brighten the grey skies at this winter wedding! Noice.

15.01.2022 So hello Newcastle! Haven't been here in a while and now it's all hipster cafes, driverless cars and shiny new trams. Noice. Different. Unusual. Plus you can get a park super-easily!!

14.01.2022 These are the Celebration Steps in Centennial Park... ready to host another celebration as J & M get married after 13 years and many adventures together. It doesn't get any more intimate than this - just them, me and their two witnesses!

14.01.2022 LOVE IN THE FAST LANE: Everyone's eloping! Watch Ten News tonight (Thurs) at 5pm to find out how COVID has triggered a spike in the number of elopements and micro weddings. And for many couples, that necessity is a relief not a disappointment!

13.01.2022 Yes - people do get married on Mondays! And the bonus is I get to stay on to enjoy a really lovely lunch invitation, rounded off with a slab of red velvet wedding cake. YUM! Many congratulations to these newlyweds, getting married exactly 20 years to the day since they met.

13.01.2022 Current mood - monochrome Monday marriage (running out of Ms now but yes, people get married on a Monday!) and Im back in the Royal Botanic Gardens for another elopement - just the five of us today, bride, groom, 2 witnesses and me!

12.01.2022 Does anyone teach you how to wear a wedding dress? Hats off to Rufei who carried off this expansive gown with total elegance and style. If I was in her shoes, I'd definitely be flat on my face!!!!

12.01.2022 JUST MARRIED FEELS! What a brilliant moment from Yuki and Bert's harbourside wedding captured by @jdeplaterphoto No caption needed - the photo says it all!

12.01.2022 Saying farewell to an amazing woman who faced her battle with cancer in such an inspirational way. Sharing her story and celebrating her all too short life was an honour. #sydneyfuneralcelebrant #picalunafunerals #funeral #nonreligiousfuneral

10.01.2022 JUST MARRIED FEELS! What a brilliant moment from Yuki and Berts harbourside wedding captured by @jdeplaterphoto No caption needed - the photo says it all!

10.01.2022 Thanks Jen and Jason for the 5* Google Review! "Stephen has made the marriage ceremony process so seamless and professional. We felt guided throughout the whole process despite the circumstances with Covid. He also had an amazing audio setup. His relaxed demeanour made us so at ease with the ceremony process. Love your work Steve! The total package!"

10.01.2022 All set for Rev and A's harbourside "Kiss Me Quick" wedding (and if we were any more harbourside we'd be in the water!!) Setup by one of my styling partners, Wedding Knights. And the view doesn't get any better than this!

10.01.2022 Matthias and Rufei - just married!

09.01.2022 Suns out for Alex and Angie, having a cute ceremony with their nearest and dearest with this view as their backdrop. NOICE. They picked one of my COVID-friendly Kiss Me Quick weddings!

09.01.2022 Look what just dropped on my doorstep!

08.01.2022 Ive been talking to Ten News Sydney about how COVID may have forced everyone to scale back their wedding plans but it definitely doesnt mean you have to kiss goodbye to your wedding completely. Everyones eloping instead! Small, simple and straightforward are all in vogue and my KISS ME QUICK Weddings have never been so popular! Keeping it easy, intimate and personal makes it all the more meaningful.

08.01.2022 JUST MARRIED! Woohoo! And Esther and Stu couldn't have timed it better. Seconds after the ceremony ended on the beach at Coogee, a massive storm rolled in and we all had to run for cover!

07.01.2022 Russell chose a short reading by Mark Twain for his wedding ceremony at home and then pulled out a Mark Twain pen to sign the certificates with! GENIUS! And thank you so much for your 5* review: "Stephen - thank you SO MUCH for making the whole day so stress-free and delivering exactly what we wanted in terms of formality. Working with you was such a happy and simple process, and we appreciated the extra special level of care that you bring to the process."

07.01.2022 Meet newlyweds Bert and Yuki and their fur baby Nina, who came to the wedding in her bridesmaids dress and (almost) stole the show! These two (or three I should say) are lots of fun to have around and their Kiss Me Quick wedding was a relaxed and fun affair down by the harbour on a beautifully sunny day. And thanks for the 5 star review! Stephen made everything about our wedding so easy and simple. The ceremony that he put together with us was so incredibly beautiful and we had the most amazing time. We couldn't recommend Stephen more. Thanks so much Stephen!"

06.01.2022 OMG can't remember the last time I was at the beach thanks to COVID/winter, so how amazing to get some sand back between my toes in front of this AMAZING riot of colour? Fantastic work by @clementineposy and Amy from @cloud9events ready for Inga and Mark's wedding.

06.01.2022 So when you book one of my Kiss Me Quick weddings, you don't ACTUALLY have to take that literally. In fact... the more kissing the better if you ask me!

05.01.2022 Check out the Birds of Paradise in full bloom down by one of my favourite wedding spots alongside the harbour!

04.01.2022 Whales were breaching in the ocean as I was doing the marrying in the chapel! Amazing - always great views through the window and a warm welcome at The Coast Chapel. The awesome Anne makes a great cup of tea!

04.01.2022 Like many couples, Inga and Mark had to postpone their wedding due to COVID. So it was all the sweeter for having to wait as they said their beautiful wedding vows to each other on a stunning sunny morning at Shelly Beach. Family and friends joined in via the wedding webcast I set up for them. My second wedding for the Vilkins family and an absolute treat to be part of this amazing day. Check out the fab florals from @clementineposy and styling by Amy from @cloud9events

04.01.2022 Amy and Ben got married at @piluweddings in Freshie on the same day as his grandparents celebrated their 65th anniversary. How amazing is that? What an inspiration. And what a party! Thanks Ben for your kind review: "Stephen made our special day such an incredible experience! From the get go he was so informative, helpful and made the process so easy. We were only after a small intimate wedding and Stephen felt like part of the family with his wit and charm. Making also a special mention to my Grandparents 65th wedding anniversary on the same day was a special moment. Huge recommendation!"

03.01.2022 Really lovely story attached to this wooden box holding the wedding rings for Alex and Angie. The box was bought in Vietnam and has become a tradition at family weddings. And the rings themselves are equally special - created from the wedding rings of grandparents from each side of the new family. How beautiful is that?

03.01.2022 My couples are the BEST! Some amazing words written with a very special pen - a whole pack of pens with my name on, lol! What a thoughtful gift. Thank you Chris and Mazoe!

03.01.2022 How cute (and special) is this? A box of memories for Sarah and Brian to look back on in the years to come. Their vows were so beautifully written that they deserve to be kept in style! Vows are the absolute heart and soul of a wedding ceremony. Looking forward to their next celebration with everyone next year....

02.01.2022 So when you book one of my Kiss Me Quick weddings, you dont ACTUALLY have to take that literally. In fact... the more kissing the better if you ask me!

02.01.2022 Plenty of OOMPH at my weddings! Another top review has dropped - this one from Pam and Ned. Thanks both! "We met Stephen before Covid restrictions started. We had to change our wedding plan a few times and he was very accommodating. He made the process very easy for me and my husband. The ceremony was short and sweet. He made us very comfortable and made us laugh a few times. We couldn't ask for anything more as Stephen made our special day memorable."

02.01.2022 Did you know that before I can start your wedding ceremony, I have to do a final check to make sure you're DEFINITELY sure you want to get married? After all, you're about to make a lifelong legal commitment. You're both required by law to sign a final declaration stating you're free, wiling and able to marry. We do it away from the ceremony spot during the final briefing before everything begins. (By the way, nobody's decided NOT to sign.... yet!) Thanks @jdeplaterphoto for the photo of me in action.

01.01.2022 MARRIAGE MILESTONE: Super excited to have received my 200th 5-star Google Review! I am so grateful to John and Fotiny for their words. I really do appreciate it! This is how all weddings should be. This was a comment by a family member after our ceremony and can be solely attributed to Stephen Lee. Stephen’s process for creating a perfect personalised ceremony is easy & stress free. His professionalism, attention to detail and understanding of government requirements is second to none. All communication prior to the ceremony was personal, thorough and informative. Our wedding was exactly as we intended & left a lasting impression for all involved through its simplicity and sincerity. I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough & urge you to visit Stephen’s website prior to looking at any other celebrant.
