Amanda Saliba Celebrant
You’ve probably never planned a wedding ceremony before. Amanda has, plenty of times — which is one of the reasons you want her calm, warm presence beside you when you say I do.
After fourteen years teaching high-school Business, Amanda left in 2024 to take the advice she’d spent a career giving her students: go after the thing that lights you up.
Becoming a celebrant turned a lifelong fascination with human connection into the job itself. She’s based in Melbourne and marries couples across the Yarra Valley, Victoria and beyond, connecting with couples who want the ceremony to be one of the highlights of the day rather than the formal bit before it.
A Melbourne wedding celebrant who makes the planning easy
From the moment you book, everything you need lives in your own online ceremony planning space — your next steps, questionnaires, vow guide and documents, all in one place rather than scattered through old emails.
The teacher in Amanda loves structure and keeping things running smoothly; the performer knows how to hold a room and create moments people actually feel; and having been a bride herself, she remembers exactly how big the day is.
Together that means a ceremony that’s personal, joyful and unmistakably yours, arrived at through a process that stays genuinely calm and even a little fun.
Relaxed, personal ceremonies from 15 guests to 150
Amanda’s Signature Ceremony is for couples who want to properly pause on the day, to reflect on what they’ve built, remember why they chose each other, and mark the commitment in front of the people who matter most. Fifteen guests or a hundred and fifty, the aim doesn’t change: guests who walk away saying “that was so them.”
Her background in storytelling and twenty years in musical theatre mean she knows how to read a room and carry it, whether she’s guiding the ceremony or hosting as MC, so the tone of the day stays warm and consistent throughout.
Amanda suits couples who want their ceremony to feel relaxed, personal and joyful rather than formal or templated, and who’d love a celebrant who takes the stress out of the planning as much as the day. A strong fit whether you’re marrying with fifteen people or a hundred and fifty, and for couples who value a warm, organised hand guiding them from booking through to vows.
“Amanda was our celebrant, and she was absolutely amazing!
From the moment we met her, she made us feel so calm and at ease. She completely understood the vibe we wanted for our ceremony and brought it to life beautifully. She made the entire experience feel personal, relaxed, and so special.
If you’re looking for a celebrant who truly listens, understands your vision, and creates a ceremony that feels authentically you, then Amanda is the perfect choice!”
