Hi, I’m DOnna pethybridge.

Here is a little about me, my name is Donna Pethybridge and I am an Authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant for Weddings and all other life celebrations.

I was born in the U.K. and have spent my adult life living in Australia.

I am part of a large family of siblings, by birth and by good fortune….special occasions are always guaranteed to be a lot of fun!

I am a wife to Mark (my roadie) for over 30 years and am a mother to three adult children Kieren, Aynsley and Callum and also a mother-in-law to Georgie.

My work background gives me 20+years’ experience in Beauty and Personal Care as well as Travel Retail, this gives me great expertise in recognising and understanding the quite different needs of my customers,  to personalise and tailor my service to you.

I am a longstanding volunteer for Look Good Feel Better, run by the Cancer Patients Foundation. This community incentive helps arm Cancer patients with the skills to address cancer related side effects that they may be experiencing, to help them face their diagnosis with confidence.

 My own life experiences have driven me to repay the great work of this organisation, helping people that can benefit from my skills and offer understanding, patience, empathy and positivity.

I am an organised, fun, enthusiastic and professional individual, who has great communication skills and I love a chat.

So my job as your Celebrant (with your fabulous vision and my inspiration and expertise), is to help you design your own unique, elegant and authentic ceremony that tells your story, in a way that lives on in the hearts and minds of your guests. 

My love for love, inspires me to make this beautiful experience as memorable and stress free as possible and it would be fantastic to work with you to bring to life your special day


My Approach

I believe that a ceremony should reflect the individuals it celebrates. By getting to know you and understanding your desires, I will craft a ceremony that perfectly captures your style, values, and personalities. From unconventional themes to traditional rituals, I am committed to creating a celebration that is uniquely yours.

Dream it

My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing that your wedding ceremony is in capable and caring hands.
If you are ready to embark on this beautiful journey of love, let Donna Claire Celebrant be your guide. Together, we will create meaningful memories that will be cherished for a lifetime

Build it

In a world that constantly changes, I understand the need for flexibility. Whether you prefer an intimate gathering or a grand affair, indoors or outdoors, I am well-equipped to adapt to any setting or scenario. Your satisfaction is my top priority, and I am committed to creating a celebration that exceeds your expectations.
