Celebrant // Robert Simmons
Newcastle NSW is my state of origin however Queensland’s Gold Coast has been home for many years.
I’ve passionately worked within the hospitality industry for the best part of my life and have always been dedicated to customer service and satisfaction. Managing restaurants, bars and nightclubs on some of Queensland’s most popular Island Resorts and the Gold Coasts glitter strip.
The best functions I’ve ever hosted have been weddings, from the first initial meeting with the couple, to selecting a suitable food and beverage package, bridal table and room decorations, music, transportation and most importantly a Marriage Celebrant.
I always ensured everything was perfect for the bride and groom and their guests on the day, down to the smallest detail, I was dedicated to exceeding my couple’s expectations, and nothing is more rewarding than the ultimate WOW factor on arrival to their wedding reception.
For the past 15 years life’s journey for me has been focused on many memorable and joyous occasions.
Now I live the dream of working as a Commonwealth Registered Marriage Celebrant, and it’s been a privilege to have officiated over 1000 wedding ceremonies, naming hundreds of babies, helped couples relive their wedding day as they renewed their vows, and I’ve had the pleasure of hosting many wedding receptions as a Master of Ceremonies.
I have a wealth of knowledge, along with the passion and dedication to ensure your wedding day has all the qualities it warrants, as you begin your journey together as husband and wife.
