Hello, I am so glad you are here.
I'm Laura, the Celebrant behind Love by Looie.
I am so genuinely honoured that you are considering me to be a part of such an incredibly meaningful moment in your lives. I believe the ceremony is the heart of your wedding day celebration. It is the moment everything begins and the memory that stays with you forever.
My approach to creating your dream ceremony is deeply personal and intentional. Romantic, elegant and thoughtfully crafted, with the perfect balance of warmth, authenticity and joy.
I am devoted to creating a ceremony that feels beautifully you. Heartfelt, genuine and full of meaning. This welcome page will walk you through what I offer, how I work and the heart behind the experience I create for my couples. Take your time to explore and when you are ready, I’d love to connect and hear all about your plans.
I can’t wait to chat with you,
Laura xx

At the heart of what I do
I create elegant, romantic, and heartfelt wedding ceremonies with just the right amount of fun – for couples who value connection, authenticity, and a sense of occasion.
Love by Looie is built on the belief that your ceremony is more than where you are legally married – it should be the heart of the celebration that is your wedding day. It’s where your story and relationship is honoured and celebrated and where your next chapter begins.
Whether it’s an intimate elopement by the beach, a wedding in the vineyards of the Hunter Valley, an inner city celebration in Newcastle or Sydney or a destination ceremony under the European sun - I bring a calm, warm presence, a polished process, and genuine heart to every ceremony I write and deliver.
You’ll find me where love and detail meet, gently guiding you through, listening deeply, laughing over stories, supporting you through your vows and creating a ceremony that feels entirely authentically you.

The Experience
Jessica & Blake, Noosa. Photography: Beck Rocchi Photography
1. Let's Connect
After connecting via email or the website contact form, we will catch up over a phone or video call to get the conversation going. We will chat about your plans, your vision for the day and how we can work together to see if we are the right match.
2. Book & Secure
If you would like to move forward with me as your Celebrant, this will involve a 30% non refundable booking fee. You will have immediate access to my Lovers Portal resources and my guidance every step of the way. You can then relax, while I guide you through the experience.
3. Let The Planning Begin
Around 6 months before the wedding, I will send you your Couples Questionnaire for you to start to ponder. Approximately 4 months prior to your wedding day, we will meet up in person, over a coffee or your drink of choice, or online to chat all things your wedding ceremony. We will also sign the first piece of paperwork (the Notice of Intended Marriage).
4. Get Creative
I will then get creative based on our conversations and your responses to the questionnaire and craft a ceremony that is completely authentic to you and aligns with your vision for the day. I can share with you a draft, or we can keep it a surprise.
5. A Check In
Around 2 weeks prior to the wedding, we will connect online for our final meeting and a virtual rehearsal of your wedding ceremony. This is a perfect opportunity to ask any further questions as all of the elements of your ceremony are finalised. After this call youwill leave feeling calm, confident and excited for your day.
6. The Wedding Day
I will arrive at least 1 hour prior to the ceremony and I will check in with you both, set up my PA, liaise with your vendor team and welcome your guests on arrival. You can be confident that all of the ceremony details and legal aspects are taken care of and you can immerse yourself in the precious moments. Relax, take it all in and enjoy your most special day.
7. Post Ceremony
After the ceremony, I will finalise all of the legals and lodge your marriage documents with Births, Deaths and Marriages. I also include the Official Marriage Certificate within my fee, so you can relax in newlywed bliss while this arrives to your home a few weeks after the wedding day.

She is a natural at what she does and she just cares so darn much, which you feel throughout the whole process and even more on the day! Laura is someone who can craft a couples story out of anything you give her it had us in both awe and stitches! What a beautiful person to have be apart of such a special day. Someone we will always have so much love for

I cannot put into words just how incredible Laura was as our wedding celebrant. She wasn’t just our celebrant, she felt like a friend from the very start. She made us feel so comfortable, guiding me through all the unknowns and I feel like she doubled as my therapist calming all my nerves lol! Nothing was ever too much trouble and she always offered a helping hand, even when it was outside the realm of her job. Laura truly took the time to listen to what we wanted, and the way she told our story and conducted our ceremony was beyond anything we could have imagined, we could not of been happier. We’ve had so many guests compliment us on how beautiful our ceremony was and how great Laura was. I honestly couldn’t have done this without Laura, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant who is warm, supportive, incredibly talented and passionate about what she does. I almost want to get married again just to work with her all over again!

How do we even begin to describe how incredible Laura is? From day one, she was the calm in the chaos that comes with planning a wedding. We were definitely not the super organised couple who had everything ready on time, but her patience, kindness and gentle guidance made the whole process feel stress-free and fun. On our wedding day, she was simply perfection. The way she told our story so beautifully, brought light, laughter and such a warm energy — she truly made the ceremony everything we dreamed of and more. Even when the literal storm hit, she remained calm and kept everything feeling magical. Truly an angel! We’re honestly so sad the day is over because working with her was such a joy. Thank you, Laura (or as we secretly call you… Looie 😇), for making our day unforgettable. 🤍🤍

Laura is not only the most dedicated celebrant, but also the perfect mix of hype woman and calming presence. No idea was too silly as Laura created a ceremony that was truly ‘us’. Laura offers an incredible expertise and guidance through writing your own vows, creating a ceremony that is true to you, and her personal touches were just so spot on. As a girly who lovesss a checklist and information sheets, Laura’s resources were ample and so perfect to help guide through every part of the ceremony and marriage process. From the moment you meet Laura, you can tell just how much she loves love, how invested she is in your love story, and how dedicated she is to making your day as perfectly ‘you’ as she can. Laura even copped a stressed out phone call the day before from me, and she was so calm and had multiple solutions already ready to go. Laura is such a beautiful person inside and out, and we feel so grateful to have had her on our very special day.

We are so incredibly thankful for Laura! From the very first meeting, she was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in getting to know us and our story. In the lead-up to our wedding, she was so organised, attentive, and always quick to answer any questions we had — which made the whole process feel so easy and stress-free. On the day, Laura went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly. She told our love story so beautifully, striking the perfect balance of heartfelt and joyful, and every guest commented on how wonderful she was. We couldn’t have imagined our ceremony (and reception!) without her — she truly made it so special. Thank you, Laura, for everything!

Laura poured her heart and soul into crafting our ceremony and captured our relationship perfectly. We asked for romantic and to tell our love story and she delivered! Laura is such a beautiful person inside and out and we are so happy she was such an important part of our day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts xx
