Choosing the right celebrant to create and deliver the perfect ceremony, is just as important as the ceremony itself.
YOUR JOURNEY
I simply love celebrating love and look forward to meeting with you and having an obligation free chat.
Hi
Hi, I'm
GRACE
A little about me
My name is Grace Pickford and I started Married with Grace because I believe in love, commitment, marriage and living happily ever after.
I am a Melbourne based civil celebrant who delivers wedding ceremonies in and around South East Melbourne, however, I am more than happy to travel further afield. Did you say “destination wedding”? …Count me in!
I have a loving husband, three awesome sons, three wonderful daughters-in-law and my three adorable grandchildren; the loves of my life. More than anything, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends over a long lunch and a glass of red or bubbles.
I have a friendly persona by nature and can connect with people from all walks of life. I really enjoy getting to know my clients on a personal level, to plan and deliver a ceremony that showcases their love, relationship, and individual personalities.
By drawing from my own experiences as a celebrant, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, I can write and deliver a fully customised and modern ceremony with genuine sincerity.
I will also help you navigate through all there is to know about getting married and take care of all the legal paperwork from the beginning of the process to beyond your ceremony.
You can trust that I know how seriously important it is to get everything just right! I regard it an honor and privilege to be a part of your special day and the level of trust placed in me.
I simply love celebrating love and look forward to meeting with you and having an obligation free chat over a coffee (or tipple) about how we can start your journey towards creating a uniquely memorable ceremony.
I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve been mentioned by Vogue Ballroom & Vines of the Yarra Valley as one of the top wedding celebrants in Melbourne!

TESTIMONIALS
Nishanthi & Narthana
From the day we first met Grace my husband and I felt she was all in, positive, helpful, and thoughtful. We are from different cultural backgrounds and wanted a very simple ceremony. Grace's suggestions, such as incorporating particular elements we'd like as a couple, while also including elements from our culture, left our family loving every bit of our ceremony.
Thanks Grace, for all your effort, love, and support throughout our wedding planning journey! We have sincerely appreciated it.
We will totally recommend Grace to couples looking for a breezy wedding day! She has it all in control.
Caitlin & Matt
From our very first zoom call to decide on a celebrant, we met with Grace & Grace only. From that very first meeting, we both looked at each other and said she's "the one".
We wanted a surprise wedding & from the time we told Grace, she had so many ideas on how to do it, where she would position herself and that solidified just why we chose her.
There really are not enough words to describe our experience with Grace, but she has been nothing short of professional, supportive and we have had the most incredible time planning and sharing our day with her.
Jessa & Aidan
We heard fantastic things about Grace and didn't look any further. After our introduction conversation, we felt comfortable and excited to book Grace in for our special day.
Grace is meticulous, caring, friendly, approaches everything with a smile, is willing to customise everything to your liking and enjoys the journey with you.
Thanks Again Grace.
Barb & David
How can we thank you enough for our amazing wedding ceremony which ran smoothly and seamlessly. Many guests commented on how lovely a person you are and what an amazing job you did!
You have been a mentor to us since we met and were forever patient and gently encouraging. You made the wedding preparations fun and stress free and we appreciate your guidance and support.
You are a beautiful person with a talent for writing a love story and we would recommend you to anyone.
Thank you, Grace. We are forever grateful for meeting you.
Emma & Osman
We had an instant connection with Grace from the first time we spoke. We cannot thank her enough for the amazing support and care she gave us throughout the planning of our wedding. She accommodated every detail we requested, and her communication was exceptional. She went above and beyond and made us feel so at ease on the day.
She has the warmest heart & is such a beautiful soul. Having Grace as our Celebrant and officiating our marriage was the best decision we made! Your future couples are going to be so lucky to have you ♥️
Adriana & Stephen
Firstly, we would like to thank you for all your hard work. We couldn’t be happier with the ceremony - we thoroughly enjoyed it and all our guests loved it.
You were so patient, assisted with vows and were so prompt on everything - we have already highly recommended you to a few of our friends who are getting married.
We couldn’t have picked a better celebrant, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Lastly, we hope you enjoyed the night with Karl - we are so happy you both attended our reception and wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Nicole & James
Grace was made to be a celebrant! She was amazing throughout the entire journey; always happy to answer our questions, extremely patient and, more importantly, made the process fun!
She was kind and very supportive of our decisions and gave us helpful ideas and options.
We highly recommend Grace and feel so honoured she officiated our marriage.
Tatjana & Jake
Jake & I want to say a huge thank you to our wonderful celebrant Grace, who was not only caring, enthusiastic, and vibrant but also so patient and supportive through what everyone knows is a crazy year of planning a wedding! For a couple who has no knowledge of celebrants or what they do or how things would work on the day, Grace made the process so simple and easy. She spoke about our love story perfectly and did all the hard work of putting everything together. The guests provided us with so many nice compliments about how well spoken and lovely she was, and we couldn’t agree more! We definitely recommend Grace for anyone’s special day!
Mikayla & Jason
Thank you for going above and beyond for us both.
We have enjoyed every minute working with you and thank you for sharing our special day with us.
Love Mikayla and Jason

Lacey & Andrew
Having Grace as our celebrant and Grace & Karl as MCs ensured we had a seamless & familiar wedding day.
Her meticulous care created a perfect ceremony, leaving no detail or dream unattended. We felt completely at ease, and she even assisted with a vow surprise for my husband. No words can express our thanks for making our dream day come true.
Thanks again Grace & Karl.
