Ali Cairns Wedding Celebrant

Hi, I’m Ali

A marriage celebrant with a knack for turning your love story into something unforgettable. Based in sunny Cairns and travelling all over this gorgeous region (yes, Port Douglas too!), I specialise in relaxed, joy-filled ceremonies that feel deeply personal and wildly you

I’ve been lucky enough to stand beside hundreds of incredible couples as they begin the next chapter of their lives, and let me tell you — it never gets old. Whether you’re planning a barefoot beach elopement, a rainforest adventure, or a big colourful celebration with all your favourite people, I’ll be right there with you  — bringing energy, meaning and genuine joy to your big day.

My ceremonies are full of heart, laughter, and those tender emotional moments that make everyone tear up (even the ones who swore they wouldn’t). I’m here to help you feel calm, connected, and totally present — and to make sure your ceremony is never the bit people forget, but the part they’ll talk about forever.

What it’s like to work with me….

From the moment you enquire, I’m in your corner. We’ll breeze through the paperwork together, I’ll guide you with my fun (yes, really) Couples Questionnaire, and then we’ll catch up — over cocktails, coffee or Zoom — to co-create a ceremony that hits all the right notes.

On the big day, I’ll be your fairy godmother: part storyteller, part emotional support human, part hype girl. Think polished but personal. Professional but playful. A little sentimental, a little sweet — and always tuned in to what matters most.

Don’t just take it from me

I could talk about ceremonies and love stories all day (and often do), but nothing says it better than the words of the beautiful couples I’ve had the privilege of marrying.

Take a scroll through some real weddings, read what past couples had to say, and see why this work fills my heart every single time.

One of a kind

Weddings, elopements & love in all its forms

Whether you’re planning a grand “festival of love” or an intimate elopement in the hills of Queensland, I’m here for it. I love working with couples who value depth and humour, who want to do things their way, and who care more about how the day feels than how it looks (although let’s be honest — it’ll look amazing too).

From same-sex celebrations to barefoot beach vows, destination weddings to wild bush elopements — I’m proud to create inclusive, authentic, meaningful ceremonies for couples of all kinds. Love is love, and your story deserves a ceremony that’s colourful, fun and unapologetically you.

Ali was calm & in control when it rained asking everyone to join us under the trees and surround us with their love. It honestly made the ceremony, and all of our guests were so impressed!:  We can not recommend Ali enough! She is such a beautiful soul and incredible celebrant. We have been to a few weddings and knew what we didn’t want in a celebrant: boring and cliche readings, poor public speaking and the inability to really get the guests feeling all of those beautiful emotions. We decided to book Ali as our celebrant as she could completely tailor our ceremony to suit our personalities, relationship and beliefs. She guided us through the whole process and made us feel comfortable and confident everything would run perfectly on the day. It was raining on our wedding day and we had an outdoor ceremony, Ali was calm and in control the whole time and improvised when it started to rain after our vows. Instead of leaving our guests to panic and be uncomfortable in the rain, she asked everyone to join us under the trees and surround us with their love. It honestly made the ceremony, and all of our guests were so impressed with Ali and all gave us their positive review of her. There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. We can’t thank Ali enough for officiating our special day, we wouldn’t have wanted it to be anyone else!

Her industry connections are absolutely what you need when trying to plan such an important event. I couldn't have imagined anything better..the most incredible day of my life. She also made including my 1 year old daughter (who absolutely adored her) beyond easy and even helped us on the day with her to make the day that much more magical: Ali was beyond anything we could have imagined she would be. From the moment we first messaged Ali, her communication and presentation was all spot on which was what made us want to go further with her. Her connections in the community are absolutely what you need when trying to plan such an important event in your life. Ali's personality is so calm and comforting that the minute you speak to her you feel like you've known her forever. We started planning our elopement 6 weeks out and without her 90% of it wouldn't have happened or come together so smoothly as it did on the day. I honestly couldn't have imagined anything better it was the most incredible day of my life. From helping with planning, to helping with my lack of decision making Ali was there every step of the way and made it seem effortless. She also made including my 1 year old daughter (who absolutely adored her) beyond easy and even helped us on the day with her to make the day that much more magical. If your struggling finding someone just give Ali a call and you won't have to make any calls after that because you will be hooked like we were.

Honestly, we're convinced there's no one better in Australia. Not just a celebrant; you're a magician when it comes to making wedding dreams come true. A true pro, ray of sunshine & absolute joy to work with. We just had to drop you a note to say a HUGE thank you for being the absolute rockstar marriage celebrant behind our dream wedding in Palm Cove. Seriously, you made our "family holiday with a wedding on the side" a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we couldn't be happier! From the moment we got in touch, you made us feel like old friends, not just clients. And that idea you had for our ceremony location in Palm Cove? Pure genius! We couldn't have asked for a more picture-perfect spot. It was like something out of a fairy tale. Your warm and friendly nature put us at ease from day one, and your sense of humour had us laughing through the nerves. You're the perfect blend of professionalism and approachability, making us feel like we had a friend officiating our wedding. Your thoughtful ideas and personal touches took our ceremony to a whole new level. It truly felt like "us," and those are the moments we'll cherish forever. You made wedding planning a breeze and an absolute blast. We're already thinking, "Can we do it all over again?" One of the best parts? Our whole family fell head over heels for you, just like we did. You didn't just officiate our wedding; you became a part of our special day in a way we never expected.Honestly, we're convinced there's no one better in Palm Cove or anywhere else in Australia. You're not just a celebrant; you're a magician when it comes to making wedding dreams come true. Ali, thank you, thank you, thank you, from the depths of our hearts, for making our "family holiday" wedding so incredibly perfect. You're a true pro, a ray of sunshine, and an absolute joy to work with. We feel beyond lucky to have had you be a part of our big day. Sending you all the love and gratitude,

With your gentle guidance we created a ceremony that was simple yet beautiful, encapsulated the essence of our relationship and involved our family in such a lovely way so as to make the day memorable for everyone. Thank you for making our wedding day so special. When I met you I knew you’d make our day fun, relaxed and special. You really delivered. You figured out pretty quickly we wanted a fuss-free wedding that would be meaningful to us and our small group of closest family. Your Planning Guide was so helpful in giving us ideas to make the ceremony extra special and nut out what we did and didn’t want to include. The inclusion of a personalized hand fasting ceremony really got our family involved and created a beautiful keepsake we will treasure forever. Our fur-baby Cookie loved her time in the spotlight as ring bearer. You built such a rapport with her and she was loving her important role in the ceremony. We would recommend you to any couple including their furry friends in the formalities. Most importantly, thank you for going above and beyond. From adjusting the groom’s suit last minute and helping coordinate the music, to getting to know the family, pouring the Champagne and giving so many puppy cuddles to Cookie you really made the day flow seamlessly. When COVID caused us to reschedule you were happy to reset your plans and when we mentioned we wanted a virtual guest you effortlessly involved her in the ceremony. Your professional yet personal approach made everyone feel so comfortable. You made what could have been a very stressful experience, actually a really special day that we enjoyed thoroughly and will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you xox

The most important thing you should know about Ali is that when you are in her presence, she makes you feel like the most important person at that moment in time. I loved everything about our ceremony but if I had to pick one thing, it was the effortless flow of how everything ran so smoothly. Our ceremony was completely tailored to our needs by Ali, she is so easy to work with and very approachable. She made us feel comfortable from the first conversation which is so important when planning a destination wedding. She made the ceremony very lively and engaged our 4 guests beautifully. We felt truly in the zone and in our own love bubble thanks to such a beautiful delivery by her. I also loved that she captured the essence of our relationship and elaborated it like a story. We trusted her and just left everything in her hands while we relaxed into the day and she definitely exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend to anyone who is wanting to have a stress free, relaxed and personalized ceremony to reach out to Ali. Once again thank you so much for looking after us so well on the day.

Her skillful orchestration and eloquence transformed it into an experience that will forever be etched in our memories. Heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Ali Conroy for turning our day into absolute joy and enchantment. Ali's unwavering support guided us seamlessly through the intricate pre-wedding preparations, and her serene and composed demeanour proved to be a saving grace as she effortlessly resolved a few unexpected hiccups on the big day. The ceremony was a tapestry of emotions woven with Ali's exquisite words with a profound weight of meaning and significance. It was as if she had an innate ability to pluck the most heartfelt sentiments from us and present them in a way that left us spellbound. With Ali at the helm, our special moment unfolded like a fairytale. Her skilful orchestration and eloquence transformed it into an experience that will forever be etched in our memories. If we could relive it a thousand times over, we wouldn't change a single detail, for Ali's touch made it magical.
