Robyn Cooper, Canberra marriage celebrant and Reception HostAuthorised Marriage Celebrant

Hi, I'm Robyn Cooper

A lifetime of service, now devoted to life's meaningful moments.

Before becoming a celebrant, I proudly served in the military and worked as a public servant and nurse. Those roles taught me compassion, respect, resilience and how important it is to be a calm, reassuring presence during life's most significant moments.

Family has always been at the heart of everything I do. I believe ceremonies are much more than formalities. They celebrate love, honour lives, welcome new beginnings and create memories that families and friends carry with them.

Every story deserves to be told with warmth and meaning. It would be my honour to create a ceremony that feels genuine, heartfelt and authentically yours.

Kind words and photographs shared by clients whose meaningful moments I have been honoured to celebrate.

“From the very beginning, Robyn brought warmth, kindness and genuine care. Her words were heartfelt, personal and perfectly captured the love and joy of the occasion. She made our ceremony feel intimate, meaningful and unforgettable.”

Good questions are always welcome

Things couples and families often ask

Planning a ceremony can bring up questions you have never needed to ask before. Here are the useful answers.

Ask Robyn directly →
01Where do you perform ceremonies?

I am based in Canberra and travel throughout the ACT, regional New South Wales and beyond by arrangement. Wedding package travel allowances are shown in the package comparison above.

02Can we make the ceremony personal?

Absolutely. Your ceremony can include your story, personal vows, readings, music, family members, cultural elements and meaningful rituals. We will choose what fits you and leave out what does not.

03Do you perform multicultural ceremonies?

Yes. Multicultural ceremonies are warmly welcomed. I will work closely with you and your families to respectfully include the traditions, customs, readings, music, rituals or languages that are meaningful to you, while ensuring the legal requirements of an Australian marriage ceremony are properly met.

04Can we book you as both celebrant and reception host?

Yes. The services can be booked together or separately. When I perform both roles, the legal ceremony is completed first and the reception host role begins afterward, with clear professional boundaries throughout.

05Do you welcome LGBTQIA+ couples and families?

Yes. Love is love, and every couple and family deserves to feel respected, welcomed and completely at ease.

06Can children, family or friends take part?

Yes. They can share a reading, offer a blessing, make a family promise, present rings, sign a keepsake or take part in a symbolic ritual. Their role should feel meaningful, not like a school assignment sprung on them at breakfast.

07What happens with wedding paperwork?

I guide you through the required documents, explain what is needed and make sure the legal side is properly handled. You will know what is happening and when, without needing to become a part-time paperwork detective.

08Do you offer a service discount?

Yes. I offer 10% off ceremonies for uniformed Military members, Emergency Services personnel and Nurses, in recognition of the work they do for our community.

09What will you wear?

I dress professionally and appropriately for the setting. For weddings, I am happy to coordinate with your colours so I complement the photographs rather than compete with them.

Every ceremony starts with a conversation

Tell me what matters to you.

You do not need to have every detail decided. Share what you know, and we can take it from there.
