Maria and Richard Rowland

Maria and Richard Rowland are Adelaide's only husband-and-wife celebrant pairing, and the division of labour is the whole idea. Richard cues the music and works the guests. Maria settles the nerves and sorts the bridal party before anyone walks. Their ceremonies mix humour with the romantic bits and stay recognisably about the couple rather than the script. Richard's award-winning DJ and MC work carries through to the reception, so the same pair who ran the vows are still steering the room at the last dance. Adelaide based.
