Welcome to
MJ Celebrant

Celebrate love with us through memorable ceremonies.

How can I help with your special day

Hello! I am
Melanie Jackson.

Married to the love of my life Daniel,  Mum to three amazing children Tayla, Brayden and Blake and fur Mummy to Pluto and Hugo. I have worked in customer service and event management roles for twenty five years and have been very fortunate to work alongside, train and create lifelong friendships with amazing people along the way.

As a guest at a wedding on a Whitsunday island years ago, a cyclone hit and the celebrant was unable to ferry across to conduct the ceremony. I was asked to step in and officiate the vows (before the legal ones could be done once the weather cleared days later) and from that moment on I knew this was my dream job, one that I was destined to do!

11 times a bridesmaid has also sparked my love for planning, organisation and creating memorable moments.

I’d be honoured to be a special part of someone's significant event, whether it be farewelling a loved one, recommitting to a lifelong relationship or commencing their marriage journey, and I always commit 100% to each and every ceremony.

Let's see how I can help you
  • My new husband and I had the absolute pleasure of having Mel as our co officiate celebrant when we were married in April, and honestly, we couldn’t imagine our day without her.

    - Alyssa & Tom

  • From the start, Mel brought so much warmth and care into the planning process. She didn’t just help us organise a ceremony, she helped us reflect on who we are as a couple and how far we’ve come.

    - Belinda & Dylan

  • Mel held the space so beautifully. She spoke with such grace and sincerity, making our guests laugh, tear up, and feel so connected to what was happening. We have had several guests comment on how heartfelt and personal our ceremony was, and that’s entirely thanks to Mel’s thoughtful guidance and genuine passion for what she does.

    - Eileen & Michael

  • I highly recommend Melanie as a celebrant for any occasion- her empathy is outstanding and she makes everyone feel at ease and warm….She was kind, compassionate and sensitive delivering a ceremony that was memorable and respectful for the family.

    - Renee Campton

  • We were so lucky to have Melanie as the celebrant for our daughter's naming day. She was absolutely amazing and the perfect addition who brought our celebration together beautifully. Melanie was easy-going, friendly and so approachable, while still being completely professional throughout the whole process.
