A CELEBRANT WHO TRULY GETS IT!

Your love story doesn’t follow a script — neither should your wedding. At Married By A Teddy, we don’t do copy-paste ceremonies. We craft celebrations that are elegant, intimate, outrageously original — and unapologetically you.

Whatever your vision — minimalist, magical, bold, barefoot, or beautifully queer — we’re here to bring it to life (provided it’s legal, of course). If you can dream it, we’ll create it.

Inclusivity isn’t a buzzword here; it’s baked into everything we do. We create ceremony spaces where everyone feels welcome, seen, and celebrated.

And yes, we’ll travel anywhere in the world your love wants to go.

MODERN, ONE-OF-A-KIND. ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY.


No awkward traditions, no assumptions—just a celebration of your love, your way. We celebrant ALL love and ALL identities.

No templates, no clichés—just a love story told your way through one-of-a-kind, custom ceremonies.

UNAPOLOGETICALLY UNIQUE

EVERYONE
BELONGS HERE

Got an idea? If it’s legal, we’ll make it a reality—no concept is too daring.

We handle the legal side, so you can focus on the fun!

MEET TEDDY BELL

Hey lovebirds! I’m Teddy Bell—the vibrant, creative force behind Married By A Teddy and the architect of unforgettable wedding ceremonies. I craft love stories into moments that are bold, joyful, and unmistakably YOU. I believe wedding ceremonies should be fun, inclusive, and bursting with personality, just like the couples they celebrate.

With a passion for breaking the mould, I specialise in ceremonies that are anything but ordinary. Whether it’s an LGBTQIA+ love story, an adventure elopement, a fantasy cosplay wedding, or something wildly unconventional, I’m here to bring it to life—your way, no awkward traditions, no assumptions, just love.

My background is as colourful as the weddings I officiate—I’ve travelled the world, embraced diverse cultures, and developed a deep appreciation for love in all its forms. That’s why I create ceremonies that make everyone feel seen, valued, and part of something special. Expect laughter, maybe a few happy tears, and definitely a touch of mischief along the way!

So, if you’re looking for a celebrant who brings heart, humour, and a whole lot of fabulousness—you’ve found your match.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
