I’m Your New Celebrant Bestie

I’m Teddy Bell (he/him) — a Melbourne-based wedding celebrant and ceremony designer creating modern, inclusive, and deeply personal celebrations for couples and individuals of all identities. I craft ceremonies that feel like you — not templates, scripts, or traditions revived for tradition’s sake.

I specialise in:

  • Modern, non-religious wedding ceremonies

  • LGBTQIA+ inclusive celebrations

  • Identity and gender affirmation ceremonies

  • Vow renewals and milestone moments

  • Emotive, intentional ceremony hosting

  • Professional emcee and event guiding

Whether it’s a bespoke ceremony in Melbourne, an intimate elopement on a mountaintop, an identity celebration with chosen family, or a vow renewal under the sun — I bring calm presence, thoughtful rhythm, and human warmth to every moment.

A Little More About Me

White blank square for image placeholder

I’ve travelled to more than 90 countries, lived overseas, and learned how stories, cultures, and people connect across the world. That curiosity informs how I hold space for you.

I’m also a musician, which means rhythm, pacing, and emotional flow aren’t just concepts — they’re built into how I design ceremonies from the first conversation to the final moment.

The love of my life is Disco, my three-year-old Golden Retriever, who keeps me grounded, joyful, and very well walked.

And I’m also neurodivergent, which shapes how I work in genuinely useful ways. I notice details others miss, I read rooms carefully, and I think a lot about how people feel in shared spaces. That awareness helps me design and deliver ceremonies that feel considered, steady, and that don't let anything important slip through the cracks.

My Approach

I combine:

  • Legal precision with heartfelt delivery

  • Inclusive language as standard

  • Calm, grounded presence on the day

  • Ceremony design that honours you

  • Unwavering support through the process

  • Unlimited creative ideas on ways to bring your dream to life

People often tell me they felt supported without being managed, guided without pressure, and truly seen — not just ceremonially represented.

What Sets Me Apart

I’m not here to read a script — I’m here to tell your story.

You’re not just hiring a celebrant — you’re choosing someone who:

  • honours your identity

  • champions your love

  • holds the emotional weight of the moment

  • creates space for meaning and connection

Let’s Connect

If you want your ceremony to feel calm, inclusive, and authentically you — I’d love to hear from you.
