Meet Ken from It’s Your Day Ceremonies
There’s something instantly comforting about meeting a celebrant who makes you laugh. For Ken Hatherley from It’s Your Day Ceremonies, that sense of warmth and humour isn’t just part of his personality – it’s the foundation of his approach to wedding ceremonies.
Based on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, and servicing all of Victoria, including Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, Dandenong Ranges, and beyond, Ken brings a genuine, easy-going style to every celebration. He’s been happily married since 1983 (yes, to Barbie – and yes, he’s heard all the jokes!), so he knows a thing or two about what it takes to make a marriage last.
A Celebrant Who Truly Listens
When couples meet Ken for the first time, one thing becomes clear, he listens. Every couple is different, and Ken ensures their ceremony reflects who they are. Whether you want a short, fuss-free ceremony that focuses on the legalities or something more personal with readings, poems and laughter, he helps you shape a day that feels completely authentic.
He offers a free home visit consultation, guiding you through everything from the legal paperwork to ideas for music, readings, and venues. He even provides a checklist, ceremony samples, and rehearsal options – a truly personal touch that makes the planning process effortless.
A Touch of Humour, A Lot of Heart
Ken’s ceremonies are memorable because they balance emotion with lightness. He believes laughter creates connection, helping everyone relax and enjoy the moment. It’s why his ceremonies are often filled with smiles, happy tears and heartfelt applause.
As Ken says, “A ceremony with laughter captures the moment and is spoken about for years to come.” That blend of sincerity and joy ensures that every couple, and their guests, remember the ceremony for all the right reasons.
More Than Just Weddings
While Ken is known for crafting unforgettable wedding ceremonies, his warm and engaging presence makes him the perfect celebrant for renewal of vows, commitment ceremonies, naming days, and milestone celebrations. Whatever the occasion, he’ll create a relaxed and meaningful ceremony that feels uniquely yours.
