    Our amazing Story Teller & MC - Marcus Armstrong

    Finding a great celebrant is such an important part of your wedding, if not one of the most important.
    We stumbled across Marcus on Hitched after quite a long search, and we are so happy we held out until we found him.
    Less than a couple of minutes in to our initial chat we knew he was the right person for us. It felt like we were chatting to a friend we had known for years.
    Over the months leading up to the wedding Marcus helped us create the most amazing ceremony. There was laughter, there was tears. It was the perfect balance of both.
    The storytelling is what makes Marcus so special. He really gets to know you, and portrays the journey of your story - From the moment you met, until the moment you are standing together getting married.
    We had so many people coming up to us saying how amazing the ceremony was.
    Marcus also offers a master of ceremonies package, which is 100% worth doing. Your guests already see him as a familiar and friendly face, and he was so brilliant at ensuring the day flowed smoothly. Thank you again Marcus! X

    You will not find better then Marcus Armstrong!

    Marcus Armstrong was an absolute dream to work with and made our wedding day unforgettable. We booked him just a week before our wedding, and the moment we saw him on a video, we knew he was the one. After months of searching for someone who truly understood our vibe, Marcus immediately felt like the perfect fit. He completely understood us and took our love story to a whole new level in a way that felt so personal and heartfelt.
    The ceremony itself was beyond anything we could have imagined. Marcus crafted a beautifully personal and emotional experience that had our guests laughing, crying, and completely captivated from start to finish. Even some of the more traditional guests, who weren’t sure what to expect from a celebrant-led ceremony, were blown away. His warmth, charm, and authenticity shone through every word, making the entire experience feel effortless and joyful.
    Marcus also MC’d the day, checking in with guests, keeping the schedule flowing, and adding that perfect touch of personality and humor. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcome, engaged, and comfortable. We were constantly asked how we met him and how long he had been our friend, which is just a testament to how amazing he is as he had only known us a week. But by the end of the day, it felt like he wasn’t just our celebrant but a true friend.
    He brought so much joy, laughter, and love to our wedding day, and we genuinely cannot imagine it without him. Marcus isn’t just a celebrant, he’s a storyteller, a host, and someone who makes every couple and guest feel truly special. If you want a ceremony and wedding experience that will be remembered forever, Marcus is absolutely the one. ❤️

    Naming ceremony

    Marcus is (as he says!) the ultimate storyteller! We met Marcus and told him our story of adopting our little girl and buying her the Charlie Mackesy book and from there he took us on an amazing journey. The ceremony made us laugh, made us cry and feel every emotion in between. It was a day we will never forget and better than we ever thought it would be. We look forward to showing our little girl when she is older. Our guests were swept up in the story and every single one has told us how lovely the ceremony was. Both our girls were actively included in the ceremony but Marcus was also ready in case they were distracted by anything! Marcus is genuinely one of the nicest people I have met. He listened to us and included every detail of the personal stories we gave him. We cannot thank him enough for the beautiful day he gave our family.

    Absolutely Marvelous

    Marcus was truly the best celebrant we could have asked for. He went above and beyond—not only delivering the most beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that perfectly captured our story and emotions, but also stepping in almost like a planner on the day itself. He made sure everyone was where they needed to be, kept things running seamlessly, and brought such warmth and calm energy to the whole experience. His speech was thoughtful, funny, and deeply personal; our guests absolutely adored him and were so happy to engage with him throughout the day. It was all completely magical, and we can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a celebrant who genuinely cares and creates something unforgettable.

    Brilliant Officiant

    Marcus made our wedding day so special. He took the time to learn our story and craft a personalized keynote that the guests really enjoyed. He’s a gifted speaker. Marcus also provided guidance around a few lovely rituals we included in the ceremony (quaiche, knot-tying, ring bearers). He’s an absolute professional and we highly recommend him. Enjoy the process!

    Thank you again, and all the love to you both :)

    Wonderfully personal ceremony

    When we started looking for celebrants for our wedding we knew we wanted something a bit more different and liked Marcus's focus on storytelling. He put a lot of effort into helping us figure out what kind of ceremony we wanted, including a venue visit, coming up with new ideas to go with the vibe we wanted to create, and keeping us up to date on the progress. The ceremony ended up being so personal and fitting to us that many guests assumed Marcus had known us for years - it wasn't just the content and writing that impressed everyone, but the fantastic delivery as well. We've received so many compliments on the ceremony and really couldn't have made a better choice for a celebrant.

    Marcus Armstrong - The Storyteller Celebrant's reply:

    Hey Sam!
    Thank you for this. I love that they assumed we'd known each other for years, what a compliment :) :)
    Your ceremony was so cool to put together, and I loved working with you to assemble something that would perfectly reflect the vibe you wanted.
    And I got to do a ceremony in a theatre, so... bucket list moment for me!
    All my love to you both, and thanks again :)

    Marcus was excellent!

    Marcus is wonderfully charismatic and was a delight to work with from day one. He was incredibly professional, warm and welcoming of all of our ideas. He dealt with a couple of problems beforehand and on the day with extraordinary elan. The ceremony he prepared for us was the perfect balance of funny, heartfelt and touching. Lots of our guests mentioned how wonderful he had been. Anyone looking for a celebrant couldn't go wrong talking to Marcus.

    Marcus Armstrong - The Storyteller Celebrant's reply:

    I mean I think the picture you attached says it all!
    Man what a day, this was so much fun. I have introduced Warewolf to countless people in my life since your wedding, and plan on forcing as many people to play it as possible!
    Getting to be such a big part of your day is such an honour, and may your swords rest together, surrounded by your knot, for all time.
    Thank you both :)

    A-M-A-Z-I-N-G MC and Speech Writer

    We are so grateful that we chose Marcus as the MC for our wedding day. He went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we were taken care of at every step. Not only was he professional and attentive, but he was also such a joy to be around—many of our guests even went out of their way to compliment him.

    There was some behind-the-scenes difficulties on the day itself, and Marcus (along with our other wonderful vendors) ensured that we never felt it. Thanks to him, the entire experience felt seamless. He even made special touches happen, like surprising my friend and cousin with birthday balloons, which went such a long way.

    Marcus also helped us with our vows and my husband's speech, making the process fun, easy and stress-free. The results were beautiful and heartfelt—exactly what we had hoped for.

    We couldn’t recommend Marcus more highly. He was an essential part of making our day as special and memorable as it was.

    Marcus Armstrong - The Storyteller Celebrant's reply:

    Thanks so much for this!
    I loved being a part of your day, and am so glad I was able to help things keep running smoothly for you :)
    Thank you for your wonderful review and all my love to you both!
