Welcome to Au Love Stories

My name is Ashlee Au (pronounced ‘ow’ as in ‘vow’), but most people just call me Ash. I’m a civil marriage celebrant (Commonwealth Registered, if you want to get all fancy) servicing Melbourne, Gippsland and beyond.

Let me be a part of your love story

A little bit about me

Originally from Gippsland, I spent over 10 years in Melbourne where I went to uni and started a career in preventative health. I married my high school sweetheart in 2017 and together we share our adopted greyhound, Gary and young daughters, Rosie and Thea.

Why did I become a celebrant? Well, it all started because I thought it would be pretty cool to marry two of my best friends, which lead to me completing a Certificate IV in Celebrancy. Since taking maternity leave from my full time job, I’ve moved back to the Latrobe Valley and noticed opportunities for a warm, personable marriage celebrant, and with that, ‘Au Love Stories’ was born.

Now, enough about me. I want to hear about your love story!

Services

What’s On Offer

Well, you tell me! – getting married is a day all about YOU!

I will work with you to understand what vibe you’re after and do my best to bring the ceremony to life.

Relaxed, simple ceremonies are my go-to.

As well as an awesome ceremony, I will also take care of all the legal requirements involved in getting you married, including completing and lodging paperwork.

Not getting married? I can also perform other ceremonies such as vow renewal and naming ceremonies.

The Nitty Gritty

No two marriage ceremonies are the same, but most do follow a particular format.

The standard wedding ceremony service includes:

  • All meetings and correspondence
  • Personalised wedding ceremony
  • Supply of PA system
  • Performance of marriage ceremony
  • Completion and registration of all legal marriage documents
  • Celebrant travel (within 100km of Traralgon, VIC)
  • Application and payment of official marriage certificate from Births Deaths and Marriages (BDM)

To give you a bit of an idea, the average cost for Au Love Stories is $900, but this will vary depending on things like additional travel, type of ceremony (eg. legals only), length of ceremony and other additions. Please get in touch to confirm costs.

“I could not recommend Ash enough for any future couples. She made my day so special and helped things run so smoothly”.

“Ash has such a warm nature that put us at ease, connected with the crowd so effortlessly and perfectly articulated our story together. She’s witty and funny but also speaks from the heart, and did an amazing job at making the ceremony uniquely ours”
