It is a joy and a privilege to share in your special day!

Hello, I am Dr Diana Carroll, a fully qualified Certified Marriage Celebrant authorised to conduct civil weddings and other important life ceremonies. Based in Adelaide, I am now taking bookings for 2024 Ceremonies in Adelaide and across Australia.

As a Celebrant, I draw on my many years experience as a writer, professional public speaker, and event manager. Every Ceremony is written just for you and is fully personalised to reflect your own beliefs and values.

I will create a very special Ceremony just for you and deliver it with style and confidence.

"Thank you again for being part of our day. We had so much positive response from everyone. They loved you!! We loved you! You were amazing, Diana! We couldn't have had a more perfect Ceremony."
Mariah and Dylan

"The wonderful Diana Carroll married us. The ceremony was perfect for us and too much fun!"
Claire and Sam


I was thrilled to be chosen as one of Adelaide Now's WOW FACTOR Celebrants.



Worried about the speeches at your wedding reception? Here's an article I wrote for Woman's Day.


"Thank you so much, Diana, you were amazing. It was an awesome day - thanks again for making our life complete."
Alex and Chris


Just Married! The happy couple with Diana.


As a Celebrant, I conduct wedding ceremonies, vow renewals, and naming ceremonies. I also offer commitment ceremonies for couples who want a ceremony without a formal marriage.

Your Ceremony should be true to you and reflect your dreams, values, and beliefs. Some couples dream of having a big wedding and like to spend a year or two planning every last detail.

Other couples want a quiet wedding alone or with just a few family and friends. But that doesn't mean you have to book an impersonal registry office wedding. I am very happy to conduct a simple, affordable ceremony for you at your choice of venue. And every ceremony is still personalised just for you.

So if you'd like something simple but special, please just ask! And if you're thinking of eloping, remember you must give at least one month’s notice of intending marriage.

If you've set the date, please give me a call to discuss your perfect Ceremony. Surprise weddings, elopements, kids and dogs, something different and quirky are all welcome! It’s your day – let’s do it your way!

Please call me on 0419 829 667 or email: diana@bestweddingcelebrant.com.au

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

"I'm raving to everyone about you and how delightful you were on our wedding day."
