Your Queer Celebrant

Celebrant background: Hey there! My name is Divina Blanca-Jackson and I am a registered marriage celebrant in Melbourne. If you're looking for a celebrant like no other, then I'm the one for you.

Weddings don’t have to be stuffy and old-fashioned. Together, we can craft a celebration that's as unique and vibrant as you are!

At Your Queer Celebrant creates everyone is accepted and embraced. As a queer person, I know first-hand the beauty, strength and triumph of the queer journey. Let's create inclusive ceremonies that create empowering experiences that affirm love in all its forms.

After your wedding day, it takes a village to strengthen and sustain love. Together, we can create a wedding ceremony that honours community values to unite hearts and create a foundation for your love.
Why I'm a celebrant: I started Your Queer Celebrant because when I planned my own wedding I had to balance my cultural rituals, my family’s conservative expectation of who can be married, and my (and my now wife’s) values, beliefs and personality.

Basically, I wanted someone like me.

And I didn’t think that was too much to ask for. After all, if a white, straight couple can find a white, straight celebrant then why couldn’t I find a queer, person of colour as my celebrant?

When I looked for a celebrant who could relate to that, I couldn’t find anyone (but if you are let me know if you’re out there!).

So I decided to be that person.

While planning my wedding, I started studying to be a wedding celebrant. Now here I am!

I’m a queer celebrant - and I could be your queer celebrant.
