Meet Amanda Rowe
Warm, thoughtful and deeply committed to creating ceremonies that honour the people and stories at their heart.
Professionalism Meets Open-hearted Warmth
I believe the best ceremonies are created when thoughtful preparation and genuine human connection come together.
You need someone who will listen carefully, understand what matters to you and shape your story with warmth and authenticity. You also need someone who is organised, experienced and calm enough to take care of the details.
My background in Marketing and Communications has taught me how to find the heart of a story and share it in a way that connects with people.
My experience in Community Services has deepened my ability to listen, support and stand alongside people during some of life’s most significant moments.
Together, these experiences shape the celebrant I am today: warm, prepared, compassionate and completely invested in creating a ceremony that feels true to you.
From Corporate Campaigns To Life’s Deep Transitions
My journey didn't start at the altar or in a memorial garden; it began in health science, before transitioning into supporting the Chairs of not-for-profit boards.
Transitioning later into the Community Services sector, I learned how to truly hold space for people experiencing life’s most intense transitions—moments of raw vulnerability, deep grief, and soaring joy, both here in Western Australia and while overseeing projects in the developing world.
Prior to moving into Celebrancy, I also oversaw the Marketing and Communications department for a not-for profit organisation.
Across all these vocations I’ve mastered the art of engaging storytelling, and developed an obsessive eye for detail.
Today, I bring that complete lifecycle of experience to House of Vows (WA). I handle the legal compliance and structural moving parts flawlessly so that your milestones can feel completely calm, joyful, and deeply personal.
A Seasoned Guide For Life's Great Chapters
I call Mount Hawthorn home, and my West Leederville office sits right near the freeway entrances, making me central and fully accessible to all corners of our beautiful city. Over the years, I have had the profound honour of stepping into the lives of thousands of families across Western Australia:
Over 550 weddings conducted: From sun-drenched lawn celebrations at premium estates like Sandalford Winery in the Swan Valley, to coastal elopements in Fremantle, and intimate "Legals Only" registry ceremonies in our boutique registry style venue House of Vows WA
Over 1,200 funerals and life celebrations led: Working hand-in-hand with Perth’s most trusted funeral homes to provide calm, steady leadership when families need it most.
The Values I Bring To Your Day
Genuine Care - I take the time to understand the people, relationships and stories behind every ceremony. You will never feel like just another booking in my calendar.
Thoughtful Preparation - Every ceremony begins with listening. From there, I carefully shape the words, structure and details so everything feels natural, meaningful and beautifully considered.
Calm Confidence - Whether plans change, emotions rise or the unexpected happens, I remain steady, prepared and focused on guiding everyone through the moment with warmth and reassurance.
Respect for Every Story - I welcome people of every background, belief, culture and identity. Every ceremony is created from a blank page and written to reflect the people at its heart.
Giving Back Matters to Me
I feel incredibly fortunate to do work I love and to be trusted with some of the most meaningful moments in people’s lives.
For my family and me, that privilege comes with a responsibility to give something back.
A portion of my business income supports organisations working to create greater opportunity for young people in Cambodia, including Flame Cambodia and The Aroha Project.
Through this support, I currently help fund university education for students who are working toward brighter futures for themselves, their families and their communities.
It is a small way of ensuring that every ceremony I conduct contributes to something beyond the day itself.

When I’m Not Leading a Ceremony...
Life outside ceremonies is usually filled with family, long workdays, indoor plants and an appreciation for life’s simplest pleasures.
I love sunsets and clouds - I even have an instagram account specifically of the sky, a crisp gin and tonic at the end of a busy week, and finding another corner of the house that could possibly accommodate one more plant.
At the centre of everything is my family, and a belief I try to carry into every part of life: Be a celebrator of life, love and all the little joys.
Let's start the conversation
Whether you are planning a wedding, creating an intimate ceremony or preparing to farewell someone you love, I would be honoured to hear your story.
Our first conversation is simply an opportunity to meet, talk through what matters to you and see whether I am the right celebrant to stand beside you.
Let’s meet over coffee—or perhaps a cheeky G&T—and begin from there.
