Congratulations on choosing to celebrate your marriage in the beautiful South West of Western Australia. Whether you are dreaming of a white sandy beach, a towering majestic forest, a romantic garden, a historic homestead, or maybe a wedding chapel by the sea, the Margaret River region has a location that will provide the perfect backdrop for your special day.

My name is Emma Dickson and I am a civil marriage celebrant in the Margaret River Wine Region. I am happily married with three beautiful, energetic children, and I was born and bred in this beautiful part of the world. I provide services throughout the South West, including the towns of Busselton, Dunsborough, Margaret River, Yallingup and Augusta.

I really love weddings - for me there is nothing more gratifying than seeing people celebrate their love. I love helping couples create something really special.

I am enthusiastic, professional, vibrant and attentive. I create each ceremony individually and I pay close attention to the small details. I care about my couples, and it is important to me that I create and deliver the type of ceremony that they want.

I can provide you with a wide choice of sample ceremonies for ideas and inspiration, and can help you create your own unique ceremony, allowing you to have as much or as little input as you choose - as long the legal requirements are met, the rest is up to you. I promise to create a ceremony which will become a keepsake that you will treasure forever.

Of course I take care of all of the paperwork and I have a quality portable PA system which can also be used to play music.

From a simple private ceremony to something elaborate and formal, I will ensure that you can relax, have fun, and most importantly, enjoy every moment of your special day.
