Michael & Margaret Janz — A Celebrant Duo With Heart, Experience, and a Shared Love of Storytelling
Many couples are pleasantly surprised to discover that I’m not the only celebrant in the family. My wife, Margaret, is also an authorised marriage celebrant — and together, we offer something truly special to the couples we serve.
Over more than four decades of marriage, we’ve raised a family, built meaningful careers in leadership and care, and shared a lifetime of stories. Naturally, becoming celebrants felt like an extension of who we already were: warm, people‑focused, and deeply committed to helping others mark life’s most significant moments with clarity, confidence, and heart.
Although we each run our own celebrant business, we work in close partnership. We support one another, exchange insights, and provide couples with the reassurance that comes from having a united, experienced team behind them.
Two Celebrants. One Shared Philosophy.
Even though our styles differ, our values remain perfectly aligned:
- Every couple deserves a ceremony that feels personal, authentic, and beautifully told.
- Professionalism and preparation matter — especially on a day when nothing should be left to chance.
- Warmth, calmness, and genuine connection create the best ceremony experience.
- Your story is the centrepiece, not the celebrant.
This shared philosophy guides everything we do, whether you choose me, choose Margaret, or meet both of us before deciding who feels right for your day.
Why Couples Love Having Two Celebrants to Choose From
1. Complementary Styles
- Michael: Warm, confident, polished delivery shaped by 30+ years of presenting and leadership.
- Margaret: Graceful, nurturing, and deeply intuitive, with a background in nursing and management.
As a result, couples often tell us that meeting both of us helps them instantly recognise the celebrant who feels like “their person.”
2. Built‑In Peace of Mind
Life happens — even to celebrants. Because we work as a celebrant couple, you receive a rare level of reassurance. If illness or an emergency ever arises, your ceremony remains fully protected. One of us will step in seamlessly, ensuring your day unfolds exactly as planned.
This is something solo celebrants simply can’t offer.
3. Shared Experience Across Sydney’s Best Venues
From the Royal Botanic Gardens to Gunners’ Barracks, Curzon Hall, Vaucluse House, and the Eastern Suburbs coastline, we’ve officiated ceremonies across Sydney’s most iconic locations.
Together, we share insights, logistics, and venue knowledge — giving you the benefit of two experienced professionals working quietly behind the scenes.
