About Fiona Covassi Civil Celebrant

Fiona Covassi is an Adelaide marriage celebrant described on her site as outgoing, fun, warm and compassionate, and as someone who absolutely loves weddings. She credits her strong communication skills to many years in the field of education, which her site says has given her a gift for writing ceremonies. Her stated goal is a ceremony that is professional, uncomplicated, efficient, enjoyable, fun and stress free.

Fiona focuses on building rapport, listening to each couple's story and working collaboratively to turn it into a ceremony that is unique to them. She is highly experienced in public speaking and training, prides herself on being reliable and highly organised, and will drive any distance for a wedding without charging exorbitant fees. Couples receive a draft of their ceremony one to two weeks before the day, so they can have their say and there are no surprises.

Her ceremony service includes an obligation-free first appointment, preparation of all legal documentation, at least two face-to-face meetings, creative ideas and guidance, a professional PA system that can play your music, and a signing table with chairs. You receive your certificate of marriage and a copy of your written ceremony, she lodges your documents with Births, Deaths and Marriages, and rehearsals at your chosen venue come at no extra cost.

Beyond weddings, Fiona conducts renewals of vows, commitment ceremonies, naming ceremonies and funerals. Couples quoted on her site describe her as warm, down to earth and easy to talk to, someone who put them at ease with the legal side and had guests laughing and crying with joy. One couple notes that when a COVID lockdown postponed their wedding, she made sure she could still officiate on their new date.
