Peter Matthews Celebrant

About Peter Matthews Celebrant

Peter Matthews is a professionally trained authorised celebrant who says he has been conducting marriage ceremonies and funeral services for over 35 years. His site sums up his approach as not just qualified but experienced. He describes weddings as joyous, fun, beautiful and unique, based on honesty, commitment, heartfelt expression and truth, and one of the most important moments in the lives of two people.

Your personal needs and wishes come first for Peter. He works closely with each couple and spends whatever time is needed to create a ceremony with quality, sensitivity and warmth. Couples in his reviews mention home visits over Tim Tams, a personal memory book to look back on each anniversary, special touches to remember family members who have passed, and his calm, cheerful presence on the day, including when he stepped in at very late notice.

Several couples also thank Rhonwyn, who works alongside Peter organising the music and sound for ceremonies. Reviews mention weddings at Camellia Gardens, Camden Valley Lodge, Mt Keira Lookout, Bulli Beach, Bass Point Reserve, Austinmer Beach, Sandon Point, Panorama House and the Old Court House in Berry, reflecting how widely he travels across the region.

Alongside weddings, Peter conducts naming ceremonies, renewals of vows and funerals, and leads remembrance services at Wollongong Memorial Gardens for Mother's Day, Father's Day and Christmas. He is also involved with the Port Kembla and Dapto RSL Sub Branch for ANZAC Day and remembrance services. He offers a no-obligation meeting and works across Sydney, Wollongong and the Illawarra, the Southern Highlands, the Shoalhaven and the South Coast.
