Welcome

I’m Jen Lilburn, a Geelong civil celebrant who believes in the power of meaningful moments.

Whether you’re honouring a life, marrying your love, renewing your vows, welcoming a child, or marking a milestone, I work closely with you to create a ceremony that feels personal, grounded, and true to who you are.

With a background in storytelling, facilitation, and supporting people through life’s biggest transitions, I bring warmth, calm, and genuine care to every occasion.

My approach is collaborative and empathetic. I listen deeply, guide gently, and craft ceremonies that elevate your story with clarity, heart, and authenticity. 

From the joyful to the solemn, the simple to the intricate, together we create ceremonies that honour love, embrace life, and celebrate legacy. Moments that stay with you long after the day is done.

If you’re looking for a celebrant who will support you, understand you,
and shape a ceremony that reflects
your values and vision,
I’d love to walk alongside you.

I’m a Geelong celebrant creating personal, thoughtful ceremonies for weddings and funerals across Geelong, the Bellarine, Surf Coast and beyond.

I have a Certificate IV in Celebrancy (The Gordon TAFE) and bring 20+ years of facilitation, listening and story-gathering experience to my celebrant work.
