MEET BECKY BARRY
RURAL CELEBRANT at the end of the aisle
Get Hitched
by the modern, down-to-earth celebrant bringing the fun to weddings all over country Victoria and rural Australia.
Bringing the love and laughter back into rural wedding celebrations
Wedding ceremonies? Let’s be honest – they’re often the part people just want to hurry up and get through though. Once the certificates are signed, there’s a collective sigh of relief, the drinks start flowing, and the party finally kicks off.
But here’s the thing – your ceremony doesn’t have to be the boring bit. It can set the vibe, get your guests laughing (and maybe crying), and start the celebration in a way that actually feels like you.
Let’s make it the standout moment of the day – not just the boring bit before the free beers.
👉🏼 Maybe it’s all those outdated rules telling you how a wedding should go
👉🏼 Maybe it’s the thought of a stiff, scripted ceremony that feels more like a formality than a celebration
👉🏼 Or maybe… you’ve just sat through one too many of your mates’ weddings thinking, “Haven’t I heard all this before?”
Whatever the reason, somewhere along the way, ceremonies got a little same-same.
I'm not gonna hit you with the
Luckily for you...
I just LOVE love
line… but I do love a bloody good wedding.
My own wedding? Bit of a shit show, not gunna lie.
After a (surprise) baby Barry announcement, farmer Rob (aka now-husband farmer Rob) decided it was the perfect time to pop the question with an engagement ring he’d been hiding in the filing cabinet for over 9 (9!!) months.
Deciding to ditch the engagement party (what’s a party when you can’t enjoy a cheeky champers anyway), we thought we may as well “just get married”. Scouring the calendar to find a free weekend, the only date left just so happened to be farmer Rob’s lucky day (his birthday). Our local celebrant Mavis had better plans that arvo, but she kindly offered up some early morning nuptials.
Fast forward six weeks, and there I was – waddling down the aisle in a $70 eBay wedding dress (which, by the way, only arrived five days before the big day). Dad walked me down the aisle, shotgun in hand, straight to Farmer Rob, who looked just as surprised as I did that we’d pulled it all together.
“I do’s” were done, then it was onto the real reason everyone showed up – the party. And the free booze.
The designated driver? That’d be me – pregnant, sober, and very ready to call it a night. After the bar was well and truly drunk dry, I played taxi and dropped everyone off at the pub so they could keep the shenanigans going and I could be left in peace and go home to bed 😴.
Now here we are – 16+ years later, two gorgeous girls, a duck farm near Dimboola, and a pretty bloody good life. And the best bit? These days, I get to marry legends like you.
Oh, and
It’s gunna go off like a frog in a sock 🤘🏼

Spending time enjoying a few quiet (read: loud) bevvies with friends & stealing the limelight (and microphones) from live music acts… can’t take me anywhere!
