Tamborine Mountain's Fun, Award-Winning Marriage Celebrant
Modern ceremonies. Genuine laughs. Zero cheese. On one of Queensland's most beautiful mountains.
Hey there — I'm Dr Lynette Maguire, marriage celebrant, Justice of the Peace, and PhD, based on beautiful Tamborine Mountain. I conduct weddings, elopements, funerals, and pop-up micro weddings across the Scenic Rim, Gold Coast hinterland, and beyond — Canungra, Beaudesert, Boonah, Gold Coast, Brisbane. Wherever you're tying the knot, I'll be there.
I work with couples who want to enjoy their wedding day rather than stress about it. If that's you, we're probably a perfect match.
Everyone Deserves a Fabulous Wedding Ceremony (Along With a Few Laughs)
Most people assume the celebration starts at the reception. Who made that rule? I've been making ceremonies genuinely fun for over 18 years — modern, interactive, warm, and completely cheese-free. Your guests will actually enjoy it. Pinky promise.
I ask every couple the same question: Do you want your ceremony to be more fun, or more emotional? Most of the time, the answer is both — so the vast majority of my ceremonies are a beautiful 50/50 balance. Modern. Interactive. A few laughs. Real tears. No cringe.
I have a strict NO BRIDEZILLA rule. If you're getting stressed — ring me. I've been doing this long enough that I've dealt with most wedding dramas and I'll have an easy fix.

What My Couples and Colleagues Say
"Lynette goes out of her way to create a ceremony that suits you as a couple. There were tears, smiles, and full-on belly laughs! The ceremony truly was a celebration. I'd recommend Lynette to any couple." — Emily & Paul
"She is one of my favourites. Her professionalism, caring nature and wonderful sense of humour put a smile on every face and a tear in many eyes." — Andrej, professional wedding photographer
Tamborine Mountain is one of Queensland's most stunning wedding destinations — rainforest, rolling Scenic Rim views, gorgeous hinterland venues, and that magical golden light. I know this area intimately and I can point you to venues, photographers, and suppliers who do exceptional work without ripping you off.
Thinking of something intimate? My pop-up wedding packages are designed for exactly this setting — everything sorted, nothing stressful, from just the two of you up to 30 guests.
Planning from afar? I'll make the logistics easy. Not sure where to start with the legal paperwork? It's simpler than you think — and as a JP, I handle it all.

We had Lynette marry us at Flaxton Gardens and she was a lot of fun! We wanted something not too soppy, but light-hearted and fun so our guests enjoyed the ceremony too and that's exactly what Lynette did. Our guests laughed and cried throughout and they all commented on how fun she had made it. Lynette also guided us throughout the process from the day we booked her to assist us with our vows, the style of the ceremony and the legal paperwork so it was an exciting process rather than daunting. I've watched the video back so many times of just the ceremony with a big smile on my face. I'd recommend Lynette to any couple that would like their wedding ceremony to be a celebration filled with laughter and love for you to have fun with not only the person you are marrying but with all your loved ones that are watching too.
Thank you, Lynette, for being you! X

Check out this hilarious phone message I received from a fabulous couple I married. There's a bit of colourful language, so not appropriate if you're at work or there's kids around. I think they were still celebrating when they called. I'm so glad I couldn't get to the phone, so this was immortalised for you. Have a listen:
