Sydney Japanese Wedding Celebrant
Warm, Personal & Full of Good Vibes
Hi, I'm Megumi!
I’m a Sydney based marriage celebrant, MC and coordinator, creating heartfelt and fun ceremonies that feel genuinely you.
Originally from Tokyo, and now a Sydneysider of 20+ years, I’ve been a wedding celebrant since 2012. And I’m endlessly grateful for every couple who’s trusted me with their day.
I’ve celebrant-ed weddings of every kind from intimate elopements to ballroom celebrations, everywhere from a skate park to a movie theatre to heritage venues, and for couples from so many backgrounds, multicultural weddings, and of course couples who have a special connection to Japan.
Whether it’s the big emotional moments or the tiny details, I make sure everything flows beautifully and reflects who you are — with warmth, personality, and a touch of style!

A bit more about me
I grew up in Tokyo, watching all the Hayao Miyazaki anime before Studio Ghibli existed and playing the first “Family Computer” aka Nintendo games. In my teens and early 20s, I lived and breathed Tokyo street culture and fashion.
I was always good at Japanese and English in school. After high school, I wanted to become a fashion editor but my parents said they’d only pay for an English course. Fine, English it was.
Naturally, I became interested in living in an English speaking country. I saved hard for a year and hoped to go to London – because that was where all the cool fashion and culture came from, but the study program I was with offered me Australia instead.
Australia? Koala? Warmer? Fine, Australia then.
I had an awesome time. Hanging out in a Brisbane shopping mall with Savage Garden on repeat…
… wasn’t quite like the cool London life I imagined, but Australia won me over. With my newly aquired Aussie English, I spent most of my 20s in and out of Tokyo, travelling around the world – Europe, South East Asia, India, China and Japan. No career ambitions or life plans, I just travelled… And I had the time of my life!
But…when travelling becomes your daily life, you eventually starts to crave structured “normal” life. Eventually I came back to Australia, studied more and became an interpreter/translator. I met my husband at Cricketer’s Arms in Surry Hills, designed clothes with him, sold vintage scandinavian homeware, became a wife, mother of 2 beautiful girls, and a celebrant, initially part time, now this is my full time job.
I love fashion, art, Japanese and Indian food, sake over wine, some coffee, more green tea.
And yes, I do love Hello Kitty—we were born in the same year! (but don’t look it up how old hahaha)
