I’m Craig Batchelor. I’m thirty-seven years young with a lust for life. I happily call Sydney and the Central Coast of NSW home and have a great love for the ocean and outdoors. I also love love. How good is this thing that makes you talk in a dorky voice saying things you swore you’d never say. I’m pretty passionate about how much I love love which is why I became a celebrant. Your story – and your love – is like none that have come before and so your wedding day should beam and scream you, which I would love to create. I’m a young, vibrant, and fun loving Sydney based Marriage Celebrant who LOVES a velvet jacket and a bow tie! The most important thing you need to know is that I love LOVE & I will bring all the feels to your ceremony! I became an authorised Marriage Celebrant for two reasons because I love love and because it gives me an excuse to constantly top up my velvet jacket, bow tie and pocket square collection.
A few years ago my best friend asked me to officiate her wedding ceremony in New York. It was such an incredibly love-drenched, joy-filled and life-affirming experience that on the flight home I decided I would start studying to become a Marriage Celebrant in Australia. I’ve got a lifetime of experience as a writer, editor and presenter in my back pocket. I’m a former magazine editor (I was at the helm of Gourmet Traveller, Sunday Life, CLEO and Girlfriend) and I’ve been a contributor to the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. So, if you’d like a journalist with over 20 years of experience at crafting great stories to pen your wedding ceremony, we should work together.
