Mona Chung-Chao - Civil Marriage Celebrant

Mona is a celebrant like no other, creating custom & unique readings personalised for each couple in the form of letters. Mona was the celebrant at our cousin’s wedding and when we first met her, knew that we just had to have her for our big day too.

Our initial consultation with Mona was incredibly helpful as she helped us work out our day’s schedule including the nitty gritty details of things you won’t even have thought to think about. She helped make the process so seamless & easy, is so patient and constantly touches base with you to ensure all is going smooth leading up to the day.

Mona is professional, lovely, kind & gentle & her calm voice, personality & nature matched our theme perfectly. Her words & delivery captured everyone in the room, so much so that I’m sure my mum cried before the ceremony even started & there was not a dry eye in the room!

We will be recommending Mona to all our family & friends for future weddings & if you’re looking for that perfect celebrant for your special day, we can’t speak highly of Mona enough!

Thank you Mona!

Every wedding is unique and that’s where Mona works her magic. She makes the ceremony very special and very much about the couple. She helped us stitch together three different cultures beautifully in a ceremony that was memorable not just to us but also to our guests.

The ceremony is such a poignant part of our marriage and Mona has a heartfelt way of celebrating not just us as a couple, but also the families that were with us that day. I feel incredibly lucky we found Mona to be our celebrant for our special day and I can’t imagine anyone would regret having her for their own ceremonies.

Fingers crossed I only get married once, but if I were to get married again I can’t imagine booking anyone but Mona as a celebrant.

Mona's service is quite simply, amazing.

Her ceremony style is incredibly unique and touching. All of our guests were highly complimentary of her and were impressed by how personal and charming the service was.

Mona's combined experience and professionalism results in a seamless booking and preparation process.

Mona, you are absolutely incredible, the way you guided us through our ceremony, how you voiced our letters to our family, we cannot express how happy we are with your service.
The level of thought and care that went into the questions you have prepared for us, the ceremony was beautiful and one we will cherish for a lifetime.
Thank you once again Mona, we are so grateful that you made our wedding day so special and will 100% recommend your services to anyone who is looking for a celebrant!

I just wanted to say thank you again on behalf of me and Tam.
You truly made our day feel very special and your way with words truly moved everyone that was present.
I had originally prepared a packet a tissue in my pocket for Tam in case she ended up crying but it had turned out I was the one that used it all . We could not have asked for a better celebrant and we will definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking for a celebrant for their wedding.
I hope you had a chance to drink milk tea and eat ice cream as it certainly was a lovely but hot day.

Many thanks and appreciation,
Dennis

Mona was a fantastic celebrant. She expertly guided our bridal party, and calmed our nerves. Her letter readings are truly unique and left our guests with a positive impression of our ceremony. Thank you so much Mona.

Mona was honestly beyond our expectations. She beautifully crafted our ceremony that was so personal that caught us all off guard and left everyone in tears. We had so many family members and guests tell us after the ceremony how wonderful she was. It's particularly difficult to find a bilingual celebrant and Mona elegantly weaved in Chinese into the ceremony being too "traditional". Couldn't recommend her enough!

Mona was an exceptional celebrant. Her service and letter readings on the day were personal and touching. Throughout the process, Mona was professional and happy to accommodate to our timeline and needs. She was efficient and managed to coordinate responses from all of our friends and family around the world, weaving this into the letter readings on the day.

Mona went above and beyond and also dropped by at our rehearsal. This helped our parents and bridal party prepare logistically for the day. That said, this did not prepare us for all the joy, laughter and happy tears Mona was able to create on the day.

It was a magical and unforgettable day – one that my wife and I will cherish forever.

We are so glad that we have Mona with us on our wedding day.
Happy tears were shed and she handled all the delicate moments with utmost care.

Mona always check in with us to make sure we are okay and took care of all the little things during the ceremony so we don't have to worry about them , and she did it so well!

We are forever grateful, we had a wonderful ceremony that we will treasure for the rest of our lives and we can't thank Mona enough.

If you're thinking of hiring a celebrant, we highly recommend having Mona on your big day!

She has been so professional and helpful throughout the whole process. Could not recommend enough.

Mona was THE BEST celebrant a couple could possibly ask for. Her attention to detail and her flow throughout the day made our special day that much more special. She has her very own unique approach to being a celebrant and we could not have been happier with the outcome. She also conducted our Cantonese tea ceremony which was done flawlessly and added a special touch to our day. Anyone looking for a celebrant will not be disappointed in the slightest

Mona completely exceeded our expectations. I was worried about ceremony procedures but on the day, she naturally guided us and our guests through every step. Her readings were phenomenal, the way she voiced the individual letters to our family were so touching and messages from our friends so funny. Our family and guests laughed and cried. Very glad to have had Mona as our celebrant!

Thank you Mona for her amazing readings and service! She magically turned all our memories into this beautiful speech where everybody feels connected to our journey. She took consideration into our cultural background and family circumstances, and it’s totally stress free throughout the whole process. The ceremony is full of tears and laughters, we would highly recommend her to everyone!!

It was so lovely to have Mona officiate our wedding ceremony recently. Mona carefully curated words from our friends and loved ones, and created personalised readings that were then shared in the form of letters with our parents. The attention to detail, the vibe that she created and her bright personality was such a fabulous start to our big day!

Mona was our marriage celebrant and she did such an incredible job. She has amazing communication up to the event, and incorporated our friends, family and my wife and I into her ceremony, making it unique, emotional and incredibly special.
There wasn't a dry eye in the room, as she truly helped contribute to our special day. Could not reccommend her enough!

Mona was an absolute legend on the day of our wedding - from calming the groom down to organising our bridal party.

Mona did such an amazing job with interviewing our closest friends and family for the readings and was also prompt with communication back and fourth. She had many great suggestions and was able to make the ceremony so seamless.

Every single guest we had was in awe of how well she conducted our ceremony. As most people know, wedding ceremonies can be pretty boring but with Mona's ceremony, it felt so personalised, so romantic and there was not a single dry eye in the audience. We had many guests tell us that it was genuinely the best wedding ceremony they have attended.

We could not thank Mona enough for her help on our big day and would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking to get married.

There are not enough words out there to describe how amazing Mona is. We are so grateful and thankful to have her by our side; guiding us, providing suggestions, being our sound board and our emotional support.

Mona is a dream to work with and our guests and especially my family absolutely adores her. Thank you so much Mona for being there for us and being part of our special day.

We could not have been more pleasantly surprised by what Mona delivered for our wedding. She was able to provide us with invaluable guidance in the lead up to the day, and especially on the day itself. We would highly recommend Mona for your wedding.

Mona is the best there is. I've been to many weddings in the past and no one compares. We are so happy with how our ceremony turned out, and it was all thanks to Mona. Mona is organised right from the beginning and makes the entire process so seamless. She is thorough and enthusiastic about what she does, and it really shows in her delivery. I would highly recommend Mona and her services. Thank you so much, Mona!

It has been over a month since our Wedding and i can finally sit down properly to write my experience with Mona - Mona, you are absolutely incredible, the way you guided us through our ceremony, how you voiced our letters to our family, we cannot express how happy we are with your service.
The level of thought and care that went into the questions you have prepared for us, the ceremony was beautiful and one we will cherish for a lifetime.

My partner and I had an excellent experience with Mona as our celebrant. From the beginning of the planning process she was warm, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour.

The way she writes the letter readings made it stress free for us. On the day of the wedding, she was able to think quick on her feet and made everyone feel comfortable.

Thank you Mona for being part of our special day!

Mona made our ceremony so memorable and wonderful with her personalised readings about us, our friends and family. We and the bridal party felt so at ease with her calm and clear suggestions before and during the ceremony. All our guests were very impressed by how touching and beautiful our ceremony was. We cannot imagine our special day without her!

Thank you for hosting our ceremony, Mona,

We loved our ceremony. It was warm, personal, touching and fun. The letter readings touched everybody's heart, we all smiled, cried and laughed.

Amanda and I had the happiest day of our lives and were glad we chose Mona as our celebrant.

One word - AMAZING!!!
11/10 and 6 out of 5 stars!

Mona is amazing in many ways! We were utterly impressed by her professionalism, her methods in curating the perfect speech by reaching out to our friends and family to understand us better and flawlessly delivering the best ceremony I ever seen.

Mona's speeches to our family and celebrating our love was so heart-warming and touching and everyone at the ceremony had tears in their eyes. We received so many compliments from our guests that they have never attended such a touching and amazing ceremony in their life and numerous complains about wrecking their makeup as they had a hard time controlling their tears - haha!

Towards the end of the ceremony, I had a mini accident and Mona sprung into action to help my bridesmaids to fix up my dress and continue to calm the situation. That's top notch customer service!

You will not regret having Mona as your celebrant!

P.S. if I ever gets marry again (hopefully not!!), I'll definitely choose Mona again as my celebrant.
