I am a Marriage Celebrant, authorised to perform civil marriage ceremonies and working in Cairns, North Queensland, and the surrounding areas. As a supporter of marriage equality I am committed to creating a personalised wedding ceremony to ensure your wedding is exactly as you want it. What we do during your ceremony is your wedding – what you do together from then on is your marriage. As a Cairns Marriage Celebrant and a supporter of marriage equality, I can offer you a huge range of choice in the content and performance of your ceremony. What we do on the day is your wedding - what you do for the rest of your lives is your marriage. My name is Janine Meakin and it would be an honour to help you make your dreams come true.

I have lived in Cairns since 1980. The first marriage I performed was as a clerk of the court at the Cairns Magistrates Court in 2001. I love being able to provide a modern and personal service to my clients As a local resident I am familiar with so many beautiful ceremony locations. The options in The Cairns Region are almost endless and include beautiful beaches, tropical islands, pristine rivers, magical tropical gardens and many 5 star resorts. Palm Cove, Kewarra Beach, Port Douglas, Atherton, Kuranda, Mareeba and the Atherton Tablelands are just a few of the places that I travel to. Getting to remote locations down dirt roads or sand cays on The Great Barrier Reef via quick helicopter ride is all in a days work when you live in this amazing part of the world. My goal is to make it “your day your way” I will help you put all of your dreams and ideas together to create a ceremony that represents you and makes your guests feel welcome and included. I love to include special people in the ceremony whether they are your children, pets, parents, siblings or friends, these are the people that have shared in your life and will be there for you in the future.

​A good wedding ceremony will be meaningful, personal and a reflection of the love you share. ​ From relaxed elopements or small and intimate wedding ceremonies with close friends and family, to wonderful wedding extravaganzas in tropical wedding wonderlands of Port Douglas and Palm Cove. The wedding ceremony is an integral part of your big day, and if it’s done well, it can be the very best part! This is where I step in as a marriage celebrant who is experienced, professional but relaxed and personal. I will help you to celebrate your own memorable, vibrant and personal wedding ceremony simply and easily, with love and laughter, so whether you have an intimate gathering in mind or a larger than life affair, your wedding day will be unforgettable. I look forward to making your wedding ceremony one of the favourite parts of your love story. At the end of it all, you want to look back on this time and only feel happiness!
