My name is Deborah Lilley and I am a qualified Civil Marriage Celebrant. I qualified in 2014 after deciding I needed a creative outlet for my flair for organisation and attention to detail. I am originally from Essex in the East of England, but moved to South Australia with my family in 2006.

I am professionally trained and legally authorised by Australian Commonwealth Law to solemnise marriages anywhere in Australia and its Territories. I am also able to conduct any type of ‘non-legal’ ceremony you wish for. I am fiercely inclusive, and strongly believe that marriage is for all.

I abide strictly to the Code of Practice for Celebrants and am a member of many professional bodies including AMC – Australian Marriage Celebrants (https://marriagecelebrants.org.au/) and AFCC – The Australian Federation Of Civil Celebrants (www.afcc.com.au).

I am a confident public speaker and have a clear voice with or without a microphone.

I am a vibrant, fun-loving, 40-something Gemini, who is growing old disgracefully with crazy coloured hair and an amazing dress and shoe collection! As you can tell I am a young at heart person but I have a soft spot in my heart for anything vintage, from the 20’s flapper days to 50’s rock-and-roll.

I’ll happily wear anything from my extensive retro dress collection for any occasion, but especially when it fits into the look of a Wedding! Do you want a Celebrant who is comfortable to dress up for your theme wedding? Then I’m your girl!
