About Lauretta
Voted 2024 #1 Winner Fraser Coast AND Wide Bay celebrant in the Wedding Industry Awards, and proud Kingfisher Partner,

​​
With over 30 years of experience living in Hervey Bay and a background as a retired university lecturer, I bring a deep commitment to each and every wedding I officiate. I understand the profound significance of marriage, and I take my role as a celebrant with the utmost seriousness and care.
My approach is highly personalized, crafting ceremonies that reflect the unique love stories of each couple I work with. We collaborate closely to ensure every detail is meaningful, special, and memorable. We may have fun along the way, but rest assured, your ceremony will be nothing short of perfect. Together, we get it Wright!
As a proud member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants Inc, I uphold the highest standards of professionalism, following a strict Code of Ethics, and carry both professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Your ceremony is not just important to me—it’s a responsibility I hold with great honour.
I welcome the inclusion of children in marriage ceremonies and always encourage ways to make your celebration reflect the values of family and unity. In my ceremonies, love is at the heart of everything, and I firmly believe in honouring the dignity of all individuals. Love is love, and every couple deserves a celebration as unique as their story.
"Lauretta was absolutely wonderful from the planning to the big day. She was always available to chat about everything making sure that there was never any uncertainty. I couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to officiate our special day. Her sense of humour, and willingness to include our 8 children in our ceremony set her above anyone else, even going to extra effort to include a second certificate that all our kids signed. She took all the craziness that is our family in stride and I would definitely recommend Lauretta Wright to anyone in need of a celebrant." Peta Wilson

"What can I say? we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant! Lauretta is so easy to get along with and made the whole process so easy and much less intimidating. She was open to putting everything we wanted into practice and kept our ceremony so us! We could do this 100 times over and we'd pick Lauretta every time" - Courtney O'Brien​

PSS - Also voted #1 marriage Celebrant on the Fraser Coast, Queensland, Australia according to my chestnut horse, Dusty Noble Cheyanne (aka "Anna"). Of course, my horse Anna is biased! Anna loves her horse crazy girl (me) and I her! As a Celebrant, I love when couples want to include children, their dogs or horses in their marriage ceremony! I just love it!
