The prospect of being your marriage celebrant in Cowes on Phillip Island is exciting. A bride and groom coming to Phillip Island for the first time to be married for the first time is twice the excitement but half the price when compared to the Gold Coast or even Mornington Peninsula. Cowes is expanding meeting the demands of becoming the crown Jewel of Victoria if not of the entire country.  I as a marriage celebrant would advise lovers from Melbourne that there are so many great apartments and houses to rent for reasonable rates and by the night and week that Phillip Island is fast becoming the wedding place to be.
Cowes on Phillip island is going to soon boast of an actual mall with stores with national and international brand names. When I first became a civil celebrant, Cowes was but a toddler when compared to what Cowes has become today. The Fairy Penguins, motorcycle racing, and dozens of beaches are old attractions really. The spring like weather is another since every breeze is a sea breeze in Cowes and throughout Phillip Island. What was missing in the past included places to buy adequate fruits and vegetables, and meat especially for the now 50,000 visitors in Cowes most of whom drive down in cars and many have boats. So the think that kept them away in the past is that Cowes was too rural. But with the present holiday housing boom, apartment boom, and the influx of dozens of new businesses, Cowes is no longer Rural in what it's possible to buy. All the pleasures and comforts of a home and neighborhood in Melbourne are now available in Cowes and the many suburbs of Cowes including Sunderland Bay, Ventnor, Cape Woollamai, San Remo, and New Haven. Cape Woolamai is one of the most prestigious places to live on Phillip Island with the most valuable properties and houses there. But it's possible to rent any number of homes in Cape Woolamai for under $300 a night and some as low as $130 per night. Their owners are cashing in on the housing shortage on Phillip Island and the tourist is the winner. They can rent and entire house, many with two bathrooms for as little as $120/night.
Finally, the thing that kept people away from Phillip Island was the highway system. Today the road to Phillip Island is a four lane road to riches. Right now trying to shop in Coles and the local IGA is elbow to elbow fighting for the last head of lettuce. But next year a new Coles and a Woolworth will open up in Cowes and with them a more urban Melbournian lifestyle. But for those wishing to be married, today is the time because the beaches are still open and not very crowded, rents are cheap, and the weather is never hot like it is in Melbourne. As I said, Cowes and Phillip Island are the wedding place to be.

Welcome to Your
Phillip Island Civil Celebrant
I am a Marriage Civil Celebrant  living on Phillip Island in Victoria Australia. To me Phillip Island is the most beautiful and enchanted island in the world, and a wonderful place to be married. No matter how often I drive home to Sunderland Bay on the Island, the experience is the same...breathtaking!

Bass Coast Highway from Melbourne to Phillip Island offers sceneries straight out of an Irish travel guide. Green rolling hills and wide vistas are but a taste of  things to come. There is one hill on the Bass Coast Highway from which the bridge connecting Phillip Island to the mainland is brilliantly displayed though it's a tiny part of a much broader panorama, the centre of which is Phillip Island.

Ibis hover motionlessly in the flying into the wind inside Nature's sweet embrace while driving toward Phillip Island. Knowing that I'll be crossing that thin ribbon of a bridge between San Remo and New Haven in just minutes fosters in me wonder and disbelief. The excitement and suspense of coming home never grows old. It may sound corny but it's not. Phillip Island is captivatingly subtle as it quietly seduces the senses, subdues the body, and brings to the soul a sublime tranquility. This is one of the reasons why being a certified marriage celebrant on the island is a dream come true.

If you understood the magic imbibed in Victoria's most precious gem, which is Phillip Island, you would come a little closer to understanding why it is that celebrating your marriage with you is my fondest desire. Love happens here even quite against one's will. Love is here a wellspring especially for the unsuspecting and even the unwilling. But for the willing like yourself, Phillip Island is an eternal fountain of love's unblemished bounty. Here is the best of places for launching your life together. Choose Phillip Island as your wedding venue whether  in Cowes, Ventnor, New Haven or where I live, in Sunderland Bay. Many Phillip Island Beaches and Parks are free with only one requirement of you; you love each other. Phillip Island takes it from there.

So I  would love to be your marriage celebrant during  the most public and yet most private moment of your life. Your wedding day. Phillip Island is the wedding place to be and my fondest desire as your marriage celebrant is celebrating your wedding with you. You deserve the ceremony of your dreams and I make it happen.
