Christel Starke Certified Civil Celebrant

I'm Christel, a celebrant located in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria, Australia.​Growing up in the Dandenong Rangers, I've always loved how peaceful it is living among nature. The wildlife, flora and fauna have given me a sense of calm that I've carried throughout my lifetime. ​For many years I've worked alongside family to create an inviting and secluded Airbnb/Guesthouse at Glen Elborne Estate.

I believe a wedding day should feel easy, joyful, and true to who you are. Whether you're planning a simple elopement or a small, heartfelt celebration, I’m here to guide you through the process with warmth and clarity. I’ll help you shape a ceremony that feels natural and grounded — something you can look back on and feel proud of.

​

With a background in event and venue management, working with children, theatre direction, and holistic counselling, I bring a calm presence and plenty of experience to help you feel supported and present on the day.

Whether you envision a simple elopement or an intimate wedding celebration, I'm here to guide you in crafting a ceremony that's centered on your love and commitment.
