My name is John Dendy and I am the Celebrant behind J.D. Celebrancy - a business based in the Swan Valley of Perth, Western Australia. I am a full-time celebrant who belongs to several professional organisations and has full indemnity insurance.
Together with my wife, Desireé, we are proud to be able to offer a service that designs services tailor-made for our clients – those who want ceremonies that reflect their wishes.
We pride ourselves on attention to detail and our availability to our clients. We will only book one service per day to ensure that your ceremony is not hurried and is paid the attention it deserves. If by some remote possibility I am asked to do a second service on the same day I will ensure that adequate space is left between the allocated times – for example one in the morning and one in the evening.
As a professional Marriage Celebrant I am happy to abide by the Marriage Celebrants Code of Conduct set out by the Attorney Generals Department. You can view the code from the Marriage Celebrants Section: Code of Practice. When you look through the Code you will notice the major points:
- Application of the Code of Practice.
- High Standard of Service.
- Recognition of the Significance of Marriage.
- Compliance with the Marriage Act and other laws.
- General Requirement for Marriage Ceremonies. (This includes respecting the privacy of the parties.)
- Knowledge and understanding of Family Relationship Services.

John and Desiree, We would like to thank you so much for helping us create our magical wedding ceremony. You had so many suggestions, and were only a phone call away when I had any questions or queries. Brett & Nikki
Hi John
Thank you so much for such a beautiful service! We couldn't have done it without you; you made us feel so comfortable. Sorry we missed you after the service; we got caught up in the moment.
The ceremony was all that we could have hoped for, all of our family gave us wonderful feedback about the ceremony, and we'll never forget it.
Once again, thank you very much.
All the best,
Joe, Chloe and Suzana
