Sydney Celebrant Ray Standen - Appointed 17th January 2004
|

My name is Ray Standen and I am a full time professional celebrant. My background follows 2 very different paths . Firstly whilst working for British Telecommunications, I was trained as a communications engineer for telephone exchanges, Telex exchanges and Data transmission duties.
Later following my hobbies as a guitarist in a band and as a Disk Jockey {DJ} for the local Hotels in Brighton England, I progressed to the level of an “audio engineer” and became the sales Manager {UK} for a world leading microphone and speaker company, with direct responsibilities to Radio, Television, Recording studios and live concerts.
Following a speech that I made, I was approached by an existing celebrant in 2002, and asked whether I had ever thought of using my speaking skills as a Marriage Celebrant. The rest as they say is history.

My aim is to provide my clients with a professional, dignified and meaningful ceremony, tailored to their personal requirements and in a relaxed atmosphere. I take great pride in creating a unique service and endeavour to exceed the expectations of all my clients. Location is never a problem, and feel very comfortable delivering any service where my clients want them. Whether this is the beautiful Australian beaches, in open country, hotels, function centres or private residences. When required I use a professional sound system, to ensure all my clients can hear the service, noise free and with clarity, for both speech and the music of your choice.

Inter-faith services are dealt with in a manner that meets the expectations of all parties concerned
I have also been a funeral celebrant for many years and can offer dignified and meaningful ceremonies, tailored to the family wishes at this very sensitive time.
Other ceremonies I perform are:- Baby Namings services, Renewal of Vows services, and Master of Ceremonies Duties for both celebrancy and all public announcing duties, including Entertainment and Sports functions.
I do have one very treasured wedding memory that I performed, and this related to both the Bride and the Groom, plus several guests being wheel chair bound. Very rewarding indeed.
In 5 years time I would like to remain healthy and continue to serve the general public in what ever capacity I can through my many Celebrancy and speaking Skills, that I have learnt over the years.
The areas that I normally cover are the Southern Highlands, Wollongong, Picton, Campbelltown, Macarthur, Camden & Sydney NSW, and I am very willing to perform my celebrancy duties any where in Australia.
