The Woman Behind the Vows

Kylie McIntosh

Weddings have never been in safer hands with Kylie McIntosh, who brings 27 years of experience in the wedding industry to every ceremony she creates.

With a background in planning, event management and styling, Kylie has grown into an award-winning celebrant known for her calm presence and genuine warmth.

While public speaking was never something she imagined for herself, stepping into the role became one of the most defining decisions of her career, and one where her confidence now shines.

Fast forward to today and Kylie has reached the extraordinary milestone of 1,000 weddings and counting. She was crowned Queensland’s Best Celebrant at the 2024 Australian Bridal Industry Awards, followed by runner-up honours in 2025.

Beach elopements are her favourite, a style she calls her “love language”, where she delivers laid-back, warm professionalism with zero awkward vibes.

Kylie’s greatest strength is her ability to create ceremonies that feel effortless, genuine and deeply personal. Guests often assume she has known the couple for years. Her love of people is at the heart of everything she does, creating authentic connections that shine through on the day.

What Kylie wants couples to know is that the ceremony truly sets the tone.

“It doesn’t need to be long or formal to be meaningful, it just needs to feel like you,” she says.

“When that’s right, everything else flows, and vibes will be high!”

When she’s not marrying people, Kylie can be found spending time with family, plotting her next adventure, enjoying a cheeky prosecco, cheering on the Cowboys, or surprising herself with a newfound love of Formula One.
