About Diana
I'm Diana Fisk - a marriage celebrant and storyteller based on Wadawurrung Country (the Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong).
For over 20 years, I have worked as a documentary filmmaker and producer. I have spent my career listening to people's stories, asking the right questions, and finding the narrative thread that made everything make sense.
When I became a marriage celebrant in 2023, I realised it was the same work - just in a different form. As well as making films, I was creating ceremonies. As well as editing scripts, I was shaping words. But the core skill was identical: deep listening, thoughtful storytelling, and holding space for people's most important moments.
I bring all of that experience to every ceremony I create - whether it's a wedding, a funeral, or a community gathering. I'm here to listen, to ask good questions, and to craft something that feels true.
My Approach
I believe ceremony should be intentional, not templated.
I don't hand you a script and plug in your names. I spend time understanding who you are, what matters to you, and what you want this moment to feel like.
I believe in making space for all of it - joy, grief, humor, gravity.
Life isn't one-dimensional, and neither are ceremonies. I hold space for whatever needs to be present.
I believe in thoughtful, inclusive, accessible ceremonies.
I've worked with diverse communities for decades - LGBTQ+ couples, people with disabilities, blended families, multicultural celebrations. Everyone deserves a ceremony that honors who they are.
Beyond Celebrancy
I'm also the founder of Ceremonial - a project and practice dedicated to creating intentional, community-connected ceremonies.
Through Ceremonial, I am exploring the idea of reclaiming meaning in a world designed for consumption - looking at history, lineage, and ritual practices to bring us closer together and to support our lives being more intentional and meaningful.

Where I Work
I'm based in Ocean Grove on the Bellarine Peninsula, but I work with couples and families across Geelong, Melbourne, and regional Victoria.
Travel within two hours is included in my fee. For destination ceremonies, let's talk.
Acknowledgment
I acknowledge the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional Owners of these lands where I work and live. Wadawurrung people have lived on, cared for, and celebrated on this Country for over 60,000 years - marking significant moments in life through ceremony, song, and story. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, and recognise that the work I do - creating ceremonies that honour people's stories and connections - happens on land where ceremony has always been sacred. I am grateful to do this work on Wadawurrung Country. Sovereignty was never ceded.
A portion of each ceremony fee is contributed to the Traditional Owners of the Country where the ceremony occurs.
