Hi, I am Capt. Timmy Pavri and am a genuine ship's captain who is also a marriage celebrant.  I am a member of the Association of Civil Marriage Celebrants of S.A. Inc A couple’s wedding day is one of the most important day of their lives. Your choice of a professional celebrant is an important decision. The ceremony chosen should be one that reflects your ideals and philosophies - of how you would like your marriage to start and continue.

I want your day to be all you could wish for and more. I, Capt. Timmy Pavri am a Master Mariner and a working ship’s pilot in South Australia and the only qualified ship’s captain who is also a marriage celebrant! Having had some training as a priest in my own tradition and being a Usui and Seichim Reiki Master who regularly teaches meditation, I am, if required, able to include an element of spirituality in the ceremony without it being religious.

I am able to assist couples in making their wedding day a memorable occasion for them, their families and friends. As long as the ceremony includes the legal requirements, the couple is at considerable freedom to include or exclude sections in their ceremony. I have a range of sample ceremonies in text format for your perusal and selection. I do specialise in conducting marriages on board ships and other water craft, but all ceremonies are catered for. Your day – your way!
