Hi, I’m Riley Farlow

The celebrant and MC behind Farlow Your Heart

The most defining moments in my life are filled with love and joy-marrying my wonderful wife and welcoming our beautiful daughter into the world. These moments still make me smile today, and they’ve inspired my passion for creating unforgettable experiences for others. I want you to look back on your special day with the same warmth and happiness I feel when I think of mine.

My style: polished, professional, and easy to be around

I bring care, calmness, and passion with every ceremony I plan.

My role is to guide the moment with confidence, keep everything flowing smoothly, and make sure you feel supported from our first chat right through to the big day.

Eight years as a personal trainer taught me this

Before becoming a celebrant, I spent 8 years working as a personal trainer. I helped people through nerves, big goals, and moments that mattered - teaching me how to listen, connect, and build real trust.

That experience carries straight into my work as a celebrant: helping you feel confident, relaxed, and fully yourselves on the day.

Firefighter calm, when it matters most

I also currently work as a firefighter, where staying calm under pressure is part of the job.

On a wedding day, that means steady leadership, clear communication, and someone who can handle unexpected moments without stress - so you don’t have to.

More than a celebrant

With experience in event planning, MC work, and public speaking, I don’t just turn up and read a script.

  • Guiding the flow of the ceremony
  • Reading the room and setting the right tone
  • Keeping guests engaged and comfortable
  • Working seamlessly with venues and vendors

What you can expect from me

  • A ceremony written from scratch
  • Clear guidance and a relaxed planning process
  • Professional delivery without the stiffness
  • Calm, confident energy on the day

Let’s create something meaningful

If you’re after a celebrant and MC who brings confidence, warmth, and calm leadership - I’d love to hear your story.
