women on the Malaga Minister team who are absolute pros at turning love stories into unforgettable wedding moments.
1. Natasha Johnson – The OG Marbella Celebrant with the Big White Smile
If you've Googled anything about weddings in Marbella or searched for wedding celebrants in Marbella, chances are you've come across Natasha. And rightly so. As the founder of Malaga Minister, Natasha has been weaving magic into wedding ceremonies since 2007. With over 18 years of experience (and counting!), she’s the longest-serving wedding celebrant in the Costa del Sol region – and she’s still loving every moment.
Originally from Marlow, Buckinghamshire, Natasha made the switch from BBC journalist and newsreader to professional wedding celebrant after following her heart (and her talent for storytelling). Today, she’s one of the most sought-after celebrants in the area, making her one of the most trusted names for weddings in Marbella.
What makes Natasha special?
Let’s count the ways:
- Her voice – smooth, confident, and reassuring.
- Her writing – personal, heartfelt, and often hilarious.
- Her vibe – relaxed, joyful, and full of love.
Natasha is the ceremony queen you want when you're looking for someone who just gets it. She’s also the co-founder of the Celebrants Collective, where she trains and mentors new celebrants across Europe. Basically, she’s a ceremony powerhouse.
And let’s not forget the ‘chill’ factor. One of the most common words used by her couples? Relaxed. Because that's how Natasha helps you feel, before, during and after your ceremony.

2. Lucy Brown – The Velvet-Voiced Storyteller With a Stage Presence to Match
Next up, meet Lucy Brown – originally from a sleepy Oxfordshire village, now a Marbella local of 22 plus years. Her move to Spain was supposed to be temporary – just a quick 3-month language course in Madrid. But then she met a mysterious man on the metro (rom-com vibes, anyone?) and the rest, as they say, is history.
That metro man became her husband, and 18 years, 3 gorgeous children later, Lucy is one of the most engaging and talented wedding celebrants in Marbella.
What makes Lucy an unforgettable celebrant?
- Her voice – professionally trained and buttery smooth (seriously, she’s also a full-time voice-over artist – you can check out her work here).
- Her stage experience – 20 years of teaching, performing, and dancing means she commands the ceremony space like no other.
- Her energy – warm, calm, welcoming, and full of personality.
When Lucy leads a ceremony, it's heartfelt, engaging, and full of beautiful storytelling. Plus, if you're lucky enough to hear her in action, you’ll be blown away by her fabulous voice. (Don’t say we didn’t warn you.)
Outside of ceremonies, Lucy’s a crumble-with-double-cream addict and a self-confessed bookworm. Basically, she’s your ideal celebrant and your new best friend rolled into one.

3.Tara Lorimer – Ceremony Magic Maker with a Wedding Planner’s Heart
Originally from Glasgow, Scotland (yes, you can understand her!), Tara has called Marbella home for 20 years. Her love of travel and culture has taken her from Russia to New York and London before finally settling in the sunny south of Spain—alongside her gorgeous daughter. With years of experience planning luxury weddings at the iconic Puente Romano Hotel, Tara's calm, organised presence and her passion for people make her a perfect choice for couples looking for a warm and professional celebrant in Marbella.
When she’s not creating magic with the Malaga Minister team, she’s running her own weddings and events business, always focused on making each couple’s big day the best day of their lives. Tara understands every detail of a wedding day and knows how to craft a ceremony that flows beautifully and feels effortless — exactly what you want when planning a wedding in Marbella.
