HOW DO I CREATE YOUR CEREMONY SCRIPT?

Every single ceremony script is tailored for you from you. I ask that you complete the couples' questionnaires separately so that I can weave them together and find the good stuff. Those little bits that make you smile, laugh, and beam with pride. I'll flow your ceremony so that we share in the sweet emotions, the nice moments, and the hair-raising funny parts also.

My style is upbeat, positive, and engaging. I'm here to look after you and guide you through your ceremony and at all times, feeling like a great mate is sharing your story. Nothing mushy or cringy but always creative and custom.

I prepare notes throughout our meetings and emails to ensure I don't miss any of these key unique bits, and I'll reach out if I need a little refining or a key detail. The key for me is that I love for you to hear your story for the first time on your wedding day. I find that couples are much more in the moment, the reactions are more genuine, and it doesn't feel rehearsed as if it was a production. I'm always going to look after you and ensure that anything that doesn't belong in your ceremony stays out of your ceremony.

Here's 5 of the questions I send to all couples.

Tell me about when and where you first met?
Tell me about your initial impressions of your partner?
Where is your happy place as a couple, and why?
Describe 5 reasons why you love your partner?
Can you think of 5 words you would love to share with your partner the morning of your wedding?

Here's a tip, if you're newly engaged write down some of your key memories, a few texts, tinder, bumble, Grindr, pub conversations or DM's you received from your early days of dating and any memorable or maybe forgettable moments, it'll lighten your load when your celebrant starts looking for some answers.

A sunny family filled afternoon at Sunnybrae Estate was the perfect way to start November with Mikhayla and Declan. Full of tears, cheers for their daughter, and a little Holden vs. Ford debate.

Ultimately, what started as some nerves ended in a big beaming smile and a next day text proclaiming โ€œWe love you! Thank you again x1000000. It was absolutely perfect!!โ€

I've just dropped Mikhayla and Declan's blog over on my website. You can read all about their ceremony and catch up with other real weddings where I'll provide a more detailed visual timeline, my recollections, and even some script excerpts.

I love looking back on my couples' weddings and I hope you enjoy them too.

WHO CAN BE YOUR WITNESSES?

Did you know that anyone over the age of 18 can be your witnesses at your wedding.

I had 4 wonderful couples this year ask both Mum's to be their witnesses just like Jess and Jack, who shared this special moment with Janet and Hilary.

Merry Christmas from our family and rein-dog Pepper.

To all my couples celebrating their first Christmas as a married couple, I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy making many more beautiful memories.

Good luck to all those who are getting engaged, driving around SA, eating too many prawns, or trying not to fall asleep watching one of the shrek movies this afternoon, Merry Christmas.

My love to you all โค๏ธ

CAITLIN + MARTY | MCLAREN VALE

Feeling all the love for Caitlin and Marty as they celebrated their stunning wedding over looking the McLaren Vale vines.

These two great humans radiated love towards each other all throughout their ceremony. It was truly a celebration of them, their love of the gym and their two dogs Drake and Otis, the sweetest vows then what followed was all champagne and confetti.

Well, that's a wrap on 2024. 50 couples!!!

It was absolutely a blast to look back on the year and appreciate some of the creative ways that couples made their days authentic to them.

I adore each and every couple that trust me to be part of their day, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with my 2025 couples.

Some stats that didn't make the slides:
๐ŸŽ‰ 1 couple handed out zooper doopers after their 40-degree ceremony
๐ŸŽ‰ 2 couples chose the mystery shots game to decide who read their vows first
๐ŸŽ‰ 3 couples chose both Mum's as their witnesses
๐ŸŽ‰ 1 couple announced they were having a baby at their ceremony
๐ŸŽ‰ 1 couple chose their 92 year old grandma to be a flower nanna and witness
๐ŸŽ‰ The ceremony pause was undefeated for tears
๐ŸŽ‰ 1 celebrant struggled with the word authentically during a ceremony
๐ŸŽ‰ 3x free micro weddings given away
๐ŸŽ‰ 1 kick ass industry party
๐ŸŽ‰ 100% fun and custom ring promises
๐ŸŽ‰ one happy celebrant

My love to my couples, their families, and guests who embraced me this year. Thank you to all the wonderful vendors I worked alongside and the wonderful venues who welcomed me. Thank you.

EMOTION AT YOUR CEREMONY

My favourite thing this year was the men in my couples' lives openly sharing and expressing their emotion during the ceremony.

The care from my newlyweds towards their partner entering the ceremony space, a parent who is honoured with a special role on the day, a sibling who remembers all those years growing up as kids together, a wedding party member who has been by their mate through thick in thin or even just one of your loved ones in the crowd.

I feel so privileged to be in this role and welcomed into such a loving environment. Sure, the fun parts for me are enjoyable and the things that I show often on the gram, but for me, the things that light me up are watching a tear run down my grooms face as he sights his love for the first time or he shares his thoughts and feelings during the vows. These are the special moments that make weddings so beautiful.

On your wedding day, for me, my job is so much more than just reading a few stories. It's looking after all your VIPs and understanding that emotion will show up for people in different ways. It's important to acknowledge that nerves and anticipation will manifest in different ways. Each is to be respected, acknowledged, and celebrated.

I can't wait to embrace your emotion in 2025. Are you ready?

Thanks to these legends in order of photos.

It's hard to know exactly where to begin with the pure magic and chaos that occurred yesterday. We legally married 3 couples with 20 guests each at one venue on the same day with 40+ photographers.

Thank you to Emma + Kaz, Rikki + Brayden, and Taliesha + Jack. You were just the biggest legends yesterday, and we can't thank you enough!

There is so much more to come from this day. We couldn't have done it without the below legends!

CLOE + ANDY | The one with the shots

Micro weddings can be anything you want them to be!

Cloe and Andy hired this killer Air BNB in Upper Sturt for the week and drove across from NSW in Rexi and the Stinger GT, who proudly looked over the ceremony space.

Cloe and Andy balanced the party atmosphere perfectly with their emotional sides and deep care and affection for each other.

We included a perfect aisle pause (and accompanying tears) with a custom letter from their cars along with shots to decide who read their vows first with super sweet personal vows.

The weather was hot, the pizza was hotter and the crowd was red hot fun. I stuck around to MC, but in the most relaxed way, it was like chatting with friends.

Cloe and Andy's wedding was everything I love about micro weddings and the connection amongst people.

Wedding season pause.

Melissa and I have just had the most fabulous busy weekend in the midst of a crazy wedding season.

It was nice to slow down, drink some red, and eat some tasty pizza at the iconic on Saturday.

Then, on Sunday, it was off to for lunch before heading over the road to watch the

KATT + ANDREW | The one with the ducks

I can't begin to tell you how much I adore these two. Katt and Andrew wanted their wedding to truly be a reflection of them as a couple and a celebration of those closest to them.

During our planning meetings, we spoke about their creative ideas and their vision but also their nerves.

It was truly an honour to stand back, admire, and enjoy the positivity, joy, and connection. We began with glowsticks and then moved on to 3 epic stories from their relationship thus far, beautiful vows, stunning golden hour photos, an energetic entrance, personalised stories from guests, an exciting photo challenge, breathtaking first dance, ghostbuster exit and just the funkiest night shoot imaginable.

Thanks for sharing your day with me as your celebrant and MC.

One of my most popular options that my couples are opting for is a personalised letter from their pet during your ceremony.

Your dog, cat, lizard, or penguin can't always be at your ceremony but are a major part of your life and family.

How it works. I'll open up the pet questionnaire to find out their favourite snacks, naughty behaviours, and memories from when they entered the family plus more to put together a custom written letter to share that will delight you and amuse your guests.

Your ceremony should be fun, personalised, and the best part of your day!

Pictured here are Murphy and his parents, Jade and Daniel (who celebrate their first anniversary this month)

Do you want a wedding that is all about you and the best fun one can have?

It was all disco balls, colours, and the best times for Cassandra and Matthew's reception at with

Check out this rad mix of film and epic snaps from

One of my favourite moments happened during the speeches. Actually, I'll take it back to canapes, and we were approached by Cassandras uncle, who had mentioned he had an audio voice mail message from her Dad Kon the day Cassandra was born. We had a listen, and the story was told that Louie had kept the message for 29 years, and the audio was still a fantastic quality.

Fast forward to speeches, after Kon's speeches, I introduced the audio clip and gave the background, and then it played BEEP "Louie it's Kon, it's a girl, and her name is Cassandra. OK, I'll chat to you soon."

Cue tears everywhere in the room.

I loved the thoughtfulness, emotion, and candid moment. For me, this is what weddings are about. Family and connection โค๏ธ

Our couples' wedding day had a little bit of everything. Beginning with a fake story of how they met, a first kiss in the rain then a first married kiss in light rain, a rainbow, epic sunset, a whole lot of laughs, love and a beautiful pair of vows.

Check out this amazing review these legends left:

"I HONESTLY CAN SAY MATTHEW IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND.

From the moment we met Matthew, we knew he was the person who would have the honour of announcing us married.

He was such a calm and supporting part of our planning journey, and the best compliment we received was how long we knew Matthew.

Everyone thought he was just one of our mates. We are so honoured to have had him as part of our day."

So you met your lover through a dating site? Wooo!

Either it was a swipe, a rose, a connection, a cheeky message, or however that initial conversation started, embrace that!

Here's a few questions to help jog your memory. My tip is to write some notes separately as you'll have different recollections, which creates a much juicer story.

๐Ÿ‘‰ What grabbed your attention about your partners profile

๐Ÿ‘‰ What was your partners profile image, and the profile text included

๐Ÿ‘‰ Can you remember the initial interactions or conversations

๐Ÿ‘‰ Who initiated the conversation or flirting?

๐Ÿ‘‰ What were your initial thoughts when you first met?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Were there any cheesy or funny moments you can remember?

Just have some fun with this, and your celebrant will love all the goss to start your ceremony with a light story that will bring back all the memories!

AYLA + CLINTON | REVIEW

Absolutely nailed what we were looking for! Personalised, funny, and thoughtful. Never had to worry as Matthew was on top of everything. The unlimited support was amazing, no text questions were ever too silly for him! Really helped ease our nerves and have an amazing ceremony.

Thank you, Ayla and Clinton, for having me as a celebrant and MC.

Under the canopy of the stunning vines at , Sheridan and Andrew spent the afternoon with their favourite people and 2 pooches Bart and Bernie.

Sheridan and Andrew met at a BBQ. Andrew was immediately taken at how bubbly and chatty Sheridan was but also startled by the bone crushing cuddles she shared.

Andrew and Sheridan's ceremony was extremely interactive and engaging with a few surprises thrown in, the best being Bart and Bernie saving the day by bringing in the rings after the best man "forgot" them.

This is how a ceremony should be: authentic, loving, warm, and funny.

Congratulations, Sheridan and Andrew.
