Amanda Schenk - Adelaide Marriage Celebrant

09/12/2024

A historic castle, with enchanting gardens, a perfect reflection of the timeless bond we honoured at the wedding of Cassandra and Ethan. Stepping into marriage, excited about the life they will continue to build together, they dream of starting a family, filling their home with laughter, love, and maybe even a few more cats, and look forward to traveling the world, creating memories in new places, and returning home to the simple joys of being together.

~ Scott and Annika ~

In May 2015, destiny orchestrated a clever setup at a quiz night. Scott and Annika were last minute additions to the team, not a romantic setup at the hands of friends, they were simply there to make up the numbers. But by the end of the night, they didn't just win the quiz—they found the first spark of their relationship.

In the early days of their relationship, Scott and Annika cheekily made great use of their quiz night prizes, going on movie dates, enjoying bottles of wine, and indulging in delicious food. Fast forward 8 years, with an adorable 5mth baby ready for a night time feed, and many adventures under the belt, Scott proposed, and Annika didn’t hesitate to say yes to a partnership that is the very definition of the perfect team.

It all came together beautifully at Plant 4 Bowden, complete with their big beautiful goofball of a Bernese Mountain dog Basil!

Jess and John

On the 8th anniversary of the day they got engaged, surrounded by the wild energy of the Zoo, a place filled with the same excitement, love, and sense of adventure that brought John and Jess together all those years ago, they embarked on the next chapter of their lives as husband and wife. Joined by their three incredibly adorable children, and in the company of their friends and family, we took a trip down memory lane, sharing many laughs and smiles. These two are clearly smitten and very much looking forward to what the future holds.

Congrats ###

~ Gabby and Brad ~

On the 8th anniversary of the day they became a couple, against the breathtaking backdrop of the Highland Valley, Gabby and Brad, who became a couple during schoolies shenanigans, tied the knot.

From skipping uni to hang out together in the early days, to a proposal in a spot laden with sentimental significance in the Botanic Gardens, and enduring irks and quirks like Brad’s obsession with fantasy sport, and Gabby’s need to sleep with a zoo of teddy bears, these two are just so perfect together.

Enormous effort went into preparing Brad’s fathers house to host the celebrations and boy did it all come together beautifully on the day, complete with the best ‘just married’ trailer and tractor carriage.

Ever wondered what calibre of celebrant you are getting, well check out my achievements in my ‘day job’ and know that I bring the same, if not more, to my personal business as a marriage celebrant!

Congratulations to me and the most sensational team I’ve ever had the privilege to lead and work alongside of. This week I was flown to Canberra to accept a ‘Secretary’s Award’, the highest level of achievement in the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, for exemplary work in developing an enhanced assurance framework, a new Government commitment in the Migration Strategy to improve skills recognition and assessment.

The Assessing Authority Assurance Team received a ‘Highly Commended’ award in the Delivering with Integrity category, recognising excellence in the development and implementation of high-quality, integrated and evidence-based solutions, in ways consistent with the APS values (Impartial, Committed to Service, Accountable, Respectful, Ethical and Stewardship). Our work was recognised for exceptional results characterised by:
• collaboration, co-design, and consultation,
• prioritising wellbeing of people during delivery,
• actions that uphold the APS values, and
• benefits and improved outcomes for citizens, employees and other stakeholders.

There was a record-breaking 734 nominees and 176 nominations, and I am beyond proud that my team was recognised formally by not just making the shortlist but getting an award.

Who doesn't love a getaway vehicle that tells the world you are newly weds. Even better when the wedding is on a farm and you get an awesome tractor with a gazebo shade for cover.

More Steph and Thom spam ‘cause I can’t get enough of this Dungeons and Dragons themed wedding at Mortlock Library.

In the magical setting of the Mortlock Chamber at the State Library, surrounded by the wisdom of the ages, the scent of well-loved books, and the promise of a love story that is still being written, Thom and Steph wed in a Dungeons and Dragons inspired ceremony. Here is a taste of what was said ….

Thom and Steph's journey began in the realm of imagination, where dragons soar and heroes rise. It was within the hallowed halls of a comic book store, amidst the clatter of dice and the rustle of character sheets, that fate wove their destinies together. Noticing a new guy walk into the store, Steph’s friend Amanda elbowed her and pointed him out, only to be swiftly told by Steph, “I’m not here to meet boys, I’m here to play Dungeons and Dragons”, but fate clearly had other plans.

Bonded by their love for adventure and storytelling, they embarked on quests both virtual and real, facing challenges and conquering obstacles side by side. Just as in the game of Dungeons & Dragons, where every roll of the dice brings new surprises, Thom and Steph's love story is an epic adventure filled with twists, turns, and countless moments of joy.

When classic cars are your life, why not take over a suburban park in Taperoo and get me, a local celebrant, to do the hitching!!! For Sally and Carlos we did just that and a glorious day it was, standing in front of this yellow beauty saying “I do”

The off season life of a marriage celebrant - soccer mum!!! My little one scored her first ever goal today (and the only goal for the team with 30secs left on the clock), and she also boldly did a ‘header’, rarely seen in female junior teams apparently. Proud mum moments for sure.

🌵ISABEL & ALEX 🌵

Fate brought them together in a crowded bar, where a conversation sparked the beginning of a beautiful journey. A journey that briefly paused, just as soon as it had started, due to a safari-induced hospitalisation from a tick bite. But love conquers all and after a delay to their much anticipated second date, due to a pea and ham soup-making debacle with his dad, Isabel and Alex enjoyed an epic five-hour adventure filled with laughter, shared stories, and bar-hopping escapades.

Fast forward some 8 years here they were, tying the knot, in an intimate gathering at Bloom on a glorious autumn day.

Congrats to you both ###
