Celebrations By Penelope- Adelaide Marriage Celebrant

Celebrations By Penelope- Adelaide Marriage Celebrant Modern, young and importantly fun! I'm professional, passionate but still very relaxed.

Being one of Adelaide's youngest full time Civil Marriage Celebrants gives me a true understanding of what you both need on your special day. I will work with you in a fun and relaxed way and construct a memorable wedding with you. I believe it is important to create your perfect ceremony and the smallest details make it exceptional. Helping you to create an elegant, stylish and sophisticated cere

mony that is also fun and enjoyable. As no two couples are the same, together we can plan a unique and moving ceremony.

6️⃣5️⃣0️⃣

And just like that—after 12 years—last Saturday, I hit 650 ceremonies! That’s 1,300 humans. 1,300! I mean, I can barely comprehend those numbers.

Even after all this time and all those “I do’s,” I’m still learning, tweaking, and still pinching myself that I get to do this incredible job. Honestly, marrying people is like the gift that keeps on giving.

Weddings have changed sooooo much in those 650 ceremonies. Some trends have mercifully vanished (good riddance to hay bales as ceremony chairs!), while others have me absolutely cheering—yay for dogs as ring bearers!

Here’s to the next 650!

𝑾𝒆𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒖𝒑𝒔

This job is unique in many ways. One really unique part is that I never want repeat business from my couples 😂 Once you are married my job is done. Most businesses want their clients to keep coming back. Not me!!! 🤭

But I LOVE it when I see my past couples at my other ceremonies. That I adore. I married & in December 2023 and then at and wedding in December 2024 I got to catch up and see how married life was treating them both. Turns out really well!

No repeat clients, just awesome referrals to their friends. See you at the next wedding 🫶🏻

ᴇᴍᴍᴀ & ᴄᴏʟɪɴ

Proving what I already know, that backyard weddings are always super relaxed, family filled but still look wonderful.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a big old winery or dedicated wedding venue ceremony but getting to marry a couple in their home, a home they built together. Well that is just an extra layer of special.

Colin and Emma thank you for inviting me into your home, such an absolute privilege.

More gorgeousness from Natalie and Cam’s April wedding. As a side note there should be more disco balls at weddings 🪩

Also, I’m always so thankful to my couples leaving me a sweet Google review but when a guest, the mother of groom also has some kind words, it always makes my year! Thanks Jan 🫶🏻

Thoughts

shared their modern wedding rules. What are your thoughts? The link is in comments.

But I have to say- “Fill up the seats.

“I can’t stress this enough, “No matter how many times we ask people to, they don’t and the couple are left looking at empty seats. I know we are all trying to be polite selfless people, but as long as the front row is there for family, and there isn’t a reserved sign- please, I beg you... sit down!”

Sit down people, empty chairs look awful in photos and the couple paid for every single chair!

Tony

His parents Yhubi & Jordan got married over the weekend. And they pretty much have Tony to thank.

Tony’s dad used a profile photo on a dating app with him in it. His now mum Yhubi saw Jordan and Tony and thought I want to meet that dog (and his dad).

Perhaps his parents would never have met or gotten married without him being in the profile pic.

Life is full of tiny little decisions that lead to big life decisions. Jordan picked a photo of him and Tony that caught Yhubi’s eye and made her send a first message. It lead to a first date, that lead to a life time of love.

We are all sometimes one tiny little decision away from big life changing moments!

Jo and Andy’s McLaren Vale wedding in July at Shadow Creek McLaren Vale and The Currant Shed proves that micro weddings may be small in size but huge in love and smiles. Simon Bills Photography is always brilliant with large weddings, but you can see how much he enjoys the smaller moments with micro weddings. I think we all do. Whether your wedding is big or small, make it your own. It's your day, done your way.

𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑫𝒐𝒈 𝑫𝒂𝒚

So many of my couples have furbabies like myself, and I always love weddings when dogs are involved.

Our Jack Russell’s Rosie and Murphy believe that every day is international dog day…..which lets be honest it kinda is.

Beki & Matthew

Many people assume that a couple's choice to marry intimately means a hidden elopement, but that's not always the case. Sometimes, simplicity and intimacy are the goals.

Matthew and Beki chose to keep things just that way—personal and elegant with the talented behind the camera and the fantastic Lauren, their wedding coordinator, as the witnesses. We gathered on a breathtaking Monday in late May. Five of us stood together at the Lodge's stunning outlook (which even doubles as a helipad!) to celebrate their love.

It was an intimate ceremony, pure and relaxed. And I'm thrilled to be part of the elopement team, helping make moments like these unforgettable.

As I have always said, it's your day done your way.
