Oh what a special day this was 💜
On the 7th of September, as the wind whistled through the gum leaves and the sun shone in the crisp spring sky…
Life partners, best friends, parents to three of the sweetest girls
our Lisa and Hayden said some magical declarations and solemnised their love.
It was sentimental,
it was exciting,
it was HILARIOUS with a cute little Monty Python track to boot.
It was everything Lisa and Hayden wanted it to be 💘
And it made this little celebrant SO happy to see her couple so happy 🥹
So let’s raise those evening wines,
perhaps a nice glass of sparkling kombucha?
Or a classic water with lime 🍋🟩 to
🌻LISA AND HAYDEN🌻
and their sweet family and love 🐝
Surprise, they’re married! 🐿️
When Korie and Alex explained their plans for a sweet secret squirrel legals only ceremony in Canterbury Park before surprising the rest of their loved ones at their party later in the evening at @theboardwalkbendigo…
I was READYYYY 🪩
Amongst their inner circle and wedding support crew they shared their vows, celebrated their beautiful family unit and looked ULTRA fab 👑
I’ve been saying this for a while now,
legals only ceremonies pack a punch in the feels, for all the right reasons 🫶🏻
Yes they may be shorter,
yes we get straight to the nut and bolts of a ceremony,
but please don’t ever think that they are lesser in heart or meaning.
Celebrating the union of two people that love each other with intention, through no conditions and whole heartedly,
well it’s why we’re all here isn’t it?
Just look at them 🫶🏻
So on this rainy morning, we raise our short blacks, our herbal teas and milos to,
Mr and Mrs Davis, and their incredible love story 👑👑
Loved meeting and hanging with @tammy_nancarrow_photography what a talented Queen 📸♥️
A cosy and toasty congratulatory 2 weeks wed to,
🌹👑SHEYANNE AND SIMON👑🌹
This day was such a treat.
So much love, those excited butterflies of anticipation and such a fun wedding support crew!
We posed mid ceremony for a paparazzi moment.
We laughed, we clapped and we cheered!
And we restrained on making the ceremony about our lovebirds’ golden (fur) gal, Rosie (because well, everything is about Rosie!) 🐾♥️🦴
Sheyanne and Simon’s day was the perfect mix of fun, sweet and joyful.
Just like their love 🫶🏻
So this evening,
we raise our hot mulled wines,
our herbal sleep time teas,
perhaps a couple (several) rows of choccie? 🍫
To Sheyanne and Simon! …and Rosie!
And their beautiful day, village and love!
Hooray to some of my fav Swan Hill vendors!

Ohhhh I hope you can FEEL the absolute joy and fun of this day!
It was incredible! And I am not saying this lightly 🪩
Kirsty and Steve shared the most raw and heartfelt vows.
Their fur babe Bean 🦴 (honorary bridesdog) was present to watch the formalities
and we conducted the sweetest hand fasting with her first leash 🥹
A cover of Toto’s Africa played while Kirsty and the wedding party entered into this sweet celebration
while guests clapped, cheered and grooved to the tune 🪩💃🏻🕺
It was a perfect day for the most perfect couple 🌻
I love these two, and I’m so thankful that my little cele biz brought us closer together.
Meeting their village,
being fed homemade pizzas by Steve’s mum at the rehearsal (thanks Judes 🍕🫶🏻),
being told that I had to stay for the reception,
getting the best hugs,
feeling so lucky to be part of something so special.
I pinch myself that I get to do this.
So on this fresh, sunny morning we think fondly of
⚡️🌻KIRSTY AND STEPHEN🌻⚡️
And we raise those second coffees, those herbal teas, that freshly squeezed fruit juice (don’t forget the ginger!) 🫚
to their extraordinary love 🫶🏻
Special shoutout to Kirsty’s face when Steve opens his beer bottle… watch the reel and you’ll get it 😂
It’s been a tough coupla weeks! 🥲
Obviously this video is made in jest (I’m not going to become a drama gal any time soon 😂), but there is a moral to this poorly made video reel.
✨Get in touch as soon as you have set a date!
I genuinely get sad when a couple seem SO COOL, they appreciate my services and then I can’t marry them.
This being said, it also makes me super grateful that I have been asked by ANY couple in the first place.
So second moral of this d grade reel: undying love and thanks to my booked couples, you’re the GOAT! 🏆❤️
Chez and Gav are officially wed ⚡️🌈
Loverinos, let’s all take a page out of these two legends’ book!
They sure do know how to celebrate love.
And over the past couple of weekends, we have celebrated their love, their life together and their brightly coloured future.
From Chez’s neon themed 50th, with The Black Swan filled to the brim with the couple’s village… all dressed in neon, might I add!
To a surprise commitment ceremony after speeches and the most fun of reveals!
To yesterday’s sweetest officiation ceremony with their inner circle.
Be like Cheryl and Gavan,
celebrate your love
your way ⚡️💗💚
⚡️ CHERYL AND GAVAN ⚡️
Chez and Gav
Chezzles and Gman
We celebrated the heck out of these two legends and their love 💚💓💡
On Saturday, we had our baben Chez’s neon themed 50th and it was ALL things amazing!
After speeches when Gav grabs the mic and tells the crowd “I want to say something”
…well everyone absolutely lost their cool with anticipation of a proposal.
When Gav asks “is there a celebrant here?!”
And I yelled across the room “YES, THERE IS A CELEBRANT! I’M A CELEBRANT!”
That was one of the best moments of my celebrant life!
The energy buzzing throughout The Black Swan Hotel was ELECTRIC! ✨💡
So let’s shout a big hip hip hooray for Chez and Gav and a big happy birthday to Chez!
I’ve been hanging out to share the ⚡️awesomeness⚡️ of this day!
Last weekend, I had the best time with two of the best,
🍻🐊Jenna and Jon🐊🍻
We laughed,
we watched the coolest procession of kiddos enter into the ceremony,
and we cheered the heck out of these two lovebirds as they said their I Dos.
…And I fell more and more in love with the colour sage green 🐊❤️
It 👏 was 👏 the 👏 best 👏 fun 👏
You know when you meet someone and you know you’re going to be mates?
…well Jenna is that someone.
She is so cool and it has been so freaking rad to see her marry her love.
These two are absolute legends.
So let’s raise our coffe cups, our 4pm cuppasoups and any ol’ drink you can find,
To Jenna and Jon 🖤
And yay to some fab vendors!
