Who can be a Witness?
The good news is that it’s pretty easy to qualify. As long as you are over 18 years old, can understand the ceremony (hear, see, no language barriers) and are sober you are eligible.
Who do you pick? Well, that’s where the fun really starts!

Sssssh, I’m going to let you in on a secret …. not every part of a celebrant’s day is breezing about marrying lovely humans.
On a wedding day, there is actually quite a bit of meticulous “prep” and very unglamorous lugging of “kit”, but to feel prepared for almost all emergencies (sorry even celebrants can’t control the weather) I wouldn’t have it any other way.
So lucky to have ventured to Vancouver to share this day with Dean and Kristen.
Such a magical day xox

Rehearsals aren’t a “must” but if you have even the slightest inkling of wanting one, you should do it! The biggest bonus of a rehearsal is that it calms nerves because, by the end of it, everyone knows• how to walk in, • if the music fits • where to stand,• what to do with their hands• what their cue is to deliver vows or hand over rings• we can do the last of the pre-ceremony legal paperworkAll those nagging questions are sorted out well before the event so you can relax!And, if it’s not possible to do it at the venue then I always do a virtual rehearsal the week of the wedding, it doesn’t take long and it’s so worth the time! .....#fionagracecelebrant #brisbanewedding #brisbaneweddings #brisbanebride #brisbanecelebrant #funcelebrant #noosawedding #noosaweddings #sunshinecoastwedding #sunshinecoastweddings #sunshinecoastcelebrant #goldcoastwedding #goldcoastweddings #goldcoastcelebrant #goldcoastbride #goldcoastbrides #qldbride #qldbrides

The pay-off for being organised and early is I can squeeze in a sneaky swing before the ceremony. So much fun and it got me thinking, why aren’t there more swings for grownups?

While every couple appreciates a punctual guest (no one wants to be followed down the aisle by a gaggle of latecomers) the question needs to be asked - what do you do with them while they wait? Check out my latest blog for tips and tricks to keep your guests entertained and to get them mingling (pre-ceremony) so they bring their best energy and enthusiasm for the main event! #fionagracecelebrant #brisbanewedding #brisbaneweddings #brisbanebride #brisbanecelebrant #funcelebrant #noosawedding #noosaweddings #sunshinecoastwedding #sunshinecoastweddings #sunshinecoastcelebrant #goldcoastwedding #goldcoastweddings #goldcoastcelebrant #goldcoastbride #goldcoastbrides #qldbride #qldbrides

If an important member of your family has fur, feathers or fins I will always embrace them (maybe not literally for a snake or spider) and find a way to include them in your ceremony. Even if it’s not possible to have them actually there, we can include a nod in your ceremony to your baby or best friend!Daisy was “flower furry” for Jackson and Emily and her delight in being there was infectious! #fionagracecelebrant #brisbanewedding #brisbaneweddings #brisbanebride #brisbanecelebrant #funcelebrant #noosawedding #noosaweddings #sunshinecoastwedding #sunshinecoastweddings #sunshinecoastcelebrant #goldcoastwedding #goldcoastweddings #goldcoastcelebrant #goldcoastbride #goldcoastbrides #qldbride #qldbrides #weddingpets #flowerfurry.

Ash and Shae ❤️
An Englishman and Aussie walk into a bar …... I know when some couples tell you about how they met it's all terribly romantic, the writing was on the wall as their eyes met, their hearts fluttered, the planets aligned - all that sort of thing. But for Ash and Shae back in 2016, whilst their eyes did meet … unfortunately the planets weren’t quite aligned, and the only writing on the wall was literally “EMPLOYEES MUST WASH HANDS BEFORE COMMENCING WORK”.
But as you can guess it all worked out in the end and these two were just a joy to marry.

Having trouble deciding on your ceremony music? You’re not alone and of all the decisions that must be made around a wedding the music seems to be polarizing as either the easiest or the hardiest for many couples to agree on! If one loves Sinatra while the other The Sex Pistols, you’re in for a fun time and it may come down to Scissors, Paper, Rock (or maybe Swing, Punk, Rock) to decide!But before you get bogged down in beats check out my latest blog to narrow down what you typically might need for your ceremony. #fionagracecelebrant #brisbanewedding #brisbaneweddings #brisbanebride #brisbanecelebrant #funcelebrant#qldbride #qldbrides
One year ago, I officiated my first wedding and what an adventure it has been ever since! This really is the very best job in the world, I feel so lucky, and I love every bit of it. A special thank you to Sherri and Dave for their faith in me and happy anniversary❤️ Photo: @your.tribe.photography. Venue: @burleighheadssurfclub
I love to laugh and a chance for a giggle is an opportunity that shouldn’t be wasted! There’s nothing better for relaxing wedding parties and guests than to enjoy a few chuckles in the ceremony, they’re contagious in the best possible way!I always sprinkle a few light-hearted moments throughout my ceremonies and I’m ready for those unplanned events that might produce bonus merriment!

It's our anniversary today, eight years! We eloped to Nantucket and got married on the beach next to the Brandt Lighthouse, just the celebrant, Scotty and me. In Massachusetts, you don't need witnesses - go figure! We did disappoint a few family members but eventually, they forgave us!

This post is for all the blokes in the wedding party – please empty out your pockets! I know how attached most of you are to your phones, wallets, keys, etc., but for just one afternoon take the weight off and hand that lot to someone else! A lot of dollars has been spent on suits, shoes and styling so you can all look your very best on the day, so don’t ruin it by having suspicious lumps and bumps in your pockets!
