Boring, basic ceremony vibes… could never be us 💁🏼‍♀️

Shannon forgot to add ‘practice soft smiles’ to her to-do list and I’m so here for it, because these snaps perfectly capture the outrageous fun, joy and laughter from Shannon and Jared’s day!

Mikayla + Nick ✨

From Contiki tour crushes to the commitment of a lifetime, what a privilege it has been to share your love story!

I just took a cheeky glimpse at .cenic.weddings sneak peek gallery and HOLY MOLY was it hard to not post every single photo in this post!!

Mikayla and Nick had such a fun and caring team, most of whom I’ve never worked with before and was immediately blown away by the love, care and detail they put into making this such an incredible celebration.

If you were ever unsure about how much I love my job, just check out photo 2. HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY?!

Spring weddings are in full bloom 🌸

My top tips for a Spring wedding:

•Be prepared…
Warm windy days one minute and a cold snap the next- although it’s mostly pretty mild, keeping your guests comfortable should be a priority all year round.
Being prepared with cold water, parasols, fans, shade, umbrellas or anything that shows your guests you care about their experience will always be appreciated and no matter how perfect it’s been all week- you still need a wet weather plan!

•ANTIHISTAMINES!
If you’re like me and this time of year wreaks havoc on your sniffles, now is not the time to risk it.
If possible visit your venue in the season you’ll be getting married a year beforehand so you know what you’re in for- but when all else fails, have your favourite allergy meds, eye drops and tissues stashed if you’re a Hayfever Hottie.

•Stay on top of your to-do list.
Spring is a busy time for most in demand vendors and they may have less availability to answer emails, schedule last minute meetings or chase you up for that thing you haven’t submitted.
(I promise I still love you, even when I’m a little slower than usual!)

•Book your favourite vendors early.
Following on from my last point, there’s only a handful of Fridays and Saturdays in Spring, so don’t dilly dally or you might miss out on your dream team.

•Do your research.
Spring isn’t just popular for weddings, but for other big events too!
Know what’s on around your venue and if/how it might affect your big day- such as less accomodation, higher prices, transport delays.

•Buy local.
Nothing beats those fresh, in season, farm to table goodies and Spring is the perfect time to maximise sustainable and community focused choices!

When I say I will do everything in my power to create the ceremony of your wildest dreams, I mean it!

Here’s just a handful of things I’ve done for some of my couples this year…

•The Groom’s Mum was flying over from Brazil and doesn’t speak English. Knowing this was a HUGE moment watching her baby boy get hitched- I surprised Mum (and the couple) by learning Portuguese so I could welcome Mum and share some words of celebration Mum would be familiar with to ensure she felt included.
(High-key shout out to my Brazilian cousin, who helped me practice my Portuguese for the big day!).

•One of my recent Brides had her best friend unable to attend as she was overseas. Unbeknownst to my beautiful couple, I arranged with my Bride’s bestie to get a voice recording from her that I played during the ceremony. I gotta say though, that one had me tearing up seeing my couple’s faces as it played.

•Another one of my couples had a very important vendor pull a no-show. I spent the whole lead up to the ceremony running back and forth between the venue (which has no phone reception or wifi) and the road (the only place I could make calls) trying to track down the MIA vendor responsible for multiple roles in both ceremony and reception. When this was unsuccessful and attempts to get a local replacement at 3pm on a Saturday wasn’t working, I simply put on the extra hats myself.
Something you might notice is that I often choose a pretty outfit, without much care for practicality. So in a team effort, my hubby arranged a last minute babysitter and drove out to the venue with a spare set of clothes and some practical shoes- to ensure I could be on my A-game for a long night of fun and to ensure my couple didn’t have to stress!

I truly believe it’s the heart and soul I pour into your day that sets me apart.

“1000% recommend April!

If anyone is looking for a funny, compassionate, supportive and caring celebrant look no further than We Chose April Rose.

From our first meeting all the way through to post wedding April has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She has been engaging, answering all of our weird and wonderful questions as soon as possible and her ceremony was just AMAZING!

We couldn’t believe how she weaved our story into a heartfelt and hilarious ceremony. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Family and friends who were there all agree that April went above and beyond!

We could not recommend April more.

Thank you for everything April” - Nathan and Alex ✨

When you book me as your Celebrant, you’re getting so much more than just someone to fill out paperwork and say a few repeat-after-me lines.
From start to finish, I’m all about celebrating YOU and all the pieces of the puzzle that make your love story unique.

One swipe through Britt and Nathan’s ceremony facials here and it’s pretty clear… I think they liked the ceremony!!

It’s important to me that your ceremony is an unforgettable experience for you and your guests, something you’ll all be raving about for yonks and hopefully still cracking cheesy grins when you think back on all the fun we had 💘

“If you’ve got any doubts on who you should choose as a celebrant, look no further than April - she is amazing! Our ceremony was everything we ever hoped for, it flowed so beautifully and was a perfect mix of everyone in stitches and happy tears!
It’s amazing how incredible April was at capturing the essence of us as a couple, the process was so easy from start to finish and April was always so easy to contact and chat with.
April’s vow guide was also so helpful with ideas on how to structure the somewhat daunting task of writing vows.
April made us feel so comfortable and special throughout the whole experience, best decision we made was locking her in!”

I feel so lucky to have been part of this incredible wedding (and even luckier the clouds didn’t open up until the very last minute of the ceremony!!) ✨

We would definitely recommend her - she is lovely, sincere and made the ceremony feel heartfelt and special!”

Just utterly obsessed with everything about this wedding!
From the light roasting of their wedding party before we kicked off the ceremony, to Teesh commandeering the bike at the reception- my cheeks were literally aching from smiling on the drive home.

My 2024 commitment to inclusion:

I am a huge believer in equality and have made sure being an ally, isn’t just a word added to a bio.
Being an ally to me means being considerate of language and experience across every platform I use and ensuring everything about my service is welcoming to ALL 🌈

My passion for creating inclusive services stems from my other career, in which I have provided mental health support for many people in the q***r community (as well as other marginalised communities) and have become all too aware of the subtle (and not so subtle) challenges and biases others may overlook.

For me being an ally is more than just believing ‘love is love’ (which it absolutely is!) but about also uplifting and celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and one of my favourite ways to do this is by supporting q***r community events, because visible support and allyship is powerful and being an ally means showing up as a bare minimum.

This year I am committed to seeking out more q***r community lead training and more ways to personally ‘show up’.

If you’d like to know more about my work in this space- just ask!
