JUST LAUNCHED 🚀

My very own podcast….

🎙️ THE THRIVING COLLECTIVE 🎙️

I am so excited to bring this podcast to you. Starting my very own podcast is something I have wanted to do for a really long time but I wanted to get really clear on my intention behind it!

The Thriving Collective Podcast is about celebration! It’s celebrating women who take that bold move to start something of their own.

Driven, creative & passionate women - using their creativity or innovation to create something that makes an impact in some way. Doing something they are passionate about….. in the first episode I go into it further - the intention of this podcast and why it’s something I’ll be very passionately sharing each week/fortnight.

I have so many amazing women lined up to interview. So much inspiration!

Head over to my other Instagram page .a.monteith for more info and go to the link in my stories highlight to listen or you can find it on Spotify 🎙️ or Apple Podcasts 🍎

I hope it inspires, motivates, moves & encourages women to really step into who they are & own it!

Massive congrats to Kayla & Michael on their gorgeous wedding day! It was just so THEM! And it just lights be up so much when I see a couple create a day that reflects you so brightly!

They had everyone bring along a flower to make her bouquet. They had fun music, they had it at a simple country hall with the ceremony held under a tree.

They had best woman’s and a man of honour. They had their bridal party sit down for the ceremony, Kayla walked some of the way on her own and then the rest with her parents.

They cut the cake after the ceremony to serve for afternoon tea and served this along side a game of cricket!

Just loved everything about these two. Staying so true to themselves and having such pure unconditional love & respect for one another!

Thank you for allowing me into your magic world for a little while 🫶🏼

✨ Review from the lovely Morgan & Daniel ✨

“ Having Cara officiate at our wedding felt like we had an extra friend standing up there with us. She created a fantastic vibe with our crowd for the ceremony and with the information she received from us she put together a beautiful story of our life together so far. In the lead up to the wedding she was professional, yet laid back, organised with no stress. She knows what she is doing and makes you feel so comfortable that you don’t need to worry about that part of the wedding. She was everything we wanted, a professional who could blend in, make it all about us and create a relaxed, fun loving vibe. Thanks Cara, highly recommend!”

Can’t wait to watch your beautiful family grow. Love to you both xx

Corowa Whisky & Chocolate Factory


This is one of my favourite venues.

You know how sometimes you just feel right at home somewhere and always know your going to have such a good time whenever you visit!

That’s the choccy factory for me!

I love that your always really looked after, the Manager - Bec is the best! The staff go over and beyond and everything is always so organised… but at the same time it’s nice and relaxed! It has such a great vibe!

I’m so lucky to help lovely couples tie the knot here.

And if I’m not meeting local couples here for their monthly meetings, helping couples get married here…..then I’ll still drop in and have a meal and do some work in their beautiful space!

If your getting married at this awesome venue - reach out if your looking for a celebrant - you can make an enquiry super easy by clicking through my bio 👆🏼

A Wedding Tip from The Hitched Hub ©️

Your Wedding Hair:


I don’t know about you… but after I’ve had my hair done at the hairdressers it always makes me feel so awesome and I have a spring in my step.

This is how you want to feel on your wedding day + 10!

So you want to make sure your making the right choices that ultimately suit you!

Your face, your hair, your dress, your style & your vision.

I don’t know much about hair and can’t style my own hair to save myself - I lean on the pro’s when required.

But I do know a thing or two about weddings…

Scroll through the slides to read some of my handy wedding tips when booking your hair dresser!

Hi I’m Cara 👋🏻

I’m a marriage celebrant, digital business owner & Mum to 4 little ones.

It’s my absolute passion to help those getting married and guide you through the process of planning your ceremony!

I service the regions of the Riverina & North East VIC and you will find me conducting ceremonies in places such as Wagga, Coolamon, Ganmain, Narrandera, Corowa, Wahgunyah, Rutherglen, Wangaratta, Beechworth & Albury….. But there are also so many magical little spots in and around these places that I’m always happy to venture too! I love an adventure!

Now as a celebrant I bring my extensive experience in the event and wedding industry with over 20 years of experience including 4 years running my own wedding planning business.

So not only do I take care of your legals & host your ceremony - I also help coordinate your ceremony and bring all the moving pieces together on the day.

I love it!!

And remember your ceremony is a super important part to your day because it’s what kickstarts the rest of your wedding celebrations! You can’t party without getting married (well you could but that’s not the point is it)!

You want to start your day with a ceremony that absolutely reflects you as a couple! So find a celebrant that absolutely vibes with you!

If you think I could be the right celebrant for you……you can get in touch by visiting my website or clicking on the link in my bio👆🏼

💕 Emma and Jake 💕

Can’t believe it’s already been just over a week since your wedding day! That time went quick! I hope your still both on a high and enjoying your newly wed love bubble.

What an absolutely amazing wedding day for you both.

It was such a mix of laid back country and vibrant colour and fun! All the little intricate touches came together so beautifully and you could see Jake & Em enjoyed every moment of it & just had so much fun!

How excited is Elle to get to her wedding ceremony!! She was pumped and full of so much happiness!!

🙌🏼 As a celebrant I like to make sure I get that entrance spot on. So I’ll be in contact with someone in your bridal party so I know when you’ve arrived at the venue.

🙌🏼 Dependent on the location of the ceremony and your arrival point I’ll come see you and the bridesmaids.

🙌🏼 I’ll get you to hang 10 if I think we are waiting on guests.

🙌🏼 Then once I know your absolutely ready (so you don’t need to p*e, have a drink or shake off any pre ceremony nerves) I’ll go back to the ceremony space and welcome your guests & give the housekeeping!

🙌🏼 In Elle’s case I got the guests to give a big massive cheer just as she was arriving and it totally pumped her up! It was so much fun!!

🌺 Just Married - Emma & Jake 🌺

What an absolute honour to be chosen as celebrant for this beautiful couple!

High school Sweet Hearts!

💕I was so lucky to meet Em 7 years ago when she was studying wedding planning in Melbourne and it was when I opened a Wedding Planning business. I needed someone awesome to come on and work with me and Em was the perfect person!

💕 She worked so hard, she is loyal, dedicated, trustworthy, switched on & she didn’t just become one of my best employees but also a great friend!

💕 Em then moved back home to her local roots in the Riverina to be with her Jake and close to her family. She has since created her very own wedding empire - & helps create dream weddings for couples

every wedding season!

💕 It was so wonderful to watch her and Jake pull their beautiful wedding together yesterday.

💕 I felt honoured, proud & just so much happiness for them both!

💕 You deserved such a magical day and from all the footage it looked like you got just that… which I knew you would!!

💕 Love to you both Mr and Mrs Lucas!

Meet Cara (me)- the girl behind this business!

As you can see I have my hands & my heart full of beautiful kids.

When I’m not working as a wedding coach, digital business owner or a marriage celebrant I’m a full time Mumma to 4 kids!

They are my motivation, my drive, my challenge, my happiness, my heart, and they honestly help me find a new piece of me each and every day.

Children are such a blessing! They shine the light on paths you didn’t realise existed within you.

They teach you how to make choices that are right for you & your family. Choices that light you up.

They are on this journey with me, and behind the scenes they keep me grounded and grateful!

Love should always be celebrated in all its forms!

✨Anita & Thomas ✨

What a day full of love & connection!

It’s been 15 years in the waiting…. Or you could even say it’s been an eternal knowing of the universe that these two beautiful souls were eventually going to celebrate their raw passion and have a wedding day!!

Anita and Thomas met when they were very young but didn’t realise at the time that they had actually met “their person”. So they went their seperate ways, lived, learnt and actually realised they measured everyone they met in their future against each other!

Eventually the universe brought them back together & they have shared so many beautiful memories together and really grown by each other side and through each other.

They also have 2 beautiful daughters who stood up the front by their side as their bridesmaids on the day!

It was such a beautiful day to take part in and I’ll be sharing so much more over time!

This super fun image was taken by the super talented who was such a gem to work with on the day! We had lots of fun!!

✨ The Radiance ✨

Every bride, every couple, every wedding is different!

Your wedding day comes with a absolute cocktail of emotions!

✨When Isabella arrived at her wedding she pretty much jumped out of the car with excitement!

✨ She was on a high, so happy and so pumped and ready to walk down that aisle! I’m pretty sure her words were to me were “Let’s do this”!!

✨ One of the happiest brides I ever have seen!

✨ And as you can see in this beautiful image by that radiance and Joy kept on shining all day long!

✨Review from my penguin couple - Lou & Matt 🐧 ✨

Swipe across for the review or read below:

“Cara, where do we begin other than at the beginning. We can’t remember exactly how we found you but we kept saying the right celebrant will shine and my goodness if you aren’t sunshine in human form! We knew straight away that you would be the perfect fit for our not yet put together wedding. You are cool calm and always feel to have things under control. Our chats were always welcomed even looked forward too. We needed to adjust plans, be adaptable and you nailed it and I’m not even talking about needing to that during the ceremony due to weather (which you also nailed!).
You not only had an impact on our journey to the wedding but also on our guests, they have asked about you in spades with some asking how long we have been friends. I’d like to say two years but I’m sure all your couples try to claim you as a friend.
You truly made our ceremony a beautiful one that will will cherish forever. Thank-you, with love from your penguin couple x “

Thanks Matt & Lou. You definitely felt like life time friends xx

There are so many couples who become like close friends by the time their wedding rolls around.

✨I love really getting to know you and creating a wedding ceremony that truly represents you as a couple.

✨So this means we become pretty tight! I actually miss a lot of my couples once their wedding is finished.

✨ But I stay in touch & I love seeing your life unfold after your wedding day. Holidays, memories, kids and all the happiness!

✨ This is a photo of Ash & I! I loved my time meeting and connecting with Ash & Jake… they even gave me a nickname 😆 I was big C!

✨ And Ash was so thoughtful to give me a card & a gift after the ceremony even though that moment is about them.

✨ And she had researched and worked out I love doterra oils and had earrings made for me from recycled doterra bottles which I wear at loads of my weddings and think of Ash!

✨How lucky am I to have such a beautiful job!

Another big CONGRATS to Elle & Frenchy on the weekend!

This photo by is a perfect reflection of the couple!

Elle is a very strong independent woman. She knows herself and she is completely herself in every aspect. She is a lot of fun!

Frenchy is very playful, quiet and loving. Always helping others and happy to just quietly go about doing things he loves.

They are wonderful parents, have a love for watching their boys interact and grow and they will stand by each other through thick and thin!

The couple did a beautiful job planning their wedding at and everything came together beautifully.

Big congrats to local mates - Thomas & Anita!

What an awesome celebration for these two on Saturday! They have been waiting for this day for many years and there were many dips and dives but they eventually got to the very day that was meant to be their day!

They were absolutely in their own world in the ceremony, mesmerised by each other, emotional and so totally immersed in each other. It was very deep and beautiful to see.

They ran their own show in the ceremony… I was just there to keep things on track. Just like they live their lives… they do what suits them and are entirely themselves!

Thanks for choosing me as your celebrant for the day. Was very honoured! Xx

Congrats to Elle & Frenchy yesterday! Short and sweet wedding to celebrate their little family.

It was hosted at and after a lot of rain before the ceremony (which is totally good luck on your wedding day) the sun came out and it all cleared up for a beautiful gum tree ceremony.

Wish you all the love & thanks for inviting me into your special day!

🤍 Jade & Taylor - 17.11.2023 🤍

“Their relationship and love deserved this moment. It deserves a celebration of what they have built and what they intend to create”

🫶🏼 These two were so wonderful to connect with , they were so fun, easy going and just genuine, great people!

🫶🏼 They absolutely adore each other, they were made for each other, accept eachother completely and love unconditionally.

🫶🏼 They hosted their wedding in Taylor’s home town of Corowa. Because as Tay states - “you can’t beat the Murray” which I completely agree with.

🫶🏼 It was kind of cool how we connected actually as Tay being from Corowa - my fav place and where I also got married & Jade from Geelong where I had lived for 17 years of my life. Very cool!

🫶🏼 Thank you for inviting me into your life over this last 10 months & thank you for allowing me to create something special and stand by you in such a special moment. I feel very blessed!

🫶🏼 I wish you both all the best into your future. I know you will smash life! Your such devoted parents to little Albie which is so beautiful to see. Keep supporting eachother, keep growing, evolving, laughing, smiling & continue those 7 second kisses well into you future!

Big congrats again &

Now the tribe that brought it all together:
