Jess van Heusden - Civil Celebrant

✨AUG . 19 . 2023✨

💖 CRYSTAL & MICK

My biggest wedding to date, an incredibly welcoming family and bride and groom had me the whole wedding day 7am-11pm!
I was super honored to be Crystals personal makeup artist, providing touch ups all day long to her and her stunning bridesmaids, ensuring every photo op the hair, makeup up and dress were looking perfect 👌
I was their Celebrant for their serene outdoor ceremony on the families large bush property out in digby and I also MC'd at their super fun reception helping the night run along smoothly!

It's one thing to be included in a section of a couples wedding day, but it's a whole other thing to be present all day long helping make the day be magic and watching families make memories. This wedding will go down in history in my celebrant book 👌

I will be offering all three services together for the year of 2024 and onwards, for couples looking for the Celebrant that just does more and does it all with love 💕

My fave graphic designer I've ever worked with 🧡 Matilda is so so amazing, blessed to have worked with her and her skills ✨

One of my first ever branding gigs (and a personal favourite) was this retro inspired work for 🧡
It’s amazing what open type and a killer colour scheme can do to achieve a look that aligns with your business!

Jess was such a beautiful and warm soul to collaborate with, if you’re in need a civil celebrant, she’s your gal! 🫶🏼

Cutest/oldest ring bearer I've seen yet 😂

I welcome all animals to be a part of your ceremony, whether it's a wedding, vow renewal, elopement.
Don't feel as though you can't include your fur babies right into your special day 🙌

Dylan watching his stunning bride walk towards the aisle while I watch all of the family and friends in absolute awe of her too, filled me with so much joy as you can see, I'm making my happy/almost cry face 😂 because it was truly an incredible, loved up start to the ceremony with all the feels ✨

Hilarious, fun and loving couple that had the most amazing, chilled and laid back wedding in their own back yard 🍻 I was very lucky to get to hang out for the reception and enjoy their awesome and welcoming family and friends and hands down best food buffet dindins I've ever had 🙌
Thankyou for choosing me to get you two hitched ❤️
Cheers to 36 days as Mr and Mrs 🍾🥂

Two funny and outgoing personalities that had such a gorgeous wedding and an amazing turn out of supporting family and friends. Truly an amazing day and night, and I was lucky enough to stick around for the reception and listen to all of the beautiful words their loved ones got to share in their speeches about the couple.
Honoured and incredibly lucky is the constant feeling I get when I am so welcomed into a family occasion like this wedding day 💖
Happy 77 days as a married couple you two! 🍾🥂

Getting to watch one of my brides glowing at her hens, seeing family and friends excited for the big day, and seeing a life size cardboard cut out of the Groom pretty much bloody naked 😂
It was all a bit of fun and makes me that much more excited to stand up there with them and get em married!

Super pretty balloons and signage by

02.04.22 💛 The Howlett Family Farm, a gorgeous and special location perfect for the wedding of Bec and Christian. This was such an honour for me, getting to marry a local couple in front of their Family and friends, it was windy, it was sunny, it was beautiful! And I was blown away by how heartwarming the couples personal vows were to each other, truly loving and kind to one an other with a lot of honesty and unconditional love, and I think the guests adored hearing more about their love for eachother too 💛

To the beautiful Bride + Groom, happy 52 days together as Husband and Wife 💗

I recently had the honour of leading my first memorial. Knowing Bear myself, it felt quite special to prepare words that would do him justice. A perfect combination eulogy made up of stories and tributes from close family and friends provided some really sincere, funny and comforting words to listen to 💛

I get to help people choose the perfect words for very special events, this is work? No wonder I'm smiling 😍

A big thankyou to all of the couples
and families who have asked me to lead ceremonies for them and celebrate with them.

I feel undoubtedly honoured, as when you work with me you are opening up your personal life and sharing with me what you want to honour and why, whether it be a Life, Loss or Love. My aim, is to make those moments memorable and authentic!

One of the best days of your life right? 🥂🥳💍🍻
It should be presented and celebrated with love, care and magic (not literal magic though, I can't do any tricks)😂.
I'm just over here with a fresh 'beyond traditional' take on weddings and I'm ready to work with you and your partner to create a marriage ceremony that is actually true to you both.

All wedding booking enquiries are now being asked to go through email, please and thankyou 😊 [email protected]

I've had an unexpected early acceptance of my registration to solemnise marriages and I'm over THE moon about it. This means my books are WIDE open for 2022-2023 weddings! I've been planning this moment for a long time now and I'm more than prepared to make your ceremony dreams come true 🌟 aswell as do all the legal stuff for you!
So please contact me with any of your enquiries 🧡

Other than actually studying to become a celebrant, the first thing I ever did for my business, was organising what my logo would be, it was very important to me. So in September 2020 There entered the literally exquisite and talented Matilda -
Matilda blew me away by understanding me from the get go and ended up creating the most perfect logo for me and my long as name that everyone has trouble pronouncing 😂 she captured my vibe and presented it perfectly. 10/10 reccomend 👏💛
