What an end to 2024! On Friday night, I had the absolute privilege of marrying two of my dear friends 🫶

At this 30th birthday turned surprise wedding, it was my honour to officiate the marriage of two amazing humans, my beautiful friends, Whitney & Cody 🥰 the reaction from their guests was absolutely wild, such a fun ceremony & way to say, “I do.” 🔥

Congratulations to this AMAZING couple - you’re absolutely made for each other. Wishing you so much love and happiness. Love you guys ❤️

Jack was so touched that Jess welcomed him into her beautiful little life. He remembers it like it was yesterday. Winnie shuffling around the house in her sleepsuit, taking her on bike-rides, and swims in the Pottsville Creek. Simple times. And a new world that he felt so lucky to have found himself a part of.

He remembers so fondly the moment the boys were born. Jack recalls being blown away by the love he had for them, and Jess. It was almost as good as when he and Jess watched Collingwood win the Grand Final at the MCG last year! Just kidding – they were on par 😜

A romantic & fun ceremony for the beautiful Jess & Jack. It was an absolute pleasure to celebrate the love of this amazing family.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from Jess & Jack:

“Maria was the perfect celebrant for our wedding day. She was organised, professional and prepared throughout the entire process. She balanced this expertly with her warm, bubbly personality and many of our guests commented on how engaging she was. Maria took our guidance with the ceremony and was happy to work alongside us to make sure it was truly a representation of who we are as a couple. Maria also followed up quickly after the wedding, to ensure all the documentation and official side of things were completed on time. Her handy ‘how to’ guides were extremely helpful (especially for my husband!). We would highly recommend Maria to any engaged couples! Thanks Maria!”

🔥 DANCE & SIP DATE NIGHT 🔥

Last night I hosted my first ever Dance & Sip Date Night 💃🕺 and WOW it was EPIC!

A special thank you to the talented & beautiful Jo Suter from for teaching us a few moves for a simple & gorgeous first dance! You were amazing! Such a pleasure to be your bride on the d-floor 😄

Thank you, of course, to my amazing couples (not all pictured here) who came along, left their comfort zones & had some fun! Adore you guys 🪩🫶

Most unexpected takeaway for me - getting to know my lovely couples in a way that ceremony-planning doesn’t afford us. LOVE!

We probably had a little too much fun, I forgot to take photos 😁 Thanks again to all involved 🤍

After two separate nights out on the town, Sean and Bridget were coincidentally both feeling a little worse for wear when they arrived to their very first date at the Charming Squire. Bridget had plans to see Mary Poppins at QPAC afterwards with her bestie, Grace, which Sean suspected was just a clever exit she had lined up 😄

They got to chatting - and suddenly – they were both feeling much, much better!

Sean says, “The conversation just flowed so easily.“
Right away, he thought Bridget was incredibly smart, funny, cute and sweet. Sparks began to fly and before they knew it, they had spent HOURS yapping away, absolutely emersed in each other’s company.

Bridget of course, ended up running late for her bestie date at QPAC. Perhaps she has redeemed herself by marrying the man in question 😉

Such a pleasure to be your Cele, Bridget & Sean 🤍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from these lovelies xx

“We absolutely loved working with Maria and were so pleased she was able to officiate our wedding. She remained flexible with many last-minute changes on the day and she brought a lovely sense of calm yet positive energy. We loved working with her to perfect our vows and she ensured that there was a great flow to the ceremony. We could not recommend her enough!”

Jack & Claudia got me on board as MC to bring the vibes at their reception. Amazing team, wonderful couple and wild guests! It was EPIC 🙌 Thank you for having me, lovelies!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from these legends! ❤️

“Where do I start! Maria was a godsend! We found ourselves searching for an MC 1 month before our wedding and I am so glad I reached out.

Maria was so efficient, communication was fun and easy. I didn’t have to think about anything she had it under control!

On the night we had the best time! Maria is so well spoken, has such a friendly and personable manner and really knows how to get guests hyped up!

We are so thankful we found Maria, she made our lives so much easier and made it a really enjoyable, stress free experience. You need her at your wedding!”

Geoff & White Lacey Girl - AKA Mrs McKew!

What a love story 😍 Geoff first laid his eyes on Keira during schoolies. He was sipping on vodka from a maccas cup, as you do… In the distance, he spotted students from his school boarding their Year 10 semi-formal cruise. A beautiful girl in a white lacey dress caught his eye. Geoff couldn’t take his eyes off her. He was so in awe, in fact, that in the years that followed, Geoff and his mates would bring her up occasionally, and she came to be known as “White Lacey Girl”.

Fast forward to 2019, and Geoff was about to head off on a snow trip to Canada - a highly anticipated long time dream for him - when suddenly, his friend had to cancel. Geoff was devastated. He reluctantly cancelled his trip, and joined 15 mates for the Foreshore Music Festival on Bribie Island in the hopes that it would cheer him up.

The boys were all catching up over a few drinks at their Airbnb when the universe sent him something that would cheer him up more than anything else on Earth possibly could! ENTER: White Lacey Girl.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs McKew ❤️

The beautiful James and Michelle shared their first date at their fave coffee place, ☕️ Their connection was electric. And despite already running late for work, James walked Michelle to her car that day. He asked to see her again tomorrow. And the next day. 3 dates in 3 days. And these two haven’t left each other’s sides since 😍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from these absolute honeys.

“Maria was the most perfect Celebrant for us!! What an absolute PRO.

We chose her because she was bright and bubbly, but also incredibly thoughtful and aware of what kind of vibe we were aiming for with our Ceremony.

She helped us immensely with our runsheet and program for the day and gave us a heap of guidance about what to expect and prepare for before the big day.

I happily recommend Maria!

Mikaylah makes Richie laugh, cares for him, and occasionally, she even mows the lawn! She’s quite the catch! 🐠😉

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from two amazing humans! 🥰

“Maria you are amazing! From the first Insta message, to the zoom meeting & then finally marrying us, you have been so wonderful. You can tell you really love what you do & it shines through. We have had so many comments on how amazing the ceremony was. So personal & funny, which is exactly what we wanted.
If you’re looking for a cele who will hold your hand through the whole process, help with your vows, share ideas & make your day extra magical, Maria is your lady! Thank you again, you were amazing 🤩”

Shoutout to all the incredible vendors in this wonderful industry 🙌

As a relatively new Cele, I’m endlessly blown away by the generosity, support and kindness of my amazing industry colleagues!

I’ve been so fortunate to meet so many photographers, videographers, fellow celebrants, planners, venues, stylists, florists, musicians, caterers, content creators & hair and make up artists (I’m sure there’s more!) who have been epic team players!

Grateful for your teamwork at weddings, love on the gram, recommendations to couples, helpful advice & sharing of resources and content. I’ll never forget how generous my beautiful fellow celebrants were to offer a hand to deliver my ceremonies when my dad was in hospital. I see you & I’m so appreciative.

Big fan of the community spirit and I will always support others wherever I can. Reach out anytime, my lovelies ❤️‍🔥

Dion & Emilia 🤍

Their first date was a boozy karaoke night, which ended with a maccas run & a tipsy Emilia telling Dion she loves him 😁

Almost 4 years later, I was honoured to reveal their pregnancy to their beautiful family & friends at their wedding! It was EPIC and the best way to send them down the aisle as Mr & Mrs McCarthy 🙌

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from this beautiful couple!

“Maria! Where do we begin, you have been nothing short of incredible since the day we enquired! Maria is AMAZING at her craft! Maria is funny, kind, reliable, communication was on point, friendly and super sweet! We’re so happy we had you as our cele for our special day. Thank you again Maria, you are incredible and we appreciate all the love, time and effort into making our ceremony memorable. ’s”

💥 Pointers for a powerful processional 💥

🎵 build suspense, baby - choose a killer song and let it play. We’re in no hurry 💁‍♀️

🎵 plan it to a tee - consider visibility, who is arriving, order of entry, walking pace & song choice

🎵 discuss hugs and handshakes in advance when you’re accompanied down the aisle

🎵 bouquets low and florals facing your guests

🎵 have your cele introduce you and your I Do Crew

🎵 consider whether your guests will be seated or standing (sorry photographers 😅 I’m all about the fully upstanding arrival!)

🎵 most of all - when you see your partner standing at the end of the aisle: pause for a few seconds, smile & take it in! This is it. You’re about to marry your soulmate 🥰

🎵 enjoy the s**z out of this once in a lifetime moment, it’s the BEST 🥹

The beautiful & nailed it! Epic processional finished with their very own handshake - see the last photo 😍

See that confetti - thrown, NOT at the couple, but up above them 🙌

Before a confetti exit, I’ll always include some simple instructions for guests in my final housekeeping. And as you can see, you won’t have it pegged at your faces as you make your way down the aisle 💁‍♀️

Love this photo of the beautiful Jason and Simone, just after they were introduced as Mr & Mrs Ramsey for the very first time 🤍

Mr & Mrs Pollet. Proud Mum & Dad to Coco 🐶 met as a Baby Nurse & Baby Wardie at the ICU of GCUH, first “I love you”s on the Elsewhere balcony, big love for their fam and friends, insanely fun, and each other’s rock in this wonderful thing called life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from this gorg couple.

“Maria was the most amazing celebrant for our wedding and just made the whole experience enjoyable. She helped us navigate all aspects and did everything with a smile. Her bubbly personality shines through and we could not be happier to have shared our day with such a wonderful person! Thank you so much Maria we couldn’t have done it without your guidance xx”
