NICHOLAS + BIANCA 23.03.2024

From the moment these two were set up by Bianca’s work colleagues, (mother and daughter duo), Gayle and Leah, they were inseparable, and it was truly an honor to witness the union of these two remarkable individuals.

While Nick happens to be my cousin, I must admit that the day was flawless. With meticulous planning and grand ideas from Nick and Bianca, although Nick says it was mostly Bianca, every aspect of the day was simply magnificent.

A perfect day for a perfect couple!

I have been trained by the amazing Jasmine and share in her passion for not only a perfect tan but the overall experience & feeling that a tan brings with a little tan education along the way!

Wedding planning is HARD! It's a rollercoaster of opinions, budgets, and to-do's.

These are my biggest tips for getting through it all.. with only minimal mental breakdowns 😅

ONE: Give people jobs

Your friends and family want to help so LET THEM! They're not just there to look pretty – put those minions to work and make magic happen

TWO: Stay true to you (and your partner)

Aunt Karen may have opinions, but babe, let's get one thing straight – this day is all about YOU. Stick to your guns and make it YOUR day, exactly how you want it

THREE: Treat Yo' Self

Amidst all the chaos, make sure to treat yourself like the royalty you are! Take a breather, indulge in some self-care, and oh, don't forget the real reason you are doing all this 💕

I have been obsessed with weddings since before forever and when it was FINALLY my turn to get married, I fell in love with the industry even more.

EVAN + RANI | 23.02.24

I’m obsessed!

Evan and Rani had the most epic day with all their besties and family right there sharing in their love.

Emotions, laughter (especially when Rocket got tangled in Rani’s veil) and so much love filled every moment.

Perfect venue, florals, music well absolutely everything was perfect.

Congratulations and best wishes Mr and Mrs Dorrington.

ONE!

Happy first Wedding Anniversary to Coleman and Jess.

Their day was so beautiful, with a quick change of venue (for the ceremony) at the eleventh hour due to the rain, didn’t matter at all, because Coleman and Jess, and their many family and friends know how to have a good time.

Congratulations too on the recent arrival of Hugh’s little brother Freddie. What a year!

Introducing Mr and Mrs Natt!

What a way to end the year!

Cam and Fiona tied the knot on New Year’s Eve surrounded by their loved ones, some even traveling from Western Australia to be there. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect (unlike the days after!).

From the moment Cam and his groomsmen made a stylish entrance, followed by Fiona and her bridesmaids, the celebration was in full swing.

Their eldest child, Eddie, had the honor of choosing who said their vows first, and he chose Dad (although Cam was secretly hoping he’d choose Mum).

The newlyweds and their guests danced the night away and welcomed the New Year in true Natt style!

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Natt!

Here’s cheers to both you and I wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and unforgettable moments.

Love Notes!

When you marry the most incredible humans and they leave a review like this.

Caitlin and Olivia’s wedding was so beautiful and I loved every minute of it.

Thank you both so much for choosing me to be part of your ‘Forever’ 🤍

Have a read of what Caitlin and Liv thought of me as their celebrant…..

Where do I start with Donna? She is the most genuine and down to earth person. The first aspect of our wedding planning was locking in Donna. From our first catch-up, it was an absolute no brainer. Her warm, vibrant nature was so infectious.

We were after a ceremony that was personalised to us. And that it was! Donna’s meticulous planning made everything seem like a breeze. Nothing was ever a worry and she allowed our personalities to truly shine during our ceremony.

We had so many guests say our ceremony was the best they’d ever witnessed. This is full credit to Donna and her professionalism. She made a huge effort to travel down to Torquay the night before to have a rehearsal with the bridal party and meet the Mt Duneed team.

We cannot thank her enough and I cannot recommend her more highly!!! L+C xo
