MARRIAGE CELEBRANT A little about me….. I’m an over organised ambitious person (just ask my friends) who is a problem solver at heart.
(10)

Hi my name is Anka (yep just like on a boat!) and I’m pretty excited to say that I am an Authorised Marriage Celebrant and I absolutely love it! I love a good glass of red by an open campfire, outdoor adventures, cooking up a storm and the satisfaction of crossing off a job on my daily to do list. I love a good challenge and being able to use my jack of all trades skills to get a job done. I have

been happily married for over 11 years and together for over 18. Together Benny (my husband) and I have created one amazing wild at heart little girl who we both consider to be the love of our lives. She may drive me crazy at times but those platinum blonde curls, wicked laugh and baby blue eyes melt my heart and I can’t imagine my life any other way. Since becoming a Mum my life took a new direction and I decided to take a chance on a crazy idea I had to become a Marriage Celebrant. I still have a day job working for our family run building business but my passion and labour of love is Anka McMahon Celebrant of Celebrations. I have always wanted to do something different in our local community and I feel all of my choices in life and career paths have steered me right to where I am meant to be as a passionate, enthusiastic , modern and I’m going to say young Marriage Celebrant. (30ish is still young right..? I can still go on Contiki!)

I love working with my couples to create personalised ceremonies about them and their unique love stories that also reflect their own personal values, beliefs, styles and personalities. Servicing the New England North West Region (and further if you want me too) I’m always up for some fun with an original, modern non-religious approach. My ceremonies are more on the shorter side (approx 20 mins) but are jam packed with your story, love and laughs. My experience is backed up with a Cert IV Celebrancy, Diplomas in Events, Tourism, Management, Interior and Graphic Design. I have experience in public speaking and am also a Justice of the Peace for NSW. Ready, wait for it…. (Slogan Time)

“If you would like a celebration as unique as you are and done the way you want it…
Then I’d love to be a part of your journey!”

I’d love to hear from you… Cheers Anka x

🎉📚 Hey there, wonderful celebrant fam! 📚🎉

It's time to spill the confetti, pop some virtual champagne, and embrace a new chapter! 🥂✨

First off, I want to extend the BIGGEST heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you who has been a part of my celebrant journey over the last 6.5 incredible years. 🙏💖 🙏 Whether you were exchanging vows, renewing your love, working alongside me in the industry or just cheering from the sidelines, you've made this journey truly unforgettable. 🥂

Now, let's get to the nitty-gritty: My books for 2023 and 2024 are currently closed. 📆🚫 But hold onto your party hats because who knows what 2025 and onwards will bring! 🎩✨

💌 All current bookings will be honoured with an abundance of love and gratitude. It's a privilege to stand by your side during your special moments, and I can't wait to make these celebrations unforgettable. 🎉❤️ It's going to be a blast!

But here's the twist in this celebratory plot: I won't be taking any new bookings from now on. 🙅‍♀️📔 It's time for me to take a little breather and prepare for the exciting adventures that await! Life is full of surprises, and I'm keeping my heart and mind open to whatever the future holds.

So, here's to looking back at the beautiful memories we've created together and to the exciting journey that lies ahead. 🌟💫 Thank you from the bottom of my celebrant heart! 🌼

Stay tuned for updates, and let's make every moment worth celebrating! 🥳🎉✨

🎉🌼 Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible Mums out there! 🌼🎉

As a marriage celebrant, I've had the pleasure of uniting couples in love and witnessing beautiful moments. But today, let's take a moment to celebrate the real MVPs of weddings—the mums who make everything happen behind the scenes! 👰‍♀️💒💪

To all the mums who have mastered the art of wrangling family dramas, seating charts, and bridesmaid meltdowns, we salute you! You deserve a gold medal in event coordination and a lifetime supply of coffee for those marathon planning sessions! ☕️✨

You're the unsung heroes who make sure the wedding day goes off without a hitch, even if it means busting out the emergency sewing kit or mastering the art of stealthy bouquet toss interceptions. Your superpowers are unmatched! 🦸‍♀️💐

And let's not forget about the dance floor! You're the mums who can boogie down with the best of them, showing off moves that put even the most skilled dancers to shame. You light up the room with your infectious energy and killer dance moves! 💃🕺

To all the mums who have helped create countless unforgettable wedding memories, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your love, support, and uncanny ability to keep the peace are truly remarkable. 💖

Happy Mother's Day, fabulous mums! May your day be filled with laughter, love, and happily ever after! 😄💍

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Just a quick note to say that I am out of the office for some time away with my family.

I will be back on deck from Wednesday 26 April, and will respond to all emails, phone calls and messages then.

Cheers Anka x

A small and intimate ceremony is perfect for some couples and the special moment can be even more meaningful with a close selection of friends and family to share it with. Congratulations to those who chose this option and are now celebrating and sharing the news with family and friends.

Also, a timely reminder that not every wedding I perform makes it onto my socials each couple has the final say on their big day and that’s totally fine by me 😘

Thanks Mel & Brodie for my lovely present yesterday 💛

Yesterday was beyond epic! 😎 I kicked off my 2023 wedding season with my “Simple Wedding Day” where I got the chance to marry 3 beautiful couples 💕 woohoo 🥳

What’s a simple wedding day you ask? Well it’s No fuss, just the bare required legals, a quick kiss and BAM DONE! That easy! And its my new fav thing 😍 (with or without a crowd).

In fact the day was sooo much fun I completely forgot to take any photos 😂 so enjoy a pic of me from last year!

Huge congratulations to all my newlyweds I can’t wait to share some photos at a later date as some of them are still sharing the news with family and friends. 📸

Kick off 2023 with a bang 💥with a huge day of wedding meetings! Love meeting my new couples 💕

Get to know me!

Hi my name is Anka (yep just like on a boat!) and I’m pretty excited to say that I am an Authorised Marriage Celebrant and I absolutely love it!

A little about me….. I love a good glass of red by an open campfire, outdoor adventures, cooking up a storm and the satisfaction of crossing off a job on my daily to do list. I’m an over organised ambitious person (just ask my friends) who is a problem solver at heart. I love a good challenge and being able to use my jack of all trades skills to get a job done.

I have been happily married for over 7 years and together for over 14. Together Benny (my husband) and I have created one amazing wild at heart little girl who we both consider to be the love of our lives. She may drive me crazy at times but those platinum blonde curls, wicked laugh and baby blue eyes melt my heart and I can’t imagine my life any other way.
