The Wednesday Wedding Celebrant

HAPPY CELEBRANTS DAY!

What a wild ride this has been!

Not only am I celebrating all of the wonderful Celebrants that I have the pleasure of calling colleagues and friends- but last weekend I hit a couple of personal milestones in my business that has made me do my happy dance!! 💃

50 WEDDINGS- 100 bloody legends officially married!

DJ APHRODITE’S INAUGURAL GIG! - The first of many to come!

It’s been a very proud week, the result of hours and hours and hours of hard work, learning, growth, determination, stretching of the comfort zone, financial investment, years of experience and an absolute DIE HARD PASSION for people and an OBSESSION with LOVE ❤️

I cannot thank my couples enough- you have trusted me to deliver the wedding of your dreams- it is a big ass deal!!
You’ve opened up to me, laughed with me, shared your love story, and at times you’ve shared your vulnerability with me. You welcomed me not only as part of your dream team, but as a guest, a friend, a family member!

My heart is richer and I get to support my family in my dream job- because of you.
So THANK YOU for letting me do this with you!

I’ll be celebrating with a glass of something bubbly later on, and in the meantime, prepping for the next few weeks of weddings and reminiscing over the previous 50!

HAPPY 2 YEARS TO MY SOULMATE

Two years today we were getting ready to say our vows and commit to a life together.
Second time around for both of us but the easiest decision to make!

So many memories have been made and I am the happiest woman on the planet- your love makes me feel more seen, heard and understood than ever before and everything we have together fills me with pure joy and unfiltered giddiness!

You are the love of my life and I love growing older with you- long may it continue ♥️♥️

We may be working today, but I love that we make an incredible team and it’s going to be a big day of milestones all round! 😘 .500

HILARIOUS 🤣

Never have I laughed so much at a ceremony as I did with Bel and Adam!
It wasn’t the intention, but it was the vibe and this couple just brought it! 🙌

As you can see, I love a good giggle, and as they entered the ceremony space together, this awesome pair rocked their entrance, complete with curtseys from the Groom, which had everyone in fits!
It set the tone, and we rolled with it.

If you want your day to be a lighthearted event full of belly laughs, then we can make it happen!

IT’S LIKE RAINNNNNNN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY…

Seems like a timely day to post this, after yesterday’s wedding!

Having a wet weather plan is a BIG DEAL.

Inclement weather is the one thing we cannot avoid on your big day, and putting our heads in the sand isn’t going to help!

Even in the peak of our beautiful WA summers there can be freak storms, which can absolutely f@ck up your outside wedding plans! And if you are hitching in the ‘shoulder seasons’ I.e. Sept, Oct, April, May- then having a backup is essential!

Cam and Jayde nailed it yesterday with the addition of this clear marquee- without it we would have been soaked as there was no other shelter near their ceremony spot.

Here are a few tips to help you prepare-

☔️ Make sure you arrange for a backup marquee if required- don’t leave it til the last minute as every other wedding on your date will be doing the same thing (and there are only so many marquees around!)

☔️ Have umbrellas- Kmart, Temu and Shein sell inexpensive clear or white umbrellas for weddings. You can always sell them afterwards! Some event decorators hire them out too. Yes, it’s extra expense, but it helps to avoid the old Bunnings umbrellas in your wedding pics!

☔️ Be prepared to be flexible with your timeline and check with your vendors if they can accommodate this. I am always happy to start your ceremony a little earlier or later if it means that we capture a rain free patch! Communication here is key- if you know the forecast is looking dodgy, prep your vendors for this and arrange to have hair and makeup finished a little earlier, let your reception venue know you may be a little later arriving, etc, and have your guests in a group chat so updates are immediately passed on!

☔️ Protect your guests at all costs- sitting or standing in the rain is pretty miserable, and your guests are usually at the ceremony space for around 60-90 minutes. Would you want to stand in the rain in your best dress for that long?

☔️ Ask your photographer for alternative portrait locations if it is raining. I love a good shot in the rain, however, photos on the beach might not be ideal (think wet sand everywhere!)

Lastly- ENJOY YOUR DAY! ☔️

WHEN YOUR DRESS CODE IS BLACK TIE..

And you ask your ladies to dress in formal and full length attire- you’d better believe I will BRING IT!! 💃

Anna and Eloff’s stunning day included gorgeous jewel tones for the bridesmaids, and the florals had a focus on proteas, the National flower of South Africa, Eloff’s homeland.

The scene was set in the ethereal bush chapel at where we were blessed with the most perfect weather, the sun dappling its way through the surrounding trees.

Can’t wait to return to this beautiful spot for more weddings in 2024/5 season!

VOWS THAT WOW 🤩

When we work together, I’m here to help you with those vows.

No, I won’t write them for you, because your partner wants to hear the words that have come from your heart, not mine!

However, I am here for vow chats, advice, my experience in how to break it down and put together something that will make your partner (and guests!) cry, laugh and enjoy in a way that Chat GPT just ain’t gonna make happen!

Not sure you want to do personal vows? Let me help you!

BACK AT THE DESK…sort of!

So I’m back from my holidays and catching up on emails- thanks for your enquiries!

There are still a couple of months until the 24/25 wedding season kicks off again but this quieter period is ideal for catchups, first dates, NOIM signings, ceremony writing and reviewing/streamlining my processes!

If you know anyone getting married, I’d love to help them on their wedding journey!
Dates are booking up quickly, so don’t delay if you need a kick ass celebrant to marry you! 🩷

Stay warm, lovers!

Feel free to message me, I’ll still be checking and replying to emails and DMs but maybe with a glass of red wine 🍷

Once your NOIM is completed you’ll receive an email with your love story 🩷questionnaire link, and you can do the fun part of telling me all about how you and your babe of a partner got together!

Once submitted, I’ll get to work and be spending much of August and September writing ceremonies as October and November are very busy with weddings! 💍💒🥳

So if you haven’t yet completed yours..now is the time!! Let’s get together and book your signing in 🙌👌✍️

TO VOW, OR NOT TO VOW?

I’m very easy going about your ceremony, I’ll offer you loads of options and guide you gently through them all, giving you my professional opinion, but rarely do I push you in a certain direction.

HOWEVER…personal vows make SUCH a difference in your ceremony.

This is your chance to shout your love from the rooftops, to make your soulmate glow with utter love and adoration, and this is part of what brings everyone together in one huge love fest!!

So if you are feeling a little shy, nervous or anxious about saying your vows, or even writing them..I’m here to help you with it!

Did you say personal vows? Or not? Tell me what you love/loathe about them below!👇
