Nadine Leighton - Marriage Celebrant

Nadine Leighton - Marriage Celebrant Conducting fun & professional ceremonies. Together we will write the ceremony that is perfect for you The paperwork is just part of the job!

I’ve been a marriage celebrant in Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Port Stephens for over 16 years and have LOVED every minute of it. Prior to having three children in three years, I worked in executive HR roles including Training & Development and event management. Public speaking comes naturally to me … after conducting hundreds of training sessions I work well with a crowd. Working with a diverse r

ange of people during my HR career; I am able listen, question and then create the ceremony you are dreaming of. Bringing it all together to make a stress free experience for you. My most recent event management role was organising the Save the Babies Charity Golf Day, raising over $365,000 over a 10-year period supporting the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. Organising and running events has given me an understanding of how each piece of the event fits together – and that each piece/service is important. I’ll work with all your ceremony suppliers including your wedding photographer and videographer to get that best shot – and yes that includes me getting out of that perfect photo shot! Would love to hear from you to chat about being your celebrant to help you create your perfect ceremony

Writing your vows can be the trickiest part of your wedding day… how do you fit all the love into one short paragraph?! Here are some beautiful words from a recent couple of mine (it might help you get your thoughts down on paper!). 💜

“I promise to always love you, no matter your change of plans.
I promise to continue to let you think that you always wear the pants.
I promise to always be your calendar, and remind you of all our events.
I promise to always listen to you, but never follow what you’ve said.
Love is about stumbling through life with your best friend, and I promise to stumble with you forever.
Love is above choosing each other, and I promise to choose you, every day, forever.
To you, I vow to ensure our dreams become our reality, our annoyances become our laughs, and our love last for all of time, in whatever shape or form.”

Thank you Jessica! 10/10 is what I love to hear! It was such a pleasure being part of your day. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A little vow inspiration for my upcoming couples! 💜

“There is one last important promise that I want to make to you today on our wedding day: I promise to love you for the rest of time. Every fibre of my being is so in love with you. I will love you every moment of every day until my heart stops beating.”

As an authorised marriage celebrant, I want couples to reflect on their ceremony loving the way their story was told and celebrated. I want couples to listen with enjoyment to the retelling of their story.

Understanding and writing your ceremony, creating a lifelong memory is what makes me tick. It excites me to have your guests walk away smiling knowing they have heard and witnessed your love story, your journey as a couple.

Planning your big day? I would love to chat about creating a bespoke ceremony for you! 🤍

Wendy and Ashkan were married way back in August 2024 - but it all had to be kept a secret (and certainly off socials) until Ashkan’s family travelled from Iran to visit Australia. ✈️

We can now post and celebrate Wendy and Ashkan’s marriage! 💜💍
