Julie Muir - Celebrant

Do you want an engaging, fun and organised celebrant that is a cut above? I am passionate about creating personalised wedding ceremonies.
(88)

Everyone has their own unique love story that deserves to be told. I collaborate with couples to create memorable, meaningful ceremonies that reflect those involved. I will guide you through the process and ensure all the legal requirements are met, so you don't need to worry about a thing. I will give you access to plenty of ritual materials for ceremony inspiration that you can adapt for your ow

n ceremony. I am based in Newcastle, NSW but am wiling to travel to anywhere in Port Stephens, Hunter Valley, Central Coast at no cost. Outside of this we can come to a reasonable arrangement.

INTERSEX SOLIDARITY DAY NOV 7⁠ 🌈✨ ⁠
⁠
What better day to restate my values than on Intersex Solidarity Day? ⁠
⁠
Today, I stand with the intersex community and all those whose stories deserve to be celebrated, acknowledged, and supported. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
In a world filled with unique stories, every couple deserves a celebration that honours their true selves. Whether you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you're neurodivergent, or simply two souls with a love that defies the mould—I’m here for you.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
As your celebrant, I bring warmth, openness, and understanding to every ceremony, ensuring that every identity, gender, and love story is seen, valued, and celebrated.⁠ Your wedding should be an expression of who you are, not what tradition expects. ⁠
⁠
Let’s create a day that reflects your truth—whether that’s simple, grand, soulful, or a blend of everything that makes you, you.⁠ ⁠ Let’s make magic, your way. ⁠
⁠
Today and every day, let’s uplift voices, promote understanding, and champion inclusion. ⁠

Have you seen the new NSW marriage certificates? ✨⁠
⁠
When I first started as a celebrant, the commemorative marriage certificate designs were, well, pretty uninspiring. But a few years ago, NSW BDM switched things up with a more modern collection—and I quickly noticed more of my couples choosing to order them. 💍💌⁠
⁠
This September, they upped their game with a beautiful addition by artist Bruno Mota: the Botanical Gardens certificate, showcasing some of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks in Bruno’s signature vibrant style. 🎨
⁠
And it didn’t stop there! Shortly after, three more beautiful designs by Sydney-based artist and wedding stationary designer Aggie Lee-O'Donovan were released.
⁠
Her hand-painted watercolour certificates feature: ⁠
• Bright-toned Australian native flora and fauna 🐨🌺⁠
• A coastal theme with hydrangeas, shells, and Hamptons-inspired details 🌊🐚⁠
• A soft, delicate floral design in a soothing palette of greens, whites, and creams. 🌿🌼⁠
⁠
What do you think of the new designs? 🤔💭⁠
⁠
, I love seeing these new designs pop up on your website, especially when they celebrate the artists behind them! 🎉 But a little heads-up from yourselves or NSW BDM would be appreciated—an email would go a long way for those of us celebrants who purchase certificates for our couples and want to stay in the loop. 📧🙏⁠

A Toast to Love⁠ 🍾🥂
⁠
No good elopement or “legals only” wedding is complete without a drink! Honestly, I almost insist that couples bring a bottle of something to toast the occasion—and I always remind them not to forget to pack a glass for me so that I can join in the celebrations! 😉⁠
⁠
It normally doesn’t take much arm twisting. Even the smallest, most intimate weddings deserve to be celebrated in style, and a little bubbly never hurts. Because no matter the size, every love story is worth raising a glass to. 💛⁠

Read more about this lovely wedding on my blog 👩‍💻
⁠
Review from Megghan + Ben:⁠
“The moment we heard Julies Irish accent ☘️ we knew we had to have her considering our Irish heritage. Julie was sunshine ☀️and rainbows 🌈 She made our elopement ceremony fun, relaxed and beautifully intimate and meaningful. Thankyou Julie, you were everything and more. “⁠
⁠
Dea from has been the wedding photographer 📸 of choice for many of Megghan + Ben’s friends, so when it came to their own wedding, she was the only one they wanted. Her vibrant, lively photography style always captures the energy of the day beautifully, and she has a natural way of putting everyone at ease to reveal their best moments. Dea’s personality is just as bright—she’s genuine, attentive, and always knows what to say, whether it’s a word of support, a funny story, or a perfectly timed joke. Her humour and warmth make her an instant favourite with everyone she meets.⁠ I love working alongside her for any size wedding ♥️

Ben’s Hilarious Ring Moment⁠
⁠
With over 400 weddings under my belt, I like to think I’ve seen it all… but this was a first! 😄⁠
⁠
Just as bride Megghan was about to slip Ben’s wedding ring onto his finger, he casually pulled out a miniature tub of Vaseline from his pocket to l**e up his ring finger! 😂 ⁠
⁠
We had just finished the legal vow—one of those nice, semi-serious moments—and then BAM 💥, the tone changed in an instant. ⁠
⁠
I’m not sure if Ben had a recent hand injury or the wedding shred hadn’t gone to plan! Regardless, everyone was cracking up, and I’m sure the laughter travelled all the way to the beach below.⁠
⁠
This is what I love about weddings: they’re a beautiful mix of light and shade. It’s not just about the serious stuff or the perfect moments—it’s the surprises, the laughter, and the realness that make them unforgettable. ❤️⁠

From Big Plans to Simple Magic: How Ben + Megghan Chose Love Over Frills.⁠
⁠
When Ben + Megghan came to me about getting married, they were crystal clear on one thing: keep it simple. No fuss, no frills—just love. 💕⁠
⁠
But it wasn’t always that way! After their engagement, they couldn’t quite agree on the type of wedding they wanted. At first, they were heading toward a big celebration, but they hit the pause button on wedding planning until they could figure out exactly what they both wanted (instead of jumping on the wedding planning train 🚂).⁠
⁠
As life unfolded and especially after welcoming their beautiful boy, Ryley, their priorities shifted. They were already all in—a piece of paper wasn’t going to change the love and commitment they had for each other. ❤️ Their partnership is built on friendship, trust, and a shared outlook on love and life.⁠
⁠
So, what finally changed their minds? Their son! 💛 Ryley encouraged them to take that step. And after 16 years together, I had the absolute pleasure of marrying them at King Edward Park with just their two friends, Trav + Steph, as witnesses, and of course, Ryley by their side.⁠
⁠
was going for relaxed boho vibes so she laid down a lovely rug with some dried flowers on top of a hill in King Edward Park, and honestly, that’s all we needed. Simple, yet so perfect. The sun was shining, the ocean view 🌊behind us was breath-taking, and the whole afternoon had this laid-back, effortless vibe⁠
⁠
It was magic ✨—we laughed, we cried, and everything felt so real and authentic. I’d say we nailed the brief! 😉⁠

MEET NICOLE FROM

✨ Five years ago, I dove into mentoring up-and-coming celebrants, and let me tell you—it’s been a wild ride!

Despite the long, intense course they go through (think assignments galore and recording mock ceremonies 🎥), I realised that many newly qualified celebrants were stepping into the market without the business tools they needed. And honestly, it’s not their fault! The training is so jam-packed with legalities and ceremony writing that there’s little time left to get business-savvy too 💼

That’s where I come in! 🎉 Most of my mentoring sessions are via Zoom, so I’ve been able to help celebrants all across Australia (and beyond) build their confidence, fine-tune their skills, and streamline their systems. Nicole Weiss, my first overseas mentee from Canada 🍁 is a perfect example!

We worked together on perfecting her processes and workflows, and I helped boost her confidence in ceremony structure and choreography. It was an absolute blast! Her business skyrocketed 🚀 and she eventually outgrew me (which, in the best way, is exactly what you hope for as a mentor!). Nothing makes me prouder than watching my mentees soar 🦅

On a recent trip to Canada, I made a special drive to Whistler to finally meet Nicole in person! 😍 She rolled out the red carpet for me and my family—showing us her gorgeous town, taking us up the snowy mountains with her locals’ discount card 🏔️ and giving us a behind-the-scenes tour of the amazing venues where she works her wedding magic. Mountain-side ceremonies where she arrives by helicopter? 🚁 Yeah, that’s her norm. I was definitely feeling the envy! 🟩 😅

The best part? Our dynamic had shifted. We were no longer mentor and mentee—we were two colleagues, sharing the ups and downs of this beautiful industry we love. 💖

Reminiscing About My Pregnancy 4 Years Ago 🤰🏻⁠
⁠
After writing the blog this week What to Do When You Find Out You’re Pregnant During Wedding Planning, I started thinking about my own pregnancy. ⁠
⁠
After nearly a decade of trying to get pregnant—including enduring 4 miscarriages and several rounds of failed IVF—I finally fell pregnant naturally, just when we were about to give up on the idea of becoming parents. As if the journey wasn’t tough enough, I was hit with a rare and horrendous pregnancy condition called hyperemesis gravidarum 🤢 which left me nauseous beyond belief until the third trimester. Needless to say, I didn’t exactly enjoy my pregnancy as much as I’d hoped 😅
⁠
My last wedding ceremony was just a week before I gave birth🤰🏻I completely underestimated how breathless I’d be towards the end—it literally changed the way I spoke during the ceremony! ⁠
⁠
One thing I did love, though, was getting the photos back from the photographers 📸 It was like a mini documentary series of my pregnancy.
⁠
All this is to say—I get it. I truly understand the intense physical and emotional rollercoaster that pregnancy can be. From the exhaustion to the unexpected challenges, and all the joy and uncertainty in between—I’ve been there 💛
⁠
So, if you find yourself pregnant during wedding planning, know that I’m here for you. I’m ready to support you through every step of the journey, whether you’re celebrating the highs 🎉 or navigating the tougher moments 💪
⁠
Big thank you from me to all of you 😘⁠

⁠
Here’s how to handle this unexpected plot twist with grace, style, and excitement.⁠......⁠
⁠
Try to embrace the change with open arms 🤗 When you find out you’re expecting, it can be tempting to stress over how this might affect the wedding plans. But here’s the truth—your day will be even more special! 💖⁠
⁠
This is now a celebration of both your love and the new life you’re bringing into the world 🌈 Whether you decide to shout it from the rooftops 📢 or keep it private until after the wedding, lean into this change.⁠
⁠
Embrace your new glow ✨ celebrate the journey, and let your pregnancy add even more meaning to the day. ❤️⁠

When Hayley + Nick booked me as their celebrant, they had already built an incredible life together. After 8 years of dating, a few years of living together, and buying a house, Nick popped the question during a New Year’s Eve picnic at Kilcare in 2021. 💍✨⁠
⁠
With their venue locked in and most of their vendors sorted, the wedding planning was in full swing when they got the most wonderful surprise—Hayley was pregnant! 🤰🏻💫 ⁠
⁠
Over the moon with excitement, they decided to keep the original wedding date, and the celebration grew even more special.⁠
⁠
These are Hayley's pearls of wisdom on having to swap out her original dress for something new to accommodate her growing bump.⁠
⁠
"In hindsight I did a lot of unnecessary stressing over whether or not my wedding dress would fit my growing body. It was a big concern for me at the time as the pregnancy was a big surprise, the dress was still being made, a lot of money was spent and deep down I wasn’t confident anymore in wearing it. ⁠
⁠
I feel like I definitely wouldn’t be alone with my thought process on this topic, but the pressure you can put on yourself to look a certain “perfect” way as the bride is actually wild. And trying to control or anticipate how your pregnant body will grow and look by the time your wedding date rolls around is a crazy notion. ⁠
⁠
I waited until my original dress arrived just 8 weeks away from the wedding, it wasn’t going to work so I went and found another one, ordered it through a boutique and booked an amazing alterations guru 2 weeks out from the wedding. I’m actually so glad this was the timeline as your belly (and other bits) grow in the most unpredictable ways and I could finally enjoy food by the 3rd trimester so having alterations done this close to the date was perfect. I swapped spanx for maternity nickers and the stilettos for sparkly sneakers and it was bliss haha". - Hayley⁠
⁠
Wishing this gorgeous family all the happiness in the world! 🍼💕⁠

✨ This was THE NICEST EMAIL I’ve ever received from a couple 📩 It actually brought me to tears 😭 Feeling so seen and appreciated for my efforts is everything 💖

Dearest Julie, Oh. My. Goodness!! WOW!!

With every bit of gratitude we can muster up between us, we sincerely cannot even begin to find the words to genuinely thank you for everything. For allowing us to be a part of your magic work, for giving us the gift of the greatest wedding ceremony ever, for making all of our heartstrings tug in ALL the directions, for showing us all the love, and for legally making us husband and wife. HOW BLOODY GOOD!

What you have done for us and how you have made us feel through this whole process, will always be remembered and spoken about with big love. Honestly, you deserve ALL the praise and recognition for being the best at what you do, and also for just being one of the most genuine, caring, bloody hilarious, thoughtful and warm-hearted people we have truly ever met. We are so so happy it was you.

I never thought writing our own vows would be fun, and I never thought we’d be able to present them like we did, but with your support and cheer squad tactics, I’m so happy we did it. You embraced our awkwardness and weird ways and allowed our personalities shine throughout. MAGIC!!!

Honestly, every single one of our people have said to us, that that was the greatest ceremony they have ever experienced. How personal, sincere, fun and cheeky it was. How you carried yourself. Your personal touches. Your inclusiveness. How you made everyone come together. How fabulous your Irish-ness was.

I dropped my Welsh friend to the airport yesterday and she was talking about the wedding. She asked other guests if Australian ceremonies normally go for that long, because back home they only tend to run a ceremony for fifteen to twenty minutes at most, and they’re pretty dull. She was telling me that the feedback was “No they don’t normally go for long, but this was so personal and fun we didn’t want it to stop”!

And Nick and I both feel the same way! It’s the most important bit, and for us it was the absolute best part of our wonderful wedding day!

Love,
Mr & Mrs Kennedy
YEEWW!!

This gorgeous couple Hayley + Nick are fans of Yellowstone and never miss an episode together, so I wasn’t at all surprised when they chose to get married at The Woodhouse Wollombi instead of a winery in the Hunter Valley. ⁠
⁠
With wide-open skies, a rustic barn, and an old horse cart lying around (there wasn’t a vine in sight) 🍇🚫, the whole place was giving off major Ranch vibes! 🐎🌄⁠
⁠
And, of course, that gave me the green light to rock my cowboy-esque hat —Shout out to hatter, fellow celebrant, and owner of who fitted me for it 🤠⁠
⁠
In a fun nod to Yellowstone, Nick and I shared a shot of whiskey before Hayley made her grand entrance through the woods down to the lake. Just like Rip Wheeler, who often sips whiskey, we embraced the spirit of the show in our own moment of reflection and camraderie…a chance to pause and celebrate what was just about to happen!⁠
⁠
Hayley + Nick’s wedding was filled with passion, deep roots, and that wild, untamed love you can’t help but admire. Their connection is as strong as the Dutton family bond (minus all the feuding, of course). 💕🔥⁠
⁠
Anyone else a Yellowstone fan?⁠

✨ This week, I hosted my 9th Comedy Writing Workshop for Celebrants alongside the hilarious ! 🎤✨⁠
⁠
Celebrants from every corner of Australia hopped online to sharpen their skills—some have been in the game for years and others a new celebrants still figuring out their comedic footing.⁠
⁠
We kicked things off with me sharing what inspired me to run this workshop (hopefully sparking a little inspiration in them, too). Then, Eddy—our comedy genius—took the reins and dove into the theory, dropping knowledge bombs on laughter triggers and techniques and how to nail comedic timing.⁠
⁠
And me? I brought my celebrant experience to the table, sharing actual jokes that have had wedding guests cracking up. We kept things hands-on, sprinkling in exercises between the theory.⁠
⁠
Then came the tips on everything from gathering the best material from couples, to crafting the perfect ceremony, to absolutely owning the delivery on the day. 🎭⁠
⁠
And the best part? It wasn’t some boring lecture—it was all about interacting, practicing, and having a laugh in a safe space. 💬💡I'm so grateful to all the celebrants who gave it their all. ⁠
⁠
⚡️ There’s one last workshop left for 2024 on November 3rd, and spots are filling up fast! So, if you’re a celebrant who can bring the heart but could use a little nudge to get the laughs rolling, this workshop is calling your name! 🎉 Link in bio 🔗

🎙️ I’m absolutely thrilled to have been a guest on the Left on Wed podcast, hosted by two of my all-time favourite celebrants, m and ! 🌟 ⁠
If you’re in the wedding planning zone, you definitely need to check out their podcast! 🎧 ⁠
⁠
This hilarious duo has dropped over 30 episodes of wedding planning wisdom, all in quick, bite-sized chunks (30 minutes or less) so you can fit them into your busy schedule. 🕒 They are entertaining, informative and funny. Don’t be surprised if you want to binge listen. ⁠
⁠
I joined them for the July 17 episode, "WORKING WITH YOUR PARTNER," where I shared some insights from my experience as a Marriage Education Facilitator. 💍✨ ⁠
⁠
We talked about avoiding partner resentment and setting your marriage up for success right from the start. And I planted the seed that a marriage preparation course (like the one I run-shameless plug🔌) is a great safety net for your relationship and all engaged couples should be doing one. ⁠

Some love stories are about grand gestures, and others, like Sema and James', are woven from the beautiful simplicity of everyday moments. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a spontaneous drive, or trying out a new restaurant, it's these small, shared experiences that they truly cherish.⁠
⁠
Their journey began in a modern way – a Tinderella love story. Like many couples these days, they met online and quickly hit it off. After some light-hearted banter, they decided to meet at Bar 53 in Canley Vale. From the moment they saw each other, there was an undeniable connection. Sema thought James was "hawwwwt". His genuine attentiveness made her think he was almost too good to be true. James, on the other hand, was immediately smitten by Sema's adorable smile. That first date was filled with laughter, playful banter, and ended with a memorable first kiss while waiting for a taxi.⁠
⁠
Things escalated quickly, but in the best possible way. After just a month of dating, they took a leap and went on a 10-day cruise together. It was clear that this wasn’t just a fling – it was the real thing.⁠
⁠
Fast forward 2.5 years, and James decided to pop the question in a way that was perfectly them: overlooking the Opera House in Balmain with a thoughtfully prepared picnic (because Sema loves picnics). Before they even had a chance to sit down, James was on one knee, and Sema told me it was the easiest decision of her life to say yes.⁠
⁠
Five years later, their love is as strong as ever, built on shared values, dreams, and the joy of simply being together.⁠

It was a pleasure to be the celebrant for Sema and James’ elopement, where love and simplicity took centre stage. 💍✨ This gorgeous, understated couple chose to commit their lives to each other in the most intimate and meaningful way possible.⁠
⁠
Their day unfolded at the stunning Spicers Vineyard Estate, starting with a leisurely morning in their suite, sipping bubbles 🥂 and enjoying each other’s company. They strolled hand in hand to the ceremony spot beneath a fig tree 🌳 with sweeping vineyard views as their backdrop🍇⁠
⁠
With just the talented photographer, Matt 📸, and a kind-hearted Spicers staff member as witnesses, their ceremony was truly about what matters most – each other. ❤️ The only other beings nearby were a few curious kangaroos 🦘 adding a touch of rustic magic to their private celebration.⁠
⁠
After the ceremony, they wandered the scenic grounds, then had a few more drinks 🍷 before a romantic dinner at Restaurant Botanica. 🍽️⁠
⁠
Their entire day was about togetherness, with no stress, no pressure, and no distractions – just two people, fully present, pledging their love in the most authentic way. 💑⁠
⁠
Their wedding is a beautiful reminder that the commitment made in marriage is deeply personal. It’s not about the audience; it’s about the promises you hold in your hearts. 💕⁠
⁠
If this sounds like your dream wedding, maybe it’s time to consider eloping with an incredible team of vendors who can make your day as special as Sema and James’. ✨⁠

"Review for Julie - Celebrant and Mentor Extraordinaire:⁠
⁠
I started following Julie while studying to be a celebrant and was instantly inspired by her style, website, and social media content. When I booked a chat with her to learn more about her services, I found Julie to be warm, kind, and refreshingly straightforward, which was exactly what I needed.⁠
⁠
Julie is a genuinely beautiful person, radiating warmth and kindness in every interaction. Her mentoring was an incredible investment. "You don't know what you don't know," and I learned so much. I'm incredibly grateful for the time Julie spent guiding and teaching me on my celebrant journey. Not only is she an amazing mentor, but she's also a lovely person with a big heart. I was lucky enough to make a great friend in her during our sessions. Thanks for everything, Julie! "⁠

I absolutely loved mentoring . She brings a unique, quirky sense of humour to everything she does, which made working with her so much fun. Karina is all about making every wedding day unforgettable, combining her fun personality with a genuine, down-to-earth charm. She deserves all the success coming her way. ⁠

Want to hear the story of my of missing review? After every wedding, I send a congrats email to my couple and casually give them a little nudge for a review. It blows my mind how many couples get it done during their honeymoon week! 🏝️🙌 Occasionally but not often, I will follow up, normally if I’m writing a blog and want to include a review. Now, imagine my confusion when Annika told me that she already wrote one. 🕵️‍♀️ A frantic Facebook and Google search later, nada. Zilch. So, down the online rabbit hole I went. Turns out, Google's got a trigger finger for deleting what it deems "spammy" reviews. After a YouTube tutorial deep dive, I figured out what menus and submenus I needed to navigate through to lodge a complaint. You would never find it intuitively without help. Then began the email tango with Google, back and forth. Finally I get an email, you know the ones you can’t respond to, to say that some of my reviews (PLURAL) had been reinstated. 📧 Turns out, it wasn't just Annika's review that vanished into the digital abyss. Oh no, there were at least **eight** MIA reviews! 😱 And I only know that because I respond to every review and these ones had no reply from me. Why did this happen? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe Google's bots couldn't handle all the compliments flowing my way. But now I am left wondering about the reviews that never made it back from the digital Bermuda Triangle. How many of those are there? 🤔 I want you to know that I treasure each and every one of your reviews. Yes, praise is my love language. Your words honestly mean the world to me. Whether I was the celebrant for your wedding, named your kiddo, or just shared another life event with you, I want to hear from you. Throw me a Google or Facebook review, even if the event was eons ago. Seriously, it's like fuel for my soul. ❤️ #newcastlewedding #newcastlecelebrant #huntervalleycelebrant #huntervalleywedding #celebrantreview #praiseismylove

If you're hiring live musicians, make sure they're on board with your choice and can rock it like nobody's business. If you go down the recorded route, ensure the sound quality is top-notch. Won't be a problem if I'm your celebrant! 🎷 Remember, there's no right or wrong choice here. Trust your gut, go with what feels like your anthem, and soak in the magic as you make your grand exit!

🌸 PREDICTION 🌸 In 2024, weddings are breaking free from the native Aussie flowers that have dominated for the last few years and we're diving headfirst into a sea of colour! Take inspo from Kath + Mitch's Dark Horse wedding – proof that bold and bright is THE way to go! 💐💖 Kim from Hunter Valley Bouquets spilled the deets on how this dynamic duo kicked tradition to the curb for a modern and vibrant twist. These lovebirds were ALL about the flowers and their interest paid off BIG time! 🌺🌟⁠ Their brief for Kim: "Give us happy colours and modern garden vibes." 🌷 ⁠ Kim worked her magic using local gerberas, ranunculus, garden roses, and orchids for that extra oomph. A floral display that was anything but ordinary! The color palette? Orange, purple, pink, and a dash of yellow – which created a vibe that was vibrant and lively. 🧡💜💖💛 Orange for energy, purple for sophistication, pink for romance, and yellow for a bit of cheer. The colours complemented the sophisticated but fun aesthetic. ⁠ Forget muted tones! Kath and Mitch knew how to crank up the wedding volume with a palette that screamed, "We're here to party!"⁠ 📸Kevin Lue Photography 🐎Dark Horse Vineyard, Hunter Valley. 👰KYHA Studios 🌼Hunter Valley Bouquets 💄Sally Studio 🎵Mane Events #darkhorsewedding #2024weddingtrend #huntervalleycelebrant #huntervalleywedding

Julie Muir Celebrant Life is to be lived, loved and celebrated

Do you want a young, fun, engaging CELEBRANT? You have found her. Let's create an awesome ceremony together.

I am a Newcastle based celebrant who loves her job. I am passionate about creating personalised wedding ceremonies that reflect the personalities of those involved. No boring or out-dated ceremonies here!

Everyone has their own unique love story that deserves to be told- whether you met at the McDonalds on King st or backpacking in Asia, or even if you met in a more traditional location such as work, I will write a beautiful love story about it, infused with a bit of humour. Your guests will be hanging off my every word hearing what you love about each other (and maybe what annoys you too!)

I will create a relaxed vibe so that you and your guests actually enjoy the ceremony instead of having to endure it. They will laugh and they will cry. It's important to bring the light and the shade. By the end, the guests will feel uplifted and ready for the party.

I'll explain all the legal requirements to you. I'll make sure nothing is missed. You don't need to worry about a thing. I've got that covered! Lucky for you, I am a trained professional with high attention to detail. My husband calls me 'the beautiful organiser'.

You have so many options for personalising your ceremony. I will give you my super-duper 'Couples Kit' full of ceremony inspiration and provide you with lots of ideas for readings, rituals etc- ones that you will actually like!

Are you planning to write your own vows? I know it's nerve wracking but I will help you to write the best vows ever. Insider tip: there is a bit of a formula that I'll share with you. I'll push you, in a good way. The results will be soooooo worth it.

I have a knack for languages. I speak Irish, Spanish, French and a bit of Italian and Portugese- one of the advantages of growing up in Europe. Is one of you from another country? Or did you meet overseas? If you want a sprinkling of another language in your ceremony, I can make that happen for you.

I am based in Newcastle but travel regularly to Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and the Central Coast. I am willing to travel to anywhere in NSW or beyond. I love a good road trip, especially when I get a chance to discover a new place in amazing Australia.

Finally, in case you haven't figured it out by now, I should mention that I am Irish, but don't worry, my accent is easy to understand. Just give me a call and hear for yourself!
