Worried you won’t remember your ceremony? 😧
Often big events filled with lots of emotion and adrenaline can be hard to recall. There’s so much happening and the excitement of it all can cause it to feel blurry.
Here are 3 tips to help you be more present during your ceremony:
✨ Skip additions that will make you more anxious. If reading vows or speaking into a microphone will overshadow the ceremony, don’t do it!
✨ Keep your eyes on the prize. 👀 I know it’s easier said than done, but remember this is not a show or a parade. You are there to marry the person you love. All the frills and guests are just a bonus. If you have to, block out all the faces and focus on your partner and what you’re here. 🥹
✨ Trust your celebrant! I will be there with you both to give you all the subtle guides and prompts you need. I’ll take care of the formalities and keep the ceremony running smoothly, and all you need to do, is be present. 🥰
How do you plan on keeping cool, calm and collected during your ceremony?

Here’s a ‘handy’ tip for during your ceremony:
Hold each other’s hands! 🙌🏻
It may seem obvious, but when there’s lots going on, what to do with your hands may not be something that you think of right away.
Myself or someone from your wedding party can swoop in, take your bouquet, and you can then be close, hold hands, and listen in as I tell your love story. 🥰
I’ll always be there to subtly give you a reminder, just in case it all seems so overwhelming. I got you. 🩷

🔈 A new TCG service. Introducing.. The Intermezzo.
Without my orchestral touch (sorry guys!) I am adding on a service for your ‘cocktail hour’ where I stick around a keep your day running smoothly. 🤌🏻
This is the time where many couples have family photos, go for couples photos, and guests mingle with each other. If you haven’t locked in a go-to person, you may be wondering how it’s all going to happen smoothly. 🤷♀️
So, let me continue the tunes through my speaker, wrangle the family members for your family photos, and be your go-to girl before your reception kicks off!
If you haven’t booked yourself a coordinator and not sure how that ‘in between’ phase of your day will go, let me be sure to keep it running smoothly.
Whether you’ve already booked me, or thinking of booking, send me a message to find out more!

Some truths I’ve discovered during my time as a marriage celebrant. 🧐
When you’re investing so much into planning your wedding, everything can feel overwhelming. I wanted to share some things that I’ve noticed, in the hopes that you may not feel so worried and alone if you encounter any hiccups along the way.
Can you relate to any of these ⬆️ Let me know!
P.S this is my favourite song. I most likely blast this on my way to your ceremony. #andrewbird

Ceremony tip: Keep your celebrant updated. 📱
We know things can happen, especially when you have somewhere important to be! 🤦🏼♀️ I don’t mind a late comer, it helps to build the anticipation. 😬 But there is something you can do so people aren’t left wondering what’s happening!
So I can keep your guests and partner informed of what’s happening and when to get everyone up and ready, it’s handy to have someone who is with you, send me (or your coordinator if you have one) a message when you’re 5 or 10 minutes away, or an ETA. 📍
It’s a relief for your partner who is waiting at the aisle to know you’re on your way, and it helps me to avoid seating guests too early if you’re still some time away.
Save this post as a reminder to keep your cele updated! 😜

✨ National Celebrants Day 2023 ✨ Today is National Celebrants Day! Just over 12 months ago I took a leap of faith and left my secure teaching job, and started my little business. I had no idea how it would turn out, and it’s fair to say, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made! The experiences, the people and the freedom I can experience as a celebrant is something I cherish every day. 🩷 I mean, I literally get to marry people who are in love!! It’s a dream. ⭐️ I want to take a moment to thank all my past, current and future couples for trusting me with your most special day. 🥰 You all hold a very special place in my heart and I love you all!This is such a wonderful community to be part of- there is so much support and encouragement from all my fellow celebrants and industry professionals. As they say, Community Over Competition, and I have really seen this within the celebrant community. 🥰#perthweddingcelebrant#thatcelebrantgirl #celebrant #perth #nationalcelebrantday #perthmarriagecelebrant #ringexchange #celebrantperth #perthcelebrant #perthwedding #personal #ceremony #perthmarriagecelebrant #weddingideas #wedding #perthvendor #perthweddingvenor #weddingideas #perthweddingplanner #perthweddingphotographer #perthbride #perthvendors #perthphotographer #perthhitchers #perthbrides #australianwedding #weddingplanner #wacelebrant #waofficiant
From reports to ceremonies. 🖊️ There are similarities between writing student reports, and ceremony scripts. I learn so much about the people I’m working with, and summarise them in one document. However, unlike student reports, I can get very creative and weave lots of humour, romance, soppy stories, surprises and banter into your script, and watch it become a reality on your wedding day. ✨ Along our journey together, I will ask you lots of questions, learning about you as a couple, your history, your future and everything in between! I use this to write an authentic script that is uniquely YOU. 💕Not one script is the same, they are all so individualised to suit every couple’s story, vision for their day and the vibe they’re after. If you’re looking for a celebrant who crafts every ceremony from scratch, check out my website for more info!

Karly & Gabs ~25.3.23~From the moment we met over Zoom, on opposite sides of the country, we just clicked! We planned their epic ceremony thousands of kms apart, and it was one heck of an amazing day. Their ceremony was a celebration of their love, and the love of the special people in their lives. It was kickstarted by a super energetic entrance by the parents of the groom, groomsmen & the Gabs himself, followed by the bride’s sister, brother and two best friends. And finally, Karly, accompanied by Mum and Dad. ❤️ We told their story as it was, raw and full of love. Everyone (including me!) laughed, cried and danced.It’s safe to say, I bloody love these guys! There aren’t many jobs in this world where you start out as strangers, learn so much (often intimate) about each other, and in a short amount of time, become lifelong friends. 💕📷 @jillianmchughweddings @valentinesday.studio ⛪️ Bicton Quarantine Park, East Fremantle💐 @floralarmy 👗 @savinggrace_by_ashleighmarie 💄 @makenzieellis @jessrodinmua #perthcelebrant #perthwedding #celebrantperth #perthbrides #perthweddings #perthweddingphotographer #ceremony #weddingideas #funceremony #bride #groom
⏰ My ceremonies are (somewhat) backed by science!“How long do your ceremonies go for?” Is a question I get quite frequently, and it’s a very important question! There is no definitive answer to this, as your ceremony can have soooo many different inclusions and additions. But, according to many studies, the average adult has a maximum attention span of about 20 minutes (and much less for children- in my experience!) So, I try to ensure my ceremonies average 20 minutes and this is the sweet spot. 👌🏻This includes aisle walks, personal vows, signing of certificates and a celebratory exit! If you add unity ceremonies, or have super long vows, it could be a little longer. I find that around 20 minutes is ideal for you as the couple standing, taking it all in, perhaps after a big morning or buildup. It’s also perfect for your guests to really tune in to your story, and maintain that excitement after the ceremony. 💃 Almost everyone has an experience of a long, drawn-out ceremony, but I can guarantee you don’t go to sleep during yours! 🙌🏻#perthweddingcelebrant#thatcelebrantgirl #celebrant #celebrantperth #ceremomy #perthcelebrant #perthwedding #vows #shortandsweet #uniqueideas #perthmarriagecelebrant #weddingideas #wedding #perthweddingphotographer #perthbride #perthvendors #perthphotographer #perthhitchers #perthbrides #australianwedding #weddingplanner #wacelebrant #waofficiant #weddingphotographer #perthweddingvendor #perthphotographer #weddingplan #marriage #love
Want to know why I tell this to my couples? 🤔 It’s become somewhat of a ritual for me now. My couples meet at the end of the aisle, and before I even begin any of my introduction, I tell them to pause, look at each other, their loved ones, and take it in! 💗 Your ceremony goes by in a flash, and I want you to remember as much of it as you can! By asking you to take a moment together, at the ‘altar’ looking at each other and your nearest and dearest, you can be a little more grounded and present for what’s about to happen. ✨ The lead up to your wedding day can be hectic, so let’s make sure you are present during the most important part! Is this something you think would be helpful during your ceremony? 📷 @anthonymilnesphotography #perthweddingcelebrant #celebrant#thatcelebrantgirl #celebrantperth #perthcelebrant #perthwedding #personal #ceremony #uniqueideas #perthmarriagecelebrant #weddingideas #wedding #perthweddingphotographer #perthbride #perthvendors #perthphotographer #perthhitchers #perthbrides #australianwedding #weddingplanner #wacelebrant #waofficiant #weddingphotographer #perthweddingvendor #celebrantperth #perthphotographer #weddingplan #marriage #love

Getting it (script writing) done. 💁 For me, I like to start taking notes fairly early on. I take these notes from your couples questionnaire, our chats, and your general energy.I then play some tunes (usually some Alt J- any other fans out there?) and use these notes to compile a skeleton. I’ll then approach this skeleton draft several times before working through from beginning to end to get it to a point where I am exceptionally happy with it (and know you will be, too!)This is how I worked when writing 30 report comments for my students, and it works perfectly well for my ceremony scripts. 😄#thatcelebrantgirl #celebrant #perth #perthwedding #perthcelebrant #marryme #perthbride #perthcouple #perthvendors #hitched #perthhitchers #perthbrides #perthstagram #weddingplanner #wacelebrant #waofficiant #celebratelove #perthweddingvendor #celebrantperth #officiant #loveislove #craftycelebrant #marriage #ceremony #perthceremony
Google can be a scary place.. 😳 💍 You are engaged, starting to think about your wedding, so do a quick search to see what’s out there…🫤 Hours later you’re deep down the rabbit hole, more confused than before you started. Too many options can be crippling!That’s where I come in. 😉 Having committed myself to the wedding industry, attending ceremonies as a guest, assistant and celebrant, I come with a wealth of knowledge. ☕️ When we meet, you tell me a little about your vision. I won’t bombard you with millions of options. Instead, I’ll offer some suggestions and ideas I think would suit your vibe. Voila! We can chat, bounce ideas off each other and have a fun time doing so!➡️ Send me a message or click the link in my bio to get chatting! #thatcelebrantgirl #celebrant #perth #perthwedding #perthcelebrant #marryme #perthbride #perthcouple #perthvendors #hitched #perthhitchers #perthbrides #perthstagram #weddingplanner #wacelebrant #waofficiant #celebratelove #perthweddingvendor #celebrantperth #officiant #loveislove #craftycelebrant #marriage #ceremony #perthceremony
