🌟✨ Client Love! ✨🌟⁠
⁠
💖 It’s feedback like this that makes my heart sing! 🎶 Helping couples celebrate their love in a way that's true to them is what it’s all about – This particular couple had a very strong sense of what hey did and didn’t want there were shots at the tops of the aisle and there was to be absolutely ‘minimal bullsh*tty legalness’ – no problems!!! Thank you for letting me be a part of your day what an adventure we had! 🥰⁠
⁠
"We had the most PERFECT celebrant for our wedding ceremony. Carina, The Wordsmith, lover of love, happy, vibrant, you nailed it, and we are so grateful that you listened to us, understood us, and made our guests feel completely at home. We've had so much amazing feedback about you from the venue, vendors and of course our guests. Thank you Carina, we are proud to have been married by you in the most bullsh*tlessly legal way possible!"⁠

🎉 Blast from the Past! 🎉⁠
⁠
🕒 Throwing it back to my very first official wedding in Australia! After years of crafting ceremonies overseas, I finally got qualified here to celebrate EVERY kind of love. Standing up for what's right? Absolutely fabulous! More to this story to come!⁠
⁠
I’ve been reminiscing as this awesome Mumma and her now much taller little girl—plus their new little legend—popped over to Perth for a well-overdue visit which stirred up all the hilarious tales and laid-back vibes of this cool-cat day.⁠
⁠
🙌 Top Tip: “Winging” your wedding vows is probs not the best idea, especially when your soon-to-be wife has eloquently crafted the most perfect words into a poem-esque vow extravaganza. Look, I did try to convince our very laid-back friend that it wasn’t a great idea! The end result was a hilariously clunky and awkwardly rhyming vow exchange. All in all, though, this scenario playing out encapsulates this couple perfectly!⁠
⁠
If this wasn’t enough, this wedding also involved a spontaneous and hilarious group adventure to keep the party alive which deserves its own post—so stay tuned to hear the story.⁠
⁠
This day wasn’t shy of beautiful and tear-jerking moments providing the balance to all the aforementioned shenanigans. This wedding truly inspired me and showed that you don’t have to stick to traditional norms. You can sculpt your day to perfectly reflect who you are. ⁠
⁠
Lisa walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of Seasons of love from my absolute favourite musical EVER – RENT!!! As soon as she told me that was the choice, I knew I was in the right place – not many people know this little gem-of-a-musical but I highly recommend!!!⁠

✨ 97% of my couples choose to start their ceremonies with an Acknowledgement of Country, giving a depth to the moment we are about to embark on. It sets the tone and draws connection that love is both small and intimate in nature to a larger love and connection to time and space. ⁠
This multifaceted moment, not only honours the traditional owners of our land about to bear witness to the impending marriage but also adds a unique, heartfelt touch to your special day 💕⁠
⁠
Whether it’s a simple nod or a profound tribute, acknowledging the rich history and vibrant culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples infuses your ceremony with a little ‘something, something’🌿✨⁠

🎉 Welcome to Where the Magic Happens! 🎉⁠
⁠
Yep, this is one of the places where the ceremony magic sparks to life! Embracing the nomadic style - I don’t think I’ll ever manage to fully kick. But also there is inspo everywhere and I like to chat with random, strangers from time to time. ⁠
⁠
Here's a little sneaky peek into today: My wife and I, laptops ready, are crafting our dreams side by side. Today, our "desk" comes with local artwork, street art murals, trinkets and treasures, and the lively hum of Midlands finest and work-from-home legends! We're soaking in the creative vibes just down the road from home. I'm deep in the zone, spinning ceremony scripts – I often do a bit of one ceremony – jump to another and then revisit one from last week until I’m happy with them all. My girls next to me doing her own thing diving into other entrepreneurial adventures. 📝💼⁠
⁠
Each bespoke ceremony script unfolds from this little lappy, often in a café – coffee is life! Or sometimes, tucked away at home with my dogs snoring away on my legs! In either scenario, I'm totally in my element—getting to know you, weaving your unique vibes and love stories into words. 📝💖⁠
⁠
This is why I'm absolutely pumped about what I do! It's all about creating magic with words, connecting deeply, and translating your one-of-a-kind tales into ceremonies that scream YOU! 🎤💍⁠

Well it’s not really - I am no Social Media Perthonality but I am a pretty great Celebrant!!

This love-bus hussle is the best and it’s best when it’s busy, full of lovers tying the knot. This a a quick little howdy and message to let you know that you’re loved but my Facebook is not so much.
Facebook is certainly a great place to get in touch and chat up a storm but you’ll likely see my posts are few and far between. So flick me a message here if you like but you’ll find most of my love stories on couples, inspo images and reviews over on my Instagram account: married_by_carina

💕Lee and I have been in existence for one another for years, he’s friends with my friends husband. When our mutual friends moved East. We orbited each other’s presence at a distance. When he reached out I was delighted. He’s just a really good dude and I’d missed having his ever presence 'just there'. Kira is a delight. Such a beautiful addition to now seeing Lee. They have just made the announcement they are soon to be parents of gorgeous twin boys and I’m so blissed to watch the unfolding of their next chapter 💕 ⁠
