My first wedding at Buderim Village Park - and what a gorgeous pair of souls to pop my cherry! Ben and Jennie had their closest crew present as they tied the knot. We paused for a few minutes while Mother Nature sorted herself out and managed to have a rain free ceremony. And check out those florals from Platinum Florals... so much colour!

Matt and Lauren 💕

A ceremony with loads of feels for me. I have worked with Matt for many years so when he asked me to be the one to tie the knot for him and gorgeous Lauren I was over the moon.

It really was a perfect afternoon. Gorgeous ceremony music by and photos captured by the lovely souls

After much contemplation and a whirlwind of emotions, the time has come for me to make a significant announcement. It is with a mix of gratitude and nostalgia that I share this news — I've decided to hang up my microphone and bid farewell to weddings.

The past ten years have been an extraordinary journey filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Each ceremony has been a unique chapter, and I am profoundly grateful to have shared these special occasions with such incredible individuals. I hope you all understand what an impact you've all had on me.

Some Fun Stats to Reflect On:
On the 4th of March 2014, I embarked on this celebrant adventure, and each and every one of you has made my time as a celebrant the best I could ever hope for.

Since that day, I've had the honour of officiating 506 wedding ceremonies all over south-east Queensland.

The diversity of love stories, the celebrations, and the authentic connections formed have been the heartbeat of this journey.

Heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you, To the couples who chose me to be the one to lead their special day, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your love story.

To my fellow celebrants, wedding vendors, and creatives, working alongside you has been an absolute delight. Your collaboration, professionalism, and shared passion for creating magical moments have enriched my experience beyond measure. Those of you in my circle, you know who you are and I will be forever thankful for our friendship.

As I step away from the microphone, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this incredible journey. Your support, encouragement, and the love you've shared have made this chapter truly remarkable.

My last wedding will be in June 2025 and my books are now officially closed. To the 35 couples I have yet to marry between now and then, as I have already told you, I promise you every ounce of my heart and soul for your weddings.

Here's to the beautiful ceremonies, the love stories, and the countless moments that have shaped the celebrant I am today. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives.

With heartfelt thanks and fond memories,

Shelley x

2023, what a year!

Weddings are definitely back! I married 60 amazing couples this year and each and every one of them have certainly been memorable, diverse and unique.

Let's take a look back over the last year together at some of those celebrations and please feel free to share your favourite wedding photos in the comments below.

✦ Love note ✦

Very happy with our choice of celebrant!

From the day we booked through to our special day, Shelley was a great help.

Our ceremony was made to be very personalised, which made us feel comfortable and calm - exactly what you need on your wedding day!

It was also very helpful that she was so willing to drive out to us to have our catch ups.

Definitely recommend using Shelley as a celebrant for your special day if you want exactly what you ask for!

Nick and Lauren married back in August. Six years after a cheeky swipe right, Nick and Lauren were making it forever with their friends and family by their sides.

Shelley is amazing and is the best celebrant there is!

We had such a fun and wonderful experience working with Shelley on getting married. She is so easy to work with and down to earth.
Shelley really helped us get through all the legal stuff, and we had plenty of laughs along the way.

Shelley is the best!

Your wedding day should be a reminder of the love that brought you together, a moment to create memories that will last a lifetime, and the next step in an incredible adventure as a couple.

Best day ever! Congratulations Dannie and Jake.

Dannie and Jake travelled from Toowoomba to beautiful Bribie Island to tie the knot with their best crew! We had a ball this day and their vendor team was amazing!

Another beautiful love story!

Aaron and Mel were married at Victoria Park on a beautiful spring day. The distraction from the Emergency Services Expo not far away didn't phase these two, and they were only focussed on each other!

Feeling the LOVE!

A beautiful bride of mine recently took the time to email me, which just made my day.

"Thank you so much for everything!
Our ceremony was absolutely amazing and we can't thank you enough for your beautiful nature.

Can't recommend you enough (and Brooke too!! You guys are like two peas in a pod and work absolutely amazing together)!!

So meet Brooke, she's my partner in crime, my wedding bestie, my favourite and I am so bloody lucky she works in the same industry as me and we get the opportunity to work along side each other.
She's the gal behind the lens .

It never feels like a day's work hanging with her.... and I think she's pretty bloody amazing at what she does!

Fun fact - I met Brooke when I married her and hubby way back in 2016 and now she's stuck with me!

Thanks, Jake and Dannie, for sending the love ❤️

They got married!

Congratulations to Laurie and Natasha.

After sixteen years together, these two lovebirds tied the knot on a perfect spring day!

This was a bloody amazing wedding!

When Connor and Izzy first reached out they were looking for a ceremony which would have their friends and family going through waves of tears and laughter and not just a boring "by the books" ceremony.

Well we had just that and more!

Wishing you a lifetime of love, happiness, and unforgettable moments. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs Phillis 💕

Rylee + Harry met when they both moved from.country towns to the big smoke when they started university. I'd say it was absolutely meant to be as timing would have it, they met in the elevator of their apartment complex!
