A spectacular winter’s day at the gorgeously laid back, award-winning @starlinealpacasfarmstayresort on Saturday.
It is such a stunning spot at the base of the Brokenback Range in Broke and you get to chat to the alpacas 🦙
This ceremony had laughs, tears and bubbles! Our little bubble men did the best job and then backed up to bring to rings forward too!
📸 fabulous to meet and work with beautiful @amymay_photography today.
I love alpacas! 🦙 a wedding at Starline Alpacas Farmstay Resort MUST include a chat with these gorgeous creatures! And for anyone who’s received any reels in their DMs from me you’ll know how much I really want to put voices to these guys 🤣 you can have me chatting to them instead 😊
♥️CONGRATULATIONS♥️
Thank you to Steve and Joanne for choosing me to be their celebrant today at a beautiful ceremony in Club Singleton. There is going to be a big party there tonight! 🎉
Special shout out for the bridal party dressed by Temu! 😍

Nathan and Lainee chose to conclude their marriage ceremony with a traditional handfasting. This is a symbolic binding of the hands that inspired the terms “Bonds of Holy Matrimony” and to “Tie the Knot”.
Throughout history, in many different ways and different parts of the world, the hands of the bride and groom were bound as a sign of their commitment to one another. In many circumstances, rings were only for the very rich, while love knows no such bound. The cords are not permanent but perishable as a reminder that all things of the material eventually return to the earth, unlike the bond and the connection that is love - which is eternal. 🪢 ♥️

♥️ ALLISON & ADAM ♥️
This afternoon, on the banks of the Hunter River, under a huge beautiful tree in St Andrew’s Reserve Aberdeen, this gorgeous couple was surrounded by their family and friends to say their I Do’s. Ally and her bride tribe arrived in a @huntervalleyhorses carriage and then when the ceremony finished Ally and Adam did a lap of honour before hanging with everyone under the tree!
Elissa from @gypsylovephotography not only took the photos but she also set the whole space up beautifully! Great way to spend a Thursday afternoon!
Best wishes for a fabulous life together A and A ♥️
Congratulations D ♥️ M
Saturday really was the best day ever for Deneii and Matthew (with two T’s). It was a real privilege for me to be their celebrant as Deneii has just re-joined my husband’s business - so basically she’s part of the family! It was very special for me to not pack up and leave the ceremony but to continue partying into the night with friends! And to have my husband watching me work was a bit special 💕
Awesome to catch up with Chris and the gang from Bedroom Studio again and to meet muso Gareth Hudson (who may have picked himself up a vintage organ) and the amazing bar staff of Hype 93 Bartenders who kept the party ‘hydrated’ with lots of yummy drinks!
Thanks for a great afternoon and evening! 👰🏼♀️🤵🏼♂️💍 🎉 💃🏻
I had a trip to one of my favourite places on Friday - Roma Orchard on the brook at the foot of the Barrington Tops. And check out those florals!!! 😱 I could not get enough of them!
Stacey and Brett are real life high school sweethearts! Surrounded by their nearest and dearest we had some fun and got them married and now Brett can finally call Stacey his wife! ♥️
I love that Stacey and her mum Leasa had been very busy with the cricut getting all the guest gifts and fun ready! It all looked amazing!
It was a pleasure to finally get to work with @jessicaschmiererphotography thanks for taking the shot for me! I’ll see you again soon!
And I made new friends at the DJ desk and in the Twisted Shoe Mobile Bar! Lots of fun!
♥️ CONGRATULATIONS MONICA & STUART ♥️
Saturday was filled with love, laughs, tears and a whole lot more laughs! These two kept the fun stuff coming! A huddle with the groomsmen before the I dos, ninja vows and a sneak back into the chapel to then go through the confetti throw!
I wish the two of you all the happiness for your life now everyone has the same last name on your Medicare card and thank you for including me in your love story day! I had the best time!
♥️CONGRATULATIONS♥️
SHAVON AND JOSH
Some Singleton locals will know this gorgeous bride as their favourite pet stylist/boss lady from Oasis Pet Styling and today she married her Mr Rodgers without a dog or cat in sight! 🐾 just two cute little gremlins!
Somersby Gardens Estate provided the beautiful backdrop for one of the funniest weddings I’ve done! There was so much laughter and love - but mostly laughter! Thanks for having me along on your crazy fun train!
Yesterday was amazing! Tori and Hayden were an absolute dream to work with, giving me all the good stuff to make a ceremony full of love, laughs and tears! They’ve shared such a great life already and I can’t wait to see what the future brings them as husband and wife. 👩🏼❤️👨🏼
And what a beautiful venue Bimbadgen Palmers Lane is - the uninterrupted backdrop of the Broken Back Range is really something. The ceremony was accompanied by the dulcet tones of Kaylens Rain and captured in stills by Caitlin and Brayden from Rosebrook Images and video by Chris from Bedroom Studio.
♥️ Congratulations ♥️
Oh I do love me a surprise wedding! Especially when the bride is soooo good at keeping a secret! A gorgeous afternoon which started as an engagement party. Cue set up by the dam and it was perfect! Congratulations to the beautiful couple ♥️
CHANTELLE ♥️ THOMAS
These two absolute sweethearts had such a gorgeous day yesterday at Tocal Homestead. There is a vibe out there under that big old tree that I just loved loved loved.
Chantelle was one of my most chilled brides when I went to visit before the wedding and all the feels were there during the ceremony with not a dry eye amongst the bridal party, celebrant included (but I cry at most of my weddings ☺️).
It was great to hang out with the team from Rope and Pulley Photography and Sprout Catering - look forward to working with you all again!
Lots of my biggest wishes to Chantelle and Tom for a long and happy marriage. 🫶🏻
Congratulations to Lachlan and Abbey!
Thank you so much for choosing me to celebrate your marriage today! I’ve known Lachlan’s mum and dad since we were at school so I was truly honoured to be a part of this beautifully loved filled day! And what a location! Barry Park overlooks Fingal Bay which turned on all the blue and sun with a perfect little breeze!
I always love catching up with vendor friends and meeting new ones!
@pop_celebrations_events set the scene
@daisybelleflowers provided the florals
and the gorgeous Sarah @sarbostudio captured it all with her gorgeous style!
♥️ Congratulations Kevin and Sharon!
This beautiful couple contacted me just over a month ago to get married today as Sharon’s dad was not well and she wanted him to walk her down the aisle. Sadly, they said goodbye to him on Tuesday. 🤍🕊️
Today was a mix of emotions, as can be expected, but I’m sure Sharon’s dad was looking over the day with a big smile on his face as these two beautiful people said I Do! ♥️
Hunter Region Botanic Gardens was looking fabulous on such a perfect spring day! 🌸 🌺
Wedding boxes all ticked today!

A cracking afternoon in Moonan Flat to celebrate Carlye and Dale’s marriage! This cruisy couple chose The Moonan Flat Pub to gather in a casual setting with their nearest and dearest and it was looking fabulous bathed in the winter sun all ready for a night of partying to the tunes of Chris English ♥️
A beautiful morning to celebrate the marriage of Dani and Craig. The rain stayed away and sunshine came out for them to become husband and wife. ♥️
It was also so fabulous to work with Kalle from @kallesmithphotography again. 🤍
F♥️H Flick and Harry’s celebration started out as their engagement party but they decided while they had all their nearest dearest there that they would surprise everyone and get married! I do love a surprise and I love seeing friends kids getting married so I was super excited when Harry’s mum reached out to see if I was available. Skip forward to yesterday when these two absolute lovebirds made their most heart felt vows and this celebrant was smiling and crying and tangling her words with emotion. I loved every second - the heat might not have been my favourite part but it all added to the fun! And how great is working with new vendor friends @bonnieandclyde_photography and @demiandkailesh were fabulous! And the @thecentralbarandkitchen had the place looking so dreamy!
Jem♥️Ian Congratulations to this gorgeous couple who married this morning in the comfort of their own home, with their two witnesses, all done in 15 minutes. But was it rushed? NO! Was it full of love? YES! It was just how they wanted it and they are so excited to be married - just look at their faces 💕
