Hitching a ride into 2025 🙋‍♀️
What a glorious love filled year it’s been.
It was such a busy race to the end, I’m two days late with this post. 🤪 Better late than never though hey!

Thank you to all my amazing couples who trusted me with their stories and celebrations throughout 2024.
I am forever grateful I get to call this crazy gig a job and for all the amazing connections I get to make along the way.

2025 is going to be bigger and better than ever with lots of learning and new skills to add to my tool belt.

Cheers to another year of love, connection & adventure.
And margaritas.
Of course. 🍸

Thanks to my beautiful pals for catching me in the act whilst describing my confetti-quette expectations.
Looking forward to another year hanging out with talented vendor legends like those babes 😍

2024!!! Can you even believe it?!

Happy New Year my lovers!! I know I’m a little late but I’ve been in holiday mode and still have very limited reception.

I’m so excited for the year ahead.
It’s looking full of beautiful couples and connections, full of balance and big trips, true heart led work and maybe even some new beginnings.

One thing I’m super pumped about is the current shift towards more meaningful marriage making experiences.
A lot of couples are making a move towards smaller or more unique and intentional wedding plans, plans that really reflect who they are, what they value and what they can afford.

In no way is the big shebang wedding out the window, but I am particularly excited about the mind shift that’s continuing when it comes to the ceremony.

As a celebrant, this means everything.
Our whole focus is on connection, creating perfectly crafted moments that are unique to the individuals involved.
We are all about the feels so when our people are on board with us and ready to shift their focus in that direction too, it’s a damn good day in the office.

I’m not really into predicting trends and certainly not a fan of following them for the sake of it, but if these meaningful, intentional wedding plans are a trend, I’m here for it.

If you are too, get in touch asap!!
Would love to hear from you. X

LOVE NOTES from ANGEL FACES
You have no idea how much my heart explodes when these kind of post wedding emails hit my inbox…. 💕💕💕
Thanks Mike & Bunty. I adore you.

“G’day Amy,

We just wanted to say our most overwhelming thanks for Thursday. We’re struggling to articulate ourselves; the ceremony was a perfect blend of excited, fun, happy and heartfelt. Everyone was blown away by you (including us, who’ve met you a bunch and knew what we were in for!).

We knew immediately it was the best ceremony we’ve been to (maybe biased 😀), and we’ve had so many of our friends and family comment on how incredible the ceremony was. Thank you again for making it so perfectly matched to us.

It was far-and-away our best decision to ask you to marry us, and we’re so grateful for the care and love that you put into the whole process.

You’ll forever be such an important part of our lives!”

😭😭😭😭

☀️SUMMER LOVIN’! ☀️

By golly I love this time of year. Sunshine, lazy beach days, family time, midday margies and zero concept of what day it actually is.

Wishing all my beautiful couples and vendor pals a splendid holiday season with hopefully some down time planned.

If anyone was lucky enough to find a ring under their Chrissy tree this year, congrats!!
Exciting times ahead.

I am currently soaking up the holiday sunshine/ thunder storms until mid Jan, but on the emails intermittently if you need me.

In the meantime, dreaming of beach weddings like this one at my local spot.

Today’s the day.
One gorgeous pair of humans left to marry in 2023.
And it’s going to go off like rudolf in the dark.

Tomorrow I’ll be switching on that out of office as we head off on hols at some ungodly hour of the morning.
But don’t stress, I’ll be checking them intermittently once all the Xmas festivities are done and dusted.

But first, let’s hitch!!

COCKTAILS & WEDDING DREAMS

In case you were wondering how I package up my tasty nuptuliscious offers, you can now refer to Le Menu (which is also on my website).

🍸In short, you can opt for the full shebang ceremony, unlimited guest numbers, any day of the wk or location, maximum joojsh and the kind of zing that only a top shelf vodka, I mean celebrant, can bring.

🍸Keen to keep drunk Unle Larry away from the mic? Cool. So is everyone else.
The Long Island Iced MC upgrade could be just the tipple for you ni**le.
Hand over the reins of the whole evening to yours truly, to keep everything running magically and the vibes high as hell.
I only take limited Saturday bookings per month for this option so let me know asap if you are thinking of adding this on.

🍸Then there’s elopements and mini weddings which I am so here for, any damn day of the week.

🍸And of course, for the straight up and simple crew, my Nups on The Rocks options are for you.
All your paperwork and legalities included at a time and place that suits your cruisey selves.
Midweek and Saturday mornings avails for these sweet babes.

If you want any info about these options or keen to float your date before the January engagement rush hits the inbox, just slide into my DMs or shoot me an email toot sweet.

Cheers big ears!!

FIVE HUNDRED… and nine 🎉

Ok so I had grand plans of celebrating when I married my 500th couple.
I was going to make a cake, or get a balloon, make an extravagant cocktail, or at least do something content worthy.
But instead, I completely forgot and did nothing.
So now I’ve realized and I’m marking the occasion nine marriages (and a few days) later and really that’s good enough for me.
Ta da!! 🎉

I don’t really think it matters how many people you’ve hitched tbh.
What matters is how you made those people feel.
If you’ve made ten people feel absolutely amazing as they launch into marriage then you’re nailing this gig.
If you’ve made 1018 people feel pretty bloody good then 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻

Being that life is a crazy collection of moments and milestones, I suppose personally it’s good to recognize this one, as I really am so damn lucky to be doing what I do.

To be trusted by over 1000 humans with their love story, steering them through such a pivotal moment in their life, is truly an honor and I’m so grateful.
So thanks lovers for the laughs, the long chats, the love stories, the millions of emails, the beautiful vibes and good times.
I’m so pumped that after 8+ years, my people still seem to find me.

Legend found me and took this pic. Nailed it 😁
