Hi, it's me! 👋🏻⁠

If you're in the early stages of wedding planning—and you need to lock in your celebrant—this Sunday, 14th July, is the day for you!⁠

I'll be at beautiful Summergrove Estate and ready to chat with you about all things wedding.⁠

You'll find me in the barn, and if there's a line-up (which sometimes happens!), give me a little wave to let me know you're waiting. I promise not to keep you waiting too long.⁠

If it's crazy busy and we don't get a chance to chat, there will be a little spot at my stand to leave your details.⁠

Pre-ceremony check-in with Carlee to have a quick hug, sign the papers, share a few laughs, and decide which wedding shoes she should wear!! (true story) 😆⁠

One of the important legal aspects of your wedding is signing the "Declaration of no legal impediment to marriage." It must be signed before the ceremony begins.⁠

And to confirm your consent to the marriage, you must must sign it privately, i.e. not in the presence of your husband-to-be or wife-to-be. Confusing? This is why I take care of the legalities! And I'm a stickler for the rules, so I'll always be on top of things 😉⁠

You sign the Declaration to declare that the information you've provided is true and correct on your Notice of Intended Marriage form — that's the initial form you must submit at least one month before your wedding, and no earlier than 18 months before.⁠

In a nutshell, you're signing the Declaration to say you're free to be married — you're not married to anyone else, you're not already married to each other, you're not closely related, you're of marriage age, and you are who you say you are! 💥⁠

⭐️ Google Review ⭐️

I can not say enough good things about Clarah! Having her as our celebrant was simply one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding.

Clarah is so warm and personable, coming from a bride and groom who didn’t love the thought of 80+ people staring at them she truly makes you so comfortable and puts all your nerves at ease.

She is so organised and truly made the whole process from enquiry to wedding day, seamless. Clarah did such an amazing job at personalising our ceremony and vows. She is incredible at what she does. All our guests raved about her and how amazing the ceremony was. Book her for your wedding, I promise you won’t regret it!

Thank you, Tayla & Chris 💫

"Clarah was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She is incredible at her job, both professional and personal, making you feel at ease from the first meeting you have. Her ability to curate custom ceremony scripts is unmatched, and the way she handles all the legalities means you don’t have to worry about a thing! Her communication is clear and concise, and I very much appreciated her taking the time to call me the week before my wedding just to see how I was going. We are both so grateful to have had Clarah officiate our wedding. Could not recommend her enough!"

Thank you, Tegan & Brendon 🙏

A day of love and laughter with stunning Ellie and her handsome, now husband, Sam ✨️⁠

This day had everything I love in a ceremony. Heartfelt moments, a little seriousness to respect the vow of marriage, some laughter to remind us all not to take life too seriously, and a ceremony focused on Ellie & Sam and everything they hope to achieve together ♥️⁠

Beautifully captured by Lauren and Bryce from Common Studios, who are damn amazing and have given Ellie & Sam photos to treasure for a lifetime.

Don't you think it's incredible how a wedding trend hits, and then you see it everywhere. How does that even happen!⁠

Think... confetti exits, aisle songs (Can't Help Falling In Love, A Thousand Years and Perfect before then), seated wedding parties, vow cards, champagne towers, aisle exit 'dips', and yes, wedding party outfits! 🎉⁠

What's your favourite wedding trend of all time?⁠

And for those of you/us who have been married for some time now, fill us in on the historical trends. For my own wedding - now 23 years married - it was the flashy tiara I wore, filled with big marquise-shaped diamantes ⁠

One of the best days of my celebrant career 🤍 What an honour it was to have Chris & Teigan choose me to be their celebrant in a sea of celebrants.⁠

I've known Chris for more than 10 years. We've worked together at many weddings, bringing the wedding dreams of other couples to life. We've also experienced highs and lows, and have lifted each up when we needed it.⁠

When Chris told me he'd met someone, I could see the glint in his eye. I was even more excited for him when I met Teigan separately at another wedding, and we got along like old friends. I knew then that he'd found his person.⁠

Chris & Teigan's wedding was exceptional but also damn nerve-wracking. The pressure is on when you're surrounded by your wedding industry colleagues —Michael Vos Music Shane Vincent Celebrant, Ivy & Bleu Events — and 80+ guests, all the while standing up on a glistening white platform and squished into a teeny space. There's no room for error and absolutely nowhere to hide!⁠

Chris & Teigan's dream wedding came to life with a stellar dream team:⁠

This small moment in your ceremony is more than just signing a piece of paper to make it 'official'!

We can get through the actual signing super quick, but then I don't want you to rush the chance to soak in the love. To look at each other realising you just said your vows. Look out and see your guests, take in the music, and take a private look at your wedding rings. Debrief about what just happened, and breathe again before the walk back down the aisle.⁠

After you've signed those papers, I'll let you know how to get the best photos, and most importantly, enjoy the moment.⁠

What's your flavour? Truth: as a child, in fact, until a few years ago, I never really liked ice cream. Sure, I'd eat it if it was there, but it wasn't my dessert of choice. Not even a last choice (Erin, I can hear your voice ringing in my ear. Nooooooo 😅)

This all changed when I moved in with my sister during COVID, and we'd sit on the lounge, flicking through the streaming services as she put bowls of ice cream in front of me.⁠

These days, I quite like to dig into my own tub! Especially at night when the house is quiet, and no one's watching as I'm trying to find the syrup in those chocolate swirls! 😆⁠

Love this cute pic of Tayla & Chris enjoying their moment 🍦⁠

5 + 7, that's one substantial wedding party!!! Nicole & Tom weren't leaving any of their besties out.⁠

And can we please call our wedding besties our wedding party (and not our bridal party!). Bridesmaids are no longer 'maids'. The honour of being the 'Matron of Honour' isn't as relevant as it once was. And any guy or gal chosen to provide wedding day support is the best man or the best woman.⁠

At the moment, I'm seeing either huge wedding parties or no wedding party at all. It's an all or nothing time!⁠

The reflection of a girl who had a few (hundreds of) dollars stolen from her bank account last night.

Apparently, I was in London doing a little sneaky shopping 🤷‍♀️ I probably was shopping 😅 but I definitely wasn't in London! 🙄

Be careful with the online stores and your stored bank accounts. Grrrr 😠 The good news is, my bank was onto it asap

On another note, how cute is this welcome mirror from Carlee & Michael's wedding.

This was truly a perfect day for Nicole & Tom. We were lucky to have great weather and clear skies to see those Tweed Valley views. And to stand with the stunning tree - and showpiece - that makes Fins at Plantation House so memorable.

For Nicole & Tom, their love has always come easy, and after 8½ years together, they know it’s a love for the ages.⁠

Nicole says Tom is kind, generous, intelligent, he never complains, always sees the best in others, and prioritises his family and friends.⁠

Tom says Nicole is kind and funny, intelligent and strong-willed, and the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
