🤍Maternity Leave 🤍
And I’m officially starting maternity leave to prepare to welcome our third bubba earth side at the start of July.
But don’t worry I’m not going far !
🐣Baby time 🐣
I will be going a tad quiet from July to Dec 2024 whilst I embrace mumma of three life.
I will just be doing the odd wedding during this time.
I will then be jumping back into it in Jan 2025 with a smaller line up of 3-4 weddings a month from Jan - April 2025.
Then from May 2025 onwards I plan to be back in full capacity!
📓Bookings 📓
I’m planning a HUGE 2025/2026 season so if you are planning on getting hitched from June 2025 onwards please reach out to chat dates and lock in yours!
2026 bookings are already starting to trickle in as well!
👋Enquiries 👋
I will still be checking emails and socials during this time however I just might be operating at a slower response time than usual.
So please still reach out to chat and book in your date, just be patient with my response :)

Fun Fact!
Green has been my fav colour since Holden brought out those green Holden SS Commodore's back in the day and I thought they were the coolest car 😂😂
I have been in the green corner ever since 💚
So repping this green dress was a tie between me loving the color and it having a stretchy middle for this growing tum 😂

Besides making outfit choices a little more challenging, it has generally been a pretty great plus one so far 🥰

A moment for the Aitken's and this dress 🤍🤍🤍
Kelly and Mitch aren't huggers, so they rolled with their own style and did handshakes throughout the ceremony, I was there for it, and we went with it!
Their vendor line up was a massive dream team and I loved working with these legends👇👇👇

🤍 Matt & Danielle 🤍
Danielle learnt quickly into their relationship that there was never going to be a dull moment with Matt in her life and there not one dull moment in their ceremony!
Even before Danielle arrived the vibe and laughs were high 🥂
Then once the ceremony got kicking, we were all treated to some emotional whip lash, bouncing from happy tears, cute laughs, raw emotion, hysterical laughs and a whole lot of love!
My cheeks were hurting from smiling so much 🙂
These two lovebirds just radiated love and happiness, it was infectious.

"Alana was absolutely amazing!
She made the whole process an absolute breeze for us not only on our wedding day but in the lead up too.
She created such a fun, laid back and beautiful ceremony.
It was exactly how we hoped it would be and so much more.
We have had so many people comment on how great she was since our special day.
Thank you so much Alana."

In case I forgot to mention all my packages include bulk double chin moments! 😜
And if you're lucky I will even add in lots of laughing with my eyes closed or squinted moments 😝
(I hope this is a selling point for you😂😂😂)
But seriously is your Celebrant even having a great time if they you don't have ample double chin moments?

Happy Couple ⬇️ Just wanted to say thank you so much for our ceremony and all the work you put into it! The script was absolutely amazing - perfect combo of funny and full of love. We had so much feedback that it was the best ceremony that many have seen! I appreciate you fitting us in although you had a packed schedule, it made it so much more special having you marry us ❤ Thank you, thank you! Can’t wait to see all of your weddings for 2024. Lots of Love! Jess & Lockie ############
Happy Couple ⬇️ “Alana was absolutely fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. She kept us up to date throughout the whole process. She made us feel relaxed and she understood exactly what we wanted. Thanks heaps Alana!”
Happy couple ⬇️ We are pretty chuffed with ourselves with our choice of Alana as our celebrant. What a beautiful, sweet and professional lady. I can’t fault her. From the moment I messaged her right up until the wedding (and after) she answered any questions we had, helped put nerves at bay, and sorted all the formalities. All we had to do was answer a few questions and Alana whipped a script up that was perfect for our day. We wanted funny, casual and laid back and that’s exactly what she delivered. We will always sing her praises ❤️
Happy Couple ⬇️ #Alana was fantastic. We eloped and wanted a very minimal and casual feel and that is exactly what she did for us. Great communication, answered all our silly questions. She really made our day more special. Couldn’t have imagined anyone better to be our celebrant. Highly recommended to anyone, big wedding or small.”
Happy Couple ⬇️ “Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for being a part of our special day! We wouldn't have wanted it any other way and you played a huge part in that! The time you spent getting to know us as a couple, writing your ceremony script and tailoring it perfectly to refelct who we are was spot on! You took us through the legal process perfectly, and made it fun and easy to understand. Eveything you promised, you delivered on and more! The his and her vow cards were a nice touch on the day and a beautiful little surprise too! I've been to my fair share of weddings and I can honestly say I've never been blown away by the Celebrants. It was the one thing I was dreading finding for our wedding... but you were EXACTLY what we were looking for! Professional, friendly, honest, approachable, casual and made us feel comfortable 100% of the time! We are both so happy with how our day went and to share that with you! Thank you again for making our special day one to remember... for all the right reasons. xx “
Happy Couple ⬇️ “ Alana - The Homegrown Celebrant is the latest and freshest talent in gippsland if your looking for a celebrant who is vibrant and creative with the best public speaking and story telling skills you will ever witness as her ability to emotionally step into your love story makes for an exceptional ceremony. Alana’s creative style and relaxed vibe makes you feel at ease from the very beginning of the process her organising and clear structure makes for a cool calm and collected ceremony. Alana listens to you and your love story and most all of opens the door for you to have your own quirky spin on your ceremony. Alana was very responsive, reassuring, organised and spectacularly calm throughout the entire planning process making our day so special and one we will never forget. “
Happy Couple ⬇️ “We consider ourselves so lucky to have Alana marry us. She is someone that instantly makes you feel comfortable and reassured throughout the whole process but most importantly, whilst you’re standing in front of a crowd. Alana incorporated all of our requests into the ceremony and answered all our silly questions along the way. She was the perfect mix of professional, fun and casual, which made our day even more perfect. I have already had three friends ask for her details and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to anyone! ”
Happy Couple ⬇️ “I couldn’t imagine a better person to have married my new husband and I! We wanted a wedding without all the bells and whistles and Alana delivered the goods. Communication was open and honest throughout the whole process and we are so happy to have had the coolest celebrant around looking after us on the day! We had so many comments from our friends and family asking about Alana and how they could get in contact with her and we were 1000% happy to recommend her. Thank you Alana! You’re amazing!”
One word to describe these lovers ? FUN 🤩 Everything about them was fun, from the laughs at our first catch up, banter over emails and all the way to the sneaky shots after signing their paperwork! Honestly, Steph and Tim you guys are legends and thanks for having me apart of your special day 😀 Capturing all this fun was the talented @strattan.photography 📷📷📷 🌳 @toorongoriverchalets 👗 @twelvesouthbridal 💇♀️ @hairby_stephb 💄 @niqueartistry 💐 @thewillowbranch 👔 @connor_clothing & @peggyandfinn 🛋 @bluebirdvintagehire #weddingceremony #gippslandweddings #gippsland #phillipislandwedding #melbournemarriagecelebrant #marriagecelebrant #marriagecelebrantgippsland #phillipislandcelebrant #homegrowncelebrant #funceremonies
