And here is the sweetest review 🥰

“Rachel was an exceptional marriage celebrant at our recent farm wedding. From the moment we chose her for our special day we felt like she had everything under control. Rachel has a relaxed style, she is calm whilst exuding warmth and a genuine love for her job. We never felt like just another couple, we felt like she cared about our day and matched everything to suit our needs and desires which made our service so unique. Rachel was there to answer all the questions we had and nothing was too much trouble. On the day itself Rachel did a fantastic job of taking charge of the ceremony in a gentle way making it feel natural and breezy. Many guests commented on how friendly and warm she was and how she fitted in just like family! We can't recommend her highly enough, if you choose Rachel, you won’t be disappointed!”

Dee 💗 Reece

These two beautiful blondes were married earlier this year in the midst of the crazy busy wedding season but I will always remember their wedding for the support of their family and friends.. hanging onto every word, crying along with Reece’s grandfather’s poignant ceremony speech and the cheer was deafening when lucky me pronounced them as married!
It was magic!

Thank you Dee and Reece for this review 🥺🥰

"Rachel was an absolute angel in both the lead up to the wedding and the actual day. We were able to facilitate all of our pre-meeting via either phone or FaceTime, and although we didn’t get to meet Rachel in the flesh until the big day, we had all the confidence in the world that she was going to be amazing. On the actual day, we had the most beautiful ceremony which was the perfect mix of our personalities. Our guests still rave on about how Rachel is the best celebrant they have seen, and we agree!"

Matthew ♥️ Lee
The most gorgeous couple inside & out! Married at the beautiful with their nearest & dearest and Billie too 🐶

What a day! Captured perfectly by the talented

Thank you to their friend (and mine now!) for introducing us at your wedding when I was your celebrant!

Please note that I am not laughing at Lee’s Grandma. Grandma Pam was about to say the funniest thing and I had seen the speech and knew it was coming!

Matthew and Lee wrote me the most fabulous review!

“We could not have asked for a more lovely Wedding Day, perfectly complemented by our wonderful marriage celebrant Rachel. Rachel has such a warm and calming nature; we felt immediately at ease from our very first meeting over coffee. She took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple. She was always generous with her time, and made the entire process easy and seamless, which was so important with everything else that needed to be organised! Our Ceremony was full of personalised touches, including our own ‘Love Story’ that was written by Rachel (which we heard for the first time on our Wedding Day). The Ceremony was exactly as we had envisaged; intimate, romantic, relaxed and welcoming, with a touch of humour. So many of our guests commented on Rachel’s warm and kind-hearted nature (in fact, the compliments were overflowing!). We can’t thank Rachel enough for her organisation, warmth, kindness and humility, and could not recommend her more highly 🥰” Matthew & Lee

Gabby & Mungo ♥️ Percy & Pippa
I love dogs but I absolutely adore the breed Hungarian Vizsla because I’m a vizsla mum! So when Gabby and Mungo asked me to be their celebrant (because I am a vizsla mum haha) I was pretty chuffed!
Percy and Pippa you two gorgeous pooches I couldn’t help all the photos!
Gabby & Mungo thank you for letting me part of your magical day!! ✨✨

Vicky & Lucas ♥️

Married at in a beautiful, relaxed and chic wedding!

How stunning are these photos from !

Thank you to the gorgeous Vicky for the loveliest review ❤️

"Rachel is incredibly warm, kind, friendly and sensitive. From my first conversation with Rachel on the phone, I knew she was the right celebrant for us. We met Rachel several times in person in the lead up to the big day and she always made time for us - plus connecting over coffee beforehand is a great way to get to know the person who will be marrying you! On the day, Rachel arrived looking lovely and perfectly in-keeping with our wedding colours and theme. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted - fun, humorous and filled with love. Rachel really captured our story and made navigating the ceremony so easy - she was always there to tell us what to do or where to go! I've had so many compliments on the ceremony from family and friends. Thank you, Rachel!"

Amelia ❤️ Robert

Thank you for your beautiful heartfelt words…

“When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we both agreed that finding the right celebrant was one of the most important things to us. We wanted a relaxed ceremony that was light and personal, and we could not have asked for a more perfect celebrant than Rachel.

We had a very intimate wedding with just immediate family, and Rachel did an amazing job at including everyone and making the ceremony both light and incredibly heart-felt which was exactly what we wanted. She is incredibly flexible and can work with anything thrown at her (venue changes due to rain, and our nephew turning the PA system off half way through the ceremony haha). My husband and I loved how she structured the ceremony, and will cherish our couple's story that she wrote for us forever.

Rachel was seriously an absolute dream to work with; she took time to understand us as a couple, listened to our requests that we were sure of, and expertly guided us when we weren't so sure. Rachel really cares about the couples that she works with and we could not recommend her more highly.”

Olivia & Ryan 💚

Are living proof that long distance can work, absence makes the heart grow fonder and when they connected it was for some incredible adventures! They tested the boundaries of relationships and came out winning.
Now to the next step…settling down, wherever that may be!

Congratulations Newlyweds and thanks for having me as part of your magical day!

Thank you to the wonderful for the happy photos 🥰

I seem to have gotten that quote, “keep your mouth shut and your eyes open” the wrong way around!

So many belly laughs with Antonia & Tom.. and they wrote me the most beautiful review:

"We cannot thank Rachel enough for being the kindest, most calming celebrant. Our ceremony was perfect and everything we could ask for. She was so easy to communicate with and nothing was too much. You made our day! "

So lovely getting to know you both ###

Blown away by this review from Despina & Milton ###

“Rachel is incredible! She made us feel so comfortable leading up to our special day. The ceremony was soooo beautiful. She asked us all the right questions (we were completely lost when we first spoke to her haha), she listened to what we wanted and she delivered something very special. Our guests even asked us if she was our friend because of the way she told our story; as if she'd known us for years! Rachel was born to do this. Her smile lights up the room and she brings such great energy. Can't recommend her enough!!!!”

To say I was excited to marry Elycia & Matt was an understatement.. yes they were absolutely lovely.. and funny.. but… and this is clearly evident from my stalker photos they have a gorgeous Vizsla named Archie!

Archie was part of the process from our planning meeting (dog friendly cafe meeting was a must!), right up to arranging the day around him.. well why not when he looked so dapper and was perfectly behaved!

Thanks for the photos (apart from the 🐶 selfies) and lovely to work with you again

I may have mentioned I marry the best people and Emily & Conor are definitely no exception to that.

I may have read their story with some ohh and aww sound effects.

Ryan ❤️ Beck

I’ve been a bit lost on Insta since the floods in Nth NSW and finding it hard to post about weddings.. even though I have married some gems of human beings in this time!

But trust Beck and Ryan to show me some sunshine and happiness (see their lovely gift and sweetest card that made my day).

You know you are in for a emotional wedding when both Mum’s walk in with a packet of tissues in their hands…and it didn’t disappoint! The rain could not stop their beaming faces or us cheering them on!

Congratulations Beck and Ryan ###

Antonia & Tom 💚

On Tom’s families farm at Crabbes Creek we waited until the rain had cleared for a dreamy backdrop of clouds and mist. These two shared with me so many personal stories that we worked into the script. It was natural, lighthearted with just the right balance of sweetness!

Antonia & Tom, to your exciting future together🥰

Tilly & Cam ❤️ married 2021

This is my last wedding of the year to share and it’s a special one to me because I found a little sister soul in Tilly. I think she picked me to start with as we both love horses but we ended up becoming friends, having a ball planning the ceremony together with her Mum Emma too!

I loved her fun, family oriented wedding where we had to mention the missing guests Smithy her horse plus the rest of the four legged gang!

I had so many people come to us saying it was the best wedding they had been to and how lovely you were and the most incredible celebrant they've seen! You made us (or I know for me) so calm on the day I didn't have many nerves surprisingly but you were amazing 🥰
Love the Durham's 💕
