It’s time to reintroduce myself 👋🏻 I’m Kelly Hayes, and I’ve been creating love-filled ceremonies since May 2020.
I started out as Ms. Matrimony, but as the seasons changed and love stories evolved, so did I. Now, I proudly step into the spotlight under my own name – Kelly Hayes. It’s a testament to the growth, experience, and professionalism that have blossomed over the years.
In this new chapter, I bring a fresh energy – a “new year, new me” vibe – to celebrate your unique love story. Crafting personal narratives as distinct as each couple is my forte. Your story is the centrepiece, and your ceremony will be one that reflects your journey, quirks, and shared dreams.
One of my proudest achievements is turning ceremonies into cherished memories. I often find myself asked, “How long have you known the couple?” It warms my heart to know that my storytelling creates a connection so genuine that it feels like I’ve been a part of your lives for years.
My secret? A natural and engaging public speaking manner that keeps you and your guests captivated. Laughter, joy, and heartfelt emotions are the ingredients I blend to make your ceremony truly exceptional.
Your wedding day is a celebration of love, and I consider it an honour to be your celebrant, the storyteller, and a friend who stands by your side as you say, “I do.” I’m excited for this new chapter of my business and immensely proud of everything that for me here.

Today my bestie & I played tourists in Sydney doing a Mystery picnic around the Rocks & Barangaroo area. You work out clues to find your destinations to pick up each picnic item before finally ending up in a scenic spot to chill out & enjoy the delicious foods! Highly recommend this experience, there are many areas you can do them too!
It has been a big week of anniversaries which included Eb & Angus’s epic country wedding at Boxgrove on 14th May.
Captured so incredibly by the oh so talented @kacieherd & a day that turned out to more than any of us bargained for but one that made me so proud to be apart of such an epic vendor team. Congrats on one year married lovers 🤎🤍

Getting married on a weekday instead of a weekend can have several benefits, including:
👉🏼Cost savings: Venues, vendors, and other wedding services often have lower rates on weekdays compared to weekends. This can result in significant savings, especially if you’re on a tight budget.
👉🏼Availability: Popular wedding venues and vendors can be booked up years in advance for weekend weddings. However, they may have more availability on weekdays, giving you a better chance of booking your preferred options.
👉🏼Intimacy: A weekday wedding may have a more intimate feel, as you’ll likely have a smaller guest list due to people’s work and school schedules. This can create a more relaxed and personal atmosphere for your special day.
👉🏼Flexibility: With fewer scheduling conflicts, you may have more flexibility in terms of ceremony and reception timing. This can allow you to create a wedding day timeline that works best for you and your guests.
👉🏼Unique experience: A weekday wedding is less common than a weekend wedding, which can make it a more unique and memorable experience for you and your guests.
Of course, there are some potential drawbacks to getting married on a weekday as well. For example, some guests may not be able to take time off work or school to attend, and you may need to take time off yourself to plan and execute the wedding. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons and make the decision that works best for you and your partner.

Happy 1st wedding anniversary Jodie & Andy xx
On this day last year, after covid postponements I flew to Port Macquarie to secretly marry my cousin Jodie to her man Andy. With just their 2 best mates as witnesses, we went to their favourite lighthouse on a beautiful sunny day. The nuptials were kept under wrap until Jodie’s 50th birthday party months later where they played the wedding video to all the guests as they cut the cut. A massive surprise for all including my Mum who sent me a barrage of messages when she saw me in the video - sorry Mum but I take my job very seriously 🤫 A very special day indeed 🤍

Your first dance doesn’t have to be an elaborate, choreographed routine if that’s just not you. You can take it as a few moments to reconnect after a huge day, just to hold one another & say “we did it! We’re married!”
I’m just a few short seconds here you can see what an intimate moment this was between Bernadette & Brandon.
