Write the Best Wedding Vows Now -

As a marriage celebrant I believe that personalised vows add a unique element to every ceremony. The words you share from your heart will bring even deeper meaning to your special day and will help to set the container for how you wish your marriage to be, as you step into this next chapter together...

Hello beautiful people! I’d like to invite you to join me on my other page Beautifully Wyld with Shekinah Leigh as I will be closing down this page soon.

I will be doing even more weddings and ceremonies over the coming years, however it feels important for all my work to come under the same umbrella. This allows for more efficiency at my end, and more clarity for ALL my clients. I am looking forward to creating such a beautiful balance of weddings, retreats, events and specialty treatments for both individuals and couples for many years to come.

We will also be launching our new tiny home micro wedding and event venue on February 10th 2024 as well 🤗

Please feel free to message me with any questions at all. I would love to hear from you!

Summer is here and along with it are all the marriage proposals! Congrats to those who have just become engaged 🥳. For those of you who are looking for something non-traditional, even spiritual and alternative, I'm here to put my hand up to be your celebrant 🙋🏼‍♀️

Whether you are after simple and sweet, or epic and wild, I love to hold space for it all! Here are some snippets of a few beautiful weddings that I've done.

Love this! Sometimes us self-employed peeps forget that we are allowed to have safe working conditions too! In all weather. And of course a good celebrant is always endeavoring to create as much comfort as possible for guests, especially when they are waiting in the heat and there are elderly involved. Help us make your day special in all the RIGHT ways. And brides, I know sometimes it’s tricky to be ready on time, but during summer it can be potentially fatal to keep your guests waiting for extended periods of time! So making sure there is shade, water and minimal exposure to the elements are all beautiful ways to make your guests feel like they are a valuable part of your day 💕

🦺 WHS (Wedding Health & Safety) 🦺​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Temperatures are set to soar this weekend in many parts of the country, so this is your reminder that even as a celebrant, you have not just a right, but an *obligation* to a safe workplace.

According to the website:
"In Australia, businesses have the primary duty of care for WHS.
If you’re a person conducting the business or undertaking (PCBU), you must ensure workers’ and others’ health and safety.
That includes if you are a sole trader, self-employed, a partner or you lead a company or organisation. "

Here are some things you might consider to ensure your safety, and the safety of the couple, wedding party and guests in high temperatures:

☀️ Move the ceremony indoors with adequate air conditioning and/or ventilation
☀️ Move the ceremony to the shade
☀️ Keep the guests and wedding party in the shade until just before the ceremony starts
☀️ Shorten the length of the ceremony so guests aren't outside too long
☀️ Insist cold water is readily available to everyone before, after & during the ceremony
☀️ Wear PPE (eg wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen)
☀️ Suggest the wedding party remove excess outerwear (eg groomsmen can take off jackets and vests, or have the bride remove her veil)
☀️ Keep some ice packs in your kit

Heat-related illnesses are serious, even fatal! No one wants to deal with fainting guests or worse, so don't be afraid to demand safe conditions for you and everyone at the wedding.

Do you have any other suggestions for dealing with extremely hot days?

Pulling down the old sweat lodge to make way for the new! There’s a LOT of work that goes on behind the scenes to create the sacred container for these ceremonies. So much alchemy, so much time, some much conscious intention. And then there’s everything we do on the day as well 😅 but that’s a part of the magic and potency, it’s not just slapped together in a few minutes, each ceremony is built upon the last, each one infuses the land with its energy, each participant weaves their sacred medicine into the energy field. And every time is different, but better and deeper and more transformational!

Who’s joining us for this first sweat in the new lodge on Sunday? We’d love to have your divine presence as we anchor in this new container.

PM me for details 🧘🏼‍♀️🔥💦💕

Thank you and for helping to build and co-create ✨

It’s been a LONG time coming! So many postponed weddings, then we got gale force winds and rain, then the reception cancelled on the morning of 😅 so much stress but there was no way these two were not getting married on Friday!

Thanks to BMD Northcliffe Surf Club for taking a last minute ceremony/reception booking!

So I noticed that I couldn’t see or access ALL of my REVIEWS. So there’s so many beautiful words I’ve never even seen or been able to respond to - WTF! If this is happening to you, these ladies have some great ideas. If you’ve ever left me a review and I didn’t respond, it means I can’t see it or access it and the below advise might help us change that!
