Out of Office ✨ 22 Dec ~ 6 Jan.
2024 oh what a year!! I am still in shock that it’s the end of the year. This year has felt like the quickest year of my life whilst also there have been times that seemed to drag forever.
My personal life was one hell of a rollercoaster with lots of great days and moments and some truly challenging ones too! I’m looking forward to creating my life by design in 2025 because as we know “nothing changes if nothing changes.”
When it comes to being Alix the Celebrant it was another glorious year of helping gorgeous couples get married!
56 couples to be exact and 34 of those were weekday weddings (which has got me thinking of some exciting changes for this business of mine)
I feel forever grateful to all my couples who trust me to be their celebrant, I never take the privilege of being a the one to help you marry your person for granted 😘
I’m so proud of everything I’ve achieved this year including a kickass industry part that my pal Matthew and I hosted and I can’t wait to bring to life all our ideas in 2025!
I’m wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season; may it be filled with lots of love, relaxation, time in nature, laughter, adventures, good food and a whole fun!
Big love from me to you ###

Let’s talk about… your wedding party and where they should/could stand on your wedding day.
This is a personal choice and will be different for every couple and there is no right or wrong! “You do you” as they say. However, I like to be the “permission giver” when it comes to my couples and doing things differently.
There are many options for where your wedding party can stand/sit during your ceremony but the main 3 options I see are:
1. The wedding party stands at the front with the couple getting married on the same side as their friend getting married - for example if there is a bride and groom, the bridesmaids stand in a row next to the bride and the groomsmen stand in a row next to the groom.
2. The wedding party stand at the front but the opposite side to their friend getting married.
- for example if their are two brides named Sarah and Kate and they have 3 besties in their wedding party, Sarah’s crew stand on Kates side and Kates crew stand on Sarah’s side. This means that your crew see your face during the ceremony and can witness all your emotions.
3. The wedding party sits with the other guests (which is what I talk about in this reel) I would have your wedding party enter the ceremony as normal, I’d speak through the introduction/welcome and then ask for a round of applause for your wedding party who would then sit with the guests.
Lots of couples choose this option as it means you get some photos with your wedding party and then they can sit and watch the ceremony, taking it all in without looking at the back of your head 🙊 you wedding party could join at the end of the ceremony to follow you down the aisle as well.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you’d do for your wedding 👇🏼
