A beautiful summer day at Waddington’s at Kergunyah surrounded by family and friends was where S & J became husband and wife. Gorgeous gardens, a personal ceremony and personal vows that were just perfect for each other even though one ended with a Star Wars quote and the other with a Star Trek quote - despite this being something that can usually mean a couple is not compatible - this is far from the case! These guys are meant to be together with strong family links and 3 degrees of separation in friendship circles and family histories. A handfasting ceremony with beautifully binding ribbons adorned with charms, completed this ceremony that suited the couple perfectly. They chose to end the ceremony by cutting a cake, covering her Lebanese heritage and his love of Star Wars, for their guests to shout while playing lawn games while photos were taken at the grounds. A bouquet toss straight after the group photo was a great way to set the tone for an fun night ahead! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to stay to see it, but the night really kicked off with a traditional Lebanese drum circle. I can’t wait to see the photos! I loved getting to know these guys from afar only meeting twice in person and Skyping/emailing regularly I was chuffed to be part of such a special day.

This was a personal one for me - I love having the honour of marrying friends, and to officiate at the wedding of the daughter of a colleague who I respect very much, was very special to me! That she became a friend also was even more special. The ceremony was sentimental and sweet, just like the couple D & H, surrounded by family and friends and their gorgeous little girl A. The bridal party filled with family and close friends, and a fun night at the reception that continues the ambience from the ceremony, I was lucky enough to attend and share the night with these beautiful people, and some of my most favourite workmates. This wedding gave me all the feels, thanks for having me x

Wonga Wetlands, even though was predicted to be wet, wet, wet in yet another crazy weather event predicted stayed dry for the nuptials of K & C. A beautifully genuine down to earth couple, who were so lovely to get to know shared a personal ceremony under the trees. The vows were heard with s touch of nerves by the groom and solid and sound by the bride, lots of affectionate and reassuring touches between them throughout, so beautiful 😍 a beautiful day for a couple that deserve all the best in life!

18/12/2019

S & T were married at Brown Brothers Winery in October. There was crazy weather, high winds and storms predicted and the weather had on our toes for a while there, the decision was made to have the ceremony outside amongst the vines and under the gorgeous trees as the couple wanted, the weather shined clear and bright, and was 👌 the bride, absolutely stunning, looking like she just stepped out of a glamour magazine and her girls the same! The groom and lads looked pretty good too! The vows were beautiful, the vibe and atmosphere even better. My favourite, watching the groom not be able to take his eyes of his bride, and the love they share was palpabale. My next equal favourite, their dogs! They were dressed up and absolutely adorable, I was lucky enough to have plenty of snuggles before a lot of guests arrived, that and a cheeky wine and cheese platter shared with my helper - made for a great day!

N & A had an usually cool October wedding at Gypsy Gardens, despite being cold, the warmth and love felt between these two as they read their personal vows to each other’s was real. A, a striking red head looked absolutely divine, and N looked dapper, having a laugh with his groomsmen prior to the ceremony to calm the nerves! The boys had been playing TAG for quite a while, and yep, N got tagged and A got tagged straight after! She quickly realised what happened rolled her eyes, laughed and we continued on with the ceremony 😂 the couple love all things Star Wars and Greys Anatomy, and let me have a little fun with this one, which I loved! Very cool couple, with a bright future, and a busy newlywed period moving into the very first house that they just finished building!
Also they were cows in the paddock so I was happy 🙂

11/12/2019

A & T were married on an absolutely stunning October day surrounded by friends and family at at Splitters Creek Winery. The ceremony was personal, funny and cute - just like the couple, their vows were magic, the best kind of heart and smiles that were perfectly written by each to read to the other. An unspoken memorial candle shone brightly throughout. My favourite part? Dogs! Any wedding with dogs is right up my alley, one stayed close while his mum and dad got married, the other decided to find the dam, go for a swim and come back to tell his mum how much fun he had 😂 lucky mum (the bride!)

A midday wedding under the the prettiest little love heart shaped and beatifully coloured Autumn leaves by the river at Mitta Mitta for J & L. The weather was cool being in the mountains and almost winter, a little drizzly, and made for a lovely intimate ceremony after we came in nice and close to watch a nervous groom and a bride that didn’t stop smiling say their vows, perfectly together and as one 💕 it was short and sweet, and wrapped up nicely for the guests to move up to the pub in the beautiful DIY setup, in the cozy lounge with wood fire heaters ready and waiting for them. A lovely lunchtime reception, topped off be a cake made by the bride’s mum, and from what I heard afterwards, a pretty impressive speeches rapped by the brides tribe. 😂Professional photos by Jess White from Bendigo :)

C & K were wed on a stunning Autumn day in the beautiful Albury Botanic Gardens, in as what would could be as close to a classic English garden wedding for our English groom and beautiful bride. The guests were dressed to the nines, the bride accompanied down the aisle by a close friend singing, that set the tone for a ceremony that was just them. It was funny and sweet, clever and romantic, and filled with just the right amount of sentiment and fun. Which pretty much sums these guys up as people! Ceremony was followed by a reception at Miss Amelie, make up by Felicity Cahill, and photography by Alpha Photography as below. Just 👌

An absolutely picture perfect day for N & J at Tuileries at Rutherglen. A beautiful ceremony with the couples little boy L, absolutely stealing the show walking down the aisle. A sentimental ceremony that had the right amount of simplistic romance in such a beautiful surrounding with autumn coloured vines in the background. Signing upon a wine barrel, keeping it casual, much like the couple themselves, who are 2 of the most genuine, lovely people I have met in a long time. This wasn’t more than evident than when personal circumstances led to me being late for their rehearsal! I was absolutely distraught with myself, and J & N, were so lovely and patient with me, and that truly meant so much to me! I was an hour early for the ceremony though to make sure that didn’t happen again!

J & B were married at a private’s residence in Kiewa. This wedding was a lot of fun, the couples children and nieces and nephews were involved, walking down the aisle and most importantly warming the rings prior to the couple exchanging rings while saying their vows. Lots of laughs, some running commentary by guests and bridal party, and what was sure to be a fantastic night with the couple surrounded by their nearest and dearest. They spent a lot of effort, time and love, along with their families preparing for this day, and I think it was worth every ounce of it!

20/05/2019

A ceremony in amongst the wooded trees was the perfect backdrop for the joining of C & H. A handfasting ceremony was a special part of this ceremony with H’s 2 sons bringing the fasting cords together to formalise this already loved up family unit. This was of course, after the giving away of the bride where the father of the bride was gifted some livestock - toy ones of course 😜 this ceremony reflected the couple at heart with references to old Nordic ways, and family and friends which is very very special to these two. C & H laughed and smiled through tour the thing, getting a little intense when vows were spoken, the emotion being palpable for them. It was very very cool working with these guys, thanks for having me!
Reception at St Ives.

L & K were married on the most beautiful day in March! The weather was perfect, the guests dressed to the nines ready to enjoy what was a beautifully styled and intimate reception following their ceremony under the oak tree at Brown Brothers Winery. The groom, L, was that special kinda confident nervous, he couldn’t take his eyes of his bride from the minute he saw her. K, absolutely gorgeous and glowing with a constant smile on her face. Personalised vows exchanged between them both, with many a tear shed by guests, though these two, as they said their vows to one another, were solid and strong, and it was obvious that the words they spoke to each other were theirs between them for a lifetime.
The ceremony was a beautiful balance of fun and love which is sums up these 2 perfectly!
A life of great adventures awaits this beautiful couple!

👋 it’s been a while!
Life has been hectic for me personally the last few weeks, I’ve been crazy busy with a LOT going on! I’m currently out of town doing some training for my new job (see, I told ya a lot has been happening!) and can’t wait to be home and get back to routine!
I’ll have a designated office day which will allow me to catch up and get some love jobs done, wrap up some lovely couples ceremonies that I’ve been privileged enough to be a part of, and I’m still to perform a few before I hibernate for the winter, and come out again to play when the weather warms and the lovebirds sing again!
I’m making plans and slowly getting it done, in all facets of life, thanks for bearing with me!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for being such an incredible celebrant.

We received so many lovely comments from guests about how they loved learning our story and how personalised it was, so thank you. Also, thank you very much for the goodies you gave us in the envelope - love the hard copy of the ceremony wording and the book is just beautiful!

It's OPD time again!
Most people aren't aware that celebrants are required to undertake compulsory and ongoing professional development in order to maintain our registration.
This usually covers a mandatory topic chosen by the Attorney General's Office, and a few electives. I have been doing this gig for a long time now and this year, like many other years, I'll be doing my OPD through Australian Celebrations Training
So bear with me, while I complete my assessment item and bombard social media with content 😆

What a wedding to end the season with at Brown Brothers Winery at Milawa on Saturday!M & D married under the oak trees in a beautifully intimate ceremony with the groom and his guys looking handsome in grey, and the girls in burgundy with the bride absolutely stunning in a classically beautiful and fitted lace gown that literally had the crowd holding their breath as she walked down the aisle. The groom reacted with some tears and a look of absolute adoration! A personalised ceremony that told their story with some laughs and some heartfelt vows that they wrote for each other made this ceremony 💕
Stunning and filled with vibes of love and family. These guys will have a future filled with all that and more!
