Out of Office! Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has come. I am off on my first overseas trip in years, and I will be unavailable as I will be living it up across the USA and Canada with my mum. I am taking time off to not answer emails and relax- I need the break. I am back on Tuesday 4th June and will answer emails upon my return. Thanks everyone!

Happy 1st anniversary to this beautiful couple- Natalie and Tony! Such a beautiful day at Peterson House, and not a dry eye in the house especially when the groom starts choking up during his vows. It was so sweet and romantic. Loved dealing with them both, and all the best for a wonderful day you two xx

The last wedding I had in 2023! The stage was set on New Years Eve in Kincumber- a surprise wedding for C and J, and my beautiful colleague at Toastmasters Kirsty was performing the ceremony for her dear friend, and I was there for support- and all the legal stuff! It was just a pleasure and lots of fun dodging questions on who I was. Would do it over again in a heartbeat! 💗 If you want to surprise your guests like this, give me a call and let’s create your dream ceremony!!

So I was looking back through my posts for the business, and I love making my business all about my couples…afterall, that’s why I do what I do. I do think though it might be time for me to introduce myself…

So, hello there and welcome to the wonderful mind of Helena…prepare to be dazzled, amazed and…ok yeah I won’t be my own hype woman just yet!

I’m Helena, I live on the northern end of the Central Coast in NSW, and love it here.

I have a full time job with a bank as a learning manager/trainer, and I adore that work.

I am a comic book fan/nerd- so I love Marvel, DC and my favourite character is Deadpool! I love going to comic cons and meeting some of my favourite actors/actresses, and having a bit of fun.

I love animals, especially dogs- I used to have 2 but they sadly passed in 2022.

I love speaking, therefore you will see me at Toastmasters as often as I can get there to hone my techniques for wedding ceremonies, MC gigs and so much more.

I am a wedding celebrant because I ❤️ helping couples on the biggest days of their lives- I feel so honoured to be a part of it.

So that’s a little bit about me! Thanks for reading 🩷

19/11/2023

Happy Celebrants Day! To all my beautiful colleagues who thrive on making our couples big day the best- you are all amazing. Thank you for all that you do and all that you are ❤️

Kate and Jason! On Saturday this weekend past- 4th November, I got to marry this lovely couple. So sweet, and easy going. We had fun! The scene was set at Stonehurst Cedar Creek, such a beautiful venue. The rain held off just long enough for the ceremony and a few photos afterwards! It was a wonderful day. Thanks to Kate and Jason for the honour of being your celebrant xx

31/10/2023

Emily and Chay!! On 26/10/2023, I got to marry this beautiful couple 😍 Back at one of my favourite venues- Peterson House- this was a gorgeous wedding. I’ve shed a few tears recently, and had to hold back on this one too. Despite the rain, a wonderful day and congratulations again to Chay and Emily!

22/10/2023

On this day one week ago- Sunday the 15th October- I had the privilege of marrying one of the most gorgeous couples you could ever hope to meet. Chelsea and Lucas ❤️ What an amazing wedding! I was their celebrant and MC and it was the most fun I have had i anges. So much so, I didn’t get around too many photos until later in the night. These two are ! Thank you for honouring me with your day and night, and congratulations again to you both!

Last Saturday, the 14th October, the stage was set at Pullman Magenta Shores for a beautiful wedding…Emily and Dan! The bride looked gorgeous, and the groom was looking quite dapper also! We had a great time despite the heat, and i feel privileged to have had the honour of marrying this beautiful couple. Congratulations again Em and Dan!

03/10/2023

This beautiful couple were married slightly over a year ago now, and I had a fun time at their ceremony. Their wedding was held at Ben Ean- one of the most gorgeous venues in the Hunter Valley- and the beauty of the venue is matched by this couple. They were ready to be married and I enjoyed working with them. Congratulations Jake and Jasmine on reaching one year wahoooo!!! I hope you have many more beautiful memories to make together in your years as a married couple. Happy Anniversary!

This was a gorgeous wedding for a wonderful couple. I was so enthralled with the wedding that I forgot to take photos. It was THAT good. The bride wore a gorgeous black wedding dress, and the venue was the Apollo International at Charlestown. The venue was magnificent. I will need to get some actual photos very soon off the photographer. We had laughs, we had tears, and all went well. An amazing time was had by all!

28/09/2023

August 24th!! This is the date I had the privilege of marrying this beautiful couple, Patrick and Elisha at Bimbadgen! I forgot to take lots of photos, so only have a few myself. The day was wonderful and the ceremony went smoothly. Three of the awesome vendors on the day I would highly recommend- Bimbadgen Estate, 96weddingco and Jennifer Burch Photography. So easy to work with and made everything flow so nicely! We had a lot of fun, and these two lovebirds are now officially Mr and Mrs! Congratulations to you both again- I had such a wonderful journey with you xx
