Can we just talk about dogs for a minute?

I just bloody love these animals. I’ve been doing quite a few funerals recently where, when I’ve visited the loved ones of the person who has passed, they have dogs in the house.

And these animals just know that the person grieving needs extra love. An unofficial ‘emotional support animal’ if you will.

I know my own two puppies, Queenie and Lucy, give me so much. They are my constant companions when I’m working from home, checking in on me, ensuring I take a minute or two away from my computer to give them a pat and tell them that they are my world.

I know not everyone loves these animals, but to me, dogs are my favourite. Just the kindest, funniest, bestest (and a bit smelly) things around.

Dogs rock… right?

Why should only brides get to wear nice things at weddings?

Dan had his jacket custom made, incorporating images from his life with Meredith together, including travel, music, drinks and lotsa love.

Unfortunately I don’t know who made this jacket, but more than happy to give credit if anyone can enlighten me.

I like to be 100% transparent about my fees because:

a) I don’t want to waste anyone’s time if I’m out of budget, and

b) I hate talking about finances when meeting with a potential couple

So here there are, in black and white (and pink, purple, green and orange).

I know I’m not the cheapest around, but I’m also super experienced (13 years, 750+ weddings).

However, my mentoring is affordable for those celebrants who need it. I do this more for love than for money.

My fees are also published on my website, so head on over (link in bio) if you’d like more info.

KIM ❤️ IAN

Sometimes the most powerful of weddings are the simplest.

In their backyard, Kim and Ian, surrounded by their closest people and their kids, had a rockstar ceremony.

The next 10 days, are huge for me. Three funerals, six weddings, two MCing gigs, three meetings with new couples, two birthday get-togethers, and a helluva lot of admin.

So, if I’m a little slower than usual to get back to you, this is why. I promise you I will though. I’m good like that.

Oh, and I’m not complaining about being busy. May was quiet, so I’m raring to get back into it!

Worried about crying on your wedding day?

Here’s some tips to help, but I’ve got to say, I love a crier! To me, it’s a genuine emotion presenting itself, and if you can’t show your emotions on your wedding day, when can you?

What do you think?

Want an alternative to a guest book at your wedding?

I loved Georgie and Alek’s tablecloth they asked guests to sign, including instructions not to draw a specific anatomical part of the male species.

Look no further!!! My husband and I got married recently and we couldn’t be happier to have had Roxy as our celebrant!

Right from the get-go, Roxy was friendly, warm, authentic, and so easy to work with. She was flexible, experienced, and so full of ideas, so it was great getting the chance to work with her and collaborate together on how we wanted our wedding ceremony to look and feel!

When she delivered the ceremony, she was expert at balancing genuine and meaningful moments with funny moments, without making it “The Roxy Comedy Show”.

She was supportive, both before and after the wedding ceremony, and we really trusted her skill and expertise as a celebrant. The reflective prep/guides she gave us were so helpful and insightful, and helped us to write the vows we wanted to have and share with all of our friends and family.

Lastly, this might not have been a consideration but it will be now - she DOESN’T have an annoying voice! Hahaha.

Thank you Roxy. We are so grateful for your part in our wedding.

A QUESTION FOR CELEBRANTS AND WEDDING INDUSTRY PEOPLE.

In the past couple of years, since I gained my CertIV in Training and Assessing, I’ve been delivering workshops, both for and independently here in Australia and internationally.

These have included:

⭐️ Social Media Scavenger Hunt - content included basic understanding of social media, how to promote yourself when you are the ‘product’, and interactive session of taking photos to promote yourself

⭐️ Celebranting in The Real World - content included how to deliver a wedding ceremony (including a mock ceremony), warm up guests, placement of PA system, professional headshots, q+a session

⭐️ How To Stand Out in a Crowded Market - content included making sure you’re banging the basics when it comes to marketing yourself on-line

⭐️ Canva for Beginners - content included basic Canva training for those who aren’t familiar with this package

⭐️ Smashing Socials - How to Sell Your Authentic Self - content included how to speak to your potential customers with an authentic voice

⭐️ Branding and Bonding - content included branding basics, creating a branding board, headshots, drinks and nibbles

So, my question to you, wedding industry friends, is what workshops would you like to see delivered? I’m realising that this is something I’m super passionate about, and I want to do more of, so if you have a need, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Comment below please and thank you.

I was scrolling through my photos this morning and came across this one of Katlyn and Mekka. I married them back in April last year, then MC’d their reception and I can’t for the life of me remember why they have number plates around their necks.

I know someone was doing a speech, and it was a joke that related to it, but the details of that speech… well I’m coming up blank.

So, guesses below? What could it possibly have been? Maybe someone might have an idea which will trigger my memory bank!

I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll say it again: I work with the best couples!

When I recently put a post up requesting photos from weddings I’d done, two of my couples, way back from a time when COVID meant weddings looked very different, contacted me with theirs.

So blinkin’ kind of them, and so lovely for me to be able to revisit their day.

Thank you Libby and Michael, and Stacey and Al. I love you (in a non-creepy way). X

Alongside we’re hosting a Branding and Bonding workshop, which includes headshots for a bunch of amazing celebrants, and I know how relaxed Kirsty makes me feel in front of the camera, so I hope they feel the same. She has been doing my headshots for years now, plus when I work with her at a wedding, she always makes my ceremonies that little bit more magical.

Can’t wait to see the following celebrants there:

Catherine and Sam chose my Sweet Yet Simple package when they married, and I’m often asked ‘What’s the difference between this and the Full Works package?’

Two things:

1. The Sweet Yet Simple is about 20 minutes, with the Full Works about 30.

2. The Sweet Yet Simple doesn’t include Your Story.

That’s pretty much it. Both ceremonies are fun, with some gravitas. Both ceremonies are engaging. Both ceremonies can include personalised vows. Both ceremonies get you married.

Always happy to talk couples through the difference in packages so they can make an informed choice about what they want.

It’s all down to personal preference.

MAY I ASK A FAVOUR?

As those within the wedding industry know, this year is a bit of a tough one. Belts are being tightened, and couples are having to economise with their wedding plans. Knock on effect is that this year is quieter with bookings for me. So, I’m asking a favour… pretty please, no pressure, please and thank you…

Last night I did something nice, unusual, different with my lovely friend - hosted a Kath and Kim appreciation party

I know this has nothing to do with Celebrancy or weddings, but I just wanted to boast about it because it was amazing and Han deserves a huge round of applause for her authentic Kath Day-Knight impression.

Also, massive thanks to Banyo Bowls Club for allowing us to give it a go.

Feeling a bit dusty today though…

Today I read back on a couple of my early scripts, expecting to cringe at my writing skills, and was actually… well… pleasantly surprised.

They weren’t the best, but they certainly weren’t as bad as I thought they might be.

This year I’ve been doing a lot of funerals - more than any other year. It’s not a side of my business that I promote heavily here, because… well, it’s not the kind of thing people search Instagram for, right? But I do have some celebrant friends who want to get into this, and as are soon holding an in-person event in Brisbane, this seemed timely.

Emily and Brendan, rolling the dice to see who goes first when it comes to saying their vows.

Their wedding was super creative, because Emily and Brendan are super creative people. Every element, from a handfasting with cat5 cables to making their arbour, was lovingly made by them and thought about carefully. Even better, it took place in where they spend time working on their projects.

A truly unique and fab wedding.

Yes… time for me to say it. I love my job.

These two chose to have their wedding ceremony fairly private, with those closest to them watching on, followed by a larger celebration the next day, and I am so very here for people doing this.

There’s so many reasons why this idea is appealing, and it’s something which is becoming more popular. What do you think?

Lovely to work with the super talented photographer again

Christie and Aaron had the epitome of a ‘laid-back’ wedding. No stress, no fuss, but a whole lotta love and fun.

Not all weddings have to be stressful. Really, when you think about it, all you need is a celebrant and two witnesses (oh, and your partner). The rest… well, it’s nice to have, but you don’t have to have it.
