What an absolute dream it was to have the honour of marrying my gorgeous friend Morgan to the love of his life, Daniel.

From the moment the first guest walked into the ceremony space there was a quite yet ever present buzz. Like everyone was just bursting with anticipation to witness these two declare their love for each other.

Reciting their love story was a breeze as we all paused in the teary eyed moments, balanced out with the perfect amount of belly laughs.

Now we get to reminisce on all of the amazing news captured beautifully by the incredibly talented

Yes, this is a thing. I can be there throughout the process in the lead to and on your day, to ensure all legals and logistics are covered. ✔️

But I’ll leave the story telling to your favourite person to smash it out of the park, as pictured here. 🙌🏼

Can you feel the love?
Silly question.

Gorgeous snaps by from Marlee and Tom’s day. We kept it fuss free, with focus on a natural, breezy ceremony full of the best bits from their love story so far.

Hey there 👋🏼

If you’ve stumbled across my page in the Instagram rabbit hole that is wedding planning, welcome!

I’m Gab and I really love this job. 🥰

My vibe is friendly, confident and warm.

Couples that tend to resonate towards me are those who want a ceremony that feels relaxed, meaningful and personalised.

I do this gig as a part time passion while balancing my corporate job and mumming my little girl. 💜

I’m super organised and make sure you feel supported and guided through the whole lead up to and on your day, so you feel relaxed, excited and know that “gab’s got us”. 👌🏼

My fee includes travel to your venue and I also throw in the cost (and life admin effort) of ordering your official marriage certificate post wedding (needed if you want to change your surname to a married name). 💌

I love to do weddings around Melbourne, on the Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley. 🚗

Anyway, enough about me. ☺️

I’d love to hear from you and your fiancé, chat about your day and see if I’m the perfect celebrant for you. 🥰

Feel free to send me an enquiry via my website form or simply DM me and we will take it from there.🤳🏼

Can’t wait to hear from you!💫

I made the switch 🔁

The switch from reading your ceremony off a kindle to now a beautiful, binded, cream A5 folder from 📔👌🏼

It’s giving ink to paper, traditional formalities.
It’s also giving ‘gabby has no more anxious thoughts about the kindle battery dying or getting overheated and conking out on me mid ceremony’ which is also great. 😅

I don’t consider this job hard.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s alot of work involved.

But I find that the “work” is to do with flexing my EQ, not my IQ.

Yes, in order to be a good celebrant you should have a flare for writing, presenting, being organised and of course being legally competent.

But, the emotional intelligence component is what, I believe, is the difference between a good celebrant and a great celebrant.

It’s picking up on the sometimes subtle cues provided to you about the couple, their relationship, their family dynamics and the tone they’d like portrayed on their day.

From the moment you arrive at the venue it’s stepping into helpful, efficient, friendly, thinking on your feet, working productively with other vendors and always, ALWAYS keeping the couple and their experience on their special day top of mind.

Yes, it can be exhausting at the end of the day (especially for an extroverted introvert like myself). But I’m so grateful to be given this opportunity to practice these skills in such a beautiful, impactful, meaningful way. 💫

AND THAT’S ME FOR TWENTY TWENTY-THREE! 💞

A year of me finding my celebrant groove again after having Sofia. Trying to figure out how to balance new Mumma life and this incredible job. 🎤

Not taking on too many weddings was the best decision for me, to make sure I was able to give my best to my beautiful couples.

Thank you to all who allowed me to play such a special role in your day. It’s been such a privilege to get to know and tell your love stories. 📖

Bring on 2024! I have a feeling it’s going to be incredible. 💫

NOTE: ✏️

🤍 The sooner you complete your Couples Questionnaires, the more time I have to think through and write your beautiful love story (ie. the sooner the better).

🤍You’re welcome to send me your draft vows when you’re ready and I’ll be happy to review them or assist where necessary.

🤍With the exception of my end of Dec and start of Jan weddings, I can’t promise super speedy replies on emails over the Chrissy period, thanks for your understanding.

Sing out if you have any questions, as always.

Merry Christmas lovers! 💫😘

X Gab

The kindest of words from newlyweds Tenille and Ross 💫

“From the moment we met with Gabrielle we didn’t hesitate to place our total trust in her ability to lead us through the marriage process.

Her calm and gentle presence instilled us with such confidence that everything would fall into place for our day - and it did, in large part to her.

I feel like wedding ceremony’s are often a formality of the day, a check box, before there party begins- however, our ceremony was constantly complimented throughout our day as personable, romantic and the perfect way to start our marriage. For us, it was our favourite part of the day.

We will be forever grateful for the gift that is Gabrielle- we will genuinely miss our back and forth correspondence and meetings as we feel like we have found a wonderful friend in her. We would not hesitate for a second in recommending Gab for your special day.

Thank you Gab for everything. Xx”

✨Shelby and Henry ✨

Our tale begins in 2015. Henry had just returned to Swinburne University after a refreshing summer break in his hometown of Hamilton. On the fateful night that would change the trajectory of both their lives, Henry, despite his exhaustion, found himself persuaded (or rather, physically dragged) by friends to join a gathering. This gathering would lead to the dance floor of Lucky Coq on Chapel Street. 🕺🏻🍻

Enter Shelby. As Henry would recall, she was “a very tall, very pretty, very blonde, blue-eyed girl.” Shelby, having just wrapped up her shift at Hooked fish and chips on Glenferrie Road, had also reluctantly decided to join the party. That night, as their paths crossed amidst dancing and music, destiny was set into motion. 🪩 💫

While they danced in a group on the sticky dancefloor, Henry fondly remembers how he couldn’t help but remind Shelby, with every gap in the music, how good she looked. While Shelby remembers thinking “Wow, this guy really likes hair gel!” His hair was sky-high! Shelby found Henry’s approach both dorky and endearing and admired his genuine interest in getting to know her. 💃🏽❤️🕺🏻

Their playful banter evolved into shared drinks, and by the end of the night, they were discussing their preferred coffees, setting the stage for their first date the very next day. ☕️ 🥰

🤍BEC & TROY🤍

It all began at the South Melbourne Fire Station. 🚒 Amidst sirens and hoses, in a place built to douse flames, their first glance sparked the kind of fire that couldn’t be put out. 👀❤️‍🔥🔥

You see, Bec was there imparting her knowledge on emergency medical response, and while hard at work, a curious head peeked from behind a computer monitor: Troy, introducing himself with a smile. 👨🏻‍💻😊

Troy, charmed by Bec’s radiant energy, and Bec, drawn to Troy’s genuine kindness, soon found themselves chatting back and forth online. 🤳🏼

But the spark💥wasn’t truly ignited until their memorable first date to the romantic location of…Gravity Zone! ⚡️

The date was complete with basketball dunks 🏀 and Bec’s unexpected neck injury. However, this setback was merely a prelude to a love story written in the stars. ✨

Know a couple that have been married for a while?🙌🏼 Let’s celebrate their love with a vow renewal ceremony! 💍 My new package is all about taking a moment to acknowledge all that they have been through together with a refreshed set of vows, because they deserve it!❤️ Life’s too short. Let’s make some memories and celebrate the good stuff. You won’t regret it, I promise you. 🙏🏼 Perhaps suggest it at tonight’s Sunday dinner to your parents and show them this video, I’ll then wait by the phone for their call😄🙋🏻‍♀️ #vowshelp #vowrenewalceremony #vowrenewalcanberra #marriagemaker #commitmentceremony #ceremonylocationcanberra #canberramarriagecelebrant #canberracelebrant

Our first dance💫 Once we chose our first dance song (Someone like You by Van Morrison) we realised we needed some help to teach us some basic slow dance moves (enter the wonderful @thenextstepco_ ) That’s us, in our Melbourne apartment practicing our steps🕺🏻. On the day we ended up just having fun with it, screwed up a couple of times and laughed our way through it, it was awesome.✨ #nailedit #firstdance #weddingfirstdance #someonelikeyou

2022 IS GONNA BE A BIGGY! I’m super pumped for all of it💪🏼 For those 2022 enquires that I’ve been unable to fulfil, please know it breaks my heart to respond with bad news. 😩 But old mate 2022 calendar is this(👌🏼) close to jumping through the screen to slap me across the face if I take on anymore hitching in peak season😅 #canberramarriagecelebrant #canberracelebrant #youngcelebrant #canberraweddings #2022weddingseason

A ceremony script is unlike a usual piece of writing. It doesn’t have to have perfect grammar but it does have to feel natural, tell a story, have structure and flow when spoken. 📖 Once I’ve had a good crack at writing a draft of your ceremony I then spend some time reading it out loud, just like on the day, to make sure it feels smooth and not clunky. I then make tweaks here and there until it feels good. 📝 Really looking forward to reading this one to my couple for the first time on their special day! 🤍 Happy Friday Everyone ☀️ #ceremonywriting #canberraweddings #canberramarriagecelebrant

How To Write Your Wedding Vows ✏️
How To Write Your Wedding Vows ✏️

HOW TO WRITE YOUR WEDDING VOWS ✏️ While you’re completing your Couples Questionnaire start to make some notes about what you’d like to include in your vows (as you’ll be feeling all the loved up vibes in that moment).🖊 There are no rules as to how to write your vows. However here’s a suggested structure you can follow: 1. Open with how you’re feeling in the moment about to be married to your person. Or perhaps open with how you knew this person was different from all the rest when you first met.😍 2. Continue with why you love them so much. What they have taught you. What they do to make you feel loved. 🥰 3. Decide on five promises you want to make to them. Perhaps 3 serious/romantic and 2 in there that are a bit more lighthearted 😉 4. Finish with what your hopes are for your future together and how ready/excited you are for it all.🤩 I hope this is helpful for you. I’m here for you guys if you need any help 🙋🏻‍♀️❤️ #vowwriting #vowwritingtips #canberraweddings #canberramarriagecelebrant #canberracelebrant
