TIME AFTER TIME [CYNDI LAUPER]

“And so today Lauren and Will aren’t walking into marriage – naïve and hopeful – because for almost five years, they’ve chosen each other—through the whirlwind of dating, the leaps into business and the starting of their beautiful family.

They’ve walked through seasons of laughter that left them breathless, seasons of change that stretched them, and seasons of quiet steadiness where love was simply knowing the other was there.

There have been road trips with deep conversation sharing their hopes and dreams for the future, late-nights with Alfie that were made bearable by hand squeezes and teamwork - and the everyday magic of sharing a glass of wine on the deck of their very own home.

And now, after saying “yes” to each other in a million small ways, they’re making it official. Not because they have to, but because they want to—because they’d choose each other, over and over again.

So, in front of the people who’ve cheered them on day in and day out, they’ll promise what they’ve already been living: love that stays, love that grows, love that lasts. “

LIKE YOU [ILLY]

Off the back of Harmony Week celebrated in schools around the country, I wanted to share a little something that underpins everything I do as a celebrant.

INCLUSION
Nine years ago, my (now) husband and I began to plan our wedding. With this, came hours upon hours trawling through social media, pinterest and magazines.

And shockingly (or not really) there was almost NO representation of diversity in the wedding industry. I started to wonder, were people like me not worth celebrating?

While a lot has changed within in the industry since then, this experience has made me appreciate the power of inclusion and diversity in EVERYTHING that we do. An appreciation of the unique little touches that truly do make a wedding.

A bouquet made from blooms reminiscent of grandmother’s garden; a tower of honey jumbles baked by an uncle, in place of a cake; a first dance song pinched from a gig spent starry eyed - hand in hand; and tables named by the places that the couple fell head over heels.

For me, it’s the couples that do things a little differently; the traditional Hindu ceremony in the morning, followed by a saree-laden civil ceremony by twilight; the couple in their 70s that found love when they least expected it; and the burley father tearing up as his son marries the man of his dreams.

It’s the elopements in the ocean and the rave-inspired festival weddings.

But most importantly, it’s representing that fact that love looks a little different for every couple. That the meaning of weddings transcends trends and bucks fads.

So here’s to you, Harmony Day - and for all those small (and big people that’ve been inspired along the way.

STORIES [BOO SEEKA]

Last weekend a guest approached me, asking if by any chance I would’ve been surfing at Dixon Park a couple of years earlier.

A little perplexed, I responded with a yes.

She, a coloured woman, then shared that she sat on the sand watching me - intrigued - because never before in her life had she seen another female POC surfing.

In turn, she had been inspired to start surfing herself. And, in a full circle moment - out surfing, was where she had met the bride from the wedding; who, through shared passion had become one of her closest friends.

For years, she had looked to find me - wanting to share this story, yet at was at this moment, at this wedding where it all came together.

Today, surfing with my daughter (which we’ve done so many times before) hit a little different. You never know the ways that simple actions can have a ripple effect. That by living your passions, you could be inspiring others to do the same.

I don’t know why I’m sharing this story on here… but after the magic of today, I’m feeling incredibly compelled.

Or maybe it’s because I’m a sucker for love and connection in all its beautiful forms.

JUST THE TWO OF US [GROVER WASHINGTON FT BILL WITHERS]

To wedding party, or not to wedding party? THAT is the question.

And honestly, the answer is a purely whatever feels right to you.

But there’s something incredibly special about the intimacy of sharing the ceremony as a duo. Together, witnessing the love and support of all of those that surround you. Their faces; a sea of joy, adoration, giggles and a slight tinge of jealousy.

RUSHING BACK [FLUME FT VERA BLUE]

“And as Sunday (of Splendour in The Grass) night rolled in, and Aleisha and John sat snuggled up on the hill, listening to Flume, John’s mind whirred with euphoria.

Singing and cuddling with her. He wanted to do this, to relive this moment – one of THE BEST, of his ENTIRE life, for the rest of his days.

As they parted ways in Byron, Aleisha had this little inkling – actually – it was more than that. It was an innate knowledge, that despite the fact that she was only 19 – and not quite sure where life was going to take her – it was going to be with John.

That from that minute on, it was almost a given. That one day, they’d be here. Promising to spend the rest of their lives together.”

A picture perfect day at the inimitable with a top tier team.

LOOKING FOR A CELEBRANT?

hey there, I’m Jaya.
[warm. inclusive. authentic.]

I’m here for the laidback lovers; fools in love seeking a charismatic storyteller. If your vibe screams authenticity served in carefully balanced helpings of cheeky humor and lighthearted romance - we should chat!

After wedding 300+ couples, one thing has become so damn clear. No story, no couple and no ceremony will ever be the same.

I take your tales; the highs, the funnies and the genuine moments of ‘wow, we REALLY are made for each other’ - shake it with a healthy serve of lime and tonic - and deliver a warm, approachable and engaging ceremony that has your friends teetering on the edge of their seats.

Laughing one minute, crying the next; swooning from go to WOAH.

And, as the two of you clink your first drinks as a married couple, know that your guests will be grinning from ear-to-ear; mood set, chatter high, ready to celebrate YOU.

2025 - limited capacity.
2026 - books open + filling quickly.

It’s engagement season, baby!

I’M GOOD [DAVID GUETTA X BEBE REXHA]

There’s ABSOLUTELY no humble way to publicly share reviews. BUT they’re also a very powerful marketing tool.

So here’s me - dying a little on the inside - FIG JAMming like there’s no tomorrow.

But I guess it’s not just ME - because real people have said nice things. So it’s kinda on them.
