Ceremonies by Camille - Camille Abbott, Adelaide Marriage Celebrant

Some ceremonies are not a 'yell it from the rooftops' type of occasion.

Sometimes they are unassuming, quiet and sure. Good-natured, earnest and warm. 🥰

This was the flavour and intention for Micaela and Heath's wedding at Mount Lofty House in March.

A midweek celebration with elegance and class as captured by Simon Bills Photography. 👌

When you don't want a "wedding" wedding.
Just 5 or 6 of your people.

But also want it to be stylish AF with a stunning aesthetic, and not to be rushed; if you want to feel comfortable and relaxed too, then book Emily from The Modern Approach.

Reece and Natasha did just that at the idyllic Marybank Estate and I was lucky enough to create and conduct their wedding ceremony for them.

We had bagpipes, laughs, tears and lots of champagne and it was bloody incredible, to be honest.

Simple, romantic and meaningful for Chloe and Ethan meant keeping their wedding true to their values starting with their ceremony under the magic tree in Burbrook Forest, Kuitpo.

Friends of 4 other couples I've married over the years, Connie and Joe stand up for each other and what they believe in and, in general, are just a bloody pleasure to be around. So I felt honoured when they booked me to conduct their wedding ceremony over a year ago.

Little did I realise at the time that:
1) they would shortly welcome their beautiful boy, Patrick, to their family,
2) Joe in his capacity as a podiatrist would cure my excruciating plantar fasciitis, and
3) they would also be the 1000th couple who I've ever married.

An incredibly special and happy day for everyone connected to them for sure. And I heard that their reception was pretty wild too.

Congrats Mr & Mrs Keain! xx

Good info for those couples looking to book in a photobooth for their wedding. 👏

Photo booth hire reviews - don't hire a photo booth without reading plenty of the company's reviews so you feel 100% confident.

"Love is like a beautiful flower,
but it can also be dangerous
like a tiger
with a gun."
Louise Belcher - age 9.

When an engaged couple gives of themselves and are a little vulnerable, a little honest, a little silly and ALL themselves, their wedding literally can't go wrong - even if the Father of the Bride's phone rings during the ceremony. 😅

Thank you Tess and Tony for trusting me. I had the THE most wonderful time working with you, creating and then conducting your quirky turkey ceremony.

A HUGE thank you especially to the newlywed couples who voted for me, but also to my wedding vendor mates, podcast listeners, fam & friends!! 🥰

To come home from our Japan trip to receive this acknowledgement of my celebrant work was incredible. 🥹

15 years, almost 1000 ceremonies and still going strong! 💪😝

Much love,
Camille x.

Early in the new year can be a great time to get some admin/organisation tasks crossed off your list.

Many of my couples take a few hours during the Summer to sort out their name stage after getting married.

But tbh it can get a bit time consuming and a pain in the ass if you don't know how to start or what the process is.

This is why I wrote this post complete with links and the prices for both DIY and 'done for you' options:

Hey beautiful human,

Whether your a couple I've married, about to marry, a vendor colleague, friend, fam or stalker, wherever you are and however you're at, I'd like to wish you a very prosperous, healthy and happy festive season.

Thank you for being part of my world and here's hoping that 2024 brings a little more peace to the world.

Much love, Camille x.

I'm not sure if you know, but in my spare time (between podcasting, promoting wedding vendors, running a directory and developing an app) I'm also a marriage celebrant. 😄

I'm so incredibly proud of the squad who cleaned up at the SA awards last night. 💪

But I'm also pretty thrilled to have had my celebrant services recognised with a 99.97% rating from my incredible couples which earned me the runner up honour. 🥈

Thank you to every single one of you! 😘

Congrats to .homestead

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you for being involved in our big day. You were so easy to work with and we knew from that first meeting you were just a great fit for us!

I think these pics sum it all up but you just made us feel so at ease through the whole process and most importantly on the day (including the nervous excited tears at the altar that turned into laughter in an instant 😊). Your help was invaluable! And couldn’t recommend you highly enough." - Kathleen & Jarrad

This 2023 state finalist achievement will be my 17th ABIA award and I wanted to thank you.

Your support and encouragement means a lot to me.

Much love 🥰

Don't let anyone convince you for a second that you have to invite 100+ people to your wedding or you'll regret it. 🖕

For those who choose and want to do that, it's wonderful! 💃

But equally, a pared back, relaxed Friday arvo soiree with 20 of your closest fam and friends, can be absolutely amazing as well. 🥰

Way to make a girl feel special on her birthday month! 🥰

Huge hugs, sloppy kisses and your cheque's in the mail to all my legendary newlywed couples who took the time to review my celebrant services over the last few weeks.

You are what makes this gig such a wild and wonderful ride - THANK YOU!

When winter comes around, I've found that it's a great opportunity to count my blessings and plan for the next season, so I have many more in the future.

Georgie and Liam dance to the beat of their own drum.
They are expressive, enthusiastic and smart people.
They don't suffer fools easily, but will always help a loved one in need.
They are my kind of people and I'm thrilled they think I'm one of theirs too.

"Camille, we can't thank you enough for helping us to create the ceremony of our dreams. It was perfectly 'us' - it was fun, relaxed, modern, romantic and a true reflection of our personalities.

I first saw Camille at another wedding and knew that she was my ideal celebrant. Liam and I were both over the moon when we found out she was available for our chosen wedding date.

Camille's way of working with her clients is truly unique and made the process simple and straightforward.

If you have the opportunity to work with Camille - jump at it! Her services are worth every dollar and then some!"

I received this review last night and just had to share it:

"In the flurry of wedding preparations, the role of a marriage celebrant is sometimes underestimated. I reckon choosing the right one can be the difference between a forgettable ceremony and one that imprints itself into the memory of every attendee. I am happy to affirm that Camille belonged to the latter category, a remarkable individual whose relaxed authentic style elevated our ceremony to an unforgettable celebration of love and inclusivity.

Camille’s unique ability to ground us amidst the anxiety of the entire wedding process was a feat worth highlighting. Displaying an exceptional balance between professionalism and warmth, she was adept at managing the spectrum of emotions that flowed on our pre-wedding day. Her soothing presence and authenticity in handling our concerns made things that little bit easier (still not easy 😉). She guided us gracefully through the complexities of the big day.

Finding the right celebrant – we sought someone who could deliver a light-hearted, fun, and yet deeply meaningful ceremony – is pretty important. In this regard, Camille surpassed our expectations. Her skill in setting the tone for the rest of our celebration was amazing. The joyous atmosphere she cultivated during the ceremony seamlessly transitioned into our ensuing reception, making the entire day a cohesive and unforgettable shindig. Huge thanks Camille!!!"
