On Thursday I had the pleasure of MCing the Ballina Shire Meals on Wheels Client Christmas Party . It was such a beautiful day filled with good food, heartfelt conversations and some very talented performances. A real celebration of community and the year that’s been.

Meals on Wheels is such a vital service, delivering nutritious meals to those who can’t easily prepare their own, and offering social connection and activities that make an enormous difference to the wellbeing of older and vulnerable people in our community.

I have such fond memories of joining my Nanna on her Meals on Wheels deliveries during the school holidays, so it feels incredibly special to be able to give back as a volunteer now.

The Ballina team are wonderful — hardworking, compassionate and deeply committed to the people they support. It was a joy to spend the day with them and celebrate the incredible work they do all year round.

Hello! You know me as a celebrant and MC, but alongside weddings I also work as a funeral director and end-of-life educator.

This week I’ve launched something very close to my heart: 🎙 The D Word podcast.

It’s about pulling back the curtain on death and dying — offering calm, practical conversations to help families, carers, and healthcare workers feel more prepared, supported, and less alone.

If you’d like to follow along, I’d love your support. You can listen on Spotify, Apple, or Amazon (links in bio .podcast).

Today is my little mate Fern’s 7th birthday 🐶! So in her honour, here are my top tips for including your furry family members in your wedding day.

ONE: have your florist make a little arrangement for their collar, or order them a cute outfit from Etsy

TWO: ensure their minder knows the exact cue to bring them forward with the rings to maximise their time in the spotlight, and to ensure you get the best photos of their moment

THREE: skip the ceremony it it’s too much for them and have them at the photo shoot, where there’s less people and less stress

With me as your celebrant, you have exclusive access to the login section of my website where you’ll find an extensive guide for ensuring your pets are included and comfortable on your wedding day. Plus many more guides on things like choosing music, preparing kids and maximising time on the dance floor!

If you’re looking for a wedding celebrant & MC on the Northern Rivers, get in touch. I’d love to help make your wedding day dreams come true.

Love, Rachel x
