5 YEARS// Aaron & Casey’s wedding wasn’t just a ceremony, it was an immersion in love, culture, and Country.

We began where the walk to Koorawatha Falls starts, after a bumpy 4WD through flooded riverbeds. In the bush, around a fire, Uncle Harry “Yaari” Lambshead Welcomed us to Wiradjuri Country in language, his clapping sticks calling out across the trees. From the distance, voices answered, the sound of friends from singing and chanting as they approached through the bush in ceremonial dress and ochre body paint.

The welcome dance that followed was breathtaking, moving, powerful, and deeply intimate. We added our sticks to the fire, walked through the smoke of the smoking ceremony led by Aunty Enid Clarke and Uncle Yarri and felt ourselves truly connected to the land we stood on.

Then came the walk to the falls. Rain soaking us, puddles splashing, the roar of water growing louder. At the base, with the falls thundering behind them, Aaron & Casey promised their forever.

Five years on, I still carry the goosebumps from that day. ✨

LOVE ACTUALLY MOMENT 🎤 // When planning my sister's ceremony, she said she wanted a "Love Actually" moment.

Well, I couldn't give her spontaneous musicians playing "All You Need is Love", but before she was declared as married, a few pre-selected loved ones stood and shared some encouraging words of advice for her marriage.

Unique and creative ceremonies, always!

WHERE HAVE I BEEN? 👀🫣// Some of you may have noticed that I went a little MIA for a couple of years. So where have I been?! The answer is that I took a step back from being a celebrant so I could focus on my infertility journey!

After a few years of trying to conceive naturally, in 2023 my husband and I turned to fertility treatment and finally IVF ICSI.

💉 From 16 follicles, to 12 eggs collected in surgery and fertilised, to only 4 embryos surviving. After having two miscarriages and a final double embryo tranfer, 1 in those 4 embryos stuck and is now the greatest gift of our lives - Bindi!

🧬 I am so thankful for the science and technology that made our beautiful girl possible. All the appointments, injections, ultrasounds, countless blood tests, miscarriages, seeing loved ones get pregnant around me, a cool 30k... it was all worth it!

⚠️ BUT YOU BETTER BELIEVE that I'm back in full force in 2026 and am still open for a few bookings for the rest of this year!!

BRING IT ON! 🥳

UNIQUE 🪑 // Break tradition and norms! Have your wedding your way!

You don't have to have your guests sitting in rows in front of you. Tara and Tristan had their loved ones surrounding them in a circle.

What's something unique that you loved at a wedding?

CELEBRANT CHATGPT 🖱⌨️// Sure, anyone can plonk in a love story into ChatGPT and ask it to write a marriage ceremony, but want pops out on the other side will just be words.

Only a real person (and a talented person at that) can know how to vibe check, change their tone of voice, inflection, and energy to create a memorable experience that fits the couple!

If you're tempted to grab your mum's best friend to be your celebrant and enlist ChatGPT to write the ceremony, I beg of you not to, because artificial intelligence simply can't produce what's happening in this photo.

PRIDE MONTH 🏳️‍🌈 // Almost three years ago, I was touching down at Canberra Airport after having spent two of the most memorable weeks of my life in New Orleans and New York City.

In New Orleans, where a pride flag waved on almost every street. Where the first gay bar in America opened. Where I visited Mardi Gras World. Where I bought my first pair of rainbow earrings.

In New York, where Stonewall revolutionalised the world. Where parks for gay liberation are built. Where Broadway spills out onto the street. Where crossings are lit up in rainbow.

The energy. The joy. The Pride.

On the flight home, the sky encircled me in rainbows as I travelled home and into the arms of my husband.

Almost three years ago, I chose to live as my full q***r self - thanks, America 😉.

Happy Pride Month to all 🏳️‍🌈🌈

WORDS FROM FRIENDS // I love including messages from loved ones in my ceremonies. They're a wonderful way to make the ceremony more personal, and to honour special loved ones.

Often these inclusions are heartfelt and serious, but they can also be fantastically funny!

I particularly loved Ryan's addition to Kieran ans Mitch's ceremont when he said "you put the rainbow in Rude Rainbow. You are the embodiment of a rainbow, a dispersion of light shining on those around them. Your joy, positivity, cheer, radiance, and utter homosexuality cannot be avoided. And it’s beautiful."

OPEN FOR BUSSINESS ❗️ // While I have a new baby keeping me busy this year, I'm excited to get things back on track in 2026!!

Last week I had a zoom call with my first couple for 2026 and dang it felt good!

2026, let's go!

WORDS || Weddings are incredible, yeah? They are a time to express love, celebrate with loved ones, reconnect, they're just great! ⁣⁣🎉
⁣⁣
The thing is though, despite how fantastical weddings can be, they don't make you married. Your words are what make you married. Not my words, not exchanging your wedding rings, not even singing the marriage certificates. When you speak your legal vows to one another, you are speaking your marriage into existence. Your words are what counts, on your wedding day, and into the future.⁣🖊

NGUNAWAL LANGUAGE 🖤💛♥️ // Last weekend I was honoured to participate in Ngunawal language workshop led by Ngunawal Custodian Tyronne Bell.

In this workshop, I learnt how to say an Acknowledgement of Country in the Ngunawal language!

Tyronne and his son Jai were gracious enough to also assist me in making sure that my pronunciation of other Ngunawal words that I use in my ceremonies are correct.

I huge dhjan yimaba (thank you) to you both and to for organising this workshop.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ // Words cannot describe how grateful we are for Annie and how perfect she was for our wedding!

From the moment we came across Annie and first met her, we knew she was going to be the best person to marry us. Through her infectious positive vibes and friendly nature, she made us feel completely at ease and really listened and understood what we wanted for our ceremony as well as also giving us lots of ideas to think about. She was always available for us to contact her with any questions, and the resources she provided us were phenomenal. Her website/ portal was super useful and stepped us through the whole process.

On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond to check in with us and made sure all the guests felt relaxed, included, and ready.

The ceremony itself showed her true talents, and she absolutely shined. She beautifully weaved heartfelt and personal moments throughout while also keeping the vibes fun and relaxed, which is exactly what we wanted.
If you are looking for someone to marry you, we highly recommend choosing Annie as you will not be disappointed!

Thank you so much Annie for everything!!

BYE 2024 👋 // Today was my last wedding of 2024, and what a way to end!

I shared so many laughs with Bek and Jackson today. With surprise quotes from their fav TV show and movie, and a scissors paper rock show down, this ceremony was so much fun!

It ended in a movie worthy moment with a flock of birds flying RIGHT behind us just as Bek and Jackson shared in their first kiss as a married couple! 🕊

Sharer of Stories and Maker of Marriages

I’m Annie, a young, bespoke, and values-based civil marriage celebrant in Canberra and I hope you have room in your life for a new best friend, because I want in!

It’s quite incredible that you’ve found someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, and I think that’s worth celebrating in a way that’s 100% you! After all, your story is unique and filled with funny, romantic, and even embarrassing stories. Let’s share and celebrate them in a relaxed and natural way that will leave everyone in stitches laughing, “that’s so them!”

I don’t tolerate awkwardness, that’s not fun for your guests, and especially not for you! That’s why I like to dig deep, and not through a long-winded timely questionnaire, but by spending time with you.

Tell me the stories of how you got your nicknames. Let me laugh with you about your quirks that drive each other up the wall. Your ceremony is a time to share and celebrate just how awesome you are together. I write from scratch, inspired by and in collaboration with you and your stories!
