✨ A little surprise is on the way… ✨

Well… this certainly wasn’t in the 2026 business plan!

Our little family is growing, and we couldn’t be more surprised or more grateful to share that we have a new little member joining the Dawes team in November. 💙

For those who know a little of our journey, you’ll know just how unexpected this news was. Our beautiful Violet came to us through IVF, and after being told we would never conceive naturally, finding out that this little miracle had decided to make their own way into our lives was the biggest and most beautiful surprise.

I’ll be wrapping up my last wedding for 2026 at the end of October before taking the summer to spend adjusting to life as a family of 4.

And then, come February 2027, I’ll be back doing what I absolutely love hitching gorgeous humans and telling their love stories. 💍🤍

With our newest little family member joining the chaos, I will be capping the number of weddings I take on throughout 2027 so I can find that sweet spot between being present for my family and still giving every one of my couples the time, energy and love they deserve.

And somehow, incredibly, my 2027 calendar is already sitting at around 80% capacity! 🥹

So if you’ve been thinking about having me there to get you hitched in 2027, now might be the time to get in touch.

For now, I’m soaking up this very unexpected, very exciting new chapter… while continuing to celebrate all of yours.

I’m honestly a bit lost for words with this one… 🥹🔥

Winning #1 Celebrant & MC feels really, really special.

To every couple who trusted me to tell your story, to hold the space, to bring the energy, and to create a ceremony that actually feels like you… thank you.

I never take being part of these moments lightly. Ever.

Married on Double Bay beach, surrounded by their family… a few happy tears, a lot of laughs,
topped off with champagne straight from the bottle and the cheekiest vows for each other.
Honestly, I loved every second of it. Thank you for your beautiful words, it means the world ❤️

Unpopular wedding opinion…you don’t need confetti after your ceremony…

Now I’m a sucker for a big confetti moment, it’s always an incredible way to start the celebrations.

But sometimes it’s just not an option.
And instead of stressing about what you can’t do… we get creative.

These two had a really beautiful bottle waiting for them, so instead of a confetti shot they just popped it, gave it a good swig, and shared their very first married drink.

And I loved it.

It felt relaxed, a little more real and a whole lot of - yeah we just did that!

Now… if you want to absolutely spray it down the aisle? I will 100% hype you up for that too. But these guys didn’t want to waste a drop 😂

But this is your reminder that you don’t have to follow the Pinterest version of an exit.

You just need a moment that feels like you.

I am officially fully booked for 2026.

Truthfully, I’ve been there for a little while...but I’m a complete sucker for weddings.

This year though, I’ve got some pretty big plans bubbling away behind the scenes… and that means I need to properly cap my capacity.

If you’ve already enquired with me recently, don’t worry, your date is absolutely safe.

But as of now, I’m closed for any new 2026 bookings.

I may still open a small number of midweek legals-only ceremonies… but for now, my calendar is full.

And there’s a reason for the cap.

Something new is coming for Sarah Dawes Celebrant… and I genuinely cannot wait to share it with you.

Stay tuned...the first little reveal is very soon.

I always feel a bit lost for words when couples send messages like this.

It’s such a huge thing to be invited into one of the most important moments of someone’s life.

I’m just really grateful to be part of it.
