Danika Maree - Civil Celebrant

✨ REVIEWS ✨

I receive many beautiful messages from my couples following their ceremony, explaining how grateful they are for my contribution to their day, and it truly makes my day! Along with compliments from guests at the ceremony - thank you if you have ever been one to pull me up! Honestly, if I don’t receive feedback following a ceremony, I wonder if I didn’t do a good job 😅

Being a small business that relies heavily on worth of mouth, these reviews help immensely when they are visible to other couples looking for a celebrant. So if I have had the pleasure of marrying you, and you could spare a couple of minutes to write a review either on Google or my Facebook profile, I would be so so grateful.

And to all of those that already have, thank you! ♥️♥️

I have never actually cried at a wedding ceremony.. but when Kate was escorted down the aisle, first by her dad and then handed over to her sons to walk her the rest of the way to her hubby-to-be, I very nearly balled my eyes out! Having two sons myself, this pulled at my heart strings. Watching Kate melt as her boys so proudly walked alongside her was one of the most special moments I’ve ever witnessed.

Kate and Todd’s relationship is sweet, genuine and FUN! What a treat it was to be a part of their day.

My June calendar so far.

A quieter month for weddings. Particularly with only four Saturdays in June.

This month’s weddings have me in Bundaberg twice and Hervey Bay for the other ☺️

If the thought of standing up in front of 100 people terrifies you or maybe you just can’t justify spending $30k on a wedding, eloping might be the way to go. Skip the lame registry office though (unless boring and forgettable is what you’re after). We can have a short and sweet ceremony (at an affordable price) at a venue, a park, your back yard, heck even your dinner table if that’s what you’d like. You just need two witnesses, yourselves and a celebrant 🙋‍♀️ Then you can celebrate however you like!

If this sounds like something that might interest you, reach out!

What a DREAM! 😍
Not only was malenymanor one of my bucket list venues, but Dylan and Samantha were one of the most in love couples I’ve ever met. Not to mention two of the sweetest human beings! The way they light up in each other’s presence or simply when you mention their partner’s name is so beautiful. Their relationship is overflowing with respect, appreciation and adoration for one another. I couldn’t agree more that they have found their ‘soulmate’.

Thank you for the privilege Mr & Mrs White 🤍

Meeting at a club when our groom was just 16!.. Nathan had the confidence to ask a stunning 19 year old Emma for a kiss. Unaware that he was underage, Emma was quickly won over by his charm and the pair moved in together a month later!

Hearing how quickly their relationship started, I was very surprised to hear how long it has taken them to tie the knot. Although moving states, starting a family, a business and building their dream home has had them a little busy.

So with their two gorgeous daughters as their flower girls, an elegant all black dress code for their guests, and the weather gods on our side, we had a beautiful ceremony at arkarragardens_ in Dundowran.

Mr & Mrs Lamont ✨

Two of the sweetest people you’ve ever met living their fairytale life. Meeting at uni, finishing their studies together, moving town, building a home, and now getting married! These pair are such genuine, lovely human beings that are so in love with each other and the beautiful life they’re building for themselves. It was such an honour to be a part of their perfect day 🤍

Gosh I am so behind in posting.. the last three weeks with a newborn have been BUSY! Whilst juggling a toddler, a newborn and recovering postpartum, I have so far had the pleasure of marrying six incredible couples!

I need to give a shout out to my incredible husband for really stepping in these last few weeks so that I could manage it all. I have a habit of taking on a lot because I like a challenge and I love what I do, and he is the one at home making it all possible, supporting me always, and sometimes shaking his head 😅😘

Back to one wedding a week for a while now 😮‍💨

Stay tuned while I get up to date posting all my newlyweds! ♥️

Mr & Mrs Bosel ✨

From the moment they met, Brett & Sian knew they had found the person they wanted to do life with.
The respect, adoration and appreciation for each other that these pair have is of a level most people dream of.
With their six beautiful children as their bridal party, a stunning venue at bluegumstation, and a group of guests that were just as excited for their marriage as they were, this wedding ceremony was a dream! 😍🥰
