Apparently there’s more to me than love stories and “I do’s”… who knew? 😂

So, in the spirit of getting to know the person who might just be standing beside you on one of the biggest days of your life, here are a few things about me you probably won’t find in the ceremony fine print.

🎶 I have a song for just about every situation (and yes, I may spontaneously sing it).
🥐I’m learning French so I can one day take my eldest grandchild, the one who made me a Gam Gam, to France.
🍸 My drink of choice? A very dry G&T.
🎄 And I will happily watch a Christmas movie at ANY time of year. December is a state of mind.

Oh, and I grew up behind the counter of my parents’ general store in Tambo... which probably explains why I’ve always loved chatting to people and hearing their stories.

Now it’s your turn… tell me one random fact about you that I’d never guess. 👇

Your wedding ceremony is NOT the boring bit.

Well… it shouldn’t be.

It’s the bit where you actually get married.

Where your people laugh.

Someone unexpectedly cries.

Something goes slightly off-script.

And for 20-ish minutes, everyone you love is right there with you, completely wrapped up in your story.

That deserves to be more than something you just get through.

Make your ceremony one of the best bits.

Your ceremony doesn’t need more stuff.

It needs more YOU.

It’s easy to think that to make a wedding ceremony memorable, you need to keep adding things.

A reading. A ritual. A special tradition. Another special tradition. Something you saw on Instagram that looked cool…

But more doesn’t necessarily make it more meaningful.

Sometimes it’s the story that has everyone leaning in.

A moment that makes you both laugh and then catches you completely off guard.

A song that means something.

Your kids being beautifully unpredictable.

A look between the two of you that definitely wasn’t in the script.

Or hearing words that sound so much like you that, for a minute, you forget there’s a whole crowd of people watching.

That’s the good stuff.

By all means, bring in the traditions and special touches that genuinely mean something to you.

Just don’t add things because Instagram, Pinterest or your cousin’s wedding made you think a ceremony is supposed to have them.

Give me the two of you, your people, your story and what matters to you.

We’ll make that the ceremony.

Ceremonies that feel like you.

What's in my bag you may wonder?

The short answer? Everything.

The slightly longer answer? Everything I need to get you married… plus everything I might need when someone inevitably says, “You wouldn’t happen to have a…?”

Because being a celebrant is part storyteller, part organiser, part paperwork person, part calm-in-the-chaos human and, apparently, part mobile emergency kit. 😂

There are the obvious things... ceremony notes, legal paperwork, pens, the vows.

And then there’s the just-in-case department.

The things that have absolutely nothing to do with legally marrying two people but somehow become VERY important five minutes before a ceremony starts.

Do I need all of it every single wedding?

Probably not.

Will the one thing I take out of my bag be the exact thing someone desperately needs that day?

Absolutely.

So the moral of the story is: your celebrant is prepared.

And this celebrant? Perhaps aggressively so. 😂

And just like that… spring wedding season is HERE. 💍🌸

The scripts are being written.
Ceremony bags packed, unpacked and packed again.
The PA is charged.
Rehearsals are happening.
Paperwork is checked approximately 47 times.
Kilometres are being clocked up.

And I’ve resumed my seasonal side hustle of obsessively checking the weather forecast like I have some sort of personal influence over it. 😂

This is the behind-the-scenes bit of being a celebrant that you don’t always see.

The preparation. The little details. The conversations. The last-minute changes. The music choices. The nervous texts. And plenty of “don’t worry, I’ve got you” moments.

And then comes one of my absolute favourite parts.

Standing at the front, knowing what’s about to happen before almost everyone else does.

I know who’s about to walk down that aisle.
I know the words that are going to make everyone laugh.
I know the bit that might get them.
And I know all the little surprises tucked into the ceremony.

For a few very special minutes, I get the best seat in the house while it all unfolds. 🤍

So yep, spring wedding season — I’m ready for you.

Let’s get some gorgeous humans married.

Anyone who knows me, knows I have a song for pretty much everything.

I sing in the car. I randomly break into song mid-conversation. One innocent word can trigger a lyric that must be sung immediately.

My family LOVE this about me. Or at least that’s what I choose to believe. 😂

So it probably won’t surprise you that music is one of my favourite parts of creating a wedding ceremony.

Because the right song can change the feeling of a moment before a single word has even been spoken.

It can build the anticipation as everyone waits for you to arrive. Make your people grin because they instantly know why you chose it. Bring back a memory. Settle the nerves.

Or it become one of those songs you hear years later and suddenly, you’re right back there.

And it absolutely doesn’t have to be a traditional “wedding song”.

In fact, I love it even more when it isn’t.

The best ceremony soundtrack is one that sounds like you... your relationship, your memories, your energy and your people.

It’s also why I love choosing a little signature song for the gorgeous couples I share here.

There’s always a song.

And if there isn’t, give me five minutes… I’ll find one. 🎶🤍

Some wedding days just have a really good feeling about them. 🤍

Katie & Aiden’s was one of those.

Relaxed, happy, full of laughter and surrounded by people who were genuinely thrilled to be there.

And then came the family promise to their children.

That got everyone.

Because this day wasn’t only about Katie & Aiden getting married. It was about the family they’ve built together, and taking a moment during their ceremony to put that love and commitment into words.

Sometimes the biggest moment isn’t the kiss, the rings or even the vows.

Sometimes it’s a few simple words that say:

This is us. This is our family. And we choose all of it.

That’s what I love about creating ceremonies. They don’t need to be overly formal or filled with “stuff” to be meaningful.

They just need to feel like you, and make space for what matters most.

Katie & Aiden, it was an absolute pleasure to stand up there with you. Here’s to you and your beautiful little family. 🤍

Dreaming of saying ‘I do’ somewhere extraordinary? 💍🏔️

I was in Queenstown last week and snapped this selfie with The Remarkables as my backdrop and, honestly, it’s hard not to imagine a stunning wedding here!

Snow-capped mountains. Crisp winter air. Views so spectacular they basically take care of the decorating for you.

Whether it’s Queenstown, somewhere across Australia or a destination that means something special to the two of you, your ceremony doesn’t have to happen close to home.

If a destination wedding has been quietly calling your name, consider this your sign.

You bring the love story. I’ll bring the ceremony. 🤍

The dads get me.

It’s one of my favourite things about standing at the front of a wedding ceremony. I get to see the things everyone else might miss.

The dad trying very hard to keep it together.
The look on his face when he sees his son or daughter.
The hug that lasts just that little bit longer.
The proud smile from the front row.

And sometimes, it isn’t Dad.

It’s a stepdad. A grandad. An uncle. A brother. Or simply someone who stepped up, stayed close and became that person.

Weddings have a lovely way of showing us that family isn’t always about titles.

Sometimes it’s just about who has loved you, backed you and been there.

So, on Father’s Day, here’s to the dads, and to all the good humans who have filled that space.

Last week was my birthday week... And apparently I’m now at the age where birthdays come with equal parts cake, ch*****ne and wondering how on earth another year went past that quickly!

But here we are, and life is pretty bloody good.

I get to spend my days meeting brilliant humans, hearing their stories, writing about love, standing beside people on some of the biggest days of their lives… and occasionally telling a room full of people to put their phones away ;-)

Not a bad gig, really.

There’s been plenty of change, plenty of adventures and a whole lot of good stuff packed into this last year.

So, here’s to the next one.

More weddings. More adventures. More belly laughs. More good people.

And definitely more ch*****ne.
