New faces around here and not a lot of info about me, so here are a few titbits.

Did anything about me surprise you? And if it did, how much of it was that I have 5 kids πŸ˜‚

Guys - I know you're meant to take a "rebrand" seriously, and know what times are best to post to social media, and all those other things, but I also know I have adhd, (makes me an excellent planner btw), and when I am doing something it has to be now or I will walk into a new room and forget where I was up to on Insta, and futhermore I know the expo is coming up so everything should match before then.

Soooo, I am still "Emily Taylor Cassels - wedding celebrant", but that now falls into

β€’ WEDDINGS ETC β€’

Here to be your,
- celebrant
- MC
- day of coordinator
- wedding planner

Basically ask me to jump, and I'll ask how high.

Obviously, I can't always be all of those things all by myself, all the time, so the cool thing now is that WEDDINGS ETC is now a team! Hire us, and you will get to know the gals too πŸ’›

Things I'm bad at - remembering to post to social media and promote myself.

Things I'm good at - writing a kick ass wedding ceremony (with no AI) and making you both feel comfy and excited about your wedding ceremony.

Come see me!

One thing I'm always going to do, is hold your vows so you can hold hands with the person you love.
Helps you stay grounded in that love while committing your promises to them.

But, between me you and the fencepost, mainly because it keeps you way calmer saying those things outloud.

This wedding was an absolute dream, the sweetest backyard setup, lots of laughs and plenty of tissues for the groom πŸ₯Ή

When you're planning your wedding there are so many vendors to sort through and book and it can be hard to figure out who you want there on your big day.

I am an open book, happy for anyone to slide in my DMs and start figuring out if I am the celebrant for you - but for now, here is a wee bit about what the process will look like if you and I get together to get married πŸ’›

Anything you still want to know or aren't sure I do? Just ask πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

✨️ NEW SERVICE ✨️
WEDDING PLANNER &/OR COORDINATOR

Some of you may know, that back in my past life, I was a project manager, so after some thought I have decided to fuse that aspect of myself in to my celebrant offerings.

What does this mean for you?!
Well - handing over some of that planning stress!

Whether you're looking for someone to coordinate just the rehearsal and the day of i.e., make sure people are in their right places, decor is set up how you want it and packed down by venue closing time and that all vendors have arrived on time, to the right place so the day will run to schedule - I'm ya gal.

Alternatively, if you need someone to help you out right from the get go, to meet with vendors or seek different quotes, help determine and manage (read: stick to) your budget, as well as making sure the big day and everything leading up to it goes to plan - I'm ya gal!

Over the coming days I'll post more deets on the difference in the roles and what the packages will look like so keep your eyes peeled πŸ‘€

Some tips I always give my couples when I am marrying them include:
πŸ’ go slooooooow when placing the ring on your spouse's finger, this allows the best chance for the photographer to capture the moment
πŸ– hold hands if you're nervous to read your vows, their touch will help you to ground yourself
πŸ“œ even for the most relaxed couple, a rehearsal almost always helps the day run smoother, there are so many things you just don't think about, like how long does it take the bride to walk from their arrival vehicle and down the aisle, is the song long enough, does it need to repeat? The list of considerations is loooong and a practice run helps!
🀍 have FUN, this day is one in a million, relax into it, build some fat into your schedule for something to go wrong, so that when it does you can brush it off. Have a laugh, do the things that make you happy so that your whole day is filled with the best memories possible

What are some tips would you give for the wedding day??
