“APPLAUSE” sign NOT needed 🥳.
We well and truly smashed Jos and Lewis’s big day vibe brief…
“Not boring, super energetic and crazy loved up! We just want to party with the crew that have been right there with us for our whole love story!”
And that energy was present from the get go as we heard the roar from the crowd as the stunning Jocelyn made her entrance! You know the kind of passionate cheer that hasn’t been requested by the celebrant! The real stuff! The good stuff!
If you are after an energetic, excitable vibe…coz not every one is and I totally get that…please know that asking for the energy from your guests is not really my thing, but generating it naturally is!
YOU two bring the vibes! I just help to enhance them!
Their insanely creative videographer, Matt from @wildfirecreative_ who created this awesome vid said it perfectly…
“The kind of day that makes you wish you could hit rewind and do it all over again” 🥳

I didn’t write this post to toot my own horn… Writing it down spins me out a little if I’m honest! 🤔
I put together this post because I wanted to say heartfelt thank you to my incredible couples that not only put their trust in me to marry them, but they love me (and what I do) enough to take the time out of their busy lives to write me the sweetest reviews!
You are all honestly the best! 😘
I am only here doing what I love so frequently because of your kind and generous support!
Honestly if I am having a bad day, reading your beautiful thoughtful reviews and seeing your beaming smiles always picks me up and warms my heart! 🙏

This is the dream... when your pup doesn’t eat (or lose) the wedding rings…am I right 😂! Tips for including your doggo in your big day that I’ve picked up from 100s of real life weddings including adorable pooches:
• Keep it chill for your pup, get your celebrant to ask your guests to keep calm during their part to help with any anxiety they might have.
• Hire a dog wrangler, trust me, they`re worth it! Awesome pros like @idopaws_ and @veilsandtailsau know all the cool tricks, have the BEST treats and they even take your doggo home afterwards so no one has to worry about them or miss out.
• Don`t be a hero, if it`s hot, keep them cool! I know this goes without saying, but I’ve seen a lot and there’s so much going on in your head on your big day, so if it’s a warmer day make sure they have plenty of downtime in the shade + lots of water of course and if in doubt leave them home in the air con on those super hot days.
• Tire them out before the ceremony! Ask your pup escort (pro or not) to arrive about an hour before the ceremony so they can take in all the good sniffs and get the zoomies out before everyone arrives, that way they are calmer during the key parts.
• Keep their role simple, 1-2 jobs max! Ring bearer or snuggles with you two after the kiss or aisle walk then piccies is more than enough for even the most well behaved and ultra trained doggo.
• If all else fails, just take cute pics with them after your first look together or during prep time. 🐶
Hope this helps! Peace out fellow dog lovers 🐾

Legit Hitched by Vicky Flanegan! And you know this little Marriage Celebrant/Interior Designer can’t help but match her paperwork folder/vow card colours to your wedding aesthetic! I have so many colours!
Really…I might actually have a problem 🤔.
Thanks to @hourihan_bookbinding for my gorgeous folders! They look awesome in my couple’s photos!
Second image drop from my epic shoot with @travisandbennystudio ! I couldn’t decide which pics I liked best from this super fun and relaxed session with my mates Trav and Ben so I went with the ones my mum liked best ☺️.
Thank you legends for making me feel and look pretty! Definitely recommend ❤️❤️❤️
Within a couple hours you can expect a reply from me with availability and appropriate package details (I even send a text message to follow up these days just in case that info has gone into my couple’s junk folder) but unfortunately ghosting is at an all time high!
“I am just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her…”
Whoop I mean…I’m just a celebrant sitting in front of a computer asking you to love me…and if I’m not for you I totally get it simply send me (and all your wedding suppliers for that matter) a quick response to say “Thanks we’re thinking about it, we’ll be in contact soon” or “You’re not for us, thanks so much anyway”. We don’t expect an essay explaining anything, just a reply would be awesome…even easier with AI in email these days too.
Thank you 🙏
Gemma + Ty 9.6.25 | Authenticity is key for G & T as they planned their picture-perfect micro wedding at @tipsyhill, complete with edgy all-black attire for the bride, groom, and crew, plus breathtakingly beautiful bouquets crafted by Gemma herself 🤘🏻.
As private individuals, a grand wedding wasn`t their style, so they opted for an intimate, heartfelt ceremony followed by an exclusive dinner with loved ones.
What a magical celebration for two of the loveliest souls you`ll ever meet 🖤.
Cheers to G & T! x

Not lying! I genuinely love what I do! 🫶🏻
After all these years hitching legends, I still wake up on every wedding day feeling super pumped to marry two gorgeous humans that just love each other to bits.
So if you’re looking for a Celebrant who’s more “mate” than “hired pro,” and someone who’s got just the right amount of cheeky banter—without the cringe factor—then I’m your girl.
I’m all about creating a ceremony that’s short, sweet, and full of energy. It’ll be engaging, fun, and professionally run, but most importantly, it’ll be all about you and your love story, not about me.
Your ceremony should set the perfect tone for the epic celebration to follow—something your friends and family will still be talking about for years...for all the right reasons, of course!
No one wants their loved ones checking their watches waiting for Happy Hour. You deserve a ceremony that’s just as incredible as the love you share.
If this sounds like the vibe you’re after, reach out—I can’t wait to chat about your exciting wedding plans!
Thank you thank you @travisandbennystudio for creating this gorgeous little vid to showcase my undying passion for my role as a marriage celebrant! You ROCK! 😘
I truly appreciate the footage of me hitching legends snapped and shared by the always awesome team at @theweddingcreators_ ! Thank you so much 🙏.
Love you all to bits 🥰.
Alex’s wedding (featuring James) 😉 5.5.25 | #meetthekutchers ! God it was a goood day when these two hilarious humans and their cracking tribe got together and celebrated the love A & J share at the beautiful @quincebrook_weddings !
Their love story started 10 years ago when James was working as a bike mechanic in the city and destiny engineered it so that Alex would be working in Sales and Marketing in the building directly above and the admin girls just happened to frequent the same lunch spot as the guys from the bike shop.
Or in James’s own…romantic…words…
“We met where we used to work in the city at the local deli, at the time I was a bit thirsty and I saw a little snack outside the deli. I thought I might give that little pocket rocket a go. Her name was Alex…”
Enter wingman and all round top bloke, Mitch, to bring them together with one very well thought out line…
“Hey you two should hang out…”
Now at this point Alex remembers her first thought being….
“Nah I’m good, he’s a bike guy. Don’t really like that…”
Meanwhile James not being privy to this inner dialogue asked Alex out for dinner anyway.
And Alex declined. But luckily James is a persistent man...
At this point Alex’s outside voice is saying no, but her inside voice is saying…
“Well it can’t hurt…”
And that was the start pf a beautiful love story❤️.
I also got to hang out with @itsbennywylde (as a groomsman this time round) and my kick ass past couples @cassieewebber @casey_____webber annnd @savannah__murrayy and @cmooray !
Alex and James also surround themselves with a stand out team of legendary suppliers:

LIVE! Real wedding ‘Aisle Song’ selections played live in 2024 by some of our favourite local musicians like…
@himandhermusic
@behindtheveilmusic
@masonlloydemusic
@ashgale
@doubletroubleadl
@rhyscoventrymusic
@lucasdaymusic
Maybe it was played on your first date, maybe it was a popular song when you got together and every time it comes on the radio it reminds you of that wonderful time when you were falling in love…but for some reason it doesn’t feel ‘weddingy’ enough…well why don’t you get someone clever to play a lovely version of this key song live?
If it’s in the budget, live music can take the vibes to the next level and I definitely recommend booking your favourite musican in sooner rather than later.
I have gone back through my ceremonies and compiled this (albeit short) list of aisle songs chosen by my real life couples in 2024.
I hope it helps you just a little bit…or at the very least I hope it plants a seed and you start your journey down the endless rabbit hole of options while you sip on a glass of wine and dance on the couch with your fiancé.
Save this post if you are having trouble picking that super important song or talented artist for your special day! 🎶
Or tag your beautiful friend who is putting together music for their big day and I would also love to know what you chose as your aisle song on your beautiful wedding day?
Let’s make it a nice long list in the comments so it helps out future couples!

Jess + Cam 10.5.25 | Their shared love of How I Met Your Mother and Harry Potter are just a couple of the many things that make Jess and Cam a perfect match.
Together, they share not only love, but a whole world of common interests and passions that makes their bond super special.
Whether they’re teaming up for game night, setting off on fun travel adventures, or spending cherished time with each other’s families, there is always good vibes when they are together.
Cam and Jess enjoy a mutual passion for AFL and a love hate relationship with cricket, Cam of course loves it and… well…Jess… but they both do love singing along to their favourite country tunes and frequenting musical theatre productions together.
Their favourite spots - Adelaide, Sydney, and New Zealand- hold special memories, and their shared obsessions were represented as the themes on their reception tables.

What a lovely and thoughtful compliment from a 2 x guest! I don’t know about you, but “one size fits all” never really delivers, does it? It’s often too loose in all the wrong places, leaving us feeling less than great when wearing it. But something that’s your size – or even better, something custom made just for you – can make you feel like a million bucks, your absolute best self!
So, why wouldn’t you want that same feeling for your wedding ceremony? One of my main goals is to really get to know my couples, to the point where I feel more like a friend than just a “hired pro.” This beautiful compliment from a guest, who’s now attended two weddings I’ve had the privilege of being a part of, really warmed my heart. It reassures me that I’m on the right track with what I strive to do! 🥰
Em + Nev 5.4.25 | When I asked these two bright positive souls what they love most about each other they said…
Emily…
• I love the way Nev exudes joy and happiness wherever he goes- His fun and playful energy is the perfect balance to my often very serious nature, bringing lightness and laughter into every moment.
• He loves and cares so deeply- I know that he would do anything for our family to thrive and be safe.
• And lastly but very importantly I love that I still just want to spend as much time as I possibly can with him, whether that be enjoyed a lazy day or adventuring, I truly can’t get enough of him annnd we are also in agreeance on future baby names - bonus!
Nev:
• I love that Em’s kindness, love and support is abundant no matter what external stresses and situations we have going on in our lives.
• She has this unique ability to make any activity we do together so much fun- it could be anything.... For example, and I know she will disagree, I don’t actually like going grocery shopping as much as she thinks I do. It’s just because I have so much fun when we do it together.
• I cherish our lazy Saturdays just relaxing together in bed, before one of us finally gets up to make the coffees, followed by a walk with the doggos, which gives us time to really catch up after our busy week.
• But mostly I love that Emily is the one person that I truly feel myself with, she makes me feel truly at home in her presence.
Utterly gorgeous! 🥰
Just like them and their stunning day at @lotonehundred almost a month ago now!
Congratulations.@emilysmith1 and Nev ! It was honestly a treat getting to know you both and telling your beautiful story ❤️.

Experience means calmness and intuition ✨Regardless of what might be going on in my head! Rest assured I got you! I understand the gig, the timelines and can preempt pretty much any situation thrown my way which means I’ve taken care of anything that could be an issue usually before you’ve even had a chance to think of it.
But on the outside…no one would ever know!
Industry pros…anything you’d add? “I’ve picked my wedgie?…check!” 😂
Thanks to @timewithalex.co for capturing me pre-ceremony at @themanorbasketrange in the zone! 🤔
