Welcome to the Blog

Chances are if you are reading this, congratulations are in order. If you are newly engaged you are probably feeling the love and bursting with enthusiasm for all thing’s weddings. If you are midway through planning your wedding you have probably realised that wedding planning can be exciting, stressful, anxiety inducing, joy filled, frustrating and fun. Sometimes all on the same day! But do not fear, I am here to make the process more enjoyable while also making it less stressful at the same time.

I became a marriage celebrant in 2017 which equates to more than 300 weddings (and counting). I think it is fair to say that I have seen a thing or two. As a celebrant I enjoy prime position to observe what works as well as some of the potential pitfalls. Through these blog posts I want to share some of those learnings with you.

But one thing you won’t need me for is realising that after getting engaged everyone has an opinion and will offer advice, whether asked to or not. These blog posts are not meant to be like that. I invite you to take what you want and leave the rest. Every one of my couples would tell you that my highest priority is that your wedding ceremony celebrates and reflects you, so please only take with you what resonates and leave the rest for someone else.

I get it… Planning your wedding can be exhausting and wonderful and stressful… But trust me it will be worth it in the end.

Your celebrant,

Mel x
