COME ON LOVERS, LET’S CELEBRATE THE SH*T OUT OF YOU!
I’m Emily (she/her)
Celebrant. Dog Person. Hot Beverage Obsessive. Dedicated to helping lovers create their perfect ceremony.
All too often the ceremony is seen as the boring bit to get out the way before the fun starts. I’m here to show you the ceremony can be the best part of your day. The party starter.
I create boss, super personal, fun, sentimental, beautiful ceremonies written just for you. Ceremonies that everyone from your best mate to your great grandma will love…..sounds good doesn’t it?!
I believe everyone has a unique, kick-ass story to tell. On your wedding day, I’ll make sure your story is an authentic, fun-filled tale that represents you and your vibe perfectly.
While I have a boss sense of humour (well I think so anyway!) and laid back style I do respect the importance of ‘ceremony’. The best ceremonies happen when each person there is fully engaged and present. This magic happens when the words spoken truly reflect you.
Each ceremony is written from scratch, it can be as traditional or modern as you want, balancing humour with sentimental beauty. Perfectly crafted just for you.
Want to get married up a mountain? I’m your girl. On a rock face? No problemo. In a lush wedding venue? Count me in! I’m not only ready, but willing to go the extra mile for you.
It goes without saying but I’m gonna go ahead and shout it from the rooftops, you don’t have to ask here - I’m here for every kind of love, and every kind of relationship. Inclusivity is one of my core values; a ceremony which meets your needs is a human right.
When it comes to a celebrant ceremony there are basically no rules, this can feel a bit overwhelming but that’s where I come in! I work in collaboration with my couples to include only the elements of ceremony which feel right for them. For me, the heart of a ceremony is YOU. Ceremonies over the years have included; group vows, secret ring bearers, a game of rock, paper scissors that included all 120 guests, toasts, shots, sing-a-longs, surprise elements and all kinds! I’ve supported couples who have strong faith in the family to hold a ceremony that makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable. This includes language and not making assumptions. Together we’ll consider what you really want and need from the ceremony.
And trust me, it’s magic.
I can’t tell you how many times people have said, after a ceremony, that it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to!
