Growing up on a farm, l never imagined one day l would be performing a wedding in a shearing shed not so far away. Yet that was the location chosen for Carmen and Glen’s Country Farm wedding and... it was gorgeous! Sylvania Park is a working Mohair Goat property, 9 Kilometres from Horsham in Western Victoria. It is a great venue if you are looking to have accommodation, ceremony and reception all in a private location. Carmen and Glen stayed overnight in the homestead with family, making for a relaxed weekend. The ceremony it’s self was held in the shearing shed which was tastefully decorated and provided for beautiful rusty photos. Jac, from Jumpin’ Jac Flash in Horsham captured the day and did an amazing job. Highlights of the ceremony were the couple’s youngest son being wheeled in by the junior bridesmaid in a wooden trolley and the sand ceremony which represented that Carmen and Glen were now one is marriage. My favourite words in the ceremony were “they have no illusions of being wealthy just to have enough time to enjoy life and maybe a full night’s sleep”. This sentiment was echoed by many parents in the room, including me!

With their home on the Gold Coast, l was expecting Lisa and Simon to have a casual beach wedding in the warm Queensland sun. Instead they chose a gorgeous Reception venue close to family and friends in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges; Linley Estate. With it's manicured English style gardens and stunning chapel it was the perfect location for their ceremony, photos, reception and accommodation for many guests. Having known the bride for ten years, it was hard for me to hide my excitement (and tears) when Lisa arrived. She looked beautiful and they were both so happy to be surrounded by their friends and family. The words they had chosen throughout the ceremony were personal and unique. A good mix of their history, their present and their future together. It is an honour to be a part of every wedding and especially when it is two friends who's relationship you have watched from the beginning and who are such an important part of your life. Thankfully, Lisa and Simon didn't mind that their Celebrant cried during the ceremony or that she enjoyed the dance floor at the reception. Here is what they had to say: "Gratefully we chose Amber as our Celebrant for our wedding - WOW! The whole day and journey getting there was amazing & we were so thankful we chose and had Amber with her experience, energy, guidance & support. Our ceremony was nothing but beautiful, relaxed, fun and professional yet still personal (Amber even shed a tear for us!) Her time, dedication and professionalism is amazing! I would have absolutely no hesitation in ever recommending Amber as a celebrant for their special day to anyone, anywhere for their wedding (and I know she does travel!) Thanks for everything Amber and making it such the special day it was and life we now have." Call me to discuss your Wedding or Event on 0408813661
Kerrie and Andrew's wedding took place at the beautiful Grange Cleveland Winery, Lancefield in the Macedon Ranges. From the moment l met Kerrie and Andrew, l knew they had found something special in each other and that l was going to enjoy getting them married. They met 6 years ago while they were both on holidays. Their relationship grew from a friendship until one day Andrew ran over the bins, Kerrie's camera took a dive (you had to be there) and they both realised this was it! They decided on an intimate ceremony with their immediate family in a location where everyone could stay, relax and enjoy. The Cleveland Winery was a fantastic choice. The grounds were immaculate, the staff were lovely and there were so many different spots to have your ceremony and photos. The highlight of the ceremony for me was the involvement of Andrew’s three children – the youngest of whom was more nervous than dad and also that their mum’s both signed as witnesses to the marriage. This was the perfect end to a relaxed and romantic afternoon. If you are looking for a fantastic venue where everyone can stay and enjoy good food and wine,
then l highly recommend Cleveland Winery. Call me about your wedding or celebration on 0408813661 The wind blew and the rain threatened as Ximena and Juan exchanged vows on Altona Beach Pier. Ximena and Juan were born in the same town in Colombia. Their mothers are friends but never imagined after all these years their children would find love and settle in Australia. The simple ceremony was witnessed by their two friends, Diego and Luisa, and they all laughed when l attempted to pronounce them "Marido" and "Esposa" and that Juan could, "Puede besar a la novia" After some photos, We headed back to the sheltered park where the sun shone upon them as they signed their certificates. It was an honor to be a part of Ximena and Juan's special day.
A true testament to the fact that whether you exchange vows in front of 200 people in a black tie affair or on your favourite pier with two friends - it has the same feeling, the same love and the same outcome. "Felicidades por tu boda" |
