A Model Bride

They don't come much better than this! Barb and Ben had a lovely ceremony in February. They were so relaxed about everything and were a joy to deal with. After they arrived together and I went to meet them before they entered, I said to Barb's mother that she looked like a model, to which her Mum responded "She was a model"!

The atmosphere for the ceremony was wonderful, enhanced by Barb's family all coming from Canada for the event.

I first met Barb in her role as Events and Marketing Manager for Deckhouse -

I love this photo - it was taken just before they walked into the ceremony.

Surprise wedding

I have conducted many surprise weddings over the years and they are always great fun, but they don't come much better than Jade & Nick's ceremony recently. They had gathered guests on the pretence of an Engagement Party. Only the parents and a couple of others were aware of the situation. Just received this gorgeous photo and lovely email from the couple:

We wanted to let you know how fantastic our wedding day was. The day certainly needed you to take charge – I was nervous about how we could pull the surprise wedding off – and thankfully you took the microphone away from me right when I started crying and took charge – the first words you spoke will never leave my mind!

We had the most wonderful day and can’t thankyou enough. A friend of mine says she works with you a lot – Laura Brown from Frolic Events – she says you’re the best celebrant she’s worked with and we can vouch that’s true!

Hope you are well, and hope we run into you at another wedding soon,
Jade and Nick

Working with professionals

This is a photo of a really lovely couple who were married in the Royal Botanic Gardens recently. Tracey and Glenn were great to work with on their ceremony. It was a perfect afternoon and all went very smoothly. This of course was helped by the great professional wedding suppliers I worked with on the day. The photographer was Ronny Berg from Creek Street Photography www.creekstreet.com.au

I have worked alongside Ronny for many years now and it is always a pleasure. He is so professional and you hardly know he is there. There were a few couples at the wedding who had used him for their own wedding photography, so always a good sign.

The event decorator was Laura Brown, who owns Frolic Events - www.frolicevents.com.au

I first met Laura years ago when she was an Events Manager for a wedding venue. Laura is such a lovely person and has a great eye for design. The signing table she offers is the best in the business. She had also set up a table with bottles of cold water for the guests.........even that looked stunning!
