We simply could not have been happier with Abbie as our celebrant. Her warm, personal style made working with her a breeze and meant that we fully trusted her to tell our story on the big day. We are so happy we chose Abbie as our celebrant.

When planning our wedding Alistair and I wanted to ensure we represented ourselves throughout each part of the day, including our ceremony. We were seeking a celebrant that would bring youth, personality, humour and love and Abbie bought all of those things and much more.

Abbie took the time to get to know us not only as a couple but as individuals, what's important to us, what we love about each other, the funny little intricacies of our relationship, the emotional moments and what we value in life.

She was then able to portray all of these elements of what makes us the people and couple we are - we simply couldn't have asked for a more amazing celebrant to be such an important part of our day. We will be forever grateful to Abbie for making us Mr & Mrs xx

Eliza & Alistair

Dear Abbie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us to create such a beautiful and personalised wedding ceremony. Choosing you was one of the best decisions we made. We felt an instant connection with you from our very first meeting.  Your kind words, advice and guidance in the lead up was invaluable. 

It was the happiest day of our lives and we cannot thank you enough for your contribution in making it so.  You delivered with style, warmth and grace. We loved having you by our side.

Abbie embraced my culture and our wishes to represent it throughout the ceremony. Our marriage was a huge celebration of our love and we wouldn’t have mastered it without Abbie, who was calm, able to meet us anytime and anywhere, and fun every step of the way.

Abbie is a great writer and an excellent story teller, who delivered our ceremony with an effervescent and dignified manner.

Plus she is funny, witty, which really sets the tone of the rest of the celebration. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Clare & Troy

Thanks again for being a fantastic celebrant- it was a perfect ceremony, nice & simple with a touch of humour. Thanks also for organising the witnesses. I would highly recommend you to others, particularly those wanting a more modern ceremony.

Nic & Ewan

Abbie was the most perfect celebrant that I cannot recommend enough. She was extremely professional and helpful through our planning and adapted the ceremony to capture our personalities. She was dedicated to getting things right for us and rewrote the ceremony a few times to ensure we were both 100% happy. She even played a key role helping us out with our wedding rehearsal and how the day would run.

It was so refreshing to have a younger fun and vibrant celebrant that reflected the fun and relaxed style wedding we hoped for. She has a natural warmth and friendly nature that comes across in the way she carries and presents herself. No old lady celebrant trying to make bad jokes that you usually see at weddings!!

Claire

Thanks so much for all your work on the day and for this awesome, goofy photo. Everyone said they loved the ceremony, Bede and I certainly did.

Susie & Bede

Right from the first meeting, Abbie was enthusiastic about our marriage & her role in our ceremony. She took the time to ensure the ceremony suited our personalities & made it unique to us.

A wonderful experience from start to finish with a lovely, vibrant yet professional celebrant. Highly Recommended!

A stunning wedding for friends at Stackwood. A beautiful hanging arbour for the backdrop and a heartfelt & humorous vow exchange.

The ceremonies; the Unity Veil, the Unity Cord and the Unity Wedding Coins, are uniquely and traditionally a part of a Filipino wedding.

The Unity Veil

We will lay a veil over you to clothe you together. Let this be a symbol of the faithful love you have for each other.

The Unity Cord

We will place a cord over you. This cord symbolizes an infinite bond of love you share that keeps your relationship strong in the face of adversity, as well as that you both are no longer two, but one in marriage. May this cord remind you to face your life together courageously and to be mutual in support of each other. And, may your love grow stronger and bind you closer together through the years.

Unity Wedding Coins

Abbie: Now let us do an exchange of the coins.

Abbie: Originally, there was an understanding of husband as "bread winner" and wife as "home maker" so the coins were given and received not in a spirit of reciprocity but in a give/take relationship. Nowadays the coins are a reminder of good stewardship for all couples; that they will mutually support each other.

(Instruction: Abbie drops the coins into BEN’s waiting hands.)
