I enjoy meeting new couples and giving them a day they dream of. On the wedding day I calm brides, apply button hole flowers, hold glasses of bubbles during photoshoots, make faces for kids so they smile in group photos! I pass messages between couples, reassure couples the other is there and ready to marry them, coz you know they are!! I can also cue the music, provide tissues and divert audience gazes. I want you both to have everything you want on our day, you want it, lets do it! I am a Great Southern Wedding Celebrant, based in Denmark WA and will travel just about anywhere for a wedding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1558333878894-FH2UC0CR0WQDWRB0Y6FD/DSC_1940+%28800x531%29.jpg FEES & ABOUT ME - Links Marriage Act 1961 Guidelines on the Marriage Act 1961 There is a celebrant code called the Code of Practice, all celebrants must abide by these avenues of professionalism.

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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1493202000893-MV4RWZG4SZB5Q2W7BFZ2/Eliza+%26+Alistair.jpg Celebrant Denmark, WA and Albany, Great Southern weddings - Eliza & Alistair 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 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1493201315006-775M1JFOYF6U1UB9LHET/DSC_0531+%283%29.jpg Celebrant Denmark, WA and Albany, Great Southern weddings - Fiona & James 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. Fee & James https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1574132946577-IYMRYH044J1AX1Y9HF13/DSC_0137.JPG Celebrant Denmark, WA and Albany, Great Southern weddings - Josh & Omar 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1493201577568-JDHVD391J1A5RYSBBGIZ/thumb_C%26T_0692_1024+%282%29.jpg Celebrant Denmark, WA and Albany, Great Southern weddings - Clare & Troy 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 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1493199877381-3Y4GA6V9YT1ZRVFY1KBM/image+11+%282%29.jpg Celebrant Denmark, WA and Albany, Great Southern weddings - Nicole & Ewan 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 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1493200651472-TC51OM71QGFGOQ80C2FY/Walls_412.jpg Celebrant Denmark, WA and Albany, Great Southern weddings - Claire & Rob 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 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1493201197856-DIOC96GFZIA8BSWSG3LL/DSC_0513+%283%29.jpg Celebrant Denmark, WA and Albany, Great Southern weddings - Susie & Bede Thanks so much for all your work on the day and for this awesome, goofy photo.

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.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1458971854965-17EZJ5V9B0DLB2NF5HKS/DSC_0717.JPG Celebrant Denmark, WA and Albany, Great Southern weddings https://www.abbiecelebrant.com/fees daily 0.75 2020-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1560837667919-L4AUJKKI9SXL0RRSXKD5/Elise%2BDonnie-302.jpg FEES - EMERALD The Emerald Ceremony https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1560837667919-L4AUJKKI9SXL0RRSXKD5/Elise%2BDonnie-302.jpg FEES - EMERALD The Emerald Ceremony https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1560836090594-PH0FBPSDZXLRPMJJDGWQ/RyanScottWEB+%28357%29.jpg FEES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1560837284684-RXF9Q462H37UPPYCM8DT/J%2BB-16.jpg FEES https://www.abbiecelebrant.com/gallery daily 0.75 2023-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1692602361760-GU6FBKRPM3NMBF74JCD4/IMG_1255.JPG GALLERY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1692599588113-HLLUJ08A0LHDDOEIYVVW/314ALISTAIR%26ELIZAWED+%281024x698%29.jpg GALLERY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1692601436060-BMI2MQS13BPTEL2US6K4/image+%281024x683%29.jpg GALLERY https://www.abbiecelebrant.com/blog-forte daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.abbiecelebrant.com/blog-forte/2013/9/20/txj2xx0v8z4pvfqifnkoy769mmbn42-f6hp2 monthly 0.5 2013-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51e6b9c9e4b050adffbe392c/1380134615402-CFVY7DVKTKAMMEUVAFO1/matthias-9.jpg Blog - Summer in Berlin https://www.abbiecelebrant.com/blog-forte/2013/9/20/new-pictures-from-ost-e2m49 monthly 0.5 2013-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51e6b9c9e4b050adffbe392c/1380134654074-6RTKOL9KFWBAWGH3VPE7/matthias-37.jpg Blog - New pictures from OST https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51e6b9c9e4b050adffbe392c/1380134646426-64MT50GT4WHEMZO7KWS7/matthias-32.jpg Blog - New pictures from OST https://www.abbiecelebrant.com/blog-forte/2013/9/20/spektrum-eins-64cer monthly 0.5 2013-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51e6b9c9e4b050adffbe392c/1379717056328-V2KWLVQHSC7P88IH3ONL/2b7eb3dfa76e21de1166f115214b7f0f.jpg Blog - Spektrum Eins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51e6b9c9e4b050adffbe392c/1379716817226-TY7FDC8KWGYC9G4GHIZT/b01f9e30717d1d163677777ab34ab1dc.jpg Blog - Spektrum Eins Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing. https://www.abbiecelebrant.com/blog-forte/category/Exploring monthly 0.5 https://www.abbiecelebrant.com/cover-page daily 0.75 2020-02-26 https://www.abbiecelebrant.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53a0de5ae4b033a62778c810/1558333326297-9PDYHNM4S8NSRGUTVS7A/fb2.jpg CONTACT
