OVERVIEW

I will draw on your personalities and cultures and tell the story of your love with humour and soul, allowing the ceremony to be a reflection of all that you are.

Thank-you for considering me in your search for the right wedding celebrant in Port Douglas. It is a pure joy to be invited into people’s lives to share in their happiest moments and special days. I love weddings and the tradition of paying respect to significant milestones in the form of ceremony

You will have support and freedom while designing wedding vows that capture the story of your love. The memories you create on your wedding day live in your heart through all the years to come. And what you will remember above all else is how you felt as you made your vows to one another…let’s make them special.

Through many years of working in the tourism and wedding industry, I have been privileged to share in the romance and excitement of many weddings and ceremonies. I am a lover of stories and storytelling and am honoured to have the opportunity to bring to life people’s stories, and loves in the form of ceremony.

I'm a huge believer in Love – Love as a universal force. Love is trust and giving each other the freedom to grow. Love is taking the time to look into each other's eyes no matter how busy life gets,…and remembering why you are on this journey together, paddling the wild ocean in the same little boat. Love is never giving up.

Anna was fantastic! She was just really friendly and down to Earth, and was so happy all of the time. She helped us out through the whole time. The ceremony was so fun and relaxed and exactly what we wanted.

Anna was our celebrant and she was just amazing. She took the stress off and ensured the day ran smoothly by engaging us before the ceremony, responding to emails, speaking on the phone and meeting in person for a rehearsal. This demonstrated she wanted the day to be a success as she took on all responsibilities such as communicating and keeping our guests well informed on the schedule of the ceremony. Alot of preparation was done prior to the ceremony where drafts were sent back and forth for amendments and confirmation on what will be spoken in our ceremony. She sent through lots of inspiration for wedding vows and exchange of the rings for us to choose from. On the day of the ceremony, my husband told me that she really went beyond her role as a Celebrant and offered to take on other responsibilities, ie. whatever the GROOMZILLA needed as he was stressing out! During the ceremony, I was extremely nervous with public speaking, and Anna really helped me calm my nerves. We would highly recommend her as your Celebrant, you will feel nothing but love and want that as the start of your journey as husband and wife. Thank you Anna! Mr and Mrs Perna

Anna was phenomenal. She worked with us from day one and allowed us to craft a ceremony that was unique to us. The result was a one-of-a-kind ceremony that we will remember forever. Nothing was too hard for Anna, she went above and beyond in every sense of the word to help our big day run smoothly.

Thank you so much Bonnie. It was such an honour to share in the joy of your wedding day - I loved how involved and passionate you and Jack were about the details of the ceremony and as you said it was truly 'one of a kind'. I will always reflect on your wedding with so much joy and am very thankful that we have stayed in touch after sharing this special process. X

how can we make a mention of same-sex couples and marriage equality in our civil ceremony?

we're not gay ourselves, but our dear friends are and we were wondering if celebrants would be open to making a special mention of it during our ceremony

Anna Soltwedel Marriage Celebrant Port Douglas

Absolutely - and I am right behind you on that! When I discuss this with brides and grooms I usually recommend including a paragraph after speaking the legal definition of marriage in Australia and say something along the lines of;

"While we acknowledge that the previous statement is required by law, we look forward to a time when the law reflects our belief that all loving and consenting couples, regardless of their gender, should have the opportunity and choice to marry in Australia".

Here's to hoping it won't be necessary for much longer :).
