BeeTogether Celebrant
OVERVIEW
Have you ever met someone where you felt at ease? Where the conversation flowed naturally and buzzed with ideas? Well, that's me! I take the time to get to know you, so when it comes to writing up your ceremony, it feels like I am writing a ceremony for friends I have known for years.
What's my vibe? I like to consider myself fashionably coordinated or at least colourful, with a hint of puns for good measure and a good storyteller too. And don't spare the juicy details for me (no, really, it adds sparks to the script).
I love the scripting part because I love words, and how they carry meaning and influence our emotions and I love the sudden rush of inspiration of expressions to use in your script. I've been known to turn your love story into a poem. And don't worry about your guests getting fidgety, waiting for the ceremony to end. The ceremonies I create are one of the best parts of the wedding. I take the time to carefully craft every word of your ceremony until it is perfect, so you always know you are in safe hands, and it reflects who you both are effortlessly.
Google review:
"Gabrielle is an absolute gem. From the moment we met with her, my husband and I felt so taken care of. Gabrielle's genuine love of love shone through and we felt that she was sincerely excited to be a part of our marriage. Gabrielle was thorough and took every step imaginable to ensure the lead up and the ceremony was a smooth process, and she adapted very well to our last minute wet weather change. She spoke beautifully and eloquently and struck a perfect balance of light heartedness and romance. There was such a positive interaction with everyone - we had so many guests comment to us throughout the night how wonderful she was, and how beautiful the whole ceremony was." Sarah and Tony, July 2024.

All my candles are made from the highest quality of Australian beeswax, giving you an eco-friendly candles that creates a warm and soothing glow, filling any space with its natural honey scent.

The candles make a great romantic feature for an evening ceremony, with the warm golden glow and honey aromas creating a cozy, magical memorable ambience in any space.

These are thoughtful & eco-friendly gifts:
Yes I can! Talk to me about your plans. I'm pretty flexible with the packages and love when couples are keen to personalised their wedding ceremony.
Great question. There are several items.
1. Listening to the couple and ensuring they receive the ceremony they want. Hence lots of questions from me to make sure this happens.
Most couples have a good idea of what they want but are unsure on how to go about it and not aware of some of the finer details to polish the ceremonmy. That's where I come in to help.
2. Attention to detail. Not just in completing the paper work, but attention to things like pronouncing people's name correctly.
3. People's safety. A ceremony can quickly become a disaster if there is not enough attention given to safety.
4. Having a back up plan in case of weather changes, delayed arrivals of guests or clients. I have wedding trivia question cards ready
5. Professional Code of Conduct of a Celebrant. I take this seriously. We are carrying out a legal procedure and our work comes under the Attorney General's Dept. At the same time, we can still factor in lots of FUN in the ceremony.
There are many more but I think this is good start.
I sure do. I love to travel to Blue Montains, Jindabyne all year round, Southern Highlands, South Coast NSW, Central and far north coast of NSW and even interstate. The chances are I'll factor in a few days afterwards to go hiking, visit the wineries, galleries and catch up with friends.
Yes I do. When you pay the non-refundable booking fee of 50% by bank transfer, you can pay in installments if your like. The balance must be finalised 4 weeks before the wedding.

Get Expert AdviceCan my vows be funny?
BeeTogether Celebrant
Absolutely! You can definitely have funny vows at your wedding! It's your special day, and the vows should reflect your personality and relationship. Funny vows are a great way to bring humour and light-heartedness to the ceremony, as long as they remain respectful and heartfelt. Many couples choose to mix humour with sincerity, sharing personal anecdotes, inside jokes, or playful promises that will make everyone laugh while still expressing their deep love and commitment.
If you need help writing the perfect funny vows, I can guide you through creating something that’s both meaningful and fun, perfectly fitting for your wedding day! Just let me know if you'd like some ideas or tips.
Can a wedding service be done in two languages?
My partner and I are from different backgrounds. He's European and I'm from Australia. Are we able to get our ceremony done in both languages?
BeeTogether Celebrant
Yes you can! You have the option of a bilingual celebrant or an officially approved interpreter, with an additional cost for the interpreter. Ive added cultural elements into ceremonies to reflect the couple’s heritage in meaningful ways.
My daughter is being married in 12 months time . Am I able to become competent in that time to perform her wedding?
BeeTogether Celebrant
Yes you can. Keep in mind it can take several months to complete if you are working. One friend completed hers in a 6 intense weeks and worked everyday to complete the course work. Then allow the Registration processing time with AG dept. May I suggest a more cost effective way would be to hire a Celebrant to do the legal component of the ceremony and you perform the rest. The planning process with your daughter offers a chance to plan together a beautiful ceremony without you feeling pressured to complete your qualification under pressure. Best wishes x
