Southern Highlands Celebrant,.. Weddings conducted in all areas.
Hi, I'm Nina!
I'm an avid coffee drinker, so you'll usually find me in a my local cafe (the office!) writing beautiful wedding ceremonies & chatting to couples. I'm married too. Since then my red-bearded husband and I have added 3 kids to the family, two fish, and a cat called Sonny that my husband doesn't like. He's a dog person. I'm in a Ukulele band and I love musical theatre. Shhh, don't tell anyone. I collect art & records. I drive a red Ford - and if its in my driveway you're welcome to drop in - and people do. Because thats the kinda gal I am. Friendly. Chatty. Love a laugh. Love meeting people.
And I'd like to meet you!!
I'm guessing the reason you're reading this is because you're engaged to be married? MASSIVE Congratulations!!! So, I've been a Celebrant for over 7 years now and literally conducted hundreds of weddings. I'm passionate about helping loved up couples get hitched.
Shall we chat over the phone first? So you can...
- hear my voice & check its not squeaky and annoying
- decide whether you like my style and suggestions
- tell me your wedding plans & ideas
- work out whether i'm your person for your special day?
I'm sure you are looking at a list of Celebrants - but just remember you want to compare apples with apples (as they say). Price isn't everything, and you will find cheaper.
But I promise one thing - I will be myself. And I'll share with you lots of secrets about what makes a wedding day great... First TIP - You be yourselves too & remember its your day - so we do things your way! (Because I've been up the front at hundreds of weddings I might be able to give you a few ideas though).
Yes - I'm an organised person & I spend lots of time getting to know my couples. That way I can create and conduct each ceremony in collaboration with couples to suit them - whether its classic, traditional, hipster, funny, short & sweet, modern, creative, surprise filled, heartfelt, or themed - whatever you are like, so your day should be that way. My job is to design a ceremony that flows naturally, engages your guests, and celebrates your life together, while making the whole process stress free and legally binding.
Being based in the Southern Highlands, I’m well located for ceremonies in Canberra, Illawarra, & South Coast. I love a country road.
I'll only come to Sydney if I really like you ;)
Service Inclusions: PA System, All Legal Requirements and Lodgement of forms, Bespoke customised ceremony script, Rehearsal meeting, Ceremony Materials and Content suggestions, Administration, Travel within the Southern Highlands. (Small fee applies for travel 50km from home.)
Hope to meet you soon xx Nina
Nina de Borde - Civil Marriage Celebrant
Wedding OUTFITS!!! One of my favourite subjects - my growing collection of dresses and work jackets keep expanding weekly!!
I would definitely talk to your Celebrant about colours and style, as yes - it will impact your photos on the day. A good photographer can work around this, but why should they have to! Your Celebrant shouldn't be offended if you talk about her/his outfit on the day, but my guess is - you'll be able to tell immediately if you like them and they have style ;) I always recommend working the Celebrants outfit in with what the men are wearing - black, navy suits? lighter tones? That always looks good - good luck!
