THEIR WEDDING
To be married in their own front yard was such a joy for Hayden & Angie, especially Hayden as he grew up down the road from this very beach in Jan Juc. A morning wedding the conditions were perfect at 9.30am - being surfers they had that sorted!! It was a beautiful celebration of their love for each other and for their 3 children.
THEIR WORDS
Sally came to us highly recommended and we were very fortunate she was available to marry us on our chosen day. Sally’s enthusiasm, lovely nature, caring and genuine interest in our story as a couple lead her to create a very personalised wedding ceremony which we loved. She re-told our story to our guests beautifully, thanked those people present and acknowledged those who weren’t able to be with us. Sally made us feel very special and everyone loved our magical ceremony on the beach. We would certainly recommend Sally to anyone!
THEIR WEDDING
Telling the story of how Aaron and Ashleigh first met and their journey leading to their matrimonial union was a joy to share. Marrying them was even more of a joy - 2 peas in a pod comes to mind!! A beautiful setting at Jack Rabbit Vineyard in the Bellarine Peninsula...we just had to include a wine ceremony!
THEIR WORDS
Coming soon ... when they return from their honeymoon in Greece!

THEIR WEDDING
An intimate but still large gathering in the Garden Chapel at Dalywaters on the Mornington Peninsula. Katherine and Matt eased beautifully into their wedding plans and we had a ball planning their special day. As the model for Mariana Hardwick Katherine looked stunning in her wedding gown as did her bridal party. Matt a true gentleman was beaming with pride all through the ceremony and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house!!
THEIR WORDS
KATHERINE & MATT
Thank you so much Sally. You made our day just beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a more special person than you to marry us. Such a dream magical wedding it was. We are so blessed and we can’t thank you enough! Lots of Love to you, xxx

When I first met with Vicki and Andrew (who met each other a little later in life) at their home in Melbourne they had just started building their shed, The Barn, in the back yard where they planned to have their Wedding. Ten months later I married them in their the Barn and it was fantastic!! The electric vibe on the day was a true reflection of these two passionate and grateful human beings. What a Wedding!
THEIR WORDS
Sally was the first Celebrant we met with and we instantly knew that she was our Celebrant. We had an immediate connection with her and we didn’t want to meet with anyone else, Sally was the one! She was the right mix of professional, fun, passionate, kind, loving and humorous and made us feel totally at ease. Sally really got to know us as people and as a couple and that certainly shone through in the personalised and heartfelt service she created for us. We were married in a purpose built barn at our home, surrounded by our closest friends and family and Sally provided us with many wonderful ideas and ways that we could include our loved ones in our service in a way that felt intimate and relaxed. Ultimately, our service was everything we could have hoped and dreamed of and so much more. There were tears, there was laughter, and there was a whole lot of love and Sally felt like family, not just our Celebrant. Our friends and family all absolutely loved Sally and kept commenting on it being the best service they had ever witnessed - romantic, relaxed, filled with love but with the right amount of humour. This journey would not have been as perfect without the gorgeous Sally. We are forever grateful to her and we will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives.

THEIR WEDDING
Casey and Tori were thrilled to "tie the knot" on the cliffs of Bells Beach at Tori's family home. It was a very big occasion and as you can see the view was spectacular, the ceremony was majestic, (a tad windy and hot), and the love shared between Casey and Tori was celebrated well into the night.
THEIR WORDS
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Sally. We loved our wedding ceremony and wouldn't have changed a thing! Our hand fasting was so special to us, your words, our story, and your love and support was very much appreciated by us and our family.
THEIR WEDDING
Stef and Justin were married at Bellbrae Harvest in the bush in Bellbrae with family and friends present. Situated next to a little lake, we were able to include a stone throwing blessing by the waters edge - a beautiful reflection of who they are as a couple. The whole wedding was romantically styled by Stef herself - a personal touch that didn't go unnoticed.
THEIR WORDS
Thank you so much for everything in making our day so magical. The day was just perfect, I wouldn’t change a thing, we both just had the most amazing day and it was even better than we thought it would be, everything just ran so smoothly. I loved the ceremony so much, I can’t believe how emotional I got, it was a good idea doing the stone throwing ceremony, it was nice having that and it made the ceremony feel nice and long. We also had a lovely honeymoon so relaxing with good food, it was a great way to relax after the wedding.

THEIR WEDDING
It was a beautiful day at Packington Cottages in Geelong. We had a lot of time to get these photos as Jason and Sophie decided to have them taken before as well as after their wedding.
It was a relaxed and fun occasion in a beautiful garden setting - and the guests drank and listened to glorious music throughout the whole ceremony.
THEIR WORDS
To have a family friend marry us was a dream Sal, and we really couldn't have had such a fun and easy day without you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Amazing!!

THEIR WEDDING
The wedding of Kate and Alex was held at the family home on the cliffs of Jan Juc overlooking the beautiful Surf Coast at Bells Beach. Everyone got ready at the house and even though it was a 41 degree day, the atmosphere was relaxed and felt like we were all at a garden party. Reudi, their beloved dog was Alex's best man and Kate's sister was her bridesmaid and also sang through the signing. A glorious ceremony, with readings, song, laughter and a few tears!!
THEIR WORDS
It was an absolute pleasure to have you Sally as our celebrant. The ceremony was just perfect!
You were so helpful in guiding us through the process of creating our ceremony, and understood who we were individually, and as a couple, very quickly. This made for a wonderful, moving and personal celebration that will be cherished forever.
THEIR WEDDING
I met Polly and Luke through my neighbour Deb, while living in Albert Park. Deb was the mother of the bride and we all had such a wonderful year in the lead up to Polly and Luke's wedding day, I almost felt a part of their family!! The Ceremony and Reception were at The Shearing Shed in Phillip Island on 23 March, 2020. Their beautiful fur buddy stood by bursting with pride as did both sets of parents. It was an emotional moment when Luke started to cry - tears of joy are the best aren't they!
THEIR WORDS
Sally, you are an incredible woman and celebrant, and we can’t thank you enough. You were an absolute breeze to deal with from start to finish, and we really appreciated your time and efforts in getting to know us personally leading up to our wedding. As we wanted our special day to be simple, you made it so easy for us, and it all fell into place just perfectly. The lead up to the big day was very stressful due to COVID-19, but we didn't even notice on the day due to your amazing support and professionalism, you went over and beyond for us, thank you!
Love Mr & Mrs Thorpe xxx
