Choosing your celebrant is one of the most beautiful aspects of planning you wedding.
So, you are planning your beautiful wedding day and at the top of your list is your celebrant. Do you know that without your celebrant, there is no wedding, no ceremony and no marriage? They have superpowers beyond what we know! The question is, there are so many celebrants to choose from – how do you decide on ‘the one?’ What makes a great celebrant?
Some couples will say choosing a celebrant is difficult; however, I like to add a little bit of my own beautiful layer here. Choosing your celebrant is probably one of the most sacred and heart-aligned decisions you will make. It is a trusting decision; it can be intuitive and most couples don’t know where to begin as the choices of amazing humans seem so endless, especially here in beautiful Gippsland. Making the right decision is an innate process that plants the seeds for your wedding day and your life together as a married couple.
A great celebrant begins the bringing-together process on your wedding day and will tell your love story, involve your guests and make it a moving, palpable and loving experience for everyone in attendance. They are incredible storytellers and will take you and your guests on a beautiful emotional journey, sharing with intention your unique love story. They will make you laugh, and cry and they will love you in this sacred moment of time. This is you and your celebrant creating a passage of history.
