After 30 years as a critical care nurse and listening to so many beautiful stories it's time to listen to yours and make your marriage ceremony special to you. My clients have complemented how easy I have made it for them to get that special experience across to their guests, with an added giggle or two. I love to try new ideas and bring them into the mix. Happy to travel.

FAQ

Absolutely, I have performed more ceremonies with pets involved, than not.

As long as the venue permits, you can have them perform as petal pups, ring bearers, groomsmen.

I can sit and transcribe his story, I can receive a recorded message, I can use a scrap of paper he has written with or without anothers assistance.

When it comes to the ceremony, I can do a "repeat after me" style with a whisper in the ear to encourage the realism to flow.

Do not worry - I will shame you with my plastic silver coloured Christmas cracker style alternative.

Unless of course, you have a family member willing to substitute you for the ceremony.

I am fortunate that I live exactly between the Sunshine and Gold Coast, so travellig to either is quite easy and negotiable, absolutely.

Helena was amazing, we couldn't have asked for anyone better on our special day. She made it so easy and relaxing and she also made us laugh. We highly recommend Helena!!!!

Thank you so much Hannah and Ryan, I loved listening to your stories and the fun times you have already had together.

November 2024

Helena absolutely crushed being our Wedding Celebrant. She was our first choice and we were very lucky to lock her in! Helena not only made sure our wedding ceremony ran smoothly, but she answered all our questions when our minds were spinning through all the busy planning. We had many compliments about our wedding ceremony and the script, Helena had helped us write. Not to mention her own little romantic blurb! Helena was excellent about the finer details - even her microphone matched our wedding theme colours. We would highly recommended Helena if you were looking for a professional, chill and stress free wedding celebrant.

Thank you Jess and Sim for choosing me as your celebrant and having trust in me to give you want you wanted. The rain did not stop any fun or romance that day.

November 2024

Helena made our wedding day so special and made sure we had the best day ever! She was willing to go along with some crazy ideas, such as doing a shot of vodka with the bridal party and even made a suggestion to have the groomsmen walk down the aisle to a funny surprise song! It made the day so memorable and so much fun. We have recommended Helena to friends and would encourage others to do have her as your celebrant.

Thank you Hayley and Jared, coming out for the day from the Gympie Muster was very much worth it to be your celebrant. You all had such a great time.

We booked Helena last minute due to location change and we couldn’t have chosen better. She was so accomodating and made our elopement comfortable and stress free. She was so happy and eager to help in anyway she could. Couldn’t recommend more!

Thank you, Nichole and Allan, after 30 years together, 2 gorgeous sons and 2 beautiful grandchildren, it was probably time. Hope you family enjoyed your surprise announcement.

Helena is both professional and personable. She set us at ease throughout the entire process, helping us to prepare for the big day as well as being an amazing support during the ceremony. Every detail was looked after, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything went. Highly reccommend!

Is it okay for your godfather to walk you down the aisle?

Ceremonies by Helena - The Celebrant Cafe

I have had brothers, best friend, daughter walk the bride down the aisle.

Do not forget, it is YOUR day and YOU choose the right person for the role.

There are so many choices for a celebrant... How can we narrow down and pick one for us?

We are having just a small wedding - 20 guests. It will be a simple ceremony followed by the reception. We don't want to spend too much, but would like a celebrant who can make the short amount of time special.

Ceremonies by Helena - The Celebrant Cafe

You need to be honest with yourself and your gut feelings.

The celebrant needs to reflect what you wish for, how you want your ceremony to feel and look.

Make the time to arrange a quick chat with a few celebrants and dont rush.

Congratulations x
