About

As a teacher, wife, and mother of two, I have always found joy in simplifying life's moments and celebrating love in its purest form. I am also a hobby farmer and love nothing more than talking to my animals, appreciating the simple pleasures of life. That's why I founded Simply Celebrated - to bring my passion for simplicity and love to the world of weddings.

Karina was fabulous. From keeping us organised in the lead up to making our wedding day itself so full of joy she was easy to deal with, quick to answer any questions and managed our day so professionally while also being such a warm and lovely person! Would highly recommend her if you’re after a relaxed, happy and fuss free ceremony

Karina was an absolute dream to have as part of our wedding team from signing initial paperwork to creating our perfect ceremony! She made us feel comfortable and relaxed the whole way along and on the day our family and friends could not sing her praises highly enough as the environment that she fostered for us and our guests was absolute perfection! Karina was especially talented at making our ceremony script very personal to our love story, she really took the time to get to know us (even in a very short 4 week turn around!!) and that showed clearly in the words she prepared for our special day We can’t thank and recommend her enough!

Karina seamlessly blended tradition and innovation, orchestrating a flawless ceremony that wove together elements of both a traditional wedding and Iranian customs. Karina’s ability to organise and create a harmonious flow made the day truly exceptional. Karina’s accommodation and attention to detail ensured a memorable and culturally rich experience for everyone involved. We highly recommend her for a perfect balance of tradition and creativity. We can’t thank you enough for making our dreams a reality!

Karina was an absolute pleasure to deal with and had such an easy going and friendly demeanour. She made the whole process simple, ensuring we were organised, ticked all the right boxes and were set for the day. She was also available and quick to answer all the questions that came up along the way and assist with our vows. She was very accommodating in helping us organise all the details from interstate, from facetime calls to dropping into her home before the wedding. She ensured the ceremony went smoothly, organising guests, passing on any house keeping, coordinating the music and of course, speaking articulately throughout. Post wedding, she also ensured the official marriage certificate was sent to her while we were on honeymoon, to ensure it didn’t go awol. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Karina as a celebrant enough! Literally 100/10!!! She is super organized and meticulous, which helped us not stress about the paperwork and legal matters, and was incredibly thoughtful, considerate and open-minded when working with us to craft our perfect and unique ceremony! Karina is super friendly and it was an absolute pleasure to be married by her! I would recommend her as a celebrant EVERY time!!!
