OVERVIEW

Meet Gabrielle, your partner in crafting an exceptional wedding ceremony across the Illawarra, Southern Highlands, South Coast and beyond. Your marriage deserves a beautiful beginning. From the Classic Package to a romantic elopement, Gabi offers popular add ons so you create a unique ceremony tailored to your style.

I describe myself as an engaging storyteller and creative marriage celebrant who understands what an incredible privilege it is to be entrusted with your love story and with creating a beautiful wedding ceremony. I feel very fortunate that so many couples have put this responsibility in my hands. I work hard to ensure the unique ceremony I design for them is a reflection of who they are, both as an individual and as a couple. Whether it’s a beach wedding, a romantic garden wedding, or a traditional ceremony with a modern twist, I am dedicated to making a memorable ceremony. It's pretty special when the couples and their guests laugh and get misty-eyed through the ceremony. 


The couples I work with are all different ages, genders, shapes and sizes, but the one thing they have in common is that they value their wedding ceremony as another step in their commitment to each other. If that sounds like you, please read on!


With a love of bees, it’s no surprise I have combined the art of celebration with the craft of candle-making to offer unique wedding services: from custom beeswax wedding candles for ritual, ceremony styling, reception decor to candle-making Bridal Shower High teas and more.Here's to sharing the love!

Your unique wedding ceremony is a celebration that gives legal and social recognition in front of your family and friends, and Gabrielle is there to ensure that it is a day you will cherish forever. Gabrielle is a word smith, a storyteller and thrives on writing your one-of-a-kind narrative, transforming your story into an unforgettable ceremony.

        I'm so glad you asked.  I'm like a 3 services in 1. I can wed you and add to your reception decoration, create your photo booth and wedding favours. While we make plans for your ceremony, we can chat about those extra things and saves you time in talking to another perosn to help in planning your special day. See @beetogethercelebrant

        All my candles are made from the highest quality of Australian beeswax, giving you an eco-friendly candles that creates a warm and soothing glow, filling any space with its natural honey scent.  

        You can commission me to:

        • Burns cleaner and longer than traditional paraffin candles
        • Bring a bit of Nature into someone's life
        • Create a warm snoothing ambience 

        Yes I can! Talk to me about your plans. I'm pretty flexible with the packages and love when couples are keen to personalised their wedding ceremony.

        Great question. There are several items.

        1. Listening to the couple and ensuring they receive the ceremony they want. Hence lots of questions from me to make sure this happens.

        Most couples have a good idea of what they want but are unsure on how to go about it and not aware of some of the finer details to polish the ceremonmy. That's where I come in to help.

        2. Attention to detail. Not just in completing the paper work, but attention to things like pronouncing people's name correctly.

        3. People's safety. A ceremony can quickly become a disaster if there is not enough attention given to safety.

        4. Having a back up plan in case of weather changes, delayed arrivals of guests or clients. I have wedding trivia question cards ready

        5. Professional Code of Conduct of a Celebrant. I take this seriously. We are carrying out a legal procedure and our work comes under the Attorney General's Dept. At the same time, we can still factor in lots of FUN in the ceremony.

        There are many more but I think this is good start.

        I sure do. I love to travel to Blue Montains, Jindabyne all year round, Southern Highlands, South Coast NSW, Central and far north coast of NSW and even interstate. The chances are I'll factor in a few days afterwards to go hiking, visit the wineries, galleries and catch up with friends. 

        Yes I do.  When you pay the non-refundable booking fee of 50% by bank transfer, you can pay in installments if your like. The balance must be finalised 4 weeks before the wedding.

        Gabrielle is an absolute gem. From the moment we met with her, my husband and I felt so taken care of. Gabrielle's genuine love of love shone through and we felt that she was sincerely excited to be a part of our marriage. Gabrielle was thorough and took every step imaginable to ensure the lead up and the ceremony was a smooth process, and she adapted very well to our last minute wet weather change. She spoke beautifully and eloquently and struck a perfect balance of light heartedness and romance. There was such a positive interaction with everyone - we had so many guests comment to us throughout the night how wonderful she was, and how beautiful the whole ceremony was. Gabrielle also took care of all the legal necessities and provided information on the name changing process, as well as assisting with our vows to ensure we were hitting the mark we were wanting. There was consistent communication throughout the entire process, there was no stress, Gabrielle took care of everything which we really appreciate. We are so glad to have found BeeTogether and to have Gabrielle as our marriage celebrant. We would whole heartedly recommend her services - thankyou a million Gabi! xxx

Ensuring a seamless and memorable experience for couples is always my top priority, and I'm so glad that my efforts resonated with you. I wish you a lifetime filled with love and many more picnics.

        Our wedding went exactly as we would have wanted. The atmosphere was relaxed and jovial, which made it more enjoyable and something we could really treasure. We felt you were very receptive to what we wanted and presented it the way we hoped you would. It felt both intimate and like a celebration. You were professional, whilst also being amiable and flexible and went with the flow of the ceremony. We would like to thank Gabi for helping to make our day memorable and enjoyable and contributing to making our day special and a true celebration. We are so pleased that you were our celebrant, very friendly and you have a bubbly nature. You handled everything great and made our experience easy. You delivered the most amazing service and did exactly what we asked for on the day. Excellent communication before and after our wedding. Gabi was great to deal with on the lead up with all the great suggestions and no pressure. Love love LOVE your beautiful energy and vibe, couldn’t have asked for a more down-to-earth & vibrant celebrant to officiate our marriage. Thanks and best regards, Rani and Shaheel

        Highly recommend Gabrielle! Not only was she amazing on the day, but also in the lead up, helping us get organised and guiding us every step of the way. She took the time to get to know us early on and then tailored the day perfectly. Couldn't ask for anything more!

        Lily H.

        I just want keeping telling your Love Story :) Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you both, and to be a part of your special day. I'm thrilled to hear that you were happy with how everything turned out. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness together! Cheers Gabriellex

        March 2024

        Gabrielle was an incredible celebrant and made our experience so easy, we couldn't have asked for a smoother process with a vendor in the stressful lead up to a wedding. Though we forgot some identification documents on our first meet up, Gabrielle didn't hesitate to pop by again to see the documents once we were ready. We were able to personalise our vows & the ceremony with support from Gabi, and it made for such a lovely ceremony, with our guests telling us it felt very intimate and "us". We can't recommend her enough!

        Sasha P.

        My daughter is being married in 12 months time . Am I able to become competent in that time to perform her wedding?

        BeeTogether Celebrant

        Yes you can. Keep in mind it can take several months to complete if you are working. One friend completed hers in a 6 intense weeks and worked everyday to complete the course work. Then allow the Registration processing time with AG dept. May I suggest a more cost effective way would be to hire a Celebrant to do the legal component of the ceremony and you perform the rest. The planning process with your daughter offers a chance to plan together a beautiful ceremony without you feeling pressured to complete your qualification under pressure. Best wishes x
