OVERVIEW
How to describe celebrant Helen Twyman-Smith… we could tell you she’s a hopeless romantic with a passion for all-things love and family, or perhaps we might mention her quick wit and great sense of humour. But we think the best way to encapsulate celebrant Helen is with a single word: Thoughtfulness.
This creative, open-minded celebrant is attentive to her couples’ needs, and puts love and consideration into crafting their bespoke ceremony. One thing all her ceremonies include are lots of personal touches and sweet anecdotes - like the story of how you met, for example. This is so your ceremony is fun, engaging, and an enjoyable part of your wedding, not something you need to get through in order to celebrate at your reception.
Situated in Picton, Helen loves bringing people together, and uses her outgoing personality, bubbliness, and natural confidence to lift the energy at your wedding, ensuring all guests are engaged and - if it’s your preference - shedding a happy tear or two!
“Helen was amazing. She is very professional, funny, thoughtful. My husband Brad and I were extremely happy with Helen. She provides a very personal service. Helen went up and beyond and I cannot thank her enough for her amazing services. Thank you Helen.” Sharon

Here’s what else you need to know about Helen Twyman-Smith.
“We were fortunate to have Helen as our celebrant for our wedding day. Helen made the entire process so easy and fun, even when we got stressed by the enormity of planning a COVID-19 wedding in a short space of time, Helen was there, checking in with us to ask what she could take off our shoulders … Helen went above and beyond our expectations, and she did so with warmth, compassion, and a lovely sense of humour! You will be in safe and kind hands choosing Helen to be your celebrant and we could not recommend her highly enough.” Colette

Would love some advice! We def want to include our dog in our wedding ceremony! We want him as the ring bearer. Are they are any things to avoid or prepare for in advance? Thanks!

Hi there!
Having your precious pooch at your ceremony is a lovely idea and something I always find that guests get a kick out of too, not to mention the awesome photos you will have for may years to come.
A professional pet handler is something to consider as dogs can get excited and sometimes a little stressed with unfamiliar surroundings.
They will look after your fur baby as if it was their own and you will be free to relax and enjoy your very special day.
Wishing you the very best for your wedding day and future together as a married couple.
Hi there, I'd love some tips for dealing with unsolicited wedding advice.
I'm currently dealing with an overbearing MIL and would really appreciate some advice on how best to handle the situation. How would you suggest avoiding/dealing with unsolicited wedding advice from difficult family members?
Helen Twyman-Smith
My advice is to tell them (whoever the advice is coming from) that you love them very much and value their opinions as they are important to you both, however you will 'take it on board' and consider it with all other options.
Then thank them for their input.
This will help them to feel seen, heard and appreciated whilst giving you the the freedom to do things your way, unless they are paying for your wedding, then you might need to 'throw them a bone' on something (but not everything!)
How can I pay tribute at my wedding to my dad who's no longer with us?
Dad passed away 12 months ago. Would love some ideas how I can still include him somehow.
Helen Twyman-Smith
I'm very sorry on the loss of your Dad 12 months ago.
There are various ways in which your Dad can be honoured at your wedding, starting with a tribute in words, either by way of a poem, a reading or even few short words of acknowledgement.
You may choose to have a candle lighting ceremony with a lovely intro of words then some soft music playing as the candle is lit by you, you & your fiance or another significant family member.
A table or ladder can be set up in the ceremony space with photographs and a candle already burning.
There is also the option of reserving a front row seat for him with a reservation sign & photo or other memorabilia.
These & more options are available, bringing a balance of reflection and celebration, specific to your individual needs and comfort.
