“I wish I could give Bernadette ten out of five stars for her role as celebrant at our wedding. From the moment we met, Bernadette was the utmost professional and was also a pleasure to be around. On the day, Bernadette helped with some of our setup and was so open to adapting to any changes that we wanted to make on the day. What's more, she is such a pillar of support and positivity and helped to keep us both smiling and happy through the nerves. Bernadette genuinely played a huge role in helping to make our day as special as it was, and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a warm and happy ceremony.

About

I wasn’t always in the wedding world—my journey started in childcare, then at Sea Life (yes, I’ve rescued sea turtles!), but my true passion? Celebrating love! Melbourne-born, now Sunshine Coast-based, I’m a travel-loving, coffee-obsessed, pizza-and-pasta enthusiast. I rekindled an old flame overseas (now my hubby, Casey xx), got married, and have two beautiful girls. As a celebrant, I’m here to make your ceremony fun, relaxed, and 100% YOU!

FAQ

If you want to have a legal ceremony you need 1 months notice. You must fill out a notice of intended marriage (NOIM) and it needs to be signed 1 month before the big day with an authorised person (like myself!!!) 

NOIM attached: 

https://www.publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/32aa6b54-1309-4828-9221-80b77939f22d/resource/00a3c5cf-fc4f-4ab0-a559-6802d725362c/download/notice-of-intended-marriage.pdf

You can legalise the ceremony at a later date with two witnesses if you want to have a ceremony earlier than 1 month. 

I have done this several times before, please get in touch if you wanted to chat about your options. 

Sadly no, you need to apply for your legal marriage certificate with Births, Deaths and Mariages. 

This is the Queensland link to BDM- Remmeber you need to apply in your own state.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Bernadette as the celebrant for our wedding. Bernadette was professional, calm and so lovely throughout the whole process. She was so organised and quick with her responses, and really helpful with our vows and explaining what would happen on the day. She made us feel at ease and it felt like we had known her for years. Many of our guests on the wedding day commented on just how lovely Bernadette was and one couple even decided to use her to officiate their upcoming wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant! Highly recommend!

Thank you Mr and MRs Manton for the most beautiful review. And what an honour it was so make an impression on your beautiful engaged friends, such a buzz they booked me at your wedding! Cannot wait to see you both again at their wedding! So special!

August 2022

Bernadette has been an absolute pleasure to work with! From start to finish she has been prompt, friendly and incredibly helpful. I was so pleased with the ceremony she created - it was the perfect mix of traditional and romantic while capturing our love story and personalities perfectly. She made us feel all the emotions during the ceremony, but helped us remain calm when nerves started! Bernadette's way with words will have all your guests feeling just as emotional, even if someone may only know one of the soon-to-be's. One of my favourite guest comments: "You're ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Although we've only recently met, I felt all the emotions of your entire love story - that is such a credit to your celebrant! Bernadette worked so well with all my vendor's and helped the entire ceremony run seamlessly. I would recommend her a million times over!

Bernadette was our celebrant for our recent wedding at Tiffany’s Maleny. We couldn’t have been happier we chose her. Everything from the first initial contact with her, to the constant contact and guidance throughout the whole process, to her delivering the most beautiful ceremony for us on the day in front of our nearest and dearest. Our wedding day and ceremony was perfect in every way. We can’t thank or recommend Bernadette any higher!

Thank you so much! You were both an absolute pleasure to work with and I adored getting to know you both throughout your engagement. I was honoured to tell your love story and am so happy I was able to create a unique and personalised ceremony for you both.

Bernadette made our ceremony run so seamlessly and made it absolutely perfect! She has such a lovely, relaxing energy and helped so much through the whole process from the very beginning to after the the actual wedding and beyond! Would absolutely recommend! :):)

We knew from the minute we met Bernadette that she was the perfect celebrant for us! When every other celebrant was preaching to us about what “they” could do, how good “they” were and how “they” were so special, Bernadette didn’t toot her own horn, rather she asked US about “our” relationship, “our” connection”, and what “we” wanted for our ceremony. Bernadette really took the time to get to know us on a deep and personal level and customized our ceremony to be exactly how we wanted it, incorporating little details from our history, our favourite memories, our family and friends, and the exact vibe we were after. And she did it all with a huge contagious smile and gorgeously fun personality! You can really tell that she loves what she does, cares about her couples and takes time and effort to ensure we are 100% happy! LOVE HER!

How can I tell my sister her kids aren't invited to our wedding?

Hi there. We don't want to have kids at our wedding, but I also don't want to offend my sister. I adore my nieces but we want a particular vibe at our wedding. Any suggestions?

Ceremonies by Bernadette

I would find some local accommodation ideas and baby sitters and then address the "issue". 

Telling her firstly you wont be having children and then following on with but, I have some great accommodation and baby sitting options so you can still bring them and they can be close by but can also get baby sat so you can let your hair down.  

There are lots of reason you might not want children at your wedding so think of a few that might resonate with your sister to let her down easy. 

I have children and know first hand that even if they are easy going kids, they will still be hanging off you, wanting food, sleep, drinks.. Having a child free wedding allows all parents t let their hair down for the night and make the most of their time away. Highly recommend (from experience).
