OVERVIEW

Have you ever met someone where you felt at ease? Where the conversation flowed naturally and buzzed with ideas? A person who speaks with warm honey caramel tones. Well, that would be me! I take the time to get to know every single one of my couples, so when it comes to writing up your ceremony, it feels like I am writing a ceremony for friends I have known for years.


What's my vibe? I like to consider myself classy, colour coordinated, elegant, with a hint of puns for good measure and a good storyteller too. No detail is too juicy for me (really).


And don't worry about your esteemed guests twiddling their thumbs waiting for the ceremony to end. With my ceremonies, they are one of the best parts of the wedding. I take the time to carefully craft every word of your ceremony until it is perfect, so you always know you are in safe hands, and it reflects who you both are effortlessly. I love the scripting part because I love words and how they carry meaning and influence our emotions. 

Google review:

"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." Sarah and Tony, July 2024.


Why you will love Gabrielle as your celebrant:

  • Willing to travel to any destination to get you hitched.
  • Can both be a celebrant and MC at your wedding.
  • You get to make use of my excellent PA system and mic.
  • I am highly dedicated as a celebrant and MC and will ensure your day is filled with fun, laughs and even some emotion.
  • I am an inclusive celebrant and ally of the LGBTIQA+ community and will always acknowledge this beautiful country where we work.
  • I work on all the legal issues, including ordering your marriage certificate for you, so that is one less stress to consider.
  • You have the option for Beeswax candles for a ceremony ritual (Candle unity), thank you gifts, or Bridal Shower with a twist.

Some fun facts about Gabi:

  • I’m obsessed with bees, finding the best negroni and Caesar salad.
  • I love making others laugh by telling amazing stories.
  • I’m a big fan of David Attenborough.
  • I’m happily married myself.
  • I taught drawing, painting, photography and ceramics for many years.
  • A bit of a fitness freak and love doing my body pump classes regularly.
  • Public speaking is my forte; I've being doing it for 30 years

I am all about your wedding day and what I can bring. Once you get in touch with me, you can see the passion, dedication and love I put into every one of my ceremonies right from the moment we meet. I can't wait to get in touch with you and make your wedding one of the most memorable occasions of your life!

About

        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 from BeeTogether, was an exceptional celebrant. Gab's communication and thoroughness in the lead up to the big day really helped put us at ease and have confidence in her. Gab was always happy for us to change any big or small things in the ceremony script, so the day was exactly as we had visualised it. We did a full run through the day before so everyone knew where to be and when. Our wedding day went perfectly as planned all thanks to Gab. We couldnt ask for a better celebrant and would highly reccomend her to anyone.

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

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.

        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!

        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.

        BeeTogether Celebrant

        It was an absolute pleasure planning with you and Taite to create your wedding ceremony. Your romantic styling, THE most incredible beautiful vows, the string duet and your love story made the wedding very special indeed. Thank you for your kind words. Gabix

        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
