Geelong celebrant creating ceremonies that feel exactly like you!

The two of you! Together, your life, your loves, the things you laugh about...

Honestly, that's the key to a great day.

Making sure it sounds like the two of you as much as possible.

So you can feel as relaxed and present as possible in the moment.

And so everyone you've invited along feels genuinely part of it with you. (and so darn happy to share in it with you!)

The ceremony is the starting point of that day with all your people.

And so much of the vibe that follows is created during the ceremony.

We want your people feeling a part of it with you.

Not like they're watching something happen in front of them.

Most couples I work with want something a little different

That's where I come in.

Not different for the sake of it.

Not quirky just to be edgy.

Just true to them.

The couples I work with usually:

  • Care more about how the day feels than how it looks.
  • Want their guests to feel welcomed, included and genuinely part of the experience.
  • Might feel nervous about standing up the front but know it's worth it.
  • Want someone warm, witty and confident on the mic to hold the space with ease.
  • Aren't chasing curated perfection.
  • Value connection and presence more than anything else.

They want a ceremony that sounds like them.

Because if it sounds like them, it'll feel like them.

And when those two things line up?

That's when people can actually relax and enjoy the moment.

This couple did things completely their way.

 

Your ceremony can look, sound and feel however you want it to.

We just want it to feel right for you.

My husband and I are wedding photographers and when we decided to get married there was no doubt in our mind that Zena would be the one to legalise our love union.

We have shot many weddings over the years and have experienced a wide variety of different celebrants. Trust us when we say, Zena is the best in the biz!

Zena, thank you for being our celebrant! You made our wedding day extra special! All our guests kept saying we chose such a great celebrant! You really are the best!

Zena was a guiding light not only through planning our destination wedding but also on the day when we were both overcome with emotion. As a queer couple Zena created a safe place for us to both feel comfortable, she was able to easily adapt more inclusive language to better suit us as a couple. Thank you Zena for your beautiful words during the ceremony, your patience during our zoom sessions and for celebrating our love story.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Zena marry us earlier in February this year. From the beginning, Zena made us two nervous nellies feel very relaxed and at ease, and that was all because of her warm, caring, and professional approach. Even though we were complete strangers, our catch ups felt like going out for coffee with a dear friend, where you share some of your favourite moments and life’s joys. Zena was patient through tears and listened to our story to create a ceremony that was a perfect representation of who we are. Our wedding day was the most magical experience and if we were to do it all again, we would choose the lovely Zena over and over!
