Perfection at Panton Vineyard

Lorin and Troy were thrown a curveball early on in their wedding planning and they had to change their date, I was very lucky to come on board as their celebrant when their plans took shape for their ceremony at the beautiful and private Panton Vineyard, Red Hill.

My oh my it was a magnificent ceremony, they truly invested themselves in working with me to create a ceremony that reflected their personalities and their love for one another.  It had everything, an emotional walk down the aisle, a beautiful moment with all of their parents as they stood together eagerly waiting to be married.  I loved retelling their story, there were cheers punctuated with laughter, their vows were personal and poignant and my very favourite moment came when we took a few minutes to sign the legal certificates with their Grandmother’s as their witnesses.  There is something very special about having close family members witness your signatures on your marriage certificate.

Lorin and Troy’s reception at The Epicurean Red Hill would have been spectacular; they were surrounded by all of their favourite people and I just know the celebrations would have gone long into the night!!

A Classy Affair by the Yarra

October 7, 2017 Jessica Edwards

Sophisticated, elegant, traditional and heartfelt are the words that immediately spring to mind when I think about Kate and Paul’s beautiful ceremony at Leonda by the Yarra.
I actually quite like a little tradition when it comes to a wedding ceremony and while Kate and Paul were totally relaxed and super easy to work with they also chose to use traditional wedding vows:
“To have and to hold, from this day forward. For better, for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow.”
These vows pretty much say it all when it comes to the commitment you are making to one another on your wedding day!

My other favourite moment of their day was greeting Kate and her stunning bridesmaids as they arrived along with her very happy and proud parents; they were beaming, relaxed and totally ready to enjoy the ceremony and all the celebrations that were about to unfold.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs R!  Wishing you a long and happy marriage, maybe with the Bombers winning a grand final in the near future!!

Ace Hi Ranch, Boneo

Ashlee and Tom made their wedding day uniquely their own and Ace Hi Ranch was the perfect venue for their rustic and relaxed nuptials!

Their ceremony location was one of the most fabulously different locations I have ever had the pleasure of helping people to get hitched!

My absolute favourite part of their ceremony was their personal vows which included a super cute in-joke which gave all their guests a good giggle.

There were bridesmaids in cowgirl boots, a few inconvenient gusts of wind, a beautiful acknowledgement of their parents, lots of laughs and a whole lot of love. The perfect combination for a loved up and fabulous wedding ceremony.

I’m sure the rest of the night in the Ace Hi Shearing Shed was a right ole shindig!

A Blinder at Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron

April 29, 2017 Jessica Edwards

I am such a big fan of relaxed people who are planning a cracking party to celebrate their love.  Carolyn and Mark were doing exactly that and they picked the perfect beach side setting at Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron. 

Carolyn was a little late, as she wasn’t going to miss watching her footy team, St Kilda win their game!  Once the ceremony got underway she absolutely stole the show in her stunning gown.  There were plenty of laughs and right as we came to the ‘serious’ part Mark was completely blinded by the sun appearing for the first time that afternoon.  Lucky his fabulous bride provided the perfect shade so he could get through his vows.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Bell, you absolute legends!

A beautiful celebration of family in Portsea

March 4, 2017 Jessica Edwards

Beck and Jarrad have built a happy and contented family life together. They met in high school but love didn't blossom until they found themselves living in a share house during their university years. With their two beautiful daughters and much loved family dog all part of their bridal party there were quite a few laughs and some very emotional moments during their ceremony at Portsea Golf Club. The most poignant moments coming as their eldest daughter read a poem written by Jarrad. There were tears from everyone as she bravely overcame her emotions to present a personal and beautiful piece about their family. Makes me well up just thinking about it.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Miller, it was an absolute pleasure being part of your marriage celebrations.

Tanglewood Estate - Even the lake is heart shaped!

January 28, 2017 Jessica Edwards

Abby and Kade tied the knot at fabulous Tanglewood Estate on the most perfect summer day.  Their ceremony was relaxed and punctuated with laughter – my favourite kind!  They met and knew each other through high school but nothing romantic eventuated until a few years after they graduated.   They have created a beautiful life together with their gorgeous daughter and much loved fur baby and their wedding was the perfect way to celebrate the awesome future they have to look forward to.

Euroa Butter Factory

February 27, 2016 Jessica Edwards

Richard and Sharna chose the rustic Euroa Butter Factory for their wedding; it was the perfect venue and weekend escape for all their family and friends.  The warm and sunny day ensured that all of their celebrations took place outside, their ceremony in the gardens and their reception in the Butter Factory courtyard.

Their personal wedding vows were a special moment and the emotion in both their voices as they shared them with one another was a highlight for this sentimental ole Celebrant!  This line is perfection ‘I love you for not only what you are but for what I am when I am with you’.

An Absolute Beauty in Beaumaris

February 13, 2016 Jessica Edwards

Sheer joy and spontaneous applause are the two things that spring to mind when I think of Camilla and Damien’s wedding ceremony on a sunny but very windy day at the Beaumaris Motor Yacht Squadron.

From the moment the six flower girls began walking down the aisle, I knew we were in for an awesome celebration of Camilla & Damien’s love.  The guests greeted each flower girl with such delight and these fabulous bursts of applause continued right throughout the ceremony.  There was just so much love and support for this gorgeous couple from all their family and friends and the feeling in the air was indescribable and something that will always stay with me.

Inglewood Estate Chapel

Inglewood Estate Chapel played host to Alan and Leah’s beautiful wedding ceremony.  As a proud Scotsman, Alan and Best Man Luke (Leah’s Brother) were clad in traditional Scottish wear and they looked fabulous!  A feeling of anticipation was evident as we waited for Leah to arrive, as she walked down the aisle the atmosphere relaxed and there were many smiles from the bride, groom and their guests as they stood together flanked by their siblings.

From the beginning they had a vision of creating wedding day that celebrated their love for one another, their passion for travel and their amazing family and friends.   There was no question they achieved all those things throughout their magnificent wedding celebrations.

Spectacular Elegance

January 21, 2016 Jessica Edwards

Campbell Point House was the perfect backdrop for the stunningly elegant wedding celebrations created by Megan and Aidan.  Based in Perth, this fun and relaxed couple organised their entire wedding from the other side of the country and all of their guests flew in to enjoy the celebrations on the Victorian Bellarine and surf coast.  You can’t help but we in awe of the surrounds but Megan certainly stole the show when she made her entrance down the grand stairs to her eagerly awaited groom. 

Telling the story of how they first met and when Megan knew Aidan was someone special (a dropped bottle of aftershave!) brought laughter from their family and friends.  ‘All you need is Love’ by The Beatles was the perfect song to end the ceremony as everyone showered the fabulous newlyweds with beautiful congratulations.
