Heartfelt Ceremonies with Simone

13/04/2026

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Doug & Holly who recently booked me as their celebrant and went into the draw to win an Engagement Shoot with the beautiful and talented Kathy from . Thank you, Kathy, for gifting me this voucher to give to one of my lucky couples, and thank you, Doug & Holly for trusting me with your special day.

Not all celebrants are the same, and your ceremony shouldn’t be either.

If you’re after something personal, well-held and genuinely meaningful, here’s what you can expect when working with me.

2027 dates are limited to 50 weddings and are already filling.

If you feel like we’d be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you 🤍

There’s a moment in life where everything changes.

A beginning.
A goodbye.
A promise.

A story worth honouring.
Most people meet me when they’re celebrating love…
but I am there for so much more than that.
I walk beside you through life’s biggest moments
the joyful ones,
the tender ones,
and the ones that take every ounce of strength to face.

Whether it’s standing with you as you say “I do”, or holding space as you say goodbye…
I don’t take that responsibility lightly.

This isn’t just what I do.
It’s who I am.

I am your life celebrant,
and it is a privilege to tell your story with care, honesty and heart 🤍

Not every couple dreams of the same kind of wedding…
and that’s exactly how it should be.

Some want quiet and deeply personal.
Some want intimate and intentional.
Others want to gather everyone they love and celebrate in a big way.

There’s no “right” way to get married.
Only what feels right for you.

If you’re in that stage of planning where you’re trying to figure out what fits…
start with how you want the day to feel, not just how it should look.

The rest will fall into place 🤍

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately… and it hasn’t been without reason 🤍

Life’s been doing that thing where it all happens at once.

I’ve recently left the funeral home and stepped into a new job, which has been equal parts exciting and “what am I doing?”… but in the best way. A big new chapter and I’m finding my feet as I go.
In the middle of that, we’ve also been preparing to say goodbye to a dear family friend. A tough reminder of how quickly things can change, and how important it is to slow down and be present with the people who matter.

And then, in true life fashion, there’s been some magic too. I had the absolute privilege of heading away for a destination wedding, soaking up love, laughter, and a few moments that filled my cup right back up.

A bit of everything, really. The highs, the lows, and all the in-between.

I’m still here, still doing what I love… just moving through a season that’s been a little fuller, a little heavier, and a little more behind the scenes than usual 🤍

Destination Wedding time. 🚢

Saturday I had the absolute pleasure of marrying Renee and Blake. 🤍

These two have been together since 2011, and it’s so easy to see why they work so well. Blake brings the laughs, Renee keeps everyone grounded, and together they’ve built a beautiful life centred around love, family and loyalty.

Their story is proof that sometimes the best relationships don’t need a grand beginning. Blake actually moved in two weeks before they officially started dating, and somehow it just worked. When you know, you know.

Surrounded by family and friends in Nanango, they made it official and said “I do”, and it was such a privilege to stand with them as they stepped into this next chapter together.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Kinsela.
May your life together always be full of laughter, love, and plenty of those lazy Sunday family days. 🤍

On Saturday I married Kass, a proud Kamilaroi woman, to her forever person, Ryan. They were married at the beautiful Bunya Mountains and had 50 of their loved ones surround them with their love and support. Before the wedding ceremony commenced, Frank performed a smoking ceremony and Beau lead a Welcome to Country, before they shared in a ceremonial song.

This year marks 20 years since I participated in Lions Youth of the Year and I’m very privileged to be judging the Nanango and Blackbutt-Benarkin competition.

Programs like this are so important for our regional communities. They celebrate the intelligence, leadership, compassion and potential of the young people who will shape the future of Australia.

I’m really looking forward to meeting the students, hearing their ideas, and seeing the confidence and character they bring to the stage. Opportunities like this remind us just how capable and inspiring the next generation truly is.

A big thank you to the Nanango and Blackbutt-Benarkin Lions Clubs and Nanango State High School for the work they do supporting young people and strengthening our community.

“We had the pleasure of having Simone as our marriage celebrant, she was approached with our “engagement party” turning into a surprise elopement for NYE.

Not only did she keep everything a secret but she accommodated our requests for short, no bs & to include our kids with family necklaces I had made, and even incorporated an “I do” promise to our stepkids as we handed them over.

She definitely made our blended family dynamic work into a ceremony & constantly communicated thoroughly to ensure we felt comfortable and made sure it wasn’t a “shotgun wedding” and making sure we both consent 😉

We couldn’t ask for anyone better, thank you so much for marrying us! ❤️”
