First We Meet
Let's meet over a coffee (or a glass of wine) to discuss my ceremony package & chat about the exciting details of your wedding day!
Kirby, will you Marry Us?
Yayyy! Let's get you HITCHED!
I require a deposit to secure your Wedding Date & Location.
Bespoke Ceremony Crafted for you!
Working with you, I then create your wedding ceremony script - which can be edited and updated until you're 100% happy!
The Legal Paperwork
I will remind you on what ID to bring with you to our meeting and arrange all the legal paperwork required.
You just sit back and relax (& sign on the dotted line of course)!
A little bit about me..
I just love WEDDINGS!
I love the couples excitement & anticipation during the lead up, the raw emotion expressed in vows & of course that magical aisle moment!
I live in Melbourne with my husband, daughter & mini sausage dog. My interests (aside from weddings) in no particular order include:
Red Wine, Cheese Platters, Brunchin’, Dinner Dates, Champagne, Delicious Candles, Mecca Maxima, Long Walks, Summer, Michael Bublé, Laughing, Fairy Lights, Haigh’s Chocolate, Christmas, Coffee
... and evidently, I also enjoy Writing Lists.
In January 2017, my Husband and I were lucky enough to be married by the loveliest human- Sally Hughes. After going through the process for our own wedding - I was inspired to complete my CERTIV in Celebrancy.
Becoming a celebrant has been one of the best life decisions that I've ever made, I bloody love it!
As a self confessed 'people person', I truly LOVE getting to know my unique couples during such a special time of their lives, whilst creating a completely personalised ceremony each & every time.
My ultimate goal is to craft a ceremony that you will reflect back on in ten, twenty, fifty years time with huge smiles on your dials, reminiscing about the memories that you have from your magical day!
Anyway, that's enoughhhh about me....
I want to get to know YOU two lovebirds.
Kirby xx

My husband and I were thinking who would be perfect to marry us and the first person to come to mind was this bubbly, beautiful spirited Kirby! She was amazing to work with and helped with all the wedding planning nerves. When ever I needed anything, she messaged right away and assisted us the best way possible. We could not have chosen anyone better as she helped make our day complete! Thank you sooo much!

**** REVIEW****
“Wow is all I can say.
Kirby honestly made our wedding the day that it was. We couldn’t have done it without her!!! Not only is she the nicest, most calm & kind soul. She is amazing at her job- fabulous all round. Organised, efficient and experienced!
It was truly a blessing to have her there on the day with us, all my nerves vanished and she took the reigns! I felt like during the ceremony it was just my husband, Kirby and I.
10/10 would reccommend!!!!
Xxxx “

What a perfect day for two of the most beautiful humans @ the spectacular Jackalope.
A little sneaky (secret) mid-week elopement with only their immediate family attending and gosh it was just magical.
I cannot express how honoured I felt to be there, I will forever hold this day in my heart J & H!
Ps. These photos are insanely beautiful, you captured their special day perfectly @gingerandmint 🙌🏼✨

Email I just received: 😭😍
“Hi Kirby,
Thank you so much! But seriously, thank you for your incredible ceremony and our couples story - it was so well done, funny and engaged the whole crowd!! One of our friends said it was the best ceremony she had been too and so impressed with how you officiated. We were so thrilled with how everything went, and you made it so hard a smooth and stress free event for us ❤️ We had an absolute ball and are so happy to be officially married!
Thank you for lodging the paperwork, that all sounds great 😊 And you are very welcome about the pen, Dad is always happy to show them off, hehe.
Miranda did such and great job with the pics and the balloons were so cool too. And the food was amazing!! Chin Chin was such a great choice and highly recommend them as a venue!!
Here are some preview pics from the day. I will send through more when we get the official ones.
Thanks again for doing such a wonderful job!
Take care and all the best!
Hailey and Sean xo “
Mr & Mrs Zajac, our amazingly loved up and beautiful best friends! ✨
On 31.12.21, these two lovebirds were (finally) married at the spectacular Mitchelton Wines- bringing in the NEW YEAR as Husband & Wife!
Although, the day prior to their wedding, my Husband (Best Man) tested positive to c*vid on a 'precautionary' RA test before heading up to Nagambie. Meaning myself and my husband Craig were immediately sent into 7 days of isolation. (F*CK).
So.. on the 30th, I scrambled and instantly began making calls in crisis management mode locking in a new (super lovely and talented) Celebrant for the couple last minute. I transferred all the paperwork and legal documentation accordingly so everything was seamless for the ceremony side of things. The wonderful Kate read my script beautifully and was incredibly supportive to the couple - which I'm ever so grateful for.
Once that was sorted, my 2 year old Ivy and I quickly packed our bags and moved out to out to avoid any potential exposure (as I'm currently pregnant, which provoked even more anxiety in this devastatingly difficult situation).
Ivy has since been asking for her Dad and saying she misses him 2,386 per day which is so effing hard. It's the longest time Craig and I have spent apart from one another in over 9 years.
Anyway.. I'm babbling a little with this post, as I'm still super emotional and heartbroken to have missed our best friends special day - but none the less, we (and some more of their besties) watched on via Zoom all night, we all laughed, cried and loved every moment! But most importantly, Nick and Estelle had an INCREDIBLY special day and that's all we had ever wished for... their smiles said it all. Even via Zoom.. the love in the room could still be felt in spades.
To all my future couples, if you are feeling (understandably) anxious about upcoming wedding dates.
Please take this BEAUTIFUL photo of Estelle and Nick as inspiration...
If your wedding looks a little different to what you had originally planned.. just remember all you need in the end is each other ❤️
Wishing all my beautiful (past & future) couples a very Happy New Year✨
It’s going to be a crazy busy wedding season in 2022 for all of your wedding vendors, as we are still madly playing catchup cramming almost 2 years of postponements into this coming year, but my gosh it’s amazing to be back in full swing marrying peeps & celebrating lurrrve again!! 🤍
On a personal note, I have 25 super spesh weddings booked from Jan-April’22 & during these next 4 months- I’ll be bringing a little plus one along with me, as I’m currently growing a human, a little brother for Ivy✨👶🏼
Thank-you so much to each and every one of you for allowing me to play a small part on your special day, it honestly means the world to me to be able to truly love what I do. I hold each & every one of my couples with me in my heart always. I have the BEST ‘job’ in the world.
HNY lovers 🤍🤍
Love Kirby x
