25.01.2022 REVIEW - Joe and I were so happy we chose Olivia as our wedding celebrant! She has been so kind and encouraging all throughout our discussions and meetings and very easy to work with as well. Even though Joe and I were not the most organised people she was always very relaxed and extremely helpful with different ideas and suggestions. The ceremony was beautifully crafted and presented; we were very lucky to include her as part of this perfect day. Thank you so much Olivia, you made us feel very special. Good luck for all your future weddings and events! Love Lucy & Joe Talented photography of @sweeterthanhoneyaus

24.01.2022 Don’t worry, you’re still on my Marriage Celebrancy page, so why do I have an image of this box?! Well, to tell you all about @henry.boxes !! One of my former grooms Patrick is one talented chap + creates these gorgeous boxes. Now I know we’ve just had Easter but jump on over to Patrick’s page, you may just want to place an order for Christmas or an upcoming birthday. The quality of the craftsmanship is amazing and produced locally, here in Geelong.

24.01.2022 What a thrill! Patrick + Kira’s gorgeous wedding has been featured on @polkadotbride today! Do yourself a favour + jump on over to check out how P+K put their day together, all captured beautifully by the talented @katiewheelerphotography A big thanks to @pwhack92 + @kiraoneill_ for the following kind words - Our ceremony was put together by the wonderful Olivia Salkeld Civil Celebrant. Olivia spent so much time getting to know us and this was evident from the personal touc...hes that she included throughout. Our guests experienced a mix of emotions they cried happy tears and laughed. We could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony.

23.01.2022 REVIEW - Simply put - Olivia was amazing. Olivia as a person is sweet, warm and very easy to talk with. She is extremely professional and worked with us to make our ceremony just perfect for us.... We didn’t want a traditional ceremony, we were after something more casual, simple and relaxed which she happily catered for and gave us a lot of good suggestions. We would with absolute certainty suggest Olivia’s services/talent to anyone looking for a great celebrant. Thank you, Olivia, for making the day special and perfect for us. Kim and I really appreciate what you did. xoxoxo - Alex + Kim

22.01.2022 These past few months I have been a tad quiet on the social media front whilst I focused my energies instead on growing a tiny little human + subsequently welcoming our beautiful girl, just on 2 months ago today . With my previous two pregnancies, I didn’t have any professional maternity photos but gee whiz, I’m glad I did this time! My gorgeous friend + super talented Apollo Bay based photographer @fabi.photography captured these back in September + they are photos I’ll al...ways treasure, not only because it shows my growing bump but because of the images with my two eldest. What a laugh it was! Fabi herself was 20 weeks pregnant, I was 34 weeks + we drove on out to the picturesque Redwood Forest in the Otway’s with Fabi’s son along with my 2 children. The day was cold + wet + amongst complaints of I’m hungry!, it’s cold! + can we go now?!, Fabi worked her magic If you are planning a maternity shoot or for bridal couples looking for a most wonderful photographer, I recommend you contact @fabi.photography @ Californian Redwood Forest See more

19.01.2022 Jamie + Simone 27.09.2019 - This beautiful couple are just days away from celebrating their 4 month wedding anniversary! What do they say about time flies?! J+S chose the picturesque @baiewines for their Friday nuptials + despite the heavens opening, plan B provided the perfect backdrop. @likethisband sung Simone+ her girls down the aisle before a story unfolded about how J+S first met at a school sports day (both teachers!) before a date followed shortly after at The Edge. ...J+S chose to have two readings, including one of my all time fave’s, a letter from the legendary Johnny Cash to his beloved, back in the early 90’s (I recommend a quick google search, it’s the sweetest ). The party then kicked on, with all 150 guests + their large bridal party continuing on with the celebrations. J+A’s incredible day was captured by the incredible @nicstephensphotography + filmed by @stephtookaphoto Congrats Lovers, hope you’ve been enjoying your USA honeymoon (The beautiful images in this post are @nicstephensphotography ) Marriage Celebrant - @oliviasalkeldcivilcelebrant Venue - @baiewines @baieweddings Photographer - @nicstephensphotography Videographer - @stephtookaphoto Musicians - @likethisband Bridal gown - @qniquebridal from @embrace_bridal Brides earrings - @aylaandoak Bridesmaids earrings - @franklymydearstore Suit jackets - @politixmenswear Hair - Jess @styleandgrace.hair Make-up - @emilymcgrathmakeupartist Florist - @geelongflowerfarm @ BAIE Wines

17.01.2022 REVIEW - We are SO happy we asked Olivia to be our celebrant and extremely grateful she was available for our wedding. Olivia was so kind, so calm and genuinely interested in our ideas and what we wanted for our ceremony. The ceremony she ran was so amazing and our guests have spoken about how much they loved the ceremony. Her script and words were so brilliantly written and so thoughtful. We can’t thank Olivia enough for being a really special part of our day. I would recommend her to anyone needing a celebrant! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

16.01.2022 DANNY + ELLY - YAH!! We’re married! This is the moment I declared D+E husband + wife + there was excitement all around. This gorgeous duo were wed by yours truly at Fairhaven Beach early one Sunday morning with only D’s lovely parents as official witnesses. The ceremony was brief with only the legalities spoken but it was no less beautiful than a long wedding because what was evident + didn’t need to be spoken in words was the fact D+E adore each other. Celebrations followed later that very day (another post on that later). On the beach, their marriage was toasted with Moet with it recorded by the incredible @nathankaso (thanks to Nathan for these images too!) + photographed by the award winning @danoday Congratulations Danny + Elly + thank you @ Fairhaven Beach

16.01.2022 I’d love to know what I said in this moment to cause bride, Shelley to smile with so much joy! The wonderful John + Shelley were married their way, a surprise at their shared birthday party with their two children each by their side. And yes, it was a 60’s Hippy dress up theme!

16.01.2022 CAMERON + STEVE - oh this wedding had it all! Laughter, tears, story telling, singing + a whole lot of love! From the second, the ceremony commenced, it wowed the guests. Cam + Steve entered together, hand in hand, whilst their good friend + talented musician, Mike sung ‘Time after Time’. I surely wasn’t the only one who got goosebumps + didn’t want Mike to finish singing! Cam’s mother Teena presented a reading which was an original piece by herself, husband + daughter. Thei...r love story was shared before good friend Nicole serenaded us with ‘I Only Want to Be With You’ (how apt!) before we launched into the legal component of this glorious ceremony with further singing following ‘Higher Love’ + concluding with ‘You’ve Got the Love’. I think you’ll agree that Cam + Steve’s music choices could not have been more perfect. The celebrations soon continued under the new pavilion @basilsfarm (such a favourite location of mine). Congrats to Cam + Steve, you’ve certainly Got the Love Photography by the talented @benswinnertonweddings Marriage celebrant - me! @oliviasalkeldcivilcelebrant Venue - @basilsfarm Videographer - Marie Pangaud @ Basils Farm See more

13.01.2022 This was the moment I stepped forward out of the audience, at John + Shelleys combined birthday party, during speeches + declared in my loudest voice Yes! I’m an authorised Marriage Celebrant! I can marry you! And yes I am heavily pregnant in this photo, 39 weeks to be exact and yes I’m in fancy dress - what a hoot! Many celebrants will agree with me, surprise weddings are the best! Anyone agree?

12.01.2022 Stepping into the week ahead with a touch of pure gold! Happy Monday folks, I have a feeling it’s going to be a big week ahead... Beautiful image of Brad + Steph captured by @tony_evans_photo

11.01.2022 Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary to Dave + Laura who celebrated 12 months on the 3/11!! Since marrying, a fur baby isn’t the only baby in their household. Congrats on the arrival of baby Spencer, what a year! Beautiful photography of Sweeter Than Honey Photography

10.01.2022 In recent months I have taken a step back with weddings, not only due to the dreaded C word but due to a blessed 3rd round of maternity leave. Therefore I am instead remembering past weddings, one of which was Danny + Amanda’s, which I recall was a beautiful Autumn day, much like it is today, captured by @enchanted_weddings at one of my fave venues @mtduneedestate

09.01.2022 So thrilled to see the wonderful Patrick + Kira’s wedding day featured!

07.01.2022 REVIEW - Olivia did such an amazing job as our celebrant. She truly captured mine and Barry's personalities and created such a funny and loving ceremony for us! We could not recommend Olivia enough! She made the entire process so easy from pre meetings to rehearsal and then our wedding day. Thank you so much! Barry + Mollie Photography work of the taiented @nicola_stephenson

06.01.2022 REVIEW - Olivia we can not thank you enough for making our dreams come true, we are now Mr and Mrs Newton because of you. As we reflect on our day, everything was just perfect and you were a big part of that. You were so calm and patient, nothing was too much and we never had the worry of how our ceremony would be as you put together the most perfect storey for us and the guests. We had so many of our guests comment on how wonderful you were, the way you spoke and the service you put together. You do an amazing job and make the unknown process for so many I imagine so much easier with your little pack that you provided, we could not recommend you enough to those looking for a celebrant. A beautiful lady who will ease your mind and add a special touch to your special day - Kaden + Sarah Photography of @jakehoganphotography

06.01.2022 Happy 1st wedding anniversary to Warren + Taryn! 12 months since your memorable wedding day @whiterabbit_brewery Enjoy celebrating! Beautiful image by @philipcerbu

03.01.2022 Happy 1 year wedding anniversary to Jack + Hannah!! Such a memorable day celebrating their love in a magical ceremony at the Californian Redwoods in the Otways before they partied on at Wye River. Enjoy celebrating Mr + Mrs Day photography talent of @sweeterthanhoneyaus

01.01.2022 REVIEW - We couldn’t recommend Olivia more highly! She helped us organize our whirlwind wedding in just 7weeks, she was very involved & excited by the prospect of such a short lead up. She texted me regularly giving me countdowns & telling me how many sleeps were left! This meant so much to both of us & it really felt like she was just one of our friends helping! She conducted our ceremony so beautifully, she kept calm & positive despite the crazy wind & the last minute cha...nge of location (due to weather). Our ceremony was so personal & felt like someone who’d known us for years had written it! Thank-you Olivia, we are so incredibly grateful!
