Deana the Celebrant

This place. Honestly. 😍

The Manor in the Adelaide Hills is giving castle vibes in the very best possible way, and it is easy to see why they took out the 2025 ABIA award for Reception Venue ✨

It is grand, romantic, a little bit magical, and such a beautiful spot to celebrate such a huge moment.

I never get tired of walking into gorgeous venues like this and thinking yep… this is going to be a good one 🤍

Venue:

Even the rain couldn’t stop the smiles ☔️🤍

Kim and Peter’s day at Stangate House and Garden in Aldgate was surrounded by so much love. It had the most beautiful non-traditional vibe - a little bit festival, a little bit magic, and completely them.

One of my favourite lines from Kim’s vows:
“To truly love someone is to see every side of them once the walls come down, and still choose them, again and again.”

A really sweet day for two absolutely beautiful humans ✨

✨ Current status: Still alive. Still marrying people. Just very bad at posting about it. ✨
Apparently, when you’re busy creating epic love stories, you forget to tell Facebook about it… who knew? 🤷‍♀️
From “I do’s” in summer sunshine to winter aisle walks, I’ve been a little celebrant whirlwind.
So, buckle up — I’ve got a backlog of gorgeous ceremonies, sweet reviews, and happy tears to share with you, stay tuned.
Consider this your friendly reminder that I am very much here, still loving what I do… just terrible at keeping my socials fed. 🥂💍

✨Rebecca & Phillip✨
What a perfect way to welcome the first day of winter — sunshine beaming down, hearts full, and love in the air at the stunning Stamford Grand Glenelg.

Rebecca and Phillip, you two were an absolute joy — finally hitched after 19 long years. Thank you for letting me play a small part in something so special 💛

A massive shoutout to TB Photography & Videography — hands down one of the most professional, kind, and downright lovely creative teams I’ve ever had the pleasure of working alongside. You captured every moment so beautifully and made the entire day feel effortless.

So grateful to have shared this day with such a dream team ✨

SA represents at the TCS Celebrant Conference in Sydney! Much fun was had and I can't wait to do it all again next year! SA couples looking to get married, you're in safe (and fun) hands with this bunch!

Adelaide Entertainment Centre - April Wedding Expo 2025! ✨💕

I had an absolute blast at the Wedding Expo last Sunday ✨— meeting so many beautiful new couples, catching up with some of my gorgeous current couples (love seeing you all!), and reconnecting with some of my favourite vendors who always bring the best vibes. 💕 I honestly can’t believe it’s already been almost a week — time really does fly when you’re doing what you love! 🥰 Feeling so grateful, excited, and beyond pumped for all the love stories still to come. Just a little heads up — Saturdays for 2026 are filling fast! If you’re thinking of booking or even just wanting to check if your date is still available, please reach out soon. I'd absolutely love to hear from you! 💌 #adelaideweddingexpo #weddingseason❤️ #celebrantlife #lovestories #weddingınspo #adelaidecelebrant #deanathecelebrant

🌈 Spotted: girl of my dreams… somewhere on Deck 7. 🛳️⚓️ Courtney saw Hayley once on a cruise ship — and that was all it took. She spent the rest of the trip scanning the decks with a tiny pair of binoculars she bought especially to find her again (yes, really!). And against all odds, she did 💛. That moment sparked the beginning of a love story full of warmth, laughter, and pure heart — and in February, I had the incredible honour of officiating their wedding. Surrounded by the people who love them most, Courtney and Hayley promised each other forever. Their ceremony was overflowing with love, emotion, and the kind of connection that makes you believe in serendipity. Thank you, C & H, for trusting me with such a special day. It was an absolute privilege 💍⚓ #loveislove🌈 #adelaidecelebrant #deanathecelebrant #cruiseshiplove #justmarried❤️ The day was made even more special thanks to the dream team: 💒@quincebrook_weddings 🍕@adelaidewoodfiredpizza 💄@colouredlipsmakeup (Hayley) 💄@samie_blush (Courtney) 🐶@sillywagz_bridalpups 📸@hannahbenwellphotography 🎥@spt_photography.bnw 🎀@tashissalon 👗@jennyandgerrys

Happy Anniversary to Abbey & Reagan!

One year ago today, they made it official and said ‘I do’ with their gorgeous little girls right by their side.
Wishing your beautiful family a day full of love, laughter, and celebrations! Cheers to many more!

Burbrook Forest, or should we say Butterfly Forest? Monarchs fill the air, creating a breathtaking backdrop-pure enchantment.
Towering trees, dappled light, and a sense of magic in every corner-this place is straight out of a fairytale. It’s the perfect setting for love stories to unfold. If you’re looking for a venue that feels like a dream, this is it. 🦋✨

What an amazing way to kick off 2025 with my first wedding of the year - and my first beach wedding ever!

My couple said “I do” surrounded by the sound of waves, soft sand beneath their feet, and a most stunning ocean backdrop. Their love story was as magical as the setting, and I feel so honoured to have been part of their unforgettable day.

Here’s to more firsts and more love stories in 2025!
