Modern Sydney Celebrant

Phoebe and Ryan get married at Taronga Zoo, Sydney Phoebe and Ryan were thrilled with every aspect of their Taronga Zoo wedding in Sydney, but what they loved most was their marriage ceremony performed by modern Sydney celebrant Laura Craddock. "Laura was very professional to work with, but, most importantly, so personable, relaxed, warm, and accommodating. So many of our guests asked us how we found Laura - in fact, we'd witnessed our friends be married by Laura last year, and knew we'd love to have her marry us - Laura really makes the ceremony personal. Our guests commented that they really enjoyed the ceremony - it was fun, and really personalised." Giraffes look on as Phoebe and Ryan say 'I Do' "Whilst Laura's happy to be guided by your wishes and vision for the day, she also has plenty of suggestions and options if you just don't know where to start with everything. Laura really captured our relationship and co...

The threat of rain didn't dampen the spirits at Emily and Rafael's gorgeous harbour-side wedding in Mosman, Sydney. The handsome groom was excited and a tad nervous waiting for his gorgeous bride to arrive. Her stunning entry down the steps of Bradley's Head Amphitheatre.   Bradley's Head Amphitheatre is one of my favourite wedding venues in Sydney. Access can be a little tricky with limited on-site parking, but the dramatic harbour views are well worth the effort. The sloped, grassy amphitheatre is surrounded by bushland and cliffs, providing a very intimate and private location - the perfect spot for a Sydney wedding. Wedding guests face the sparkling blue harbour ( almost at water-level) and look out at passing boats and iconic views of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The ceremony went off without a hitch . Emily and Rafael chose lovely readings and lots of personal details that had guests laughing and crying. T he couple excha...

Andrew and Timmy flew half-way around the world to fulfill their dream to get married on an Australian beach. Collins Flat Beach in Manly provided a private and intimate setting for a wedding that was filled with both laughter and tears. As their celebrant, Laura Craddock made it for Timmy and Andrew to plan their Sydney wedding from afar.  "Laura maintained a personal, friendly and highly organised manner throughout the wedding planning, through flexible skype video calls to London and a preparation meeting with us in Sydney" the couple said. Laura guided the UK couple through all the legal paperwork. Her comprehensive Marriage Ceremony Information Pack took Timmy and Andrew step-by-step through the ceremony planning process. The result was a simple, happy and relaxed wedding that met all of the couple's high expectations. Their close family and friends all enjoyed the happy occasion.  "[Laura] kept us calm at all times and we couldn't have asked for ...

Jess and Aaron's baking, beach-side wedding The temperature was pushing 46 degrees (the hottest Sydney-day on record) but everyone forgot about the heat as the gorgeous Jess walked down a petal-strewn aisle at scenic Long Reef Golf Club. Civil celebrant, Laura Craddock helped to calm and distract a nervous groom. Aaron shed a tear as his beautiful bride walked down the aisle, but once Jess was by his side Aaron was the happiest man alive. Family and friends cheered on as Aaron and Jess committed to each other for the rest of their lives together.  The  simple, yet meaningful civil marriage ceremony was just what the couple wanted. "Aaron and I wanted to thank you again. We both had an amazing day and appreciated how easy you made the process of planning and performing the ceremony." Jess said.  Jonathan David Photography was there to capture all the joy and emotion of the their wedding day.

"Laura is an exceptionally professional and lovely person. She used her humour and understanding to help us design exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. On the day she was cool, calm and collected (even though the Bride and Groom got lost en route!). She thought of every detail; from printing out my mother's readings on special paper as a keepsake to having a hanky ready just when I needed it most. The ceremony was beautiful and I would not have changed a thing. She also helped educate us about the documentation process and she put us at ease about the international nature of our union. I highly recommend Laura Craddock!" - Sara & Andrew, October 2010 (Laura Craddock - Civil Celebrant, Marrickville ) Laura Craddock is a modern civil celebrant based in Marrickville, in Sydney's inner-west.
