Modern Sydney Celebrant

Steve and Mez  I first met Steve and Mez via Skype as they began to arrange their Australian marriage celebrations from overseas. Months of planning and organisation all came to a perfect conclusion as family and friends gathered in the Hunter Valley to celebrate with the gorgeous couple.

This 'free range wedding' was great fun to be a part of. Alex and Tom met each other (and their guests) at the NSW Art Gallery, then together we all wandered down to the Botanic Gardens for an intimate ceremony in the Herb Garden. This set the tone for a warm, relaxed ceremony and a wonderful celebration of love. "We were really pleased and happy with you as our celebrant, you did a wonderful job." - Tom & Alex Ceremony performed by Modern Sydney Celebrant , Laura Craddock.

Christine and Paul's wedding day had lots of personal touches ranging from spiritual to humorous. Fantastic Jazz music set the tone for their special day as friends and family gathered to celebrate. The ceremony felt very warm and intimate. For the Unity Bowl ritual each guest was asked to bring along a precious object - a crystal, stone or fossilized wood for example. During the ceremony family and friends placed offerings within a beautiful glass bowl, and expressed their wishes for the happy couple and their future together. The different objects within the Unity Bowl symbolised the many different colours, shapes and energies of love. At the end, Christine and Paul had a very beautiful memento to keep and remind them of their wedding. The couple were joined together in matrimony using a Celtic handfasting ritual.

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.
