Cairns Marriage Celebrant

Unique Ceremonies and Elopements

Hi, I’m Ali

It is such a joy and an honour to be a part of your wedding day. As a Cairns marriage celebrant, I feel very lucky to have one of the best jobs in the world.

My one-of-a-kind marriage ceremonies are moments of light, happiness and laughter. They are never uptight or boring.

Together I hope we can create a ceremony that is a beautiful representation of the two of you and your relationship. A moment that makes you, your family and guests come away feeling like they have been a part of something very special.

Let’s talk so we can start creating something wonderful together.

May this be the beginning of our friendship and a beautiful journey.

With love,

The ceremony was the best part of our day! Completely perfect and will stay with us forever. Ali provided us with many different options, traditional and non, so we could make the ceremony truly "us". We laughed and cried and with her support, we relaxed. Our wedding was filled with love and laughter. We will be forever grateful to Ali for preparing such a magical ceremony xx

With your gentle guidance we created a ceremony that was simple yet beautiful, encapsulated the essence of our relationship and involved our family in such a lovely way so as to make the day memorable for everyone. Thank you for making our wedding day so special. When I met you I knew you’d make our day fun, relaxed and special. You really delivered. You figured out pretty quickly we wanted a fuss-free wedding that would be meaningful to us and our small group of closest family. Your Planning Guide was so helpful in giving us ideas to make the ceremony extra special and nut out what we did and didn’t want to include. The inclusion of a personalized hand fasting ceremony really got our family involved and created a beautiful keepsake we will treasure forever. Our fur-baby Cookie loved her time in the spotlight as ring bearer. You built such a rapport with her and she was loving her important role in the ceremony. We would recommend you to any couple including their furry friends in the formalities. Most importantly, thank you for going above and beyond. From adjusting the groom’s suit last minute and helping coordinate the music, to getting to know the family, pouring the Champagne and giving so many puppy cuddles to Cookie you really made the day flow seamlessly. When COVID caused us to reschedule you were happy to reset your plans and when we mentioned we wanted a virtual guest you effortlessly involved her in the ceremony. Your professional yet personal approach made everyone feel so comfortable. You made what could have been a very stressful experience, actually a really special day that we enjoyed thoroughly and will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you xox

The most important thing you should know about Ali is that when you are in her presence, she makes you feel like the most important person at that moment in time. I loved everything about our ceremony but if I had to pick one thing, it was the effortless flow of how everything ran so smoothly. Our ceremony was completely tailored to our needs by Ali, she is so easy to work with and very approachable. She made us feel comfortable from the first conversation which is so important when planning a destination wedding. She made the ceremony very lively and engaged our 4 guests beautifully. We felt truly in the zone and in our own love bubble thanks to such a beautiful delivery by her. I also loved that she captured the essence of our relationship and elaborated it like a story. We trusted her and just left everything in her hands while we relaxed into the day and she definitely exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend to anyone who is wanting to have a stress free, relaxed and personalized ceremony to reach out to Ali. Once again thank you so much for looking after us so well on the day.

We were in absolute awe over the way Ali created such a deep and intimate space of magic and love, and we felt like we were totally wrapped up in our own universe where nothing else existed but a beautiful narration of our story. I’ve been watching our wedding video every single day since and Ali has the voice of love which helped create the most magical and emotionally stirring experience. I wish I could relive it over and over again! Ali made the whole pre-wedding process super easy and really enjoyable; from sourcing the perfect spot for us, to helping answer 1000 questions, to actually getting to know us so we had a ceremony that spoke through our love and personalities. We felt a great connection right away and knew that there would be no better fit for our special day.

Ali, you were so fantastic at our wedding, without you, it wouldn't have been the best day of our lives. I cannot even begin to thank you enough. You aced the ceremony. It was SO perfect. You got the tone exactly as we hoped - fun and celebratory and HAPPY! I could barely move my jaw the next day from grinning so much! You are incredible at what you do Ali and anyone who is lucky enough to have you as their Celebrant is in for the most wonderful experience. Never stop! Aside from the ceremony, you were simply brilliant. I honestly couldn't have enjoyed myself as much if you weren't there. Everyone commented on how much fun you were and how excellent you were in bringing the rounds of shots and cocktails - you were a brilliant addition to the party and I am so glad you stayed. Thank you so much. Ali, throughout the planning, the emailing, the week in the run up to the wedding in Koh Tao and during the day itself, you were there for me - I could rely on you to always get back to me quickly with everything I needed and more. I always felt that you gave me your attention and that you were really invested in making our big day the biggest success that it was. Oh Ali, how wonderful was that day! I would so love to relive it again! I can't believe it's done and I'm sitting back in the office, but those memories will last forever. Thank you for being such a big part of them. We love you! Thank you a thousand times Ali. You are truly wonderful. Much love. Harriet & Mike xx

Wow, Where to start Ali…. You are truly amazing!!! We couldn't have pulled off the "wedding of the year" with out you. Everything was so easy from our end as you made every little detail come to life. Nothing was ever too much trouble from communication to the finest details. You listened to exactly the type and feel of wedding we wanted and left nothing for us to worry about except turning up on the day. The ceremony was just Beautiful. It was presented in a unique and personal way that produced love laughter and even a few tears. It really captured the hearts of our family and friends. Every one felt as though they were apart of our love story. We are still getting comments from people saying they can't believe how personal, meaningful and well delivered the ceremony was. Your passion for people, love and your career really shows. When we asked to include a Thai water blessing in our ceremony we didn't expect a torrential down pour. Without your quick thinking and professionalism it could have easily ruined our perfect day. Instead, it just added to the wonderful memories. Within minutes you were able to have our family and friends under shelter, dry (even if they did look like big yellow bananas) and sipping on a coldie, nibbling canapés and laughing about our luck. I can't believe how calm and organized you were the whole day. I don't know how but you just made everything work. And what can say not many brides get to walk down the aisle twice in one day. I felt like the calmest bride in the world and we had nothing but Fun, it truly was a celebration of love. Lets not forget about the combined Hens and Bucks boat party. It was an absolute blast!! What a fun day!! Again we could not have done this without you, Thank you for organizing absolutely everything. So not only did you plan our wedding day from ceremony to the reception and everything in between you also organized our hens and bucks.…… nothing was ever too hard for you, You went above and beyond in every way. I would also just like to thank you for finding the best Hair and Make up Artist. I had a wonderful time getting ready with the team, bridesmaids and my Mum. I will treasure those memories forever. Words really cant Thank you enough!! I really don’t know what else we can say except “We F....ing Love you Ali!!” (in joke of the day) Natalie and Toby xo
