Gabrielle is a Wollongong based marriage celebrant dedicated to creating memorable ceremonies that reflect your love and individuality. She is incredibly skilled in creating a personalised wedding experience and in public speaking, perfect for your special day! Whether you are celebrating your wedding day with a cast of hundreds, an intimate occasion or a romantic destination elopement, your marriage ceremony and the preparations will be stress-free, fun and memorable for all the right reasons! And don’t worry if you haven’t looked into the legal process of getting married, Gabi will cover all the bases in the initial phone call or meeting.
“My attention to detail, combined with my experience in scriptwriting, managing ceremonies, public speaking, and event coordination (a role I also fulfill at Nan Tien Temple), ensures that you receive the highest quality service. Let’s chat about your plans and within moments I will share ways to enhance your wedding ceremony. No boring weddings here! The planning stage is the fun part. And what’s my vibe? I like to think of myself as colourfully coordinated, open to fresh and creative approaches to ceremonies, and always ready with a clever pun or two. I’m also a storyteller at heart—so no detail is too juicy for me (no really).
Have you ever met someone who immediately put you at ease? Where conversations flowed effortlessly, sparking ideas and excitement? That’s me! I take the time to get to know every single one of my couples, so when it comes to writing up your ceremony, it feels like I am writing a ceremony for friends I have known for years.
And don’t worry about your guests getting fidgety waiting for the ceremony to end. With my ceremonies, they are one of the best parts of the wedding. I take the time to carefully craft every word of your ceremony until you are 100% happy with script so you always know you are in safe hands, and it reflects who you both are effortlessly. I love the scripting part because I love words and how they carry meaning and influence our emotions.”

“Gabrielle is an absolute gem. From the moment we met with her, my husband and I felt so taken care of. Gabrielle’s genuine love of love shone through and we felt that she was sincerely excited to be a part of our marriage. Gabrielle was thorough and took every step imaginable to ensure the lead up and the ceremony was a smooth process, and she adapted very well to our last minute wet weather change. She spoke beautifully and eloquently and struck a perfect balance of light heartedness and romance. There was such a positive interaction with everyone – we had so many guests comment to us throughout the night how wonderful she was, and how beautiful the whole ceremony was.” Sarah and Tony, July 2024.
