Your day, your way.

 

Hello! My name is Beth, and I’m

a Civil Celebrant located in lutruwita / Tasmania.

If you want a kick-arse, non-traditional wedding that is fun, funny, inclusive, personal, memorable and just a rollicking good time - you’re in the right place! My favourite part of my job is getting to know who you are + what you value, to ensure your ceremony represents you absolutely perfectly. Your mates will be wondering if we’re old friends - and that’s how we like it!

So, what’s all the feminism about? I’m a card-carrying feminist (yes, they give us cards, to ward off the misogynists). It’s how I live my life, it’s what I believe in, and you bet I’m not leaving that at the door. Marriage has a chequered history (it was often about ownership - eww), and I like to think it’s my job to push the tradition of marriage + the wedding industry itself in a more progressive direction. If that means forgoing antiquated traditions (umm, yes please): great, let’s do it! Does that mean I’ll judge you for wanting your father-figure to escort you down the aisle? Absolutely not! Feminism is about choice. You should do whatever the bloody hell you want to do!

I believe in enoughness*, and making do, and I believe we should stay truly connected to our values. Sometimes we get to planning our wedding day and we throw all of that in the bin - but I don’t think we should. Your wedding day should be an accurate representation of who you are and what you care about. Don’t give anyone else a second thought - this is about the two of you, and what YOU want.

*I stole this term from my friend Jane. It’s a bloody good one!

Wondering if we’ll get along?

I’m a mid-30s mother of three, a feminist, a web designer, currently working in the building design industry. I like to sew, I occasionally brew fruit wine, I love Scrabble + reading, and my mum thinks I’m hilarious on Instagram.

If that sounds like someone you’d like standing beside you on your wedding day, slide on over here and let’s meet to ensure I’m the right celebrant for you.
