As a marriage celebrant in beautiful Coffs Harbour, easily one of the most powerful and truly emotive moments is the giving away of a beautiful bride or partner. There’s nothing quite like it. Of course, not all couples opt for a giving away, but when they do, it is such a special moment to witness. Whether it’s the bride’s or partners father, mother, grandparents, siblings, or children walking down the aisle arm in arm signals the start of a magical experience.

It’s hard not to get caught up in the emotion of the giving away, I do try my best, but all it takes is one look at their face beaming with pride and that’s all I need to realise I am truly part of something special. As a father of two girls, my day will come I am sure – and yes I will be a blubbering mess as I too will walk down the aisle one day with my daughters. I do remind them though there’s no hurry!

This is a beautiful photo that Fiona shared with me from their wedding last weekend. I look at the smile on Fiona’s Dad’s face and I think to myself, what an honour it is to be a marriage celebrant. A marriage celebrant that still knows how to ease any nerves, yet respecting the tradition of giving the bride away and cherishing every moment along the way.

Love my job!

  • Hi Simon, we are on our honeymoon and remembering our wedding day. We cannot thank you enough for all that you did in making our ceremony special to us and the best everyone else has witnessed. Particularly our parents who doubted our decision for a civil celebrant – they loved every part of it! You exceeded our expectation and made us feel like we have known you all our lives. You calmed me and guided us all to make it a beautiful ceremony. Again, it was a great pleasure to have met you and shared the day with you.
