Stories of Love, Everywhere – As Seen in Alive Magazine

Love is a small word that carries a lifetime of meaning.

It’s in the quiet glances, the in-jokes nobody else understands, and the way two people choose each other—again and again.

I was recently honoured to be featured on the Alive Magazine, with a story about my work as a marriage celebrant across pages 4–7. The article, “Stories of Love, Everywhere,” captures what I cherish most: the incredible diversity of real love stories on the Fraser Coast.

Every couple, a one‑of‑a‑kind story

With Lauretta Wright, celebrant of Wright Celebrations, no two ceremonies are ever the same. Your ceremony is not a template; it’s a story. Your story.

I take the time to get to know you. I want to learn how you met, what you’ve overcome, and what you adore (and gently tease!) about one another. From there, I craft a ceremony that feels like you: authentic, warm, relaxed, and filled with moments that make your guests say, “That was so them.”

Whether it’s a barefoot beach wedding, a garden gathering, or a meaningful moment in your own backyard, your ceremony should feel like a natural extension of your relationship, not a performance.

Recognised as an Award-Winning Celebrant – still all about you

I’m honoured to be recognised as the 2025, 2024, 2023 #1 Celebrant in the Wedding Industry Awards for the Fraser Coast and Wide Bay regions.

Awards are wonderful, but what truly matters is what sits behind them: the trust couples place in me and the way their ceremonies make them feel. Those moments of laughter, happy tears, and that deep sense of “this is us” are what I carry with me to every new wedding.

With over 30 years of professional experience and a background as a university lecturer, I bring calm, clarity, and confidence to each ceremony. This way, you can relax and be fully present in the moment.

A celebration of family – including kids and pets

So many couples want their day to reflect their whole life, not just the two of them standing at the front.

That’s why I lovingly welcome:

• Children – as ring bearers, readers, bubble blowers, or simply delightful chaos-makers.

• Pets – from dogs trotting down the aisle to fur-babies appearing in your vows.

  
  

Your ceremony can honour blended families, chosen families, and the people (and animals!) who have shaped your story. Love doesn’t fit neatly into a box, and neither should your ceremony.

Crafting Your Unique Experience

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming. But it can also be a joyful journey. I believe in making this process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

I’ll guide you through every step. From choosing the perfect location to selecting readings that resonate with your love story, I’m here to help.

Imagine standing on the beautiful Fraser Coast, with the sun setting behind you. The sound of waves gently crashing fills the air. Your loved ones surround you, and you’re about to say “I do.” This is the moment we’ll create together.

Your story, told beautifully

If you’re planning your wedding on the Fraser Coast, overseas on K'gari, or Lady Elliot Island, and you’re dreaming of a ceremony that feels personal, relaxed, and meaningful, I would be honoured to help tell your story.

You bring the love. I’ll bring the words.
