The biggest thing to note about this season, is that all the postponed weddings from early 2020 were re-scheduled to late 2020 and early 2021. Fitting these in, alongside new bookings, made for one very busy season.

Here is the next chapter in my Celebrant Memoirs — that of my 2018-19 season which kicked off with four weddings on August 4…

Wedding Season 2017-18: Let’s Break Some Traditional Wedding Rules!

elope in Margaret River Celebrant Anita RevelNormally I can rely on a three month lull during winter to head overseas and enjoy some sunshine… Not this year! Wedding season launched with a spectacular winter wedding, and has just kept rolling along.

It appears traditional wedding rules are gearing up to be broken by couples prepared to think outside the box. Yay!

I do love every single wedding I do, and so that I’ll remember (and cherish) them all forever, I write down my impressions and recollections of ceremonies I’ve conducted. Here are my stories from my 2017-18 season…

wedding season 2016-17

celebrant margaret river anita revelWedding season normally starts off with a trickle in September and ending in May. This season, however, I came home from my three months off, and hit the ground running with four weddings and a funeral — literally — in my first week home. So it appears no season is ever the same, (which is a good thing — it keeps things interesting!)
