Babes, I am fully booked from August 2024 through to May 2025 and only taking on a select number of weddings in late 2025, please reach out early to avoid disappointment.
A little about meWelcome to the home of The Salty Celebrant, settle in and let me tell you a little about myself.
Hey I’m Katie and I’m in the business of love. I’ll start by congratulating you on your engagement as I’m sure that’s why you are here, you are getting married!!! Yeeehaaa! I’ve been the party starter for going on 6 years, married over 250 couples and absolutely adore what I do. I married my person in the summer of 2018 and in 2020 welcomed our beautiful baby girl Goldie, and just recently in August 2023 our second daughter Daphne rounded out our family. Life is busy here in the beautiful south west but it’s certainly never boring, just like your ceremony… it’s going to be packed full of stories of how you met, light hearted moments, maybe a few happy tears and it will end, hands in the air, the hollering of your people over joyed for you as you make your way back down the isle showered in petals as newly weds!

Let me guide you through the process.Book Me!
Planning a wedding ain’t no easy feat, however that’s where I come in! I am your ceremony life raft, here to make sure your ceremony runs silky smooth and reflects the love you have for one another. If this all sounds great to you, head to the bookings tab below, send me an enquiry and lets see if I’m the gal for you!

Step One
First things first – Once you have booked me, we gotta sign some legal mumbo jumbo aka the NOIM (Notice of Intent to Marry). This bad boy is the most important piece of paperwork of them all and needs to be signed and witnessed no later than one month prior to the wedding date.
Photographer Keeper Creative for Lydia and Matt.
Step Two
After we have met, completed the NOIM and gone through all aspects of your ceremony we then keep in touch until we need to amp things up again closer to the wedding date (usually about 6 weeks prior). I’ll then give you some homework. Once I have all the information I need, i’ll send you a draft ceremony, this will be all confirmed the week of the wedding and everything tied up and packaged nicely ready for the big day!

Step Three
Katie, this is great and all but will we have a rehearsal???… Yes babe!!! I always do a rehearsal as close to the day as possible, however if you are having a ceremony far away and I can’t be there in person, i’ll be there over facetime!!(please be aware that there may be a wedding the day prior to yours so rehearsals will need to fit in to my schedule).
Photographer Teneil Kable for Pippa and Scott
Step Four - the getting married part!
Well, the day is finally here, the glam team are heating up those curling irons, the champagne is popped and all those magic indescribable emotions of anticipation, gratitude and so much love have set in. Now all you have to do is enjoy the process and meet me at the venue… ill be the one ready to calm both of your nerves and send you down the isle feeling confident and ready to become newlyweds.

In the words of fellow incredible celebrant - Shannon Jeans “Your celebrant plays an absolutely integral role in creating and holding the space and environment for you to be you. A good one will know when to take the lead and when to step aside and let the romance and intimacy of the moment take over. Experience makes for a better experience.”
