Get In Touch
K❤️S
You never really quite know where love will find you sometimes. It’s not planned or prompted. It just happens.
But it happened at gazebo 4 for these two and that’s exactly where they married!!
Small Ceremony!! Big moment.
Supported by their nearest and dearest, celebrating with them, laughing with them, congratulating them, their love and their future!
A short and sweet done perfectly.
I Bloody love a good wedding reception. Give me the speeches, the dance floor and damn good time!
But can we give the ceremony a little love too?
It’s the part where you actually get married! The vows, the laughs, the happy tears and all your favourite people watching it happen.
And with a little thought and planning, it can be one of the best parts of the whole day.
That’s my Sweet Spot. ❤️

I love a bit of tradition around here, but that doesn’t mean you have to do ALL the traditions! 🥂and that is coming from a Toowoomba Marriage Celebrant!!!!
There are a few legal bits we can’t change, but everything else? You’ve got options, baby!
And if you don’t know what those options are, that’s where I come in!
A little modern, a little tradish. We’ll find your sweet spot! 🤍

I’ve been called a few things this wedding season and honestly, some of them have had me in stitches. 😂
From being asked if I was the florist to becoming someone’s built-in wedding bestie, there’s never a dull moment.
And while Sez isn’t quite my name, I’ll take it. HAHA.
But seriously, getting to know my couples and being part of such a bloody exciting time in their lives is pretty special.
Whatever you call me, just know I’ve gotcha. 🫶

Are all married up, and what a beautiful couple!
Nestled out at the beautiful Cliffdale, there was a warm welcoming feel to this wedding.
These two are big on their family. They love ‘em and you could tell. The ceremony felt like a big warm hug celebrating what makes them such a great couple.
It was such a special day!!
Another dream team of wedding professionals to bring it all home for them.

Who said you need to have to have an actual Big Wedding Day?
G❤️H
Had a special little moment with two friends getting married. We had cake, champers and cupcakes!!! I was so lucky to be a part of this little big moment! The giggles, the smiles and even some tears. All worth it.
The best part - these two will have a BIG party in Melbourne with family and friends and then another BIG wedding party in Turkey!!!
Have fun you two. Can’t wait for part 2 & 3!!
K❤️M
The Dairy, Ravensbourne. 200 guests, all in black formal, giving main character energy.
Then there’s the Kate and her girls in all white glamour.
This ceremony was an absolute VIBE I tell ya!!
The energy was Big, The Laughs were high, and of course we stitched up one groomsmen! Benny can you please bring over the rings?!? 🤭
Hope there’s video footage of it!!
There’s a bit that happens between booking me and actually getting married! 🥂
And I reckon you should know what you’re signing up for!
I have a whole process that takes us from that first chat, through all the planning, right up to the big day itself.
We’ll chat, throw some ideas around, work out what you love (and what you don’t!) and I’ll bring it all together.
Nothing complicated, nothing overwhelming. Just plenty of guidance, a few laughs along the way and one bloody good ceremony at the end of it!
Sounds pretty good, hey?!
If you’re planning your wedding and looking for a celebrant who’s going to take the lead without taking over, I’d love to chat!
Just DM me. 🤍
I mean, LOOK at that view! 😍
I’m a sucker for a gorgeous ceremony setup, but you know what I love even more?
When my couples have an absolute ball getting married.
A few laughs, a few happy tears, a little bit tradish and all their favourite people right there with them.
And here’s something I wish more couples knew…
You don’t need to have the whole ceremony figured out before you book your celebrant!
That’s what I’m here for.
We’ll chat, throw ideas around, work out what you love (and what you absolutely don’t) and put together something pretty bloody special.
Because the ceremony isn’t just the bit before the drinks start flowing.
It’s the bit where you GET MARRIED!
And I reckon that’s worth getting excited about. 🤍
Hell yes, we can mix modern and tradish into your ceremony!!!
Because having a few of those tradish elements really makes ya feel!!
We are going to go through each element and work out what means the most to you, and why!
So maybe you do want to say “I do”, but maybe ‘for richer for poorer’ isn’t your thing. We can work with that…..
Would you want an asking (the I do bit) in your ceremony?
C❤️R
You were a joy to marry!!!!
Your ceremony was filled with love, laughs and whole lotta stories!
The beautiful backyard was lit up filled with the tunes of the violin, photos, heart and meaning totally suited you both to a tee. With the little tradish elements we put in it couldn’t have gone any better!!
Tripping down memory lane and seeing all your photos was a personal touch no amount of anything could replace.
Hands down impressed with your shoe choice Catherine! #converse
We found that sweet spot alright!!!!
J ❤️ D
Are married!!!!
Seriously! What a ceremony!
From tears, laughs, vow roulette of 🔥 fireball, the wind blowing away the actual vows and the sweetest family certificate moment and a ‘stolen pen’ these two took it all in their stride and had the best day ever!!!
Honestly…. It’s why I love what I do!
Have the best adventures you two, many more kitchen dances and scrabble comps. D, I know one day you’ll take out the putt putt god!!
If you’re looking for a tranquil place to have your ceremony. Then consider Peacehaven Park in Highfields.
Nature, wildlife, beautiful native gardens and a view from the rotunda!
Even better there is a path from the car park straight to here. So a perfect aisle entrance, wide open spaces, toilet facilities and close to a restaurant or cafes depending on your guest numbers!
All things a celebrant scopes out.
Recently, I popped into to see Tani from @_darlingaura_ who has a beautiful calming treatment space @selffstudio!! We chatted about how reiki and kinesiology can help you when feeling stressed and overwhelmed when planning a wedding.
So if you’re feeling all the things now you’ve added planning a wedding into your crazy, hectic, busy life. Consider some natural healing, self care and ultimate relaxation with Tani.

This is what I want my couples to say.
Because this didn’t just happen on their wedding day.
We started with what they actually wanted. Nothing huge or over the top. They wanted it light, happy, a little lower key and definitely not cringe.
Perfect. We can do that.
Then we worked it out together.
What do we want to keep?
What don’t we care about?
How are the vows going to work?
What’s actually going to happen up there?
I gave them advice, helped them with their vows, answered all the random questions along the way and took care of the legal stuff.
Then I went away and pulled it all together.
So when the wedding day came, there wasn’t anything left for them to work out.
I knew what we were doing.
They knew what we were doing.
And we’d found that sweet spot between “yep, this is actually our wedding” and “please don’t make this a whole bloody production.” 😂
Then they just got to enjoy it.
And THAT is the process.
We don’t start with me writing you a ceremony.
We work out what you actually want first.
Then I make it happen. ⭐️
You don’t need to know exactly what you want your ceremony to look like before we chat.
Honestly, knowing how you want it to **feel** is a bloody good place to start.
Then we’ll chat through the options, keep the tradish bits you love, ditch the stuff you don’t, throw some other ideas around and figure out what works for you two.
That’s the sweet spot 🤌🏼
And yep, finding it together is literally part of my job.
#toowoombacelebrant #toowoombaweddings
A sunny winter arvo, spent with their nearest and dearest P & B tied the knot!! ❤️
They were both pretty nervous about planning the ceremony, but after our meeting they were excited and knew exactly what they wanted.
Then came the answers to my questions, honestly they read like a love letter. It was pretty clear, these two are soul mates.
We went through every emotion during the ceremony. Plenty of laughs, and at one point there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
Loved marrying these two 💛

It’s all in the questions. And I won’t lie. I do ask a lot. Whether you answer them all, is entirely up to you. But the more you answer, the better your ceremony. The better your story. The more personal we make it.
It’s going to feel like I’ve known you for a really long time, and isn’t that what we are trying to accomplish?!
#toowoombacelebrant #marriagecelebrant #darlingdownweddings #celebrantlife
Not chic? Well, I can do the odd lil video here and there, but like it’s not my jam!
What I do think is chic RN? Sitting down with me at a cafe or bar and chatting all things ceremony!!!
We get all the things you don’t like from previous weddings you’ve been too and chuck them in the bin. And take all the things you love and more and put that in! Oh so chic…..
Bye bye Stuffy
Hello Remix!!
Seriously…..😦
After I say my goodbyes and leave with a selfie, it’s likely I won’t see you again.
And that truly makes me sad. ☹️
We have become friends and it makes me well up thinking I won’t hear how you’re doing!!!
So please keep in touch! Let me stalk you on socials. So I can keep up to date with you in married life! 💁🏼♀️🩷#toowoombacelebrant #marriagecelebrant #darlingdownweddings #celebrantlife
You love some of the tradish elements of a ceremony. You want to say “ I do” You know your marriage is important. But you don’t want it to feel stuffy or sound like a lecture.
Why can’t we cut the cake right after you’ve signed the certificates? Bring it out at cocktail and canapé hour?!
Why can’t we sign the certificates after the ceremony and do private vows?
Why can’t you have someone you love tell your story?!
Why can’t you have your own “I do”?
Yeah. There is NO reason actually! So let’s!!!!
We just plan, plan and plan!!
If you have ideas I wanna hear them!!!!!
#toowoombacelebrant #marriagecelebrant #darlingdownweddings
I love a classic, romantic, tradish element of a wedding ceremony! But let’s face it…. No one wants a lecture…. Especially from me!!!
I’m here to blend the timeless meaning of your marriage in to your love story!
Stiff and Boring? Nope.
Warm and memorable? Yes!!!!
Get excited……
And get in touch via DM!
#toowoombacelebrant #marriagecelebrant #darlingdownweddings #toowoombaweddings #celebrantlife
❤️ N & B ❤️
Oh how beautiful this ceremony was.
And I can finally share, as the cats out the bag!!! They kept this secret tight!
Everything about these two oozes the importance of love, family life and giving their kids the best life. They did family vows, and a family certificate for them all to sign.
The moment their son said “mummy you have the same last name as me now” and cried will forever be etched in my mind.
It’s these moments, that become my memories and stories and I get to share with everyone and smile.
Congratulations you two! Enjoy telling everyone you’re married 😊

@brooke.lees ☺️ designed her dress and it was STUNNING.
What “feels like you” actually means…
It’s not just swapping your names into a script and calling it personalised.
It’s me digging into the good stuff.
The stories you don’t think matter. The little habits. The inside jokes. The way you talk about each other. The random things that make your relationship yours.
I’m not just asking how you met, I’m finding out why you chose each other.
I’m listening for the moments that make me go, “Yep… that’s them.”
Because your ceremony shouldn’t just tell people what happened. It should show people who you are together.
Not a Pinterest-perfect version. Not a copy-and-paste love story.
Just you two the laughs, the quirks, the chaos, the love, and all the little things that make your relationship yours.
#toowoombacelebrant #toowoombaweddings #marriagecelebrant
Vibe chats. I love ‘em!!! Don’t be scared to have one!
Who knows where they’ll end up. I’ve had ones that have gone for 5 minutes and some that have gone for well over an hour!
All chats are locked in a vault, so chat away!
DM me if you’re a Toowoomba engaged couple looking for a celebrant.
#toowoombacelebrant #darlingdownweddings #celebrantlife
Some couples choose not to have an arbour, and that’s OK!
The scene can be set by the beautiful lush backdrop of the gardens in Toowoomba’s Queens Park Botanical Gardens.
Whether or not you decide on an arbour is total personal preference, the day will still be equally as beautiful. Just you both. Standing. Holding hands. Immersed in each other’s love, comfort and excitement!
No amount of wood, plinth, flower or drapery can take away from that moment. The moment you lock eyes, smile, and realise - this is it. ❤️

Who does she want to marry?
The couples who don’t take themselves too seriously but are serious about getting married. They know what it takes and what their why is.
They want a relaxed ceremony and reception with lil snippets of the tradish elements. They want to laugh and love and cook bread make their own butter and then run out of time haha!
They want a beer/wine or cocktail with their family and friends coz they’re their hearts, either at home or around the campfire.
They love a good time, and they want their peeps to have that with them!
There’s a few other reasons!!
I always got “in trouble” wherever I worked for talking too much. Even at school. My teachers would say “Samantha talks too much” blah blah blah - look at me now!!!
Everyone naturally chats to me. So it’s not always my fault!
Also. It’s pretty cool to know that my name is on people marriages certificates and I’m basically writing history 🤭
As a celebrant I see and hear lots of opinions on this topic!
Equally, each couple has their own take and most will lean into an ‘unplugged’ ceremony space. Asking guests to put their phones away and be fully present during the ceremony! They’ve more than likely spent a lot on a talented photographer/videographer.
Of course, it’s completely couple dependent on which way they go. I’d hazard a guess every couple will have considered each of the pros and cons for it, and will have a firm grasp of what they want for their ceremony.
Think:
• seeing phones instead of faces when you walk down the aisle. 🫤
• not being tagged in crappy blurry uncle photos 🫣🤭
• guests are mentally somewhere else. 🫠
• seeing phones in your ceremony pictures. 😬
But….
• candid photos can sometimes be really beautiful! 🤩
• family and friends can follow along 🙌
• you may get some great videos. 👌
• your budget doesn’t allow for a photographer/videographer/content creator 🧐
Either way, the choice is yours!
Tell me - do you have a preference?
As this wedding season slowly comes to an end, I want to say thank you to all my couples who’ve trusted me this season. It’s been a pleasure!
Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec - WOW - you are coming in HOT, So many ceremony planning sessions are coming up, so many words to write, so many vows to read and I’m so here for it. We are going to rock this!!!!
If you haven’t already booked; as of Monday 11th May, my prices will increase. This is to reflect the heart and soul I put into you, my carefully crafted ceremonies, and the service I provide to you.
❤️
I was today years old learning this cool function in my DM’s. Look social media isn’t a strong point of mine. Ok let’s be honest, it’s a super weak point. But this is a cool feature!
So needless to say I’ll be voice messaging everyone from now on, and feel free to voice DM me.
I wanna hear it all! 🤭
Shout out to my beautiful roadie and dress carrier, @chelseakatemagee Chelsea today!
Sometimes a gal needs a gal pal especially for the road trip hitches!!!
You can bet your bottom dollar, we laughed, we ate, we started a podcast, and three new businesses, solved murder mystery’s, basically put every politician on notice with our own ways of running Aus. We also solved inflation, the school curriculum, and sang some songs!
The convo’s were on fire!
Back from an Easter break and wow… no service was a shock to the system 😅📵
All enquiries have now been responded to, thank you for your patience while I soaked up some much-needed downtime 🤍
If you’ve been waiting to chat about your ceremony, check your phone I’ve called you! I can’t wait to connect!
Backyard weddings just hit different. 🌿
No big venue rules.
No fuss.
Just a beautiful garden, your favourite people, kids running around, the dog making an appearance, the rustling of the trees you might have climbed as a child! Then insert a ceremony that actually feels like you.
Private property weddings have the best vibe — relaxed, personal, and full of heart. And honestly… I’m here for it.
Not me rehearsing your ceremony like I’m headlining a world tour!
Reading it again.
Tweaking the pauses.
Practising your names.
Making sure every word flows and feels natural, not scripted.
Because when it comes to your wedding ceremony, I don’t wing it.
I rehearse it.
So on the day? I’m calm, confident, and completely present.
Romance? Yes.
Vows? Obviously.
Government paperwork? Also yes.
Behind every beautiful Toowoomba wedding is a celebrant making sure the legal marriage requirements in Australia are done properly, from the Notice of Intended Marriage to the final registration.
Sexy? Maybe not.
Important? Absolutely.

Someone once told me less is more…
Which is ironic, because I can talk a glass eye to sleep.
But when it comes to wedding ceremonies?
I’m ruthless.
If it doesn’t mean something - it’s out.
If it doesn’t sound like you - it’s gone.
If it feels forced - we’re not doing it.
Simple. Personal. Powerful.
Modern wedding ceremonies for couples who want it to feel like them, especially here in Toowoomba and across the Darling Downs 🤍

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I’m a crap photographer! I don’t think it really mattered to be honest, because @prestonmanorandvillagechapel is stunning.
It was such a treat to head out to this venue today.
It’s another of Toowoomba’s Wedding and Event Venues that really got me hook, line & sinker. Especially the Chapel! Ooo because it’s a nice place for a white wedding!!!!! It was crisp white and black! My fave!!!
With views for days, each space has been designed to capture the picturesque backdrop and The Lawn is beautifully landscaped with impressive palm trees and lights!
A beautiful place to say I Do (if you want to say that of course😉)
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Book your key vendors early to avoid disappointment.
I’ve had so many enquiries for the same dates and it’s a killer to say no. With only a few Saturdays a month, and fewer for peak season you need to be sorted, not rushed. Allowing time to chat and find your dream team.
Venue first (that will determine your date) THEN
Celebrant/Photographer/Videographer.
MY WEBSITE IS LIVE! 🍾 www.samanthajaynecelebrant.com.au
Jump on, have a peep, stalk it, share it, contact me, book me, talk about me, judge it - I don’t care!! But tell me what you think!! I’m sooo excited!! 😜
@littlepigconsulting nailed this website and I cannot recommend getting the pigs to do your website enough!!! The process was so easy - they listened and got my vibe straight up! Such a team! Thanks little pigs! 🐷
If you haven’t already - you NEED to secure your celebrant for 2026 AND 2027 now.
Dates are filling up fast, so to avoid disappointment later secure one now.
Look for a celebrant who aligns with you, vibes with you, makes you feel happy, and works with intention!
You’ll build a ceremony that sets the tone for the day with your celebrant, so don’t be afraid to interview them! Ask them everything - most of the time, we love a good chinwag so will be more than happy to catch up over a coffee or drink!
Happy Celebrant Hunt!
My recent visit to Cliffdale Highlands Wedding Venue gave me all the feels!
Now I know, I’m a crap photographer. (I know my strengths, I get caught up in views and chats) but the owners are truly the kindest souls! I felt their welcoming presence as soon as I got out of my car. I’m not joking when I say even their pets were calm and welcoming! Insert pats to dogs, horses, and cows and views for days! And even their geese (who just rocked up) welcomed me in!
This place is a blank canvas for you to build a wedding how you want - complete with Highland Cows in the backdrop.
With multiple locations for ceremony, reception, photos you won’t be disappointed, popping over and checking this place out.
One thing I didn’t get a photo of, the old barn. And what a twit! It’s got hanging lights and an old blue Ute - but I can’t give everything away can I?. You’ll have to check it for yourself!
Thanks Cliffdale - I’ll be out to visit again and again and again!
@cliffdalehighlands
My values that shape your ceremony.
🤙Authentic - I’m real and use all the real stuff.
🫶 From the heart - crafted with care and intention.
👏 Fun and joyful - weddings should feel good.
🤲 Calm - I’ll guide you so your ready and supported
🤝 Inclusive - love is love baby!
🙏 Professional - as always.
This is my promise to every couple I stand beside.
With you, about you, your way! ☺️
5 things I won’t do as your Celebrant.
1. Stand in your fist kiss photo! I’ll dive if I have to! 🤿
2. Make the ceremony about me! It’s your day lovers! ❤️
3. Leave you legally unmarried. That’s unacceptable. 😱
4. Say: “we gather here today” - unless you really want me to. 😑
5. Wear a boring 🥱 outfit. I’ll colour code for sure! 👍
I'm so glad you found me, a marriage celebrant based on the Darling Downs booking 2026/2027 weddings, and soon to be your wedding third wheel!
I create ceremonies, with you, about you, your way!
In my natural habitat you'll find me singing badly, dancing in the kitchen, hanging with my family.
I am a very chatty, bubbly lady who is kinda cool (I think anyway).
DM your wedding date to see if I am available!
