Ceremonies by Georgina

Hello, Lovelies! I’m Georgina—though when you call or if I’m in a spot of bother, it’s Georgina, but once we’ve gotten to know each other, it’s just Georgie!

I’m an old-school romantic at heart. Pure and simple. However, don’t be fooled by the platinum blonde locks or the George Clooney-esque hair stripe; I’m far from stuffy or boring. As a proud mum of four marvellous boys, I’m a sports-watching, car-loving, thong (the shoe kind) and shorts-wearing North Queensland gal who embraces life with zest!

Ask my husband, and he’ll tell you that I’m an emotional ball of fluff, tearing up at the slightest heartstring pull—be it movies, TV shows, or even ads. But that’s just a testament to how deeply I cherish each of my couples, who inevitably become like family to me. Yes, I’ll probably follow you on social media long after the ceremony is done—you’re not getting rid of me that easily!

My Journey to Becoming a Celebrant

My journey to becoming a celebrant was sparked by a suggestion from my husband, which I initially didn’t give much credence. During a chat about future aspirations—mind you, this was in our 40s—I was contemplating a career change and the possibility of starting my own business. Several career options were tossed around, from bookkeeping to real estate, even adult education, given my postgraduate degree in the field. Yet, none seemed to fit quite right. Hubby then casually mentioned, “What about a celebrant?” It was a seemingly random suggestion, but as the family’s designated public speaker and an avid watcher of sappy films and wedding dress reality shows, it made perfect sense.

I delved into research and after much pondering, decided to embark on this path. Following a year of study, I became an Authorised Marriage Celebrant just as Covid-19 turned the world upside down in 2020—a challenging but reinforcing time that affirmed my love for this career. It’s not merely a job; each couple presents an opportunity to meet new people, hear unique stories, and become part of their journey. Mushy, I know, but entirely true.

What to Expect When You Choose Me

When you choose me to be your celebrant, here’s what you can expect: my meticulous attention to detail and commitment to perfection—yes, that’s a positive trait. You’ll also get my laid-back North Queensland vibe; while I might let slip the odd colourful word, I assure you I know when it’s appropriate. I can switch gears to be as formal as required, crafting and delivering your ceremony to match the desired atmosphere. My dedication is unwavering—I will do everything possible to ensure your ceremony goes off without a hitch, even if it means playing referee between you and any challenging relatives.

Let’s Create Something Beautiful Together

I’m eager to be part of your story because your happily ever after begins here. For the best celebrant experience in the Whitsundays, let’s create something beautiful together.
