Congrats on choosing to elope to Moreton Island!

And congrats on kicking "tradition" to the curb!

Like me, you believe that when it comes to getting married, less is more!

 

Because let's be honest, weddings don't have to be traditional in order to be beautiful and memorable, and the day should be about the two of you, not stressing about the guestlist and the favours and who's sitting where...

The most important thing is that you are marrying the love of your life, with only those that you want standing beside you, in a place that is truly unforgettable and your day is stress-free and surrounded by love and laughter.

I've got you!

Your dream beach wedding starts here!

Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favourite

What Maddie and Sam shared...

"Fun, bubbly and down-to-earth is the best way to describe Kerri! After getting engaged and stumbling across her socials in late 2023, we knew she would be the one to marry us. Her zest, passion and wholesome vibes were like a breath of fresh air and had us both saying “she’s the one!”. During the entire planning process, Kerri was always in touch ensuring we were kept in the loop. We are so grateful we found Kerri and cannot thank her enough for her love and support! Without fail, she will forever hold a special place in our hearts and memories for years to come!"

Meet Kerri, Moreton Island's favourite Celebrant

"I love the story, the connection, the journey, the trust. The look, the feels, the tears and declared dreams. Creating a ceremony full of love, fun and laughter where my couple declares to the world they have found their one!"

 

When I'm not hitching lovers you will find me hanging with my faves or enjoying some R&R with my love.
