Well, Hey There.
I feel like being a Celebrant gives me Super Powers! I have the capacity to join humans together in something as sacred as marriage. How freaking cool is that!
I’m Kellie!
I was raised on a dairy farm in Yinnar alongside my immediate family and grandparents. Farm life was my joy – 358 acres of lush green grass, rolling hills, dirt driveways, and a plethora of animals. We had cows, geese, chickens, an emu, dogs, too many cats to count, and a goat named Molly.
My brother and I cherished the freedom of wide-open spaces, where we could run, ride, and explore to our heart's content. Growing up fast was a necessity with both parents working full-time. We cooked our own meals, learned to fend for ourselves after school – sometimes trekking 2-3 kilometers home in the rain during milking time. Definitely not cool, Mom, not cool!
I attended Primary School in Yinnar, then moved on to High School in Churchill & Morwell, gaining experience across various industries along the way.
Now fully grown, I have a family of my own – The Eddy's – and we reside in Traralgon.
250 Couples Hitched
And counting
200 Funeral Services
I remain honoured to serve
So, why am I a Celebrant?
I love weddings (who doesn’t) and knew from a young age that I wanted to be involved in this industry. Initially, I was behind the mic, but in a different capacity. I was the wedding singer, accompanied by my very talented husband. But then I decided I wanted to be the one helping make these Hitchings legal. So, I got to it and now I am that person. The most rewarding part of my job is getting to know new people, learning stories, eating olives, drinking champagne and creating a wicked ceremony that is a true reflection of your love story.
How does it work?
Booking Your Special Day
Get in touch if you'd like me to be part of your special day. My calendar fills up quickly, sometimes up to two years in advance.
Let's Meet
Let's meet up, have a drink, have a chat and eat some chocolate; so we can get to know each other and suss out if we are the right fit.
Creating Your Unique Ceremony
Working together, as a team, we create a unique ceremony to reflect you as a couple. You and your lover can have as much or as little input as you like in this process. Although, I feel like the more input you have, the more reflective your day is of you and your relationship. I will hold your hand all the way.
Handling the Legalities
We’ll complete some paper work, including a Notice of Intended Marriage (at least one month before your date) and a Declaration of no legal impediment to Marriage (as close to the ceremony as possible). Again, I will hold your hand through this part.
Your Big Day
On your wedding day, we all get dressed up and rock a kick arse ceremony. One that’s full of love, laughter some tears, and some shots if you’re game!
After the Ceremony
After you’re hitched, I’ll snap a photo with you (because if it ain’t on socials it didn’t happen), handle all the paperwork to ensure everything is official, and then leave you to party the night away. As you live your own version of 'happily ever after,' I’ll post some photos and we’ll share stories of your awesome wedding day for years to come.
What Clients are Saying
Kellie did an amazing job officiating our marriage. She went above and beyond getting to know us and made every little detail of our ceremony meaningful. All our loved ones enjoyed listening to her and raved on about it - even still now.
We could not be more honoured to have Kellie wed us and honestly would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a celebrant, Kellie is your woman
Mr & Mrs Dorling
We are blown away with how amazing our wedding day was. If we are honest, we were looking forward to our Honeymoon more, but it was just absolutely incredible.
Talking to everyone after our day, their first comment has been about how amazing you were. People can’t believe that we had only met on zoom, how well you conveyed our story and how refreshing the ceremony was. We were also blown away with the ceremony, we did not think it was going to be the best part of the day but you truly did make it just that. We really can’t put into words how amazing you were nor find enough words to thank you.
