ABOUT YOUR CELEBRANT
NICOLE SMITH
Hello! Whilst I am thrilled you have stopped to read this section; this really is all about YOU and your special celebration. However, it probably is important you get to know me a little too…
I’m a wife to Tony and a mum to Dylan, Ava and a furry-baby, Morris. I believe all meals should begin and end with dessert (lucky I shacked-up with an Italian that insists on cooking real food for the family). I think tea and coffee are poison and choose to drink only water, wine and hot chocolate. I feel great after a good gym session, but struggle to drag myself there. In my free time I like to explore bush trails, beaches and love a live game of NRL (born and bred Bulldog!).
My office and my ceremonies are kid-friendly, pet-friendly, and senior-citizen-friendly!
Most of my clients tell me they chose to share their special day with me because of my relaxed, positive, keeping-it-real nature. Whilst I am a professional and polished celebrant, I am known to bring a sense of calm and laughter.
I am open-minded, non-judgemental and know how to work a P.A. system. I can wash stains from white dresses in less than thirty seconds and keep brides and grooms calm on their wedding day.
I love absolutely anything and everything to do with celebrating life events – seeing people crazy in love, marrying their person or watching families gather to celebrate the
life of a new baby is one of the best things you can witness in this world and I have the honour and privilege of not only witnessing these special events, but also assisting to put them together.
I am the sort of celebrant that will help you create a ceremony that truly reflects you and you’re personalities, whether that be fun, relaxed, formal, alternate or quirky, I will ensure we create the best darn ceremony you could imagine!
If this all sounds like the sort of celebrant you’d like to share your big day with, then click here and let’s organise a time to meet for a no-obligation chat. I’m happy to meet
weekdays, weekends, days and evenings.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID
From weddings to vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and naming days, even blessings for new homes or pregnancies and conscious
un-coupling ceremonies… as an authorised celebrant, I perform them all!
I’ve performed ceremonies in backyards, parks, gardens and fancy hotels, on beaches, cruise ships and even a TV set, in three different states and also abroad!
I’ve enjoyed every moment of it and considered myself very lucky on the few occasions I was able to leave with a slice of cake.
HOVER OVER THE IMAGES BELOW TO SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID
Mel & Shane, August 2018
We chose Nicole due to her friendly and welcoming nature. Planning our ceremony with her was effortless and enjoyable. She ensured our ceremony was personal to us and it is a perfect memory we will cherish forever.
Sophie & Ryan, August 2018
When meeting Nicole it was like we had known her forever and that a friend would be standing with us on our special day. We told her we wanted, relaxed, fun and
something that showed who we were. She delivered!
I was a picky bride with too many ideas, but Nicole made them all happen above my expectations. Our guests
commented on the atmosphere and that our ceremony portrayed us perfectly. Nicole was always available for my many questions and always full of ideas.

Brooke & Peter, August 2014
We found Nicole was always easy to talk to and approachable about anything we wanted to change or incorporate. On the day, she made us feel like we'd definitely made the right decision in choosing her - she was on time, sensitive to an emotional bride and genuinely happy for us. She was very well spoken, with a great sense of humour and always kept us informed of what was going on in the lead up to the ceremony and on the day. It was clear she really loves her job and her sincerity makes her presence effortless.
Georgie & Dane, June 2019
We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to help us tie the knot. Nicole made planning for the ceremony very simple & really guided us when we were unsure on something. We loved how Nicole got to know us & shared little details about us throughout the ceremony, making it personal. We would highly recommended Nicole & cannot thank her enough being a part of our day!
Ellie & Mitchell, May 2014
Nicole is extremely professional, yet very warm, which is exactly the vibe we wanted for our wedding. My husband commented that Nicole had a calming effect on him, 120 guests staring at him had him shaking in his boots, but Nicole had this incredible ability to take the stress away and calm him right down. Nicole was amazing during the ceremony, did not forget anyone’s names like we’ve seen at other weddings) she was warm, personable and ran that ceremony like she was marrying The Royals.
Sheree & Jonathon October 2018
Nicole was the perfect celebrant for our wedding - she is easy going, laid back, super friendly yet very professional. She made our wedding amazing and made us feel so special. She even had the ability to make us feel calm on such a nerve-racking day, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding celebrant!
Cassandra & Robert, November 2018
While planning the ceremony, we found Nicole was extremely helpful, supportive and professional. We found the whole planning process effortless and seamless as Nicole was able to provide templates and talk through lots of different options. Our guests after the ceremony told us that it was the best wedding ceremony they had attended as it all ran very smoothly, was very personal and Nicole seemed to be very down to earth and relaxed throughout the ceremony.
Gareth & John, March 2019
We wrote our own vows, which was a very daunting task. However, Nicole guided us in the right direction and helped us to voice the most important promises we will ever make to one another. You had us all in tears and laughter and set the tone for our day. You truly "got" us from the start and made everyone so comfortable, Gareth and I cannot thank you enough.
Naomi & Jayson, May 2018
We had the pleasure of finding Nicole at a wedding expo in Wollongong. After meeting numerous celebrants, we didn’t feel we had met “the one” until we came across Nicole. She has a great sense of humour… We knew she was going to be our celebrant when she out witted Jayson with a comeback to a joke he had made that left him almost lost
for words; and that is hard to do. She really suited our personalities perfectly!

Ellen & Timmy, November 2018
We were lucky to meet Nicole through friends who recently married. Having Nicole in our ceremony was a huge contribution to our unforgettable moments. She didn’t feel like our celebrant, we felt she was more a family member to come and share the joys in our ceremony. Three words to describe Nicole – friendly, professional and dedicated.
Funeral of R. Gasparotto, 2017
Just wanted to thank you again for how you captured the sentiment of our father’s celebration of life. I imagine your job must be quite difficult taking on everyone’s hurt and pain whilst maintaining a professional demeanour. You were truly remarkable, authentic and so gentle in your approach.
Elle & Karl, October 2018
While planning our ceremony, we found Nicole was adaptable and worked around our timelines. On the day, she checked in with us both before the ceremony and was a calming presence. She has this awesome ability to feel like someone you've known forever! She truly made everything about us and so, so easy. Our guests commented that she was warm, authentic and engaging - they loved her use of humour! Our ceremony was total perfection and without Nicole it would not have been the same.
Loren & Channa, March 2017
Nicole was absolutely amazing with everything and made sure our small, private ceremony was everything we wanted. She was easy-going and open to all our ideas. Things didn't go as planned on the day (another service provider didn’t show), but
Nicole improvised and started our ceremony as if nothing went wrong. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted, and Nicole made that happen!

Rachel & Justin, July 2017
The thing we liked most about Nicole was her ability to design our wedding service and speeches around what we wanted and deliver a professional and captivating ceremony. We would highly recommend Nicole.
Commitment Ceremony of Tash & Maree, November 2017
We have lost count the amount of times our guests who have complimented us on our choice of celebrant for our special ceremony. You were funny, personable, accommodating to our tastes and really made it about us, thank you so much Nicole.
Nicole & Matt, October 2019
Nicole went above and beyond for us to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. I called and emailed her multiple times at all hours and she was more than happy to calm my nerves and get down to business. If anyone is looking for a celebrant with heart, personality and will really listen to what YOU want, Nic is your girl. We wouldn’t have been able to get through the stress of a wedding without her!
Coralie & Lee, October 2014
On the day Nicole made us feel comfortable and relaxed. A celebrant plays a big role in your wedding day and Nicole was very helpful and easy to work with leading up to our big day. We would highly recommend Nicole as a celebrant for your special day.
Tammy & Ben, March 2014
Nicole’s warmth, friendly demeanor and professional
nature is not learnt or a skill set - it is an innate ability that she possesses. Our ceremony was unique to us and we had friends and family then use her as their celebrant… that speaks volumes! If your guests ask for your celebrants details - you picked a good one. Both my husband and I have worked in weddings combined for more than 12 years; Nicole is worth a conversation. That’s all you need to know; she is right for you.

Kasscha & Roland, September 2017
We chose to book Nicole because we found she was easy- going, organised, helpful, extremely easy to work with and was able to have a good laugh with us. Nicole is
amazing at what she does and we would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Naming Ceremony - Xavier
Nicole had performed a few of our family’s weddings in the past and the personal relationship we feel we now share with her made the day more special. Her bubbly
personality and humour made our entire family laugh, feel happy and included. The certificates we received are a treasured keepsake, she even made ‘Big Sister’ certificates for our daughters to sign which they cherish, and we thought was such a nice touch. Thankyou Nicole, our naming ceremony wouldn’t have been half as special without you.

Rhonda & Kenny, August 2016
There was never any pressure from Nic - from the moment we met her, we felt like we had known her for years. While planning the ceremony, she was all about us and our needs! On the day, she made us feel super special and we felt our ceremony wasmagical ! Our guests loved her, commented on how beautifully she presented herself and how incredibly she performed the ceremony. You’re missing out if you don’t have this special soul perform your big day.
Holley & Adrian, March 2017
It was so lovely to be able to work with Nicole to make our ceremony individual and unique to the two of us. Her guidance and support through the whole process of organising the ceremony was greatly appreciated. She made us both feel so at ease during the day which made it so enjoyable without the nerves!
Commitment Ceremony of Beck and Sarah, February 2018
From the moment we met Nicole we knew she was the celebrant for us. What appealed most to us was her warm nature and genuine passion for what she does. We are so thankful for her because our ceremony was very important to us. Nicole was attentive to all of our requests and nothing was a problem. Thank you Nicole for making our special ceremony so memorable and making it all about “us.”
Celebration of Life for C Willis, 2017
You captured Mum's 'Celebration of Life' just beautifully. You were so attentive to how we wanted the ceremony and our family were in awe with how special it was. We aren't a religious family and we wanted something that was memorable to Mum and honoured her in a more unique way - Nicole, you truly are a professional and passionate Celebrant.
