Introducing our Celebrants!
We have got 3 amazing Celebrants lined up for you all to meet at our 2014 Gold Coast Wedding Festival. To help you get to know them ahead of time, we asked them to fill out a little questionnaire… see their answers below:
Benjamin Carlyle
In a nutshell, who are you and what do you do?
A young male Civil Marriage Celebrant who provides custom wedding ceremonies. Helping couples resonate with their unique vibes to create a fresh, funky and creative wedding ceremony. My skills as a performing artist add flair and confidence to the most important ceremony of your life.
What is the most unique thing you’ve seen at a wedding?
The 1 year old Paige Boy getting down an outdoor aisle in an electric car to the tune “Driving around in my auto-mobile”. Classic.
If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?
I would be blue. Blue is confident, refreshing, cool, ocean/ sky, life giving, blue suede shoes, blue eyes.
Candice Wilson
What is it about weddings that you love so much?
I feel very privileged to be apart of such an important day for the bride and groom and their families. It’s great to meet such an elective mix of couples and hear their story while helping them plan their day.
What do you do in your free time?
When I’m not working I paint, read and hang out with my family.
If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?
Orange, because I drink too much carrot juice!
Ali Hall (Marriage Celebrant Ali)
What is it about weddings that you love so much?
I have always cried at weddings. I get an overwhelming emotion that builds up. All the happiness, love and positivity that flows on a couple’s wedding day. If we could bottle and sell the energy that a wedding creates the world would be a much more loving, positive and happy place.
What do you do in your free time?
I have 2 little girls, Poppy and Winnie who seem to keep me busy in my spare time these days. We enjoy going on adventures to the forests, parks and beaches, experiencing new things together. When the girls are sleeping or busy themselves I enjoy sewing, painting furniture, craft, gardening, op shopping, yoga and snuggling with my Beau. And if I ever have time I love to roller skate!
If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?
Oooo… This is a tricky one. Anyone that knows me knows that I am a pretty colourful gal. If I can’t be a rainbow I would choose green as it is the colour that represents your heart chakra. Where harmony, equanimity, compassion, trust, loving relationships come from!
