Salt of the Earth Celebrant

I had never realised what an integral role our celebrant Annalyse would play on our wedding day. She went above and beyond to help pull off our surprise wedding. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. It was all the finer details that I would have never have thought about, all the little things that she made so easy and seamless. Her organisation and her attention to detail was unmatched. Her calming presence and absolutely hilarious personality made everything so much fun. There was no stressing and nothing to worry about with Annalyse by our side. We are beyond grateful for everything she did for us leading up to the wedding, all our catch ups and ideas shared.. and then of course pulling of the big day perfectly! Annalyse was AMAZING! Thank you thank you thank you xx

My partner and I decided to elope with just our babies in tow. It was a very last minute decision and Annalyse was on top of everything from the start. She made us feel very at ease through the entire process. The ceremony reflected us as a couple perfectly and we are honored to have had the privilege of Annalyse be our celebrant. Thank you for making our day just how we had hoped.

Annalyse was so much more than just a celebrant, she was integral to pulling off our perfect wedding ceremony. From the moment we asked Annalyse to marry us, to the time we received our official certificate, she looked after everything! From the ceremony script, to our individual vows and even ensuring we had little surprises for each other and our guests, she managed everything with ease, calmness and professionalism.With a high maintenance bride (who had a mini panic attack the day before during rehearsal), Annalyse made sure that we made amends to the vows and procedures less than 24 hours out from the day. She refused to leave the rehearsal until I was comfortable, and I couldn't be more thankful!On the day, when inevitably things go wrong, I was the last to know and she sorted out everything herself. Annalyse made sure we had the perfect day and was more like a wedding planner than a celebrant in making sure we all had the perfect day.On top of that, she filed the paperwork straight away which meant we had the official wedding certificate in our hands less than a week after our wedding. I couldn't recommend Annalyse more highly!

Annalyse @saltoftheearthcelebrant supported us through the elopement process with care and compassion. She really listened and delivered on our vision of a simple elopement ceremony that focused simply on celebrating our love. This feeling was conveyed through her clever use of storytelling along with a sprinkle of humour. It was exactly what we wanted and dreamed of. Thank you so much Annalyse for helping to make this a magical moment. Your presence was so calming and reassuring. We are truly grateful.

Annalyse @saltoftheearthcelebrant was simply a dream... From the very beginning, she led us step by step in a soothing, natural, well prepared and confident way. The day of, she stood by us and spoke with sincerity and ease. One thing that sets Annalyse apart is her ability to create an intimate tone in how she delivers- it's very curated, personal and real, without fluff, fuss or theatrics. We feel so privileged that she was able to be part of our day and offer such a beautiful celebrant experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Emee xo

I was recently a guest at a wedding in Byron Bay of some very close friends and lucky for them they chose Annalyse to be their Celebrant.Annalyse conducted a brilliant service that had all of the guests crying happy rivers one minute and giggling through the rest of the ceremony the next.Annalyse had clearly spent the time crafting and creating a ceremony that was very personal for them. At times Annalyse appeared just as emotionally invested in the day as the rest of us and clearly felt very honoured to be part of this occasion.It was an intimate group of about fifty, and I know nearly every single guest felt really touched by how wonderful the ceremony was. A really fitting ceremony for two of my dearest friends.I will most certainly be calling Annalyse to be part of my big day!

Fantastic experience. In a time of uncertainty and disruption (with relation to COVID not my relationship!) my wife Kristy and I couldn't have wished for someone more genuine, caring and super talented in both her story telling and delivery than Annalyse! She was able to cobble together the story of Kristy and I from our differing accounts of what brought us together and the 9 year journey that led us to this key moment, with wit, charm and most of all love. She kept us on track with our timelines, checked in regularly and guided us when necessary - she helped bring a aura of calmness to what can sometimes be a daunting and overwhelming experience. With her support and hard work we knew we didn't have to stress over the ceremony. We will be enlisting her help again in the future if and when we renew our vows or should I tire of Kristy and get a replacement.. Jokes! 5/5 - you won't be disappointed!

Annalyse has a gift with words. She sincerely sees what is in your heart, and phrases your jumbled feelings in a way that is far more eloquent and poetic than you could ever of come up with yourself.She observes you and your relationship and finds the perfect recipe to create a ceremony that is deeply personal, yet universally connecting to all those who are witnessing.There was not a dry eye at our ceremony. All of our guests said they have never laughed or cried so much in a ceremony before. And Jesse and I fully hold Annalyse responsible for evoking that emotion in everyone.Annalyse had the hard task of needing to craft a ceremony that blended my deep, 'all the feels', feminine energy with Jess's true blue, no fuss, masculine demeanour. And we both agree, she absolutely nailed it. We both felt seen, respected, and honestly depicted. Her words held us both, and allowed us to feel completely comfortable in her story telling and presence.Her professionalism and commitment blew us away from the very start, and I am happy to say that was carried through until the very end.I would absolutely recommend Annalyse to any couple looking for a celebrant. She will tell your story in a way that is honest, heartfelt, and witty, while absorbing everyone's complete attention.
