Garden Pavilion Wedding Ceremony at The Vines Resort in the Swan Valley
Always nice to receive such wonderful feedback from my couples after their wedding.

“Hi Brad,
Thank you so much for assisting us in the lead up to the wedding and on the big day.
You are just wonderful and I have already recommended your services to some brides-to-be.
I have also reviewed on Facebook.
Take care,
Amanda and Gerard”
The Vines Wedding Ceremony, July 2018
I met Amanda and Gerard through another couple I had helped marry many years ago (thank you so much guys….) and from chatting to them at the first meeting I knew I could help deliver a wedding that they wanted: easy, relaxed, not boring, funny and so on…. My specialty I said, leave it with me, I said…..

Well the wedding day was typical atrocious Perth winter storms. It was bucketing down horizontally but Amanda was smart: she had booked her wedding with Jenny at The Vines Resort in the Swan Valley and they have a magnificent wedding ceremony Garden Pavilion. With hundreds of guests attending you could not tell that mother nature was trying to “enhance” their day.

Gerard and Amanda looked so happy and I must admit, I have never laughed so much during a wedding (and that is a lot as usually I am the only one that laughs at my jokes). I particularly loved telling their story which included the most dramatic and hilarious engagement stories I have ever heard…

Driving in the car on Christmas eve they where pulled over by the Police for a License check. Gerard was taken out of the car and handcuffed. (yes this did happen, I have seen the photos). Amanda thought this was a little heavy handed for unpaid speeding fines…. Gerard was placed on both knees in front of Amanda. It was a set up… Gerard then invited Amanda to make him the happiest man in the world by being his wife… (If I did this, my wife would have said NO). Amanda is such a sport she thought it was super cool. Years later she is still sharing the photos on facebook….

After the ceremony was finished, Amanda and Gerard enjoyed just enough dry weather to walk around The Vines with their super talented photographer Kasandra Swartz.
It was such a special day and I really loved being the Marriage Celebrant that could help make their dreams come true. Thank you so much Amanda and Gerard and I wish you both an amazing life together that is full of fun, love, happiness and laughter.
A big thank you to Kasandra Swartz Photography for these amazing photos she took of the day.
