Celebrate your way

Natasha Bachler

Hi! I’m the one reading the emails. I’m a typical first-born daughter, Type-A, fantasy-reading 30-ish mum of two currently plying my trade in the Illawarra. I love the arts, I love craft in all of it’s forms, and I’m currently 3 years into a cross-stitch of a peacock that should have only taken me a few months but which I refuse to give up on, despite only having a passing interest in peacocks.

Stay tuned for more thrilling updates.

You’re head over heels

I’ll get your guests in the feels

If you want a fun, energetic, slightly cheeky celebration of your love, I’m here to help. Best celebrant in the Illawarra? Is this how SEO works? RAFO.

On the beach? Your mate’s backyard? You’d like to walk down the aisle with your dog?

I specialise in crafting a ceremony to match your vibe - as long as your vibe is happy and fun.

My job is to set a stupendous tone for your wedding day, get your guests laughing and crying, and write a ceremony that will have your uncle repeating my jokes at the bar afterwards.

How does this work?

  • I’m available for an obligation free chat - a drink, a walk, whatever floats both of your boats. Even better if you want to talk about the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson because I need to get back up to speed before I tackle the latest release!

  • We sign the Notice of Intended Marriage together at least one month before your wedding day

  • Together we plan your ceremony, I give you some killer ideas and you tell me your cute love story

  • I get busy writing and rehearsing

  • On your wedding day, I’ll be there early with my PA, your vows, and the paperwork (plus fancy pen)

  • You go on your honeymoon and I register your marriage!

See what you think
