Hi! Thanks for dropping in!
My name is Natalie, and I am a Marriage Celebrant based in Tasmania.
I became an Authorised Celebrant in 2021 and have loved every step of this beautiful journey so far!
To be able to share in a couple's happiest day and ride the roller coaster of the planning process and the crafting of their wedding ceremony with them, is such a great honour, privilege and a thrill. I love soaking up the happiness and joy and emotion of each wedding. What a job to be able to tell couples in love that together we have done all the things we needed to and now you are married!
Every wedding is different. Every wedding is special. Every wedding is wonderful.
One of the biggest things I have learned through my celebrant journey so far
is that each couple's idea of a perfect wedding is vastly different.
Yours may be a very polished and formal wedding with all the trimmings and lots of guests to celebrate with. Or it may be a very short and sweet ceremony in one of your favourite locations
with just a few special people in attendance.
Or it could be anywhere in between!
I aim to work with you to design the ceremony that your guests will come away from thinking
"oh, that was SO them!" and most importantly that you come away thinking that it was perfectly you.
I would love to talk to you more about your special day.
I was so excited to receive an email in February 2023 advising me that I had received enough votes to be named as a Finalist in the Wedding Industry Awards 2023 for Tasmania.
At the Awards night on 7th March 2023 I was blown away to be given the #2 Highly Commended Wedding Industry Award in the category of Marriage Celebrant for Tasmania.
What an absolute honour that my couples have thought enough of me to take the time to give me their vote. I am so incredibly grateful!
TRENDS I'M LOVING RIGHT NOW...
Confetti Cannons! These were used at one of my weddings recently and created such a wow moment for the guests, and also an amazing photo memory. If you are looking into purchasing these for your special day it is worth noting that most venues request only biodegradable confetti is used (if confetti is allowed at all).
My Full Wedding package covers the following:
Not all wedding ceremonies need all the inclusions! If you want none or only a few of the regular bells and whistles, I also offer different packages and prices for weekday weddings and elopements, and also for "legals only" style ceremonies.. Contact me to find out more.
Travel fees may apply depending on location.
Elope in Tas!
I am such a proud Tasmanian, and I have a special place in my heart for the intimate elopements in any of the naturally beautiful places Tassie has on offer.
I can offer a simple 'legals only' style ceremony with some personal touches to add to the romance and special nature of your day.
Please contact me to find out more, or check out my sister site https://elopeintas.au for more info.
I am excited to also announce a collab with the amazing Daniel Livings (check him out here: https://www.daniellivingsphotography.com.au) to create and capture your epic elopement.
Focussing on gorgeous East Coast and Northern Tas, this is a wonderful package to get all your legal requirements covered off on, a sweet and simple ceremony in an out of the box location, and have 2 hours of professional photography and have those precious memories captured beautifully forever.
These awesome packages are available from $2,200.00.

Natalie was the perfect fit. She had a lot of questions from us which she was more than helpful with and very prompt in her replies. Really took the time to create a ceremony that was suited to us and our vibes.
A very easy process as she did all the work.
Can not fault her.
12/10 would recommend!

Natalie is a beautiful-natured person, and was the perfect addition to our wedding at Cradle mountain. She effectively communicated with us in the lead up and after the wedding and you could tell she truly cared about us and our experience.

Natalie was such a lovely Celebrant! She was calm and supportive with our vows, and very personable. She made signing the papers and official documents very easy! She was also there on the day to help everyone else feel comfortable whilst waiting for me running behind schedule! The vow books are very lovely, and something we will keep as a momento of our day in our guest book.
I would highly recommend Natalie as a celebrant for your special day.

We were so impressed with Natalie; she was just amazing right from the get-go! Our wedding was all we could have hoped for. Right from the beginning Natalie was the sweetest person, highly professional, organised and made sure the whole process was as smooth as possible. If you are looking for a perfect wedding, you must have her as your celebrant! She was on top of things, making sure that we had done what we needed to do, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. Our service was just perfect in terms on the length we wanted, having it fun, but also intimate and meaningful which is exactly what we wanted. Natalie helped us personalise our ceremony so beautifully, thank you so much for making our day all we could have hoped for. Highly recommend Natalie as the perfect celebrant <3

Natalie Freeman is probably one of the friendliest, easy going happy people we've met.
Natalie was super helpful with our wedding plans and gave us some very useful advice and tips as well which we did use .
She kept in touch in the lead up to our amazing day to make sure we were happy with everything. The ceremony Natalie gave us flowed very well ,with a relaxed happy warm feel to it largely thanks to Natalie's approach.
We are very grateful for her giving us
our dream wedding and would definitely recommend her to anyone !

Natalie made our ceremony dreams come true,
my partner and I wanted it to represent us and that’s exactly what Natalie made happen.
With many laughs, tears and cheers.
Natalie also had given us a lot of ideas that made it just that extra special. The whole planning process was made so simple and stress free.
Natalie you are such an incredible person,
my husband and I can not thank you enough for all that you have done for us.
Indy-Rose also said to say a huge thank you for making her feel so special and included in our magical day.

Natalie was such a pleasure to deal with.
Her communication pre-wedding
was prompt and very helpful.
Meeting Natalie on our wedding day
(as we travelled interstate),
she was so lovely and gracious.
Our wedding ceremony was beautiful.
Natalie's speech was very thoughtful and personal. Natalie was also very kind and patient with our children, who were talking and walking around during the ceremony.
We provided Natalie our vows in the week before the wedding and Natalie printed them out and presented them to us beautifully with decorative paper and ribbon.
Natalie was fantastic and we
highly recommend her.

We recently had the pleasure of having Natalie Freeman as our wedding celebrant, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail.
From the moment we first spoke, Natalie was incredibly thoughtful and organized, offering helpful suggestions and guidance to ensure that our special day was truly unforgettable.
Throughout the entire planning process, Natalie was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance, and she went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly.
Her experience was evident in every aspect of the ceremony, from the seamless coordination to the beautiful and heartfelt words she shared during the ceremony itself.
One of the things that impressed us most about Natalie was her ability to strike the perfect balance between offering guidance and support, while never making us feel pressured or worried. She was always quick to offer a gentle nudge if we hadn't provided her with critical information, but she did so with such kindness and warmth that it never felt like a burden.
Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend Natalie Freeman to anyone looking for a wedding celebrant. She is thoughtful, organized, and super friendly. Her experience, expertise, and warm demeanour made our special day truly unforgettable, and we could not have asked for a better partner in bringing our wedding vision to life. Thank you, Natalie from Will and Freja!

Natalie made the whole ceremony process so straightforward and stress-free and was professional and very prompt to respond to any queries we had. We had an initial zoom call and then communicated via email until the rehearsal the day before our wedding. We also had a few extra requests and Natalie went above and beyond to help us out. Her genuine excitement for our wedding made us feel very special and it was lovely to receive emails from Natalie acknowledging our wedding a year and month out from the big day! The ceremony that Natalie wrote suited us perfectly and so many of our guests commented on what a lovely, warm and genuine person Natalie was. We cannot recommend Natalie highly enough, we are so happy we were able to have her as part of our wedding day!

planning our wedding and we are so grateful.

We had to plan our wedding 3 times due to rules around international travel during COVID times and as a result we researched and met a few wedding celebrants. After our first meeting Natalie we were just so confident that she was the right choice for us. Natalie is one of those instantly likable people, extremely professional, asks all the right questions, determined to make everything as personal and genuine as possible and delivers everything on the day perfectly. The whole experience from start to finish was extremely enjoyable. My wife and I are extremely grateful and wouldn’t recommend anyone else

Natalie , Steve Posie and myself can't thank you enough for being our celebrant.
It brings tears to my eyes every time I think back to our special day and I know it wouldn't of been so perfect if we didn't have you there guiding us the whole way through it.
The ceremony script was perfect and tailored to who we are as a family. Thank you for making everything so easy.
You really were destined for this.

Natalie was absolutely amazing. If you want your wedding to be perfect you have to have Natalie there as your celebrant! Natalie was amazing at every step of the way! We never felt rushed or pushed but she was always ontop of things making sure that we had done what we needed to do. We even had a few little other requests thay Natalie was more then happy to accomodate. Natalie is extremely well priced and we dont know how to thank her enough for making our day as perfect as it was. Natalie made the service light hearted and fun but also intimate and meaningful which is exactly what we wanted. We honestly couldnt of asked for a more perfect celebrant!

Words really can't describe how wonderful our experience with Natalie was. We made the last minute decision to elope, and Natalie went above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we could have hoped for. She guided us through the entire process with kindness and patience, and was more than willing to offer help when needed. Our day was beyond anything we could have imagined, and we both feel really blessed to have met Natalie and her husband, and to have shared our special day with them both.
5 stars isn't enough.

Natalie was an amazing celebrant and made our day all that much more special. Her relaxed demeanour helped to keep the nerves and stress levels down and her own wonderful personality made our ceremony feel that much more perfect. My husband and I can't recommend Natalie enough and believe all future couples should truly consider her for their wedding ceremony. Thank you Natalie, from the bottom of our hearts ❤️

Natalie was a brilliant addition to our day! Even though we only had a small and quick service, Natalie still gave us her full attention and efforts in planning. She was very prompt with messages, meeting and helped us to plan our vows and customise them to suit us. She was warm and welcoming and we would highly recommend her to help plan your day!

I love marrying couples so much that it is my full time gig. That means I am able to be totally flexible to meet your needs. You can marry on any day of the week that you like, at any time, anywhere in Tassie. I am able to fit in with you.
I will make sure that all our legal requirements are met, as and when they need to be. If our documentation is coming up to it's due date and you haven't provided me with the required information I will hound you relentlessly until it is done!
Seriously though, I will be organised and check things off so that nothing vital is missed and the legality of your wedding day is not put in jeopardy. I am here to take some of the stress out of organising your big day!
I pride myself on being very responsive, so any time you contact me you can be sure that I will answer promptly and you won't have to chase me up for anything.
I will work with you to conduct the wedding ceremony that feels authentic to you as a couple, and is something you will look back on forever as being such a great part of your special day.
There are certain things that have to be done in your wedding ceremony, but mostly the choices are yours to make. You must recite the legal vows, have two witnesses over the age of 18, and sign the legal documents. As your celebrant, I must identify myself properly and say the Monitum to explain the very important (and legally binding!) reason why we are all at your wedding.
I will be professional and reliable at all times, and if you have any questions or need advice on any other aspects of your wedding day throughout the process, I am here to help where I can.
But I will also be totally invested in your day, and will get excited with you as your date draws nearer. I'm another member of your bridal party for the ceremony, arriving early to ensure things are ready for your big moment, and to help calm any last minute nerves, cheering you on, laughing and crying with you, and getting totally swept up in the glorious celebration of the two of you 🤍
Apart from helping you to design an engaging ceremony for your guests, I also have 24 white umbrellas and 2 holders that I bring to all my weddings and provide to you to use for free if you wish.
Never underestimate how important it is for your guests to be comfortable at an outdoor wedding. My umbrellas are very gratefully used to provide shelter from the rain or shade from the sun (or sometimes both at the one ceremony!).
Part of my registration as a Civil Celebrant requires that I complete Ongoing Professional Development each year to ensure that I am up to date with all the legal requirements of marriage and any changes that come up. I also attend as many webinars as I can to keep my knowledge and ideas-base current.
I am a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants which also gives me a ton of resources to draw on and access up to date information.
You can do whichever works best for you. There are so many examples of beautiful vows to choose from, which might only need to be reworded slightly to make them perfect for you.
If you are creative and expressive and writing your own vows is something you really want to do, then go for it! If writing the vows is something way out of your comfort zone then leave it with me and I can provide some options for you to select from. One of my jobs is to make sure that you have the correctly worded legal vows included in your script, but the rest are up to you.
Don't forget - it's your day! If you don't want personal vows, don't include them. You may wish to have a reading or poem included that sums things up just right for you. Or keep your ceremony short and sweet with just the basics. All. Your. Choice!
That's one of the things I am here for! I will complete all the legal paperwork with you and let you know exactly what identification documents I need you to gather together. Some situations require additional documents need to be included, but I will let you know if that's the case when we chat.
I will be guided by you, your colour scheme, the venue and the style of wedding you are having when deciding what style of outfit will be most appropriate for your wedding so that I blend in well.

When I think of unconditional, total and pure love, this girl springs straight to my mind! She is my protector, shadow and constant companion. We love taking her out on coffee dates to Elaia or Levee, for walks by the river and visits with her little bestie my daughter's Westie!
When I'm not busy getting happy couples hitched, my husband and I spend time in the sky learning to fly. It is a shared passion of ours, and we love the freedom and exhilaration of being airborne! Our aim is to eventually be able to fly ourselves around Australia ✈️
Everywhere you look in Tasmania there is something wonderful to discover. If the polished and formal wedding and reception thing is not for you, consider an intimate elopement or micro-wedding with a majestic backdrop, anywhere in the beautiful nature-scape of Tassie.
This photo is from an epic two day hike at Cradle Mountain I did with

Keeping your guests comfortable at an outdoor Tassie wedding is very important!
