Buckle up lovers, it’s time to get to know lil ‘ole me!
I’m Kristy, former country gal, miner and exercise physiologist turned marriage celebrant, living large in the Swan Valley, Perth.
I’m a mumma to two vibrant wee firecrackers, hitched to the most wonderful farm boy from New Zealand, and absolutely partial to glass of shiraz or two!
As a celebrant it should come as no surprise that I’m slightly addicted to love stories! I live for hearing about couples' unique journeys to finding each other. I’m a total sucker for a rom-com too.
I grew up in Port Hedland, but now call Perth’s wine central home, and tbh I’m pretty sure I was always meant to end up here!
So legends, if you're on the hunt for a celebrant who brings a touch of country charm, a whole lot of fun, and a sprinkle of love with a modern flair to your special day, look no further. I'm here to make your wedding freaking awesome, and totally YOU!
A Few Fun Facts About Your Hitching Gal, Kristy
If you choose me as your wedding celebrant I’m going to be asking you a lot of questions, so let me spill the tea first on my backstory to even out the score and let you get a good feel for me and what I’m all about.
Hubby is my ride-or-die. Not only is he a master carpenter who can fix pretty much everything, he’s literally got chocolate in his veins!! His Great-Great Grandfather was the founder of the Whittaker Chocolate empire. Sweet, right?
My trusty office sidekick is Winston the cavoodle. He's my best bud who loves a good snuggle. P.S. If you’re wondering whether to include your furry friends in your wedding, it’s a big YES from me!
I have a magical talent for baking beautiful cookies that are not only Instagram-worthy but also downright delicious. But between looking after my little ones and marrying absolute legends, I struggle to find the time for baking these mouth-watering treats these days!
Fashion, fitness and friendships are my jam. When I'm not getting glammed up for your big day (which I love btw!) I'm either at the gym or catching up with mates over coffee or wine. It's a tough life but someone has to do it!
I have NEVER had my ears pierced! I know - wild right! I literally have one pair of clip on earrings that belonged to my late grandma that I wear to every wedding! I’m a sentimental sucker and love that she’s always with me, doing the thing I love the most - hitching incredible couples like YOU!
Before the celebranting began?
In my previous life, I worked as an exercise physiologist, mending broken hearts and specialising in cardiac rehabilitation for almost 10 years. I used to work FIFO too, so I totally get the struggle of being away from loved ones. I’ve driven dump trucks, blew sh!t up on blast crew and landed roles in autonomous drill control and fixed plant. You name it in the mining game - I did it!
Whilst i was pregnant with my second bub I dove head first into the celebrant course and never looked back! I truely believe I was born to be a celebrant. I just freaking love everything about it! I'm all about creating fun, relaxed, modern and non-cringey heartfelt wedding ceremonies that'll leave you and your guests frothing for more. Nothing lights me up more than staying on to MC your reception and watching you celebrate with your loved ones from start to finish.
My little love business went wild (I must be good at what I do!) so I have given up my mining gig to go all-in on the celebrant life! (seeya later 12 hour days and hello to work-life balance and family time!) That means I'm ready to give you and your big day my full attention. Epic, right?
So, what do you say? If it’s an “I do” from you, let's get you Wed with Whitt, legends!
