celebrant
Frankie Orange.

Hi. I'm Frankie Orange.
Celebrant, wedding-day hype gal, professional third wheel, and a woman who is wildly obsessed with love.

hype girl.

your celebrant

(The one who is just as excited about your wedding as you are!)

Congratulations,
you two lovebirds!

I could start with a story about my life, but this isn’t about me, its about you + why I should be the lucky lady who gets to officiate your wedding.

I am accommodating.

If you want to get married on a mother fucking mountain, I will climb that mountain with you.
Should you dream of a couple of Alpacas waiting for you at the end of the aisle, I will be waiting for you with a couple of Alpacas at the end of the aisle*.
*extra Alpaca charges may apply.

I am animated + confident in my presentation.

Your guests will not be bored listening to a Monotone Murray with me (no offence Murray). Nor will they be over-stimulated watching a Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man either, don’t worry. I know how to read a room, bring the energy when it's needed + let those beautiful, heartfelt moments speak for themselves.

I am professional, reliable + punctual.

Behind the wild hair is a celebrant who takes her job very seriously (but not herself). I take the time to get to know you both, understand what you really want + make sure you feel supported every step of the way. From our first meeting to your first kiss as a married couple, I've got you.

I am fresh, modern + creative. A storyteller.

You will not get a run-of-the-mill ceremony script with your names popped in. Every person is unique, every love story is unique + your ceremony should reflect exactly that. Together, we'll create something personal, meaningful + entirely YOU. The kind of ceremony that makes your guests laugh, your mum cry + the two of you think, "Holy shit, this is actually happening."

I am open minded, friendly + inclusive.

I am culturally + socially sensitive, respectful of all backgrounds, beliefs + identities, and wholeheartedly believe that love is love. Whoever you are, whoever you love + however you choose to celebrate, you're welcome here.

I am a little bit different.

Mostly you will see me with Orange/Pink/Peach hair, wearing some sort of jazzy outfit + sporting a bloody big smile. You’re not like everyone else, so why would your celebrant be?

Now that you've read my resume of awesomeness, I'll tell you a teeny bit about me.

I'm Frankie Orange, the one who is genuinely just as fucking excited about your wedding as you are. I am the founder of The Petite Wedding Co. + the gal behind The Registry Office, a proud mom to one very cool kid, Maximilian, and mostly, I just really love love.
It makes my heart swell + I would absolutely LOVE to be the lucky lady who gets to marry you to yours.

MARRY US ALREADY!

want me to stick around?

pass me the mic

master of ceremonies.

I run the room.

You’ve already trusted me to marry you — why send me home now?

As your MC, I’ll keep the people + party moving: managing your runsheet, wrangling your guests, introducing the important bits, liaising with your vendors + making sure everyone is where they need to be, when they need to be.

If something goes a little tits up, I’ll wing it like a professional + keep the show rolling so nobody needs to know.

I’m your timekeeper, communications gal, problem solver + party starter. Basically, I deal with the shit so you can have a bloody good time.

CELEBRANT + MC — $2,000

Exclusively available as an add-on to my bespoke wedding ceremonies.

hand it over

day of coordinator.

I run the wedding.

You’ve planned the whole thing. Now hand it over so you can actually enjoy it.

A few weeks before your wedding, I’ll step in, get across your plans, vendors + logistics, create your master runsheet + become the person everyone comes to with questions.

On the day, I’ll manage your vendors, timings, ceremony, set-up + all the moving parts behind the scenes — troubleshooting whatever inevitably goes tits up without you (or your mum!) having to deal with it.

You’ve done the planning. I’ll make sure it all happens.

CELEBRANT + DAY-OF COORDINATION — FROM $2,850

Day-of coordination starts from $1,750 + is quoted based on the size, logistics + requirements of your wedding.

well, this feels serious.

you’ve made it this far, we should probably talk.

IT'S A DATE!
