Olivia Salkeld - Civil Celebrant

I am a young civil celebrant who takes a fresh and creative approach to any ceremony that I have the honour of presenting.

I, Olivia Salkeld am a registered marriage celebrant servicing Geelong, the Surf Coast, Great Ocean Road, Bellarine Peninsula, Moorabool Valley and the Colac/Otway region. I offer a variety of ceremonies including:

- Marriage ceremonies
- Renewal of vows ceremonies
- Love commitment ceremonies
- Naming ceremonies

Or any type of event you wish to celebrate with a ceremony! I aim to understand exactly what your dreams are and am dedicated to creating a personalised and beautiful ceremony.

Finishing my wedding season tomorrow with a bang! Marrying these two superstars has been a long time coming but 26/2 is the day!

Finally! My 2021/2022 wedding season starts today! I don’t often post on socials so I thought I’d take a sec to introduce myself. Olivia or Liv to most, I’ve been a registered Celebrant for 7 years now and it is one of the best choices I’ve ever made! The couples + their friends + family, the locations I’ve been to and the fellow Celebrant friends I’ve made - one lucky gal here! I tried to find a pic of me solo but then I stumbled across this lovely photo (thanks 😘) and thought it captured who I am - most happy when surrounded by my 3 spunks. As a Celebrant, I’m told I provide a calm and reassuring presence on the day and always strive to provide a personalised, beautiful ceremony. When I’m not marrying loved up couples, you’ll find me at my other role - Social Worker along with being a Mum. I often have my head in a book, hands dirty at my local community garden or I have a coffee or wine in hand with friends + family. Me in a nutshell!
I best go - I have a gorgeous couple to marry! Happy Saturday all 😘

REVIEW - “We couldn’t recommend Olivia more highly! She helped us organize our whirlwind wedding in just 7weeks, she was very involved & excited by the prospect of such a short lead up.

She texted me regularly giving me countdowns & telling me how many sleeps were left! This meant so much to both of us & it really felt like she was just one of our friends helping!

She conducted our ceremony so beautifully, she kept calm & positive despite the crazy wind & the last minute change of location (due to weather). Our ceremony was so personal & felt like someone who’d known us for years had written it!
Thank-you Olivia, we are so incredibly grateful!”

Terindah Estate - this venue along the Bellarine Peninsula sure know how to execute an amazing wedding for their couples 💫 I love that the magical You Yangs are visible in the distance 🍃 Brad + Steph’s wedding captured beautifully by @ Terindah Estate

CAMERON + STEVE - oh this wedding had it all! Laughter, tears, story telling, singing + a whole lot of love! From the second, the ceremony commenced, it wowed the guests. Cam + Steve entered together, hand in hand, whilst their good friend + talented musician, Mike sung ‘Time after Time’. I surely wasn’t the only one who got goosebumps + didn’t want Mike to finish singing! Cam’s mother Teena presented a reading which was an original piece by herself, husband + daughter. Their love story was shared before good friend Nicole serenaded us with ‘I Only Want to Be With You’ (how apt!) before we launched into the legal component of this glorious ceremony with further singing following ‘Higher Love’ + concluding with ‘You’ve Got the Love’. I think you’ll agree that Cam + Steve’s music choices could not have been more perfect. The celebrations soon continued under the new pavilion (such a favourite location of mine). Congrats to Cam + Steve, you’ve certainly “Got the Love” 🥰🥰

REVIEW - “Olivia did such an amazing job as our celebrant. She truly captured mine and Barry's personalities and created such a funny and loving ceremony for us! We could not recommend Olivia enough! She made the entire process so easy from pre meetings to rehearsal and then our wedding day. Thank you so much!” Barry + Mollie 🥰 Photography work of the taiented

This was the moment I stepped forward out of the audience, at John + Shelleys combined birthday party, during speeches + declared in my loudest voice “Yes! I’m an authorised Marriage Celebrant! I can marry you!” And yes I am heavily pregnant in this photo, 39 weeks to be exact and yes I’m in fancy dress - what a hoot! Many celebrants will agree with me, surprise weddings are the best! Anyone agree?

DANNY + ELLY - YAH!! We’re married! This is the moment I declared D+E husband + wife + there was excitement all around. This gorgeous duo were wed by yours truly at Fairhaven Beach early one Sunday morning with only D’s lovely parents as official witnesses. The ceremony was brief with only the legalities spoken but it was no less beautiful than a long wedding because what was evident + didn’t need to be spoken in words was the fact D+E adore each other. Celebrations followed later that very day (another post on that later). On the beach, their marriage was toasted with Moet with it recorded by the incredible (thanks to Nathan for these images too!) + photographed by the award winning
Congratulations Danny + Elly + thank you 🥰 @ Fairhaven Beach

REVIEW - “We are SO happy we asked Olivia to be our celebrant and extremely grateful she was available for our wedding. Olivia was so kind, so calm and genuinely interested in our ideas and what we wanted for our ceremony. The ceremony she ran was so amazing and our guests have spoken about how much they loved the ceremony. Her script and words were so brilliantly written and so thoughtful.

We can’t thank Olivia enough for being a really special part of our day.

I would recommend her to anyone needing a celebrant! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!” Jamie + Simone 🥰 Photography work of at the amazing 💕

In recent months I have taken a step back with weddings, not only due to the dreaded C word but due to a blessed 3rd round of maternity leave. Therefore I am instead remembering past weddings, one of which was Danny + Amanda’s, which I recall was a beautiful Autumn day, much like it is today, captured by at one of my fave venues

Don’t worry, you’re still on my Marriage Celebrancy page, so why do I have an image of this box?! Well, to tell you all about .boxes !! One of my former grooms Patrick is one talented chap + creates these gorgeous boxes. Now I know we’ve just had Easter but jump on over to Patrick’s page, you may just want to place an order for Christmas or an upcoming birthday. The quality of the craftsmanship is amazing and produced locally, here in Geelong.

I’d love to know what I said in this moment to cause bride, Shelley to smile with so much joy! The wonderful John + Shelley were married their way, a surprise at their shared birthday party with their two children each by their side. And yes, it was a 60’s Hippy dress up theme!
