Celebrant Sue passes her 600th wedding milestone!


Celebrant Sue celebrates her 600th wedding in March 2024
Sue's 500th wedding was on 24 March 2023  while her  600th wedding  was on 17th March 2024  (above) 


On the 24th March 2023 I officially married my 500th couple when Greg and Rebecca said 'I do' at my secret elopement spot.
I celebrated the marriage along with my trusted Let's Elope Gold Coast team.
Before I had a chance to update the website (and do a subtle boast - sorry I have been a bit slack with the website updating) I passed my 600th legal wedding milestone on 17th March 2024 when I married Natalie and Cameron at Summergrove Estate at Carool in Nthn NSW.

When I did my first wedding on 29th March 2016 I had no idea that my side-gig business would turn into my full-time job by 2018.

During peak season, I can work for weeks on end without a day off but I would never get a real job ever again 😜. I love the anticipation of my next wedding because it is such a rush. I show up and ride the excitement/love vibe high which can take hours to come down from. I literally drive away with the biggest smile on my face from every single ceremony I do...What a job hey? I mean, I get paid to have fun, laugh, smile and basically be in my element as I deliver a big truckload of 'happy' to each and every wedding that I have the pleasure of doing.
I am looking forward to having you be a part of the count as I charge towards the 700 mark.
