Michelle of the wedding

We loved our wedding, it was our own special day. We had some atypical ideas on how to make it ours: we wanted a circle wedding, we wanted the dress code to be ‘bright casual’, we wanted people to make their own flower bouquet when they arrived on the day and we wanted a friend in the circle there with us.


Lucky for us we have a friend who loves to stand in circles, Michelle Phillips, a real high quality circle dweller. She is also a registered wedding celebrant.


Our plan was to get married about 3 months after we got engaged. We talked to Michelle, and Michelle talked to us. It seemed possible. Michelle helped us to create a wedding ceremony that was inclusive, creative and community focussed. We stood in a circle of our friends and family and Michelle guided the moment beautifully. Love and gratitude was professed. There were vows and formal words and it all worked out great. 

Four years ago Michelle helped to made our wedding ceremony something we’ll always be proud of, and  for that we’ll always be grateful to her.
