East Gippsland Wedding Planner

38 EAST GIPPSLAND WEDDING PLANNER 2017 | www.eastgippslandweddingexpo.com.au CEREMONIES ARE A CELEBRATION Sherryl Veenker has enjoyed many cherished moments during her time as a marriage celebrant. “Being a marriage celebrant for me over the past 10 years has been a wonderful experience,” she said. “This is a very special day for all brides and grooms and I consider it a privilege to be asked to perform their wedding ceremony. “It’s very important that the celebrant and the bride and groom should feel a connection with each other as this is a significant occasion. I feel that a bond between both the celebrant and the couple is upmost in the smooth organising of the ceremony. “A civil marriage celebrant can customise a ceremony to reflect both the bride’s and groom’s personalities, with an emphasis on highlighting the journey that they are about to embark on, as a married couple. “The wedding day is one of celebration, love and commitment to each other and at the completion of the ceremony I always know that the love expressed on the day will last for many years.” Sherryl said it’s essential that when putting together a ceremony that both the groom and bride feel comfortable with what is being presented to their families and friends on their special day. “Be it the beach, winery, forest or even a friend’s backyard, all weddings have a sense of joy and expectation of what the day ahead holds for the family and the bride and groom.” Panthers Mensland is about making guys look sharp and feeling great!
