About Celebrations by Penelope
Celebrations by Penelope is the business of Penelope, an Adelaide marriage celebrant who has conducted more than 700 weddings. Her ceremonies are designed to feel relaxed, natural and true to the couple – meaningful without being stiff, and free of the awkward moments guests dread. Couples don't need to arrive with everything worked out. Penelope guides them through the choices and the legal steps, bringing a calm, confident manner that comes from having handled almost every situation a wedding can throw up. Her assistant Kristie Carrick is on hand on the day to help wherever needed, from catching veils to carrying bags. Full ceremony packages start at $1,550, and smaller options are available. For elopements and small weddings around Adelaide, the ceremony can be as simple as the couple, their two witnesses and Penelope, held at home, in a park or in a garden, with Penelope sorting out the details. She can also act as MC for the reception, coordinating timings, working with the other suppliers and keeping guests in the loop so the celebration keeps moving. Penelope knows many Adelaide venues first-hand. She has married more than 50 couples at the Adelaide Botanic Garden and takes part in wedding open days there, and she also works at city venues such as Ayers House, the National Wine Centre and the Adelaide Town Hall, McLaren Vale wineries including Coriole, Chapel Hill and Serafino, and Adelaide Hills venues such as Glen Ewin Estate, Marybank and the Inglewood Inn.
