Tina Buri Celebrant

GOAL FOR SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR

To be a little more me.

To wear the dresses that feel good, not just the ones that look good.

To align with couples who remember that a wedding is about a marriage, not just a Pinterest board (…beautiful matters, of course. But meaningful matters more.)

To say what I think. To offer real feedback without second-guessing myself. I’ve got years of experience under my belt, and I need to trust that more.

To remember my worth.

And to wear my hair curly more often… once I figure out how to tame it properly. Curly girls, send help!

I’m entering a new era of weddings where bringing joy to myself, not just everyone else, is mandatory.

I’M STILL HERE 👋

… even if my face hasn’t been popping up on the grid as much as I’d like lately (posting is hard, man)

Truthfully, on wedding days, I pour so much of myself into the moment that by the time I get back in the car, I’ve got nothing left in the tank - and I wouldn’t exactly be showing my best self if I jumped on stories for a recap.

I’m trying to be a bit gentler with myself about that this year… because yes, I know the BTS content is great, but being fully present on the day matters more to me.

We’re right in the middle of March, which is always my biggest month of the year, and it has been such a beautiful run so far.

So many couples lately are really leaning into getting married their own way - not following rules, not ticking boxes, just doing what feels right for them… and honestly, more of this PLEASE.

Anyway, just a little check-in to say I’m here, I’m grateful, and I love that you’re in this space with me.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST WEDDINGS I HAVE EVER DONE

Big statement? Yes.

Deserved? Also yes.

T & L got married on their family’s beautiful farm, so this was special from the get go. A personal, private spot with the most incredible views (… I mean look at that dam and trees in the background!). I was blown away when I arrived.

They had a large crew of friends and family waiting to share the day with them. And also a healthy sized wedding party that stood by their side during the whole thing.

It looked amazing. But it FELT even more gorgeous.

This ceremony had me hooked from the get go! Some big belly laughs and guests chiming in, as well as some seriously heartfelt moments that had me, the celebrant, trying to hold back tears.

The importance of a wedding is not lost on me, despite this being my job. I feel so lucky that I get to do this as a profession, and so honoured that so many couples trust me with such a moment.

But there are weddings that I walk away from sometimes and say “I’m going to tell my grandkids about this one, one day”. And this was certainly one of those.

What a lucky, lucky lady I am.

Adore you, L & T. Please invite me to your vow renewal 😂

(Also, huge shoutout to Lauren for this spectacular photograph, and Anna for an incredible job on the florals)

AS RAYE ONCE SAID...

Baby (Woo-hoo), where the hell is my husband? (Woo-hoo)
What is takin’ him so long to find me? (Woo-hoo)

Tell him if you see him, baby (Baby), if you see him, tell him (Tell him)
He should holler

Why is this beautiful man waiting for me to get old?
Why he already testing my patience?

Wait till I get my hands on him, I’ma tell him off too
For how long he kept me waitin’, anticipatin’

And LORD did my Elliot keep me waiting!
But oh boy was he worth the wait.

In our almost two weeks of married life, Elliot and I have already been tested and have had to live up to our “in sickness and health etc etc” promises. I must admit, we haven’t really had a honeymoon phase. And after officiating three beautiful weddings this week (the first three as a MARRIED WOMAN!), I am oh so grateful for my husband. With all the curveballs thrown at us, I couldn’t have done it without him.

Shameless shoutout to you, babe - I will love you loudly, forever and ever and ever xx

OUT OF OFFICE

Just a friendly PSA that I’ll be out of office from 20.09.2025 - 03.10.2025.

All emails and DMs will be monitored during this time, however only those that are most urgent will be responded to (which will be difficult for someone with mild OCD like me who wants everything to get done immediately hehe).

I’ll be celebrating some pretty big personal and family milestones during this time, and can’t wait to give you a little snapshot when I’m back.

Current couples, please jump into my inbox this week if you need me for anything! And for any new lovers, feel free to still get in touch! I’ll send you some basic info but won’t be scheduling any meetings until after I’m back on board.

Love yas! T xx

SIGN LATER, ALLIGATOR!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how well signing your marriage documents directly after your ceremony (rather than during) can work?!

Tess and Jack had a super modern day planned, and signing later just made sense.

There were no awkward pauses in the ceremony where people were obliged to watch the signing. The engagement of their guest was kept the whole time. AND they got to drink champas while signing after, with nobody rushing them.

Yes, a little more casual, but sooooo cool 😎 (I’m doing this for my own wedding, so you know it must work well hehe).

THROWBACK

Me, way back when, about to perform my FIRST EVER marriage ceremony at

If I could only turn back the clock and tell this girl how wonderful this career path would be, all these years later.

Such wholesome memories 🥰
