Serena Kase

Since becoming a celebrant, I’ve had the honour of working with many couples and families to create ceremonies that are heartfelt, memorable, and truly personal. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for going above and beyond—whether it’s helping to settle nerves, stepping in to manage last-minute changes, or making sure every little detail is just right.

I pride myself on being approachable, organised, and deeply invested in making your day everything you hope it will be. The kind words and glowing feedback I’ve received from couples and families over the years are a testament to the care and passion I bring to my work. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a couple light up during their ceremony, knowing it reflects who they are and the journey they’re on together.

Whether you're planning a wedding, vow renewal, or naming ceremony, I’d love to help you create a meaningful and memorable celebration.

Why I'm a celebrant: I became a celebrant because I genuinely love people, stories, and meaningful moments. There’s something incredibly special about helping couples and families celebrate life’s big milestones with warmth, joy, and authenticity. I believe ceremonies should feel personal and true to who you are—not just a formality, but a moment you’ll remember forever.

Treasured memories: Over the years, I’ve crafted ceremonies that are deeply personal, whether traditional or completely unique. I’ve included a wide range of rituals—from hand-fastings to sand ceremonies, cultural blessings to family tributes—and I’m always open to learning and embracing new ideas. Two of my most memorable experiences have been learning to present part of a ceremony in Spanish, and including a 'laying of the veil & cord ceremony' so I could honour a couple’s Filipino culture and their wishes to make their day truly inclusive and heartfelt.

Tips : My tips are:
1. Make It Your Day
There are no rules when it comes to your ceremony—make choices that reflect who you are as a couple. Whether it’s formal or casual, traditional or modern, your ceremony should feel authentic and true to you.
2. Start With Your Story
A ceremony feels most meaningful when it’s personal. Share your journey—how you met, what you love about each other, and what marriage means to you. These stories are the heart of your day.
3. Don’t Be Afraid to Be Creative
Include readings, rituals, or symbolic gestures that are meaningful to you. Whether it’s a hand-fasting, cultural tradition, or a shared laugh, little touches make your ceremony unforgettable.
4. Keep It Simple and Sincere
You don’t need grand speeches or flowery language. What matters most is that your words come from the heart. Your guests (and each other!) will feel that sincerity.
5. Practice Makes Peaceful
Even a quick run-through can ease nerves. Practice your vows, rehearse the ceremony flow, and make sure everyone knows where to stand and when to speak.
6. Be Present in the Moment
This is your time—pause, breathe, and soak it all in. Look at each other, smile, and take a mental snapshot. The ceremony flies by, but the memory lasts forever.
7. Embrace Imperfections
Sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan—and that’s okay! If something goes off-script, it often becomes one of the most memorable parts of the day. Laughter and real emotion are what make a ceremony beautiful.
8. Communicate Clearly With Vendors
Make sure everyone involved knows the plan for the ceremony—timing, music, entrances, and special elements. A clear brief ensures things run smoothly.
9. Trust Your Team
You've chosen professionals (like your celebrant!) for a reason. On the day, relax and trust the people around you so you can focus on what truly matters—each other.

and I'd like to say: Why Choose Me?
I’ve been married since 1991, raised three amazing kids, and truly understand the meaning of love, commitment, and family. As an experienced celebrant based in Central Queensland, I create ceremonies that are personal, relaxed, and full of heart.
I take the time to get to know you and tell your story—whether traditional, fun, or completely unique. I’ve included all kinds of special touches, from meaningful cultural rituals to learning new language and presenting parts of a ceremony e.g. Spanish, Filipino, and I am open to learning many more. I’m known for going above and beyond and making couples feel supported every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a celebrant who brings warmth, professionalism, and genuine care, and special touches to your wedding day I’d love to be part of your day.
