Hi Future Newlyweds!
Hi there! I’m Heidi Robertson, a passionate and experienced wedding celebrant and MC based in the stunning Byron Bay region. With over 14 years of experience, I’ve had the joy of officiating countless ceremonies across the Northern Rivers, Tweed Coast, Gold Coast, and Brisbane.
From Paramedic to Celebrant (yep, from one extreme to the other!)
Before stepping into the world of weddings, I dedicated a decade to serving as an intensive care ambulance paramedic in Sydney. This background has equipped me with the ability to stay calm under pressure, think on my feet, and handle any situation with grace—qualities that are invaluable on your big day.
I’m lucky enough to be married to my best friend, Rob. We met, of all places, in the Amazon jungle (ask me more about that- it’s a great story!) We have two teenage boys that are gorgeous, excellent human beings. We are devoted paw-rents to two rescue dogs. As a family we have done a lap around Australia in a caravan; we love to snowboard, be in the surf, and seek out new adventures so that we squeeze every bit of goodness out of life together.
Three Facts About Heidi
I used to work on the American TV reality show ‘Survivor’ as a medic for the contestants and crew!
I’m a scuba diver, a snowboarder, and I’ve jumped out of a perfectly good aeroplane 5 times!
I try, but fail dismally, at not eating too much salted caramel ice-cream.
My Wedding Celebrant Style
What is my celebrant style? As your wedding celebrant (and optional MC for the reception), you can expect a highly personalised ceremony delivered in a story-telling style. It will give you and your guests a fun, happy trip back down memory lane where you get to fall in love all over again 🙂 We see how it is we’ve all ended up here today about to see you seal the deal and put a ring on it!
There may be laughs, there may be some ugly crying. What I can promise you is that there will be no generic words about the meaning of marriage (except the legal bits that we must do!)
Every other word is focused on the wonderful thing that you have found with each other and the fantastic individuals that you are. The people that your guests know and love so much.
I will always present myself in a professional manner, dressed appropriately with regard to your dress code and colour scheme. The day is all about you, not me.
