Ashley Ogle
Marriage Celebrant + MC
I bring laughter, sweet moments but playful vibes to your ceremony. I will create the right atmosphere and build the energy for what will continue on your wedding day and your guests will believe you had a friend marry you!
My style is relaxed, natural and fun. Being serious and trying to force styles isn’t my thing so what you see you will get! No "taking over the show" just beautifully spotlighting you both and your unique love story...
I will write and deliver you a ceremony that 100% mirrors you as a couple. A completely written from scratch, sentimental and fun ceremony – a celebration of your love FILLED with all the feels!!
I VALUE connection.
I THRIVE while bringing joy to others.
My FAVOURITE part about being a celebrant is building relationships with my couples, to tell a unique love story that NOT ONLY feel genuine, warm and fuzzy - but sets everyone up to be ready for an INCREDIBLE celebration following!
I SET THE TONE FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY! It's a honored role!
Being your Celebrant is about me officiating a beautiful ceremony that honours your journey together through a three sided love story, losing the “traditionally boring” marriage bits, ticking the legal bits and REALLY making the ceremony a TRUE CELEBRATION of your LOVE.
My job is to take all of the pressure off when it comes to the preparation of your ceremony and on site at the ceremony – which means you get to relax (as much as you can) and be completely present in the moment.
Picture me as your professional hype girl who shows up well presented and COMPLETLEY in the know, ready to get things done just as you've visioned.
I guarantee your ceremony will be relaxed, sentimental, personal, lighthearted and full of good vibes!!
If you're after a theatrical ceremony with a celebrant that will "put on a show", I'm not your lady!
I'm confident in my ability to bring people together, make them feel good, create beautiful experiences, tell engaging stories and come up with quick solutions if you ever need them.
I love to befriend you well before your ceremony (but not in a weird way :p). Building a connection between one another helps me to better understand you as a couple – see how you interact as a couple, identify what make you both unique and then create a unique script (written from scratch) that will be SURE to set yours, friends and families hearts on fire...
My Very Own
Little Love Story.
Back in 2010, I found myself mixing drinks as a bar chick, serving the locals with laughter and zest. Little did I know, a certain someone would waltz into that bar with his friend, Anthony. Anthony was always so incredibly nice, and fate kept finding ways for our paths to cross. Anthony's mate just so happened to be dating one of my besties, and that's where our story truly began!
Fast forward to our VERY own Wedding date of October 31st, 2015—cue high fives and the exchanging of vows—it was as we were on the Blue Room boat on Sydney Harbour that WE sailed into our happily ever after (no pun intended).
That very year, we packed our home and relocated from Richmond, NSW, to (what I cheekily refer to it as) gods country, The Hunter Valley—a move that reshaped my world entirely!
Since then, our lives have been a whirlwind of adventures. Together, we've built the home of our dreams, explored overseas, and been blessed with our two precious little girls, Sydney and Ryley. Life has been a joyous rollercoaster, brimming with moments that have filled our hearts to the brim and supporting each other through some of the hardest sorrows and challenges.
Anthony and I have weathered storms and danced in the rain, experiencing life's peaks and valleys. Yet, standing side by side, our love has only grown stronger. They say, 'Marriage is not a destination, but a journey,' and over the years we've been together, we've embraced change... Evolving not only as a couple but also as individuals. It's the constant communication, learning, and growth that keep the flames of our love burning bright.
When I'm not crafting ceremonies as a Celebrant, you'll find me walking or soaking up time with my family—be it a local park, by the beach, visiting family in the Hawkesbury, Dunedoo and Canberra or hitting the road for an adventure for a weekend getaway in our 1974 Franklin Caravan (SO MUCH FUN)... Quality time speaks volumes to my heart.
I too have a deep love for sharing good times with our friends, belting out a tune in the car, a spontaneous sing-along, and dancing like no one's watching—especially in the kitchen with my precious girls - they're always telling me to "shake your butt mum"!
Now that you know a bit about me, if your gut tells you, PLEASE reach out.
