We are thrilled to introduce you to Lulu Pomana the owner of the award-winning company - The Message Co! Lulu was a Travel Agent for many years and managed her own agency for a while. After years travelling the world, Lu had babies – she is busy to mum to three beautiful little girls – and she was keen to find something she could do herself.

I'm your host and professional wedding MC, Nathan Cassar, and today we have a special guest who's all about creating authentic and engaging ceremonies: Meggan Brummer, also known as Sydney Celebrant Services.

Meggan isn't your ordinary celebrant. She's a yoga and meditation teacher, an internationally published writer, and a marriage celebrant who infuses every ceremony with the magic of storytelling. Couples adore her for delivering ceremonies that are genuine, heartfelt, and devoid of any fluff.

But that's not all there is to Meggan. Did you know she grew up on a sugarcane farm in Zimbabwe? With degrees in Psychology and Drama, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, traveling the world solo before settling in Australia. She's lived in India, became a yoga teacher, and even started her career as a funeral celebrant. Talk about a fascinating journey!

In addition to her professional pursuits, Meggan has some exciting hobbies. She and her family enjoy snorkeling in Balmoral, where they've made headlines for returning lost wedding rings and even a $20,000 Cartier watch! Meggan's zest for life extends to her love for meditation, singing in Sanskrit, and her passion for making a meaningful difference.

Today, Meggan joins us to share her wealth of knowledge on wedding ceremonies. We'll explore the five mistakes couples should avoid making at their wedding ceremony, ensuring that your special day goes off without a hitch. Plus, Meggan will provide five invaluable tips for crafting unforgettable wedding vows, helping you express your love in the most meaningful way possible.

So, if you're ready to elevate your wedding ceremony to new heights and learn from the wisdom of a true celebrant extraordinaire, you're in for a treat. Meggan, welcome to the show!

Welcome to this episode of Season 3 of the Just as Planned TV and Podcast, where we bring you exciting and unconventional wedding experiences and some of the best expert insights around the world. I'm your host and professional wedding MC, Nathan Cassar, and this week get ready to turn up the volume on your wedding day because we have a true wedding rockstar joining the show – Jeff Hindmarsh, famously known as 'Joined By Jeff.’

Jeff isn't your average wedding professional. He's not just a celebrant; he's a celebrant, DJ, MC, pyrotechnics extraordinaire, photobooth provider, and even a saxophonist! Based in the picturesque Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Jeff has been part of over 3000 weddings throughout his career. That's right, he's seen more wedding cake than most of us have seen in a lifetime.

Jeff's style is all about keeping it light and entertaining. He's got a wicked sense of humor, a few quirks like hating coriander, and an epic wardrobe collection that can turn any wedding into a show-stopping event. He loves the beach and serenading guests with his saxophone, and if you want to get on his good side, just serve him some tacos or Dragonfruit.

In fact, Jeff's love for weddings knows no bounds. He once married a couple inside a KFC, proving that love can blossom in the most unexpected places. And when it comes to your big day, he's not just about ticking legal boxes; he's here to celebrate how foolishly in love you are.

In today's episode, Jeff is ready to dish out insights into crafting unforgettable wedding experiences. We'll delve into some of the most memorable and unconventional weddings he's been part of, including the fascinating story behind a wedding inside a KFC. Jeff will also unveil his crowd-warming techniques, sharing how to get everyone on their feet and in the party mood at your wedding. Beyond his unique combination of talents, Jeff will explore the broader topics that can help couples plan their dream weddings, from adding a touch of adventure and fun to staying organized and creating unforgettable moments.

Heidi is not your typical celebrant, content creator, or MC. She's a party-starting celebrant, a memory-making content creator, and a chaos-controlling MC—all rolled into one. She's the vendor you need to take your wedding to the next level, where you and your guests will experience something unforgettable, something that can't be compared to anything else. But Heidi's mission goes beyond just creating epic weddings; she's on a journey to make weddings meaningful in a whole new way.

What makes Heidi truly unique is her love for chaos, the shock factor, and, of course, the fun! She's become known for bringing a Nerf Gun to discourage guests from taking photos during the ceremony. Many of her couples even play Shot Roulette to decide who says their vows first. There's almost nothing she won't do for an amazing photo op or guest reaction (except a shoey – she will NEVER do a shoey!).

But here's the real game-changer: Heidi is the driving force behind "The Wedding Mavericks." It's an eclectic group of inspiring wedding visionaries who are shaking up the status quo with daring innovation. And what's even more exciting is that they're auctioning off a Melbourne Charity Wedding in 2024, and they want YOU to be a part of it!

This isn't just any wedding; it's a wedding with a purpose. The charity they've chosen is 'The Lost Dogs Home in Melbourne,' a small local charity without big government backing. Here's how it works: vendors will provide their products or services as part of a total wedding package. The package will be auctioned off on Valentine's Day 2024, and interested couples will engage in bidding. The winning couple will pay their winning bid directly to the charity. The wedding itself is set for the 1st of August 2024, giving the couple ample time to fill any gaps not provided in the package.

If you've ever dreamed of having a wedding that not only celebrates your love but also gives back to the community, then you won't want to miss this episode. Heidi Rayment is here to share the incredible story behind 'The Wedding Mavericks' and how you can be a part of this unique and meaningful wedding experience. Heidi, welcome to the show!

About our Guest:

A party startin' Celebrant, a memory makin' Content Creator, and a Chaos Controlling MC - the number one vendor you need to elevate your wedding to that next level, that place where you can your guest could never forget or compare it to anything else! This gal decided that while weddings are already possibly the most amazing experience humans can gather for, she wanted to deepen that meaning even further, by organising a wedding for charity...

Welcome to Just as Planned TV and Podcast, where we bring the wedding experts to your home to provide you with insider tips and knowledge to help make your special day go... Just as Planned. I'm your host and professional wedding MC, Nathan Cassar, and in this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to Glenn Millanta, also known as Sydney Celebrant Glenn, who is a fantastic and dynamic Celebrant/MC. You may recognize him as the Celebrant who married Nasser and Gabrielle in 2019 on Season 5 of Channel Nine's Married at First Sight. But he's much more than just a TV personality. He's an actor, presenter, model, ex-radio announcer, and copywriter, and these skills have helped him craft memorable ceremonies and perform them so that they're anything but boring. But that's not all, Glenn also has a substantial online following for some of his "awful" (yet oddly addictive, his words!) cheesy content creation. He collects vinyl records, is a movie buff, and enjoys a nice gin and far too many sweets. Perfect for being in the wedding industry! Today, Glenn will be sharing his expert insights on finding and choosing the right Celebrant, what couples need to do legally to prepare to marry, and the cost of a Celebrant and what you're paying for. Glenn is also a big advocate for encouraging couples to get creative and do their wedding their way! In case you are already wondering, there is no right or wrong, and NOTHING is off limits! And, of course, Glenn always brings a sense of fun to a couple's wedding, so we'll be talking about how he injects that sense of joy into every ceremony he officiates.
