Nicole Weiss - LOVELY DAY EVENTS

As one of the top Celebrants in Aus, she is no stranger to creating the most magical weddings for her couples and that starts with nailing down your processes and workflows. From emails to questionnaires to running the actual ceremony, I wouldn't be where I am today without her help.

I owe my skills in being organised to Julie Muir.

joanne brownlee - the soulful celebrant

"Coming into the wedding industry with limited connections, Julie first reached out to me simply to say hi and welcomed me to the industry, what a legend already! It wasn't until I stalked her that I discovered she is actually the best in the business and offered mentoring sessions! I knew the legal steps from my study, but my training didn't teach me squat in terms of running a successful celebrant business. Enter Julie Muir. I booked in a session hoping to level up my services. And boy did she deliver! What a wealth of knowledge she is! She had customised the session to include topics that I needed the most help with, including loads of extra ideas and inspiration that she had clearly written just for me. My business took off faster than I could have ever imagined and I am so grateful for the guidance Julie gave me in those early days. Investing in Julie has been one of the best decisions I made for my business."

What a wealth of knowledge she is!

sealed by steph

Julieā€™s knowledge of the celebrant industry is invaluable and has already taught me more than I could have imagined. I am always eagerly awaiting our next meeting and catch up as I know how much value she has added to my new journey and.. she just gets me!

Iā€™d highly recommend mentoring with Julie to every new celebrant. If nothing else, but to feel reassured about where they are at, establishing values, direction, goals and setting themselves up for success from the get go.

Julieā€™s friendship, support and guidance have helped me dive head first into this amazing celebrant world and I cant thank her enough for making me feel so welcomed.

Straight from the horse's mouth

sealed by step - review

Why do I choose to mentor you?

Iā€™m a cheerleader at heart. I believe in community over competition. I want us all to rise together because there is room for everyone and I want to help you find your voice and support you in attracting your ideal client.

To put it simply, Iā€™m crazy about you! I care! I want you to succeed! I'll go over and above to exceed your expectations (the same way I do for the couples I marry). There will be no holding back the gold nuggets. I want you to take away an abundance of practical ideas to implement so you can achieve real growth and success in your celebrant business.

I believe in kindness, hardwork and that the journey should be just as  ā€“ enjoyable if not more! ā€“ than the destination. 

Hi! I'm Julie.

nerida cain

She is an extremely smart and motivating woman and knows her industry and also knows a lot about promoting your business and being a true professional in a competitive market.

Do yourself a favor and invest in the mentoring it's so worth it and it will help you greatly and also boost your confidence as those first few months of being a celebrant can be stressful. 

I had no idea how much I would learn from her and that it was needed only that I had a gut feeling it was going to be worth it and it SO was worth it.

pamela mcintosh

Julie is the most amazing person I think I have ever met.

The mentoring Julie has provided has given me the confidence to be myself to show my own personality. This is a true gift from a mentor. 

Her energy and love for her celebrancy business is infectious.

karina dion

I started following Julie while studying to be a celebrant and was instantly inspired by her style, website, and social media content. When I booked a chat with her to learn more about her services, I found Julie to be warm, kind, and refreshingly straightforward, which was exactly what I needed.ā ā 
 "You don't know what you don't know," and I learned so much. I'm incredibly grateful for the time Julie spent guiding and teaching me on my celebrant journey. Not only is she an amazing mentor, but she's also a lovely person with a big heart. I was lucky enough to make a great friend in her during our sessions. Thanks for everything, Julie!

Julie is a genuinely beautiful person, radiating warmth and kindness in every interaction.
Her mentoring was an incredible investment.

Welcome to the Newcastle Celebrants' Book Club

Who else are we going to talk shop with when our partners get sick of all the wedding talk?! ā 

Other celebrants are the closest thing we have to work colleagues even though we never actually work the same wedding. ā 
ā 
If I have a new idea, I run it by them. When I want to celebrate my wins, it's other celebrants I turn to because I know they'll be happy for me. If I have a bad day, I'm straight on the blower to one of them to sort my head out. ā 
ā 
We support each other. We lift each other up. We don't see each other as competition. That's a scarcity mindest that none of us are into. We all know our unique strengths and what we bring to the industry. ā 
ā 
We are more interested in pushing each other to be better, to raise the bar, rather than worrying about who gets every booking. ā 
ā 
I love all their guts! Everyone in this photo and more not pictured here. (OK, that's definitely a phrase I picked up from hanging around with Loz)ā 

Did you know that most of the celebrants in Newcastle actually know each other and hang out together?! 

Competition? Nah!
