A little about me
Hello, my name is Alana Salisbury, and I would love to marry you!
There is a bit more to me than just love. I am a wife, a brunch connoisseur, coffee addict, dog lover (yes, I am that girl who chats to everyone’s dogs, so feel free to bring your dog with you when we meet) and I prefer winter over summer.
Born and raised in Adelaide, I moved to Melbourne in 2011 where I’ve developed my love for public speaking, having hosted charity events, beauty pageants, and even MC-ing wedding receptions!
While I was loving this side of my life, as I entered my mid-30s I realised that I’ve been a guest at more weddings than you could toss a bouquet at – my own included – and one factor that many weddings have in common is a celebrant who tries to take centre stage. Whether they come unprepared, kick off with an impromptu stand-up act, or haven’t taken the time to truly understand the couple getting married, I’ve seen it all.
My belief is that the spotlight should remain firmly planted where it belongs – on you and your guests! So, after seeing the best and worst that wedding celebrants have to offer, I took my love of love and mixed it with a dash of storytelling, a sprinkling of public speaking, a healthy amount of creativity, and a light dusting of humour to create Alana With Love – a bespoke celebrant service for couples who want a celebrant to guide them through their big day, not steal the spotlight on it.
Whether you’re after something traditional or quirky, in front of 5 of your nearest and dearest or 500, it would be my honour and privilege to guide you to your perfect, unique, and “100% you” ceremony.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, reach out to arrange a no obligation, no stress meeting over a coffee, tea, or even a cheeky bubbly where you can share your love story and your dreams for the big day.
If you want to get to know me better beforehand, you can always check out my Facebook and Instagram to see photos and videos from recent weddings and events.
With Love,
