Hello from Shauna Rowe …. your countdown to happiness!

About me … Gold Coast Celebrant Services

Thank you for visiting my website …

Born and raised in Brisbane, the youngest of 3 girls, I had the idyllic childhood, holidays on the Gold Coast and afternoons spent studying classical ballet.

Early Days…

At 16 I was accepted into the Australian Ballet School. This meant leaving my family and heading to Melbourne to study dance for 2 years. An extraordinary experience. I am still friends today with the other three Queensland girls who were also accepted during my intake.

Throughout my professional dancing career I was fortunate enough to travel the world and visit many amazing countries. This has given me a beautiful richness and appreciation of different cultures and their traditions! Therefore, with ease and grace I have helped numerous couples organise their upcoming Wedding Ceremony, Renewal of Vows or Gold Coast Elopement Ceremony.

Happily married for many years to a great guy who still makes me laugh. A keen surfer who loves to travel, and fortunately enjoys live shows as much as I do. With his encouragment I was able to follow my dream of becoming in 2019 a full-time Marriage Celebrant.

However, my greatest achievement is my daughter (sorry Jeff), I am so proud of the woman and now mother she has become. Her achievements, positive outlook on life and support has been invaluable. Feeling especially blessed as in 2020 and 2023 I became a Grandmother and upon meeting our gorgeous grandchildren we are all totally smitten!

My journey…

After hanging up my dancing shoes, life lead me to Hamilton Island where I worked for several years in the role of a wedding planner and coordinator. Hamilton Island Weddings has a superb reputation and I guess this is where my immense “Love” of all things wedding related began.

Moving into the role of a Marriage Celebrant in 2012 was a natural progression and a good fit. I’m so glad my journey has lead me to where I am now, a consummate professional who loves meeting new couples.

My Beliefs…

I am a confident public speaker, passionate and enthusiastic about my responsibilities as a Marriage Celebrant, and recognise the importance of providing exceptional personal service to every individual booking. Priding myself on offering inspirational ceremony ideas, whilst creating well written and thoughtfully delivered ceremonies. Ones that acknowledge love, laughter and tears. After twelve years I still appreciate  receiving outstanding reviews from my beautiful couples and their families.

When I’m not marrying couples or naming babies I am usually catching up with friends or family, trying new restaurants or being captivated by a good book. Although not dancing anymore I love being active and try and get to the gym a few times a week.

So if you think I am someone you would like to get to know…call now for an obligation free meeting or phone conversation. It’s really that easy!

Let’s take that journey together … it will be an amazing experience!

“Love is Love” it comes in all different shapes, sizes, gender and sometimes from the most unexpected places.
