About Me
Hi, I’m Jacinta, a marriage celebrant based on the beautiful Central Coast of New South Wales. I grew up between Sydney and Auckland, New Zealand and have lived on the Coast for the past 2 years.
I have been lucky in my working career to have great roles that let me meet incredible people. I have lived and worked in countries such as Mongolia, Kenya, Thailand, and Vanuatu, working on community development and humanitarian programs. I have always loved doing work that is part of something bigger than myself. I have a strong sense of social justice and a passion for making things better.
BUT I love marrying people and working in the wedding industry - it is the most amazing vibe. Families come together, your crew make the effort, couples look each other in the eye and speak about how special and amazing their person is to them - I won't lie, I often get emotional when you are! And by marrying people I get to meet amazing people and give my clients the best service for their wedding - and have them start their marriage with strong positive vibes.
I also speak Spanish (¡yo también hablo español!) and love learning languages.
While I live on the Coast with my partner, I work across the Central Coast, Hunter Valley, and Sydney — and I’m always happy to travel a little further for a love story.
Other things I love include coffee, my family and travel for fun.
If you're planning your wedding, I’d love to meet you and help make it official — in a way that feels just right for your vibe.
Speaking Spanish/ Hablando español
I am in a relationship with a beautiful Colombian hombre - but I didn't start learning español for him! We met in Sydney because I was looking for someone to practice with.
In 2020 I went to Colombia to study the language, to dance and to travel - fue increible! 5 years later - I am not fluent but we can definitely write some Spanish into your ceremony :)
Estoy en una relación con un guapo colombiano, pero no empecé a aprender español por él; de hecho, nos conocimos en Sídney porque buscaba a alguien con quien practicar.
En 2020 fui a Colombia a estudiar el idioma, bailar y viajar. ¡Fue increíble! Cinco años después, no lo hablo con fluidez, pero definitivamente podemos incluir algo de español en tu ceremonia.
The joke is that I became a marriage celebrant because when my sister got married she didn't ask me to be a bridesmaid - so I had to inject myself into the wedding party somehow ;)
However, all jokes aside, marrying my sister and brother in law was one of the greatest honors of my life, and I will take your wedding just as seriously. I ACTUALLY became a celebrant because I love the vibe of weddings, electric love and because I love meeting cool people from all walks and providing a service that really makes people happy.
Fun Fact About Me
I lived in Mongolia for a year, where it regularly reached down to -32 in the winter - but the heating is way better than in Australia so I could sleep in a t-shirt! This is where my love of language learning started - studying Mongolian was genuinely fun - сайн уу!
