Who I Am

I’ve always had a deep passion for organising and planning, and I believe that every special event deserves to be stunning. With this philosophy in mind, in 2020 I founded Evans Events & The Eloquent Celebrant. Whilst working as a Project & Event manager I have since gained many valuable connections with industry-leading experts and vendors. I’ll work day and night to guarantee that your next event will be filled with unforgettable moments.

September 2023

Riley and I would like to thank you for officiating the most beautiful ceremony for us.

Your friendly and bubbly personality fit our wedding so perfectly, we are so happy you were part of our big day! You were so easy to work with in the lead up to the wedding, you made us feel comfortable with the formalities and the ceremony turned out just the way we imagined it - short, meaningful and incredibly special! Also, thank you for welcoming us into your home and letting us wander your property.

Jindri & Travis - Burrawang

October 2024

Thank you for everything you did! We’re so grateful you stepped in at the last minute and got all the paperwork organised and processed so quickly. During the ceremony, when it started raining, we were a bit worried things might get tricky. But the photos in the rain turned out to have this magical light, and when the rain stopped, the air was so fresh and clear—it felt perfect. There were even a few drops of water on our vows and marriage documents, which we thought added a beautiful touch to the moment. Hopefully, none of the ink smudged!

Thank you again for being such a meaningful part of our day. You spoke beautifully and facilitated one of the biggest moments of our lives. We’re so grateful to have had you there to guide us through it. And now it’s official—we received our marriage certificate a few days ago!

Thank you so so much for doing such a wonderful job. You were perfect!! We could not have asked for a better person to deal with the most important part of our day.

Hannah & Ned - Nowra

Wedding Coordinator - November 2024

We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did for us on our wedding day, and in the weeks leading up. You were amazing and we honestly can’t imagine how it would’ve gone without you (it probably wouldn't have gone at all!).

You made us feel like things were under control in the days leading up to the wedding. You were able to handle every issue on the day, many of which I'm sure we never even found out were issues.

We are so grateful for all your hard work, and we feel incredibly lucky that we found you! Thank you again for everything,
