Introducing Carmen Gonzalez: A Celebrant Who Speaks the Language of Love (and Also Spanish)
Meet Carmen
At Faithwood Chapel, we don’t just celebrate love -we honour it in all its extraordinary forms. From intimate elopements to cosmic unions, we believe all love deserves a ceremony that reflects who you truly are. Which is why we’re thrilled to welcome the luminous Carmen Gonzalez into our circle of trusted celebrants.
Carmen is more than just a legally registered marriage celebrant (though yes, she’s got that covered too). She is bilingual, queer-friendly, neurodiversity-affirming, and deeply attuned to the energetic and spiritual layers of love - I know, HOW EXCITING. For couples who believe in the power of intention, frequency, and a little “woo,” Carmen is your ceremonial match made in heaven.
Since becoming an authorised celebrant earlier this year, Carmen has already brought to life three incredibly diverse weddings - each one a soulful reflection of the couple’s story. Whether it was standing in front of 150 guests by the River Murray or leading a heartfelt ceremony for a handful of hearts, Carmen’s warmth, grace, and intuitive presence remain the same: grounded, joyful, and entirely devoted to your moment.
“I loved each ceremony as they were so unique, and exactly what the couple wanted,” Carmen says. That flexibility isn’t just in spirit - it’s in her woven words telling your Love Story. Carmen tailors every aspect of your day, whether you're eloping with short n' sweet vows or crafting a deeply layered ritual complete with cultural traditions, music, and personal vows.
And yes, she offers Spanish-speaking ceremonies too.
Her aesthetic? Think barefoot elegance meets energetic alignment. Carmen’s ceremonies are sacred yet relaxed, poetic yet practical - she’s the celebrant who knows how to smudge the space with sage before cueing your aisle song. Whether you're wearing vintage silk or cowboy boots, she meets you exactly where you are, and elevates your experience from “just a wedding” to something truly aligned.
As part of Faithwood Chapel’s signature ceremony packages, we match our couples with celebrants from our Little Black Book - an ever-evolving list of South Australia’s most fabulous, diverse, and kind-hearted celebrants. Carmen is now officially one of our favourites.
What we adore most about her? Her sincere desire to honour each love story as sacred. Whether you’re lovers who fell in love under the stars, co-parents blending families, or spiritual soulmates tying the knot during Mercury retrograde - Carmen sees you, hears you, and will hold space for your truth.
She’s also quick to laugh, easy to talk to, and has an eye for beauty (not to mention a knack for coordinating her outfit with your wedding palette). And did we mention she comes with her own vow booklets and a fully stocked wedding toolbox? Because of course she does.
So if your idea of a perfect ceremony includes opening the space with the Frequency of Love, crystal-charged vows, affirmations, and someone who respects your neurospicy preferences, Carmen might just be your celebrant soulmate.
We can’t wait to see her work her magic here at the Chapel of Love.
