Meet Tina the Celebrant – Adelaide’s Fairy Godmother of Love
If you’re searching for an alternative to the Adelaide Marriage Registry or a civil ceremony at Births, Deaths and Marriages SA, let us introduce you to someone who makes getting married feel personal, warm, and utterly unforgettable - Tina the Celebrant.
At Faithwood Chapel, we work alongside some of the most talented celebrants in South Australia. But every now and then, someone comes along who becomes not just a favourite, but family. Tina is one of those people.
The Celebrant Who Can Do It All (and Has)
Need someone to wear a Chewbacca mask for your Star Wars-themed wedding on May the Fourth? Tina’s your girl. Planning an elegant, heartfelt elopement where every word matters? Tina’s already thought of everything.
She is what we lovingly call the chameleon of celebrants - effortlessly adapting to each couple’s vibe, voice, and values. She’s been known to deliver wildly joyful ceremonies that have guests in stitches, and tender, poetic vows that bring entire chapels to tears.
Tina is professional and playful, with a remarkable ability to put everyone at ease - from nervous grooms to spirited grandmothers. No two ceremonies she delivers are ever the same, because no two couples are.
From Family Law to Full-Time Love
Before becoming a marriage celebrant, Tina spent 15 years as a family lawyer. She’s seen the full spectrum of human relationships - and she’s chosen to build her next chapter on one belief:
Love always wins.
In Tina’s words:
“Being an Authorised Marriage Celebrant gives me the most wonderful opportunity to really get to know you, so when you are making those vows to the love of your life, you are also standing beside a (pint-sized) friend.”
She began officiating weddings in 2022 as a weekend passion project. By February 2025, she’d made it her full-time calling - and we couldn’t be more grateful.
The Chapel’s Best-Kept Secret
At Faithwood, Tina isn’t just a celebrant - she’s part of our core team. When Jewel and Hannah aren’t on-site, it’s often Tina who steps in to host weddings at the chapel, ensuring everything flows with grace and sparkle.
She meets couples quickly, works efficiently, and always shows up prepared to do whatever it takes to make your day extraordinary. She’s not just a celebrant - she’s a solution-finder, an atmosphere-setter, and a real-deal wedding whisperer.
Why Faithwood Couples Adore Her
Because she listens. Because she gets it.
Because her ceremonies never feel like a script.
Because she makes couples feel celebrated, not just legally married.
And most importantly, because when you’re standing in front of your person, holding hands in the most beautiful chapel in Adelaide, Tina’s presence makes you feel like everything’s going to be okay. Better than okay — joyful, effortless, and exactly as it should be.
If you’re planning an elopement in Adelaide, considering a more intimate alternative to the Adelaide marriage registry, or simply want a ceremony that feels like you — let us match you with Tina. She’s magic.
