Meet Kym
Hi! I'm Kym
Authorised Wedding Celebrant
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a relaxed wedding surrounded by family and friends, or a simple ceremony focused on what matters most, my role is the same — to help you feel calm, connected, and fully present in the moment you say “I do.”
Kym Harris ~Marriage Celebrant
I’m an authorised Marriage Celebrant based in the Gladstone region, creating personalised ceremonies that feel warm, genuine, and reflective of the people standing in front of me.
No two couples are the same, and I believe your ceremony should never feel scripted or performative. Some couples want something simple and intimate. Others want storytelling, personal vows, meaningful rituals, and space to truly pause and take it all in. Together, we create a ceremony that feels natural, relaxed, and unmistakably yours.
Many couples may know me from The Heart Wood — my former private ceremony space built around a hand-crafted Sacred Union Labyrinth. While that chapter has now evolved, the heart behind my work remains the same: creating meaningful moments with warmth, authenticity, and care.
Before becoming a celebrant, my background included coaching and personal development work, which continues to influence the calm and grounded way I support couples throughout the process. I understand that weddings can feel exciting, emotional, overwhelming, and deeply personal — often all at once — and I’m here to help make the ceremony side of things feel easy and supported.
Whether your wedding takes place at a local venue, on the beach, in a backyard, or somewhere completely unique to your story, I’ll help create a ceremony that feels like home to you both.
No matter where your ceremony unfolds — at a beautiful local venue, in a family backyard, beside the ocean, or somewhere deeply personal to your story — my intention is the same: to create a relaxed, meaningful ceremony that feels true to you both.
How I support you every step of the way
I’m here to make your ceremony feel simple, relaxed, and completely true to you.
No overwhelm, no fuss — just clarity, care, and a gentle process that helps you feel supported from the moment we connect to the moment you say your vows.
Ceremony Planning and Personalisation
Your ceremony starts taking shape long before the big day.
I guide you through a simple, supportive planning process that helps you feel calm and clear at every step.
You’ll receive my ceremony planning guide, wording ideas, and options for symbolic rituals if you want them.
Whether your vision is minimalist or richly meaningful, we create something that feels deeply personal and completely “you.”
Writing Your Wedding Vows
For many couples, writing vows can feel like one of the most meaningful — and overwhelming — parts of the wedding journey. You don’t need to be a writer or have the “perfect words” to create something heartfelt and genuine.
I offer gentle guidance, prompts, and support to help you find words that feel natural, personal, and true to your relationship. Whether you want something deeply emotional, light-hearted, simple, or somewhere in between, your vows should sound like you — not a template from the internet.
From vow-writing resources to upcoming workshops, I’m here to help make the process feel easier, more meaningful, and far less stressful.
Guidance and Support on the Day
My focus on the day is to keep things flowing smoothly so you can be fully present.
I coordinate with your photographer, your wedding party, and your guests to make sure everyone knows what’s happening and when.
From settling nerves to cueing music to guiding your “I do” moment, I’m right there with a calm, steady presence — so everything feels relaxed and heartfelt.
Happy Clients
"We used Kym as our celebrant for our recent elopement and we could not have asked for a more down to earth, happy and relaxed person for the job.
Anytime I stressed about vows or what we were "meant" to do. She reminded me that it was our day and we didnt have to do things we didnt want or do things the "traditional" way.
Kym was more than happy to encourage us to be our authentic selves and just embrace the day together, our own way.
With Kym's guidance we had the perfect ceremony that was 100% us"
