Hey, My Friends… Let’s Do This! Sarah Chippindale is a celebrant, a wife, a mum of three… and someone who genuinely loves people and the stories that come with them.

Based in Port Stephens and always happy to travel, Sarah creates ceremonies that feel relaxed, natural, and actually enjoyable to be part of. Nothing stiff, nothing awkward, and definitely nothing your guests are just waiting to get through.

She takes the time to really get to know her couples, bringing a mix of warmth, humour, and real connection into every ceremony.

More than anything, she’s not just there to show up and read words. She’s there to stand beside you, as a friend, and help kick off one of the best days of your life.
