Marriage celebrant Anita Revel, owner of Big Love Tiny Chapel, talks about ways to dial up the romance factor in Western Australia's Margaret River.
I wanted something fun rather than formal for my own wedding, so we got married by Elvis in Vegas. It inspired me to train as a celebrant to fill a niche that I felt was lacking — fun, relaxed and light-hearted vibes.
Our mobile chapel can be delivered to any venue, and it's currently parked at a gorgeous winery and restaurant in Metricup, Rustico at Hay Shed Hill, in preparation for a series of pop-up wedding days.
When it comes to why Margaret River is special, it's hard to know where to start. It has world-class wine and food, coupled with surf, tall timber forests, tonnes of hiking and cycling trails, and the most pristine air you could imagine breathing. The ocean sunsets are beautiful. Watching the sun drop like a ball of melted butter into the Indian Ocean is when you know life is good.
