I'M A PERTH-BASED GAL
WHO LOVES LARGE
While most call me Tina (she/her), I'm also known as Teen, Teens, T-Banger (hahaha, don’t ask!) or just T - and I'm totally happy for you to roll with whatever nickname rolls off your tongue too!
I'm a 31 year old Perth-based marriage celebrant and MC. Brimming with big love and a bubbly personality to match, I'm inspired by all of the things I love - and there's a lot.
I love sleeping in, hot chips with mayonnaise, a statement earring, anything bold, bright or sparkly, Formula 1, gazing at the stars, travelling, cooking and my incredible and diverse family (my Italian half, and my partner’s Kiwi half).
But if there is one thing I love most – it is making people feel at home, loved, cared for, fussed over, and to celebrate THEM. The wedding industry is in my blood. My parents are musicians, and I grew up being dragged to weddings all over Perth to watch them perform at ceremonies and receptions.
To this day they are some of my greatest childhood memories, and I’m fairly sure it was one of my biggest influences to jump into this role.
SO BASICALLY, I WAS
BORN TO BE A CELEBRANT
So out of all the career choices in the world, how did I find myself becoming a celebrant?
Well, I like to think of myself as a born communicator. I’ve been a professional public speaker my entire life, mainly in the health industry. While speaking always came very naturally to me, as I progressed through my career I realised I needed to use this skill in a way that truly lit my soul on fire.
Under my big and bubbly personality, I am really just a big ball of mush and a hugely sentimental person at heart.
As you get older, life teaches you some big lessons; of which I have certainly had my fair share (as I am sure you have, too). You begin to realise that at the end of it all, we’re only left with love.
I’m incredibly passionate about celebrating your relationship, in your way, so that you remember it forever.
They say that you should surround yourself with things that make you happy, and doing this does exactly that.
