Meet Freddie Povey

Hi, I’m Freddie—the heart behind Forever Starts Here. I’m a celebrant who believes that every life moment deserves to be honoured with intention, connection, and care. Whether it’s a wedding, a vow renewal, a baby naming, or a farewell, my goal is to help you create a ceremony that feels meaningful, personal, and true to who you are.

With a background in marketing, events, and communications, I bring creativity, professionalism, and a thoughtful approach to everything I do. My ceremonies aren’t just about beautiful words—they’re about telling stories, holding space, and marking transitions in a way that resonates deeply with you and those around you.

I’m also a proud parent to eight children—four biological and four through foster care—and this lived experience has shaped the way I see the world. It’s taught me the importance of love in all its forms, the richness of diversity, and the beauty of gathering to honour what matters most: our relationships, our stories, and our shared humanity.

I approach every ceremony with warmth, calm, and genuine care. Whether you’re standing at the beginning of a new journey or reflecting on a life well lived, I’m here to walk alongside you—to listen, to guide, and to help you create something truly unforgettable.

Let’s make your moment matter.

Services Offered & Packages

Legals Only Ceremony Package - $500

At My Perth Hills Home  (Up to 10 Guests)
Your Desired Location Within 30km (Up To 20 Guests)

For couples seeking a beautifully simple and streamlined option that focuses purely on the legal side of getting married.

It includes the required legal wording, declarations, and signing of documents, delivered in a very short ceremony (5-10 minutes) with no personalisation or additional elements.

It’s ideal for couples who are simply looking to take care of the legalities, rather than create a more meaningful or shared ceremony experience.

Couples are warmly invited to marry at my private Perth Hills location near Kalamunda — a peaceful and beautifully presented setting designed especially for simple, elegant ceremonies of up to 10 guests.

If you would prefer to exchange your legal vows elsewhere, I am delighted to travel to your chosen location (within 30km). Legals Only ceremonies accommodate up to 20 guests, offering the flexibility to celebrate in a way that feels right for you — whether that’s an intimate gathering or a small group of your closest loved ones.

Your ceremony includes the legal wording required under Australian law, your declarations, the signing of documents with two witnesses, and the official lodgement of your marriage registration. While streamlined, the occasion remains meaningful, dignified, and memorable — the first step in your married life together.

Includes:

  • Preparation and lodgement of all your legal documentation.
  • Legal vows and declarations.
  • Solemnisation of your marriage.
  • Commemorative Marriage Certificate provided on the day.

Elopements & Intimate Wedding Package - $750

At Your Desired Location | Up To 40 Guests

For couples, who want a smaller, more intimate celebration (up to 40 guests) without compromising on meaning or emotion, Elopements and Intimate Weddings offer the perfect blend of simplicity and significance.

Many couples initially enquire about a legals-only ceremony, but realise they’d love something that feels a little more like a wedding—without adding stress, structure, or anything over the top. This option offers that beautiful middle ground.

It allows us to move beyond just the paperwork and create a ceremony that feels warm, relaxed, and meaningful—while still keeping everything easy and low-key.

Whether it’s just the two of you in a beautiful location, or a handful of your closest loved ones gathered in a private setting, I’ll help you create a ceremony that feels authentic, personal, and truly special. These intimate gatherings often allow for greater flexibility and creativity – and a chance to focus entirely on what matters most: your love and commitment to each other.

While it’s called an Intimate Wedding or Elopement, there’s nothing minimal about the experience. It’s thoughtfully prepared, beautifully delivered, and designed to feel genuine and memorable—without ever feeling overdone.

Ceremonies held within the Margaret River region incur an additional $500 travel investment. This covers travel time, mileage, accommodation, and extended availability to ensure the same level of care, preparation and professionalism my couples expect.

Includes:

    • Preparation and lodgement of all your legal documentation.
    • Performance of your ceremony in your chosen location  (within 50kms).
    • Personalised ceremony introduction.
