Intro by Stephanie Van Der Plank of Women & Home Magazine:

Fiona Bowden (nee Briggs) (CU119), founder of Nifty Nuptials, living in Ballito on the North Coast of Natal in South Africa, where she worked as a Spiritual Counselor before turning her energies toward working full-time as a Marriage Officiant, Civil Celebrant and Commissioner of Oaths.

 

Meet Fiona – Your Favourite Celebrant with a Spiritual Twist

Fiona’s the kind of person who can calm a jittery groom, charm a grumpy grandparent, and still make a microphone behave (usually). With years of experience guiding people through life’s big moments — from “What am I doing with my life?” to “Will you marry me?” — she’s part celebrant, part counsellor, part life cheerleader.

She’s travelled the world speaking at conferences, retreats, and the occasional living room, sharing her unique blend of wisdom, wit, and woo-woo (the grounded kind). She’s worked with CEOs, students, spiritual seekers, home executives, and just about everyone in between — always with a warm heart, open mind, and a sense of humour firmly in place.

Fiona specialises in creating heartfelt, soul-stirring ceremonies that are also down-to-earth, inclusive, and joy-filled. She’s not into fluff, but she is into love — the real, imperfect, deeply human kind. She says, “There’s nothing quite like the moment a groom sees his bride for the first time. That look? Magic. It gets me every time.”

Whether you're tying the knot, navigating a life shift, or just trying to make sense of it all — Fiona’s the calm in your chaos and the sparkle in your ceremony.”
