Hello I’m Atalanta Woodward, How lovely to meet you.
I'm a Commonwealth Registered Marriage Celebrant based in Brighton, Melbourne, where I live with my gorgeous husband, three nearly-grown children and our cheeky dog.
I’m genuine, love a good laugh, reliable and absolutely adore a celebration - especially a wedding.
The best ceremonies don't follow a formula. They feel relaxed, real and true to the people standing in front of me. That's why I take the time to get to know every couple, so together we can create a ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful and unmistakably you.
When I'm not celebrating love stories, you'll find me at working in Elwood at a not-for-profit charity, spending time with my family, planning our next adventure or escaping to the sun or snow whenever I can.
I can’t wait to be part of your day.
THE STORY OF ATALANTA AND THE GOLDEN APPLES
Atalanta, the swift-footed huntress from Greek Mythology, vowed to marry only a man who could outrun her. Hippomenes, knowing he couldn’t win on speed alone, prayed to Aphrodite, who gave him three golden apples. During the race he dropped the apples one by one, slowing Atalanta just long enough to win. They married and hunted together — the ancient 'happily ever after'.
