Showers of Love Civil Celebrant

Your Celebrant

Meet April

The heart behind every Showers of Love ceremony.

I believe every love story is unique and deserves a ceremony that reflects the couple at its heart.

I'm April Daley-Holmes, the owner and celebrant behind Showers of Love Civil Celebrant. Based on the beautiful Gold Coast, I'm passionate about creating personalised ceremonies that celebrate life's most meaningful moments.

My approach is warm, relaxed and supportive. I take the time to get to know my couples and families, so that every ceremony feels authentic, personal and memorable.

While the Gold Coast is home, I regularly travel throughout Northern NSW, the NSW Central Coast and North Queensland to help couples celebrate their special day in locations that are meaningful to them.

I feel incredibly honoured to be trusted with such important milestones, and I genuinely love helping create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

Why April

Why Couples Choose April

Personal from the first hello

I take the time to learn your story, so your ceremony feels like yours from the first word.

Warm, never stuffy

No stiff formalities. Just a calm, friendly celebrant who puts you and your guests at ease.

The details, handled

From the legal paperwork to the run of the day, I take care of the details, so all you have to do is be there.

Part of the community

A proud Rotary member and a familiar face at venues across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW.

Community

Giving Back

I believe in celebrating life's milestones and giving back to the communities that make them possible. Supporting causes close to home, and further afield, matters to me as much as the ceremonies I create.

Rotary International

As an active member of the Rotary Club of Broadwater Southport, I'm proud to support Rotary's work in:

  • Ending Polio Worldwide
  • Supporting Youth Development
  • Promoting Peace and Understanding
  • Community Service Projects
  • Environmental Initiatives
  • Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Aid
  • Education and Literacy Programs

Local Community

Closer to home, I back the people and groups who strengthen the Gold Coast community:

  • Community fundraising events
  • Local charities and not-for-profit organisations
  • Family support services
  • Seniors and aged care programs
  • Community wellbeing initiatives

I also love championing the talented Gold Coast wedding and event professionals I work alongside. The best celebrations are a team effort.

Because love, kindness and community are at the heart of everything I do.

I'd love to hear what you're planning.
