Systems with Soul for Australian Marriage Celebrants and Wedding Professionals

Because you create unforgettable experiences for your couples, and it’s time your business did the same for you.

You didn’t join the wedding industry to drown in admin. You did it to live a life filled with meaning, purpose, passion and connection.

Let’s build a VSCO Workspace system and a business that holds you too.

Book your Systems with Soul chat

All calls start with a free, no-pressure chat to understand where you’re at and what support would genuinely help.
On the call, we’ll pinpoint what’s not working, what to fix first, and whether you need an audit, a reset, or a full build.
Support starts from $495.

You love what you do!

  • You are the calm one. The grounded presence. The one your couples trust to hold the moment.
  • You show up beautifully. You create meaning, magic and memories.
  • You’re the one who holds it all together with passion, presence, and care.
  • You make it all look effortless.

But behind the scenes?
It’s a different story.

You didn’t expect business to feel this heavy.

  • Tabs everywhere. An inbox that never sleeps.
  • A client journey held together with coffee (or wine), sticky notes, and midnight rewrites.
  • Half-built workflows running on good intentions alone.

You’ve outgrown how your business runs and you can feel it in your body!

Kerri Watkins documenting a wedding client workflow experience

“I love this job… so why does it feel so hard and heavy? There must be an easier way.”

There IS an easier way!

There is an easier way.

It doesn’t have to feel hard and heavy. You’re simply carrying too much on your own.

And it’s time for a system that supports you.

  • You’ve tried to fix it.
  • Templates, tutorials, another system.
  • You’ve promised yourself you’ll sort it all out “when things slow down.”

But nothing quite fits. Nothing sounds like you. It never feels like enough.

So you keep going. Holding it all together. Looking polished on the outside, while the backend wears you down.

This isn’t just an admin or tech issue. It’s carrying the emotional load without support. And it’s draining your energy and affecting your family life too.

And if you are completely honest with yourself, it’s freaking exhausting.

Kerri Watkins surprised that so many wedding professionals have a business that feels hard and heavy and they carry too much

What if calm was your new default and you trusted your systems?

a system that holds you

You need a system that holds you, too.

Speed builds trust. Silence builds doubt.
And manual admin just can’t keep up!

You don’t need to work harder. You don’t need to burn it all down and start again.

You need a business and a system that supports you the way you support everyone else.

You need a system that holds you, too.

Today’s couples are planning from their phones, they want connection and fast communication… not silence. And you need a system that does the heavy lifting for you.

What if you had a system that matches the experience your known for?

  • Workflows that run quietly in the background while you rest.
  • Emails that sound exactly like you, without the midnight rewrites.
  • A client journey (you trust) from enquiry to “I do” and beyond (yes we are going to nurture them beyond the wedding day).
  • A CRM that actually supports how you work and feels like home.
  • Logging in and exhaling, knowing everything is flowing instead of scattered and “where am I up to with that enquiry”.
  • Clients feeling held without you having to chase or check.
    A business that holds you, the way you hold everyone else.

If that sounds like what you’re craving, start with a no-pressure chat.

Hey there, I’m Kerri

CELEBRANT | WEDDINGS | SYSTEMS NERD

An Australian Marriage Celebrant of 17 years and a systems and strategy nerd with over 25 years in tech, ops, and behind-the-scenes business support.

I offer done-for-you systems, workflows, automations and backend support specifically for Australian marriage celebrants and wedding pros who are using (or ready for) VSCO Workspace (formerly TAVE Studio Manager).

Whether your setup is half-finished or you’re starting from scratch, I’m here to make your systems feel calm, aligned and deeply supportive (like an extension of you).

Because I’ve lived the emotional load of holding space for clients on the biggest day of their lives, while also carrying the mental load of running a business behind the scenes. I know what it’s like to carry it all, and I believe you shouldn’t have to.

Your work matters because you matter. And the more supported you feel, the more supported your clients will be too.

About Kerri
A smiling Kerri Watkins introducing herself as celebrant, weddings and systems nerd.

This isn’t just tech support.
This is where the language of love meets the language of systems.

It’s soulful, strategic, celebrant-led business design, built by someone who truly understands:

  • The real work behind weddings
  • The invisible weight you carry
  • The operational chaos behind the magic
  • And the support that’s needed to create space and make your business feel like you.

Your VSCO Workspace becomes more than just a system or tool. It becomes your co-pilot helping you hold space for your clients without having to hold your entire business on your own.

Why this support feels different:

  • Built by a practising celebrant with 17 years in the wedding industry
  • Designed with the emotional load you carry in mind
  • Structured around how you actually work, not a template
  • Written in your voice to reflect your tone, care and energy
  • Blends soul and strategy for connection

This is where the language of love meets the language of systems.

Systems and structure that support you (and feel like you).

Here’s what we build together and how it helps:

Done-for-you workspace setup
A business backend that finally makes sense, built around how you work. No more guessing, no more admin spirals.
Mapped-Out Client Journey
From enquiry to “I do” and beyond. Clients feel held, you feel in control. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Clear Automated Workflows
Workflows that run quietly in the background, while you breathe, spend time with family and friends, or have a day off (because you deserve that too!)
Branded Email Templates
Emails that sound exactly like you. Warm, personal and professional. All written in your voice to support every step.
Seamless Client Experience
An elevated journey your couples trust (and rave about). 
A CRM that Holds You
You stop second guessing and start breathing.

Here’s what happens behind the scenes:

Duct-taped workflows
Clear, calm automations
Late-night rewrites
Emails that already sound like you
Guessing what’s next
A mapped-out CLIENT journey you trust
Hustling to respond
Auto-replies OR drafts that build connection
Feeling behind
Feeling supported and in control

This isn’t just a backend setup.
It’s business clarity.
An emotional exhale.
Trust.

Here’s what Systems with Soul looks like in practice.

External Shift…

  • Clear, automated workflows
  • A seamless client experience
  • An inbox and CRM you trust
  • Time back in your day
  • A system that works the way you do

Internal Shift…

  • Relief
  • Reassurance
  • Confidence in your value
  • Space to breathe (and create) again
  • Pride in how your business runs

It’s about having systems that support your creativity, your clients, and your energy.

Cheeky Kerri Watkins speaking both the language of love and systems

I speak the language of love and logistics. Ceremonies and structure.

And I’m here to make your business feel as beautiful as your ceremonies.

I’ve spent 17+ years holding space for couples during one of their most emotional, meaningful and important moments. And over 25 years helping businesses run with clarity, care and intention.

I created Systems with Soul for wedding pros like us:

  • The creatives.
  • The calm ones.
  • The magic-makers.
  • The ones quietly holding it all together and wondering how long they can keep holding it.

I’ve stood where you’re standing. Juggling ceremonies, enquiries, emails, edits, family life and everything else.

You don’t need to become a “systems person.” You just need support from someone who gets your world and builds systems that fit it.

Book your Systems with Soul chat

You don’t need to be “techy”. You just need to be supported.

  • You don’t need to explain yourself.
  • You don’t need to clean up your backend before you’re “ready”.
  • You don’t need to do it the “right way”.
  • It’s okay to want support. It’s okay to want to rest. It’s okay to want systems that feel like you.

I promise no jargon and no pressure to be anyone but yourself.

This isn’t about changing how you work.
It’s about giving your magic the structure, workflows and automations it deserves.
You are a heart-led creative.
And your clients deserve an epic client experience that doesn’t cost you everything.
You deserve a business that reflects that.

All calls start with a free, no-pressure chat to understand where you’re at and what support would genuinely help. Support starts from $495.

Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t need all the answers before reaching out, but if you’re anything like most wedding pros I work with, you’ve probably got a few questions first. Here’s everything you might be wondering (and a few things you didn’t know to ask yet). And if something’s not covered here, just ask. I’m always happy to chat.

On the call, we’ll look at what’s not working in your backend, what needs attention first, and what level of support would help most right now. That might be a VSCO Workspace audit, a reset session, or a full done-for-you build. You’ll leave the call with clarity on next steps, whether we work together or not.

That’s completely fine and very common. We start with a calm, no-pressure chat to talk through where you are, what’s feeling messy, and where support would make the biggest difference. Some clients begin with a VSCO Workspace audit, others jump straight into fixing what’s broken, and many don’t have a clear client journey yet. We figure it out together.

That’s exactly why this support exists. You don’t need to prepare, clean anything up, or get your thoughts in order before reaching out. I’ll meet you where you are and we’ll take it one clear step at a time.

Support is always tailored to what you need. Depending on where you’re at, this can include:

  • A full VSCO Workspace setup or rebuild
  • Mapping your entire client journey
  • Creating or refining workflows and automations
  • Writing aligned email templates in your voice
  • Making sure every touchpoint reflects how you work

No generic templates. No bandaid fixes. Just thoughtful, strategic support that actually fits your business.

Yes. VSCO Workspace is my zone of genius. It’s the platform I use myself and know inside-out, which means I can work quickly, strategically, and without guesswork. If you’re using something else, we can chat, but my hands-on work is focused on VSCO.

Pretty much everything behind the scenes, including:

  • Lead capture forms and enquiry automation
  • Workflow stages built around your real process
  • Personalised email templates
  • Contracts, invoices, and payment schedules
  • Questionnaires and client forms
  • Internal tags, notes, task lists, and structure

The goal is a system you trust and enjoy using.

Absolutely. That’s one of the most common reasons people come to me. We’ll audit what’s working, identify gaps or friction points, and refine or rebuild what’s needed so your system feels clear and supportive again.

Yes, and that’s a big part of what makes this work so effective. As a practising celebrant, I understand:

  • NOIM timelines and legal requirements
  • Ceremony prep and script writing
  • Rehearsals, wedding timelines
  • The emotional journey couples move through

Your workflows aren’t just organised. They’re emotionally attuned.

Yes. While celebrants are my main focus, I also work with photographers, planners, stylists, videographers, and other wedding pros. If you work with couples and want a smoother, more intentional client experience, this support can be tailored to you.

Yes. We’ll refine your voice, align your tone, and make sure your emails feel warm, human, and on-brand. Your automations should sound like you, never robotic or generic.

Yes. Automation doesn’t replace care, it supports it. Some emails are sent automatically, like instant enquiry responses where speed builds trust. Others are designed to be semi-automated:

  • The email is fully written in your voice
  • It lands in your drafts, ready to go
  • You personalise it and hit send

You’re not starting from scratch, but your care still comes through.

Definitely. We’ll look at how your clients feel at each stage, where confusion or overwhelm creeps in, and where clarity, reassurance, or celebration can be built in. Your CRM is part of the experience, not just the admin.

Yes, both. Depending on what you need, that might look like:

  • A one-off audit or reset session
  • Done-with-you setup or refinement
  • A full done-for-you build
  • Ongoing support as your business grows

Support is always shaped around your business, your energy, and your goals.

Always. If something’s overcomplicated or unnecessary, I’ll tell you. If you don’t need a fancy automation yet, we won’t build one. The focus is on what genuinely supports you right now and what will serve you next.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clear, consistent client journey
  • Emails and workflows that sound like you
  • A CRM that supports you instead of draining you
  • More time, more confidence, and more calm
  • A business that feels as good behind the scenes as it looks on the outside

That’s okay. Start with a calm, no-pressure chat to talk through what’s feeling heavy and where support would help most. No prep required, just a starting point.
