About Steph

A little about me

Hey there!
Firstly, thanks for stopping by.

I’m Steph (Stephanie Carnell) and I am the face behind Sealed by Steph. I proudly became a Newcastle resident 18 years ago when I moved from Central West NSW .

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for over 12 years and am a Mum to three beautiful children. I am very family orientated and love being out and about with my favourite people. You will usually find us at a local cafe or taking the kids on a new adventures. I also enjoy cooking, entertaining and spending quality time with friends.

Why did I become a Celebrant?

I loved everything about planning my own wedding and wanted to reignite this passion. I enrolled in my celebrancy course and on completion, started ‘Sealed by Steph’ almost 7 years ago.

My husband and I had our own wedding in the beautiful Hunter Valley (Lovedale Chapel & Tamburlaine Organic Wines) and I am so excited to explore many more venues our region has to offer.

I genuinely care about making sure your ceremony is personal and a day you will remember forever.

Want to know more?

I would love the opportunity to discuss your ceremony. It’s important you connect with your celebrant and that’s why I offer an obligation free meeting for you to see if i’m the right celebrant for you.


Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Always happy to go above and beyond to make your day perfect!
