Karryn
Director & Wedding Day Pet Assistant
Cert IV Veterinary Nursing
I’m Karryn, an animal lover and qualified Vet Nurse, working in the veterinary industry since 2015. After graduating several years prior, I gained my voluntary Veterinary Nurse Registration with the VNCA in 2020, a commitment to continued learning and a national code of conduct. I’m currently the Lead Veterinary Nurse at a busy clinic in Geelong and absolutely love it!
I have a background of more than 15 years in customer service and management roles, so I felt well-equipped to jump into the wedding industry!
My husband Alex and I live in Geelong with our little family - we have Theodore the Devon Rex and (since our wedding) we've adopted two Whippets, Stella & Millie. We had our first human baby, Eviana, in January 2022 and are very much in love with our little girl!
You'll sometimes see Alex at weddings with me, taking photos and helping out if we're chaperoning multiple pets.

She and her husband Chris eloped in NZ on the top of The Remarkables - although they eloped, she absolutely LOVES weddings and seeing the personal touches couples incorporate into their big day (especially the less-traditional!)
