Your ceremony should be the start of an amazing day, not the boring bit before the party starts at your reception! The couples who invite me to be their celebrant usually want a modern & fun ceremony that’s relaxed, unique & elegant.
No one wants a ceremony that has all their guests yawning so let me create a wedding ceremony that’s laid-back, engaging and a true reflection of your relationship. I capture all the little things that make you who you are as a couple in a boutique ceremony that will be remembered for all the right reasons.
As a full-time celebrant since 2014 I do a wedding or 3 most weeks which means I can spend as much time as we need to craft your perfect ceremony. You, your relationship and your love story are unique. Your love deserves the best on this most special of days. For a memorable & fun wedding ceremony, you need the best celebrant you can find, and of course you're found her!
As a certified Master Celebrant, I'm a pro writer & talker, so I'm confident, engaging, and know how to hold an audience. I have the life experience to bring the perfect balance of sincerity & humour to your ceremony, and the vibrancy to make it an experience to remember.
If you want to twist or flick some traditions, we can dodge the stale ones you don't want & even create your own, all without upsetting Nan!
I live in the Hunter Valley NSW & do most of my work in our vineyards & around Newcastle but I'm available 24/7 throughout NSW, across Australia, and even overseas. Always happy to travel but my availability is limited because of forward bookings. The opportunities are endless though, as this isn't a hobby or a part-time gig around my 'real' job. This is it - I'm here to make you happy by being THE celebrant for your dream day.
You deserve a wedding ceremony that reflects you, your love, and what you believe in. I can help you achieve your dream on the day. I hope to hear from you soon!
About
As a full-time celebrant since 2014 I do a wedding or three most weeks as well as lots of funerals. All are incredibly special to me as they're amongst the most important times in a person's life. With a background in events, I know that detail is everything - you need experienced professionals at your wedding! And you should know I'm old enough to have been married for over 20 years (to the same fella!) but young enough to NOT own a floral jacket or a name badge...

It's a good idea to ask people for a couple of reasons:
They can prepare something (remember the #1 fear people have is public speaking - though a few bevvies often loosens peoples couragae!) or they can decline if they would be too nervous.
You can ask people you know won't go on forever...
You can ask people who won't do something silly & embarass you (I've seen it happen & it's not great for the rest of your wedding...)
Lastly if you open up the floor for anyone to make a toast at your reception , you could be there for a LONG time.
Hope this helps!
