I do wedding ceremonies, renewal of vows, same-sex weddings, family joining, christening and baby naming ceremonies.

My services are mainly in Sydney and the surrounding areas such as the beautiful Blue Mountains, Penrith Vally, Mulgoa, and Windsor.

Being a Celebrant is my true passion and I'm lucky enough to work full time doing what I love. I am available 7 days a week at whatever time you wish your ceremony to be. Please call or email me and we can chat about how you would like your wedding day to unfold.

This is one of the first questions couples ask. Your chosen ceremony is personal and it should reflect your own views. The required length of the ceremony is also a personal choice, however, too short a ceremony is not a good idea. An average ceremony will last approximately 15 – 20 minutes. When working out your timing for the day, please allow ½ hour.

- Australian law prohibits persons under the age of 18 to marry without permission from a judge.

- A Notice of Intended Marriage (NIM) form must be submitted to the Celebrant a minimum of one month prior to the wedding. The NIM form will remain active for 18 calendar months from the date of submission – this form can be downloaded here. Couples should make an appointment with a Celebrant to get the form lodged and signatures witnessed. Please note that good professional celebrants get booked out as much as 12 months ahead.

- The following documents must be shown to the Celebrant:-

A Birth Certificate or Passport If you provide only a birth certificate then a driver’s license must also be shown.

- If either of you have been previously married, you must show evidence of how the marriage terminated – eg /Divorce Paper or Death Certificate of a previous Spouse.

- The law requires two witnesses aged 18 years or over must be present at the ceremony.
