Popular, professional and easy-going, Lisa loves going to work and never get tired of being a celebrant.
Thanks for viewing my profile and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
Weddings are the ultimate in HAPPY OCCASIONS, right?
I'd like to think that's all we need for a great wedding - happy people, but most of the time, it takes just a little fine tuning before the day to ensure it all runs to plan.
That's where I come in. Being a good listener and organised person, this gives me lots of latitude to put together a great ceremony that you and your guests will thoroughly enjoy. Whether you have a large gathering or a just a handful of your nearest & dearest, my enthusiasm and input is just the same.
There are a couple of videos to view (tab above) for an insight into my personality and professionalism. Like my varying hair colours, it's important for you to know that I'm a bit of a chameleon and I like to change things up. The great news for you is that I apply that to my work and ceremony writing, so you know you're getting fresh content and ideas.
Also please read the reviews. My couples took the time to write an honest and warm account of our time together so I hope it fills you with confidence to contact me and see if I'm what you are looking for.
Let the happiness and planning begin!
Lisa
About
A born romantic, I was drawn to become a celebrant about 7 years ago. I've been working as a full time celebrant for 5 years, working alongside my son Chris, who is a videographer. I've been happily married to Todd for 29 years and we have our daughter Cassie, as well as the very spoilt family dog, Riley. Fun for us is family gatherings, relaxation is time spent with friends, and gratitude is for the yearly trip to Bali at the end of wedding season.

Hi there,
Celebrants vary greatly in the service they offer and subsequently what they charge. The hardest part for couples is that they just don't know what questions to ask about that service. Professional Celebrants will offer a range of different ceremony options (short ceremonies, fully personalised ceremonies, elopements) to help suit people's budgets so when someone is quoting a price, check what that includes i.e. travel / a rehearsal / a P.A. system / reference material / cordless microphones / a copy of your ceremony ... and how many years experience do they have. These factors will all have a bearing on their fees. Just like any field of work, there are people who charge too much and people who charge too little so go with your instincts, see if their personality suits you both and go for fees in the middle. :-)
