Specialising in incorporating pets and animals into your ceremony.
Congratulations, you have finally met that one special person that you can love as much as you love your animals. I know how challenging this can be and understand that you want your cherished pets to be just as much a part of your ceremony as yourself and your partner.
I have been conducting marriages, civil ceremonies, naming ceremonies and funerals since 2005. Each celebration unique to the people involved, I tailer your day to suit yourself, any other significant humans and your animals. I have a passion for making your moments truly unique and special and I enjoy working closely with my clients to ensure your day is one with memories that will last a lifetime.
After struggling to find a celebrant that would allow my beloved dogs to have a part in my husband and my wedding, I decided to become a celebrant. There are many things that make your occasion special and having a celebrant that understands animals and allows them to play a role in your day is pivotal in the enjoyable and successful outcome of your celebration.
As an animal lover, I have experience with dogs, horses, birds, reptiles – including pythons – and sheep. Location is not an issue as I have conducted celebrations in Perth, Tasmania, Canberra, The Southern Highlands and The South Coast.
I look forward to meeting with you and helping you design a celebration that is perfect for yourself and your animal companions.
About
I started as a Celebrant in 2005 at the age of 25 and have worked tirelessly to develop my skills, knowledge base and resources. I was one of the first Civil Union Celebrants and am a strong supporter of Marriage Equality. As a qualified dog trainer, detector dog handler and dog judge, I specialise in incorporating your pets and other animals into your ceremony. I also help with more traditional weddings and theme based weddings. Lets get together and design the perfect wedding.
