About
I'm originally from Tokyo.
20 years in Australia, married to an artist, have 2 kids.
I backpacked around the world for 3 yrs, did henna tattoo on the street, did fashion design, had an online Scandinavian homeware shop.
I studied interpreting/translation in a Uni here and became NAATI qualified, became a medical interpreter.
During my mat leave in 2011, I became a celebrant.
Been doing this for a decade and loving it.
Instead of travelling around, I now join my couples wedding journeys!

Not necessary!
One less thing to worry for you.
Tell your celebrant roughly how many seats you would like for the immidiate family in the front rows and the celebrant would make sure that happens.
It doesn't matter if you need more or less on the day. Other guests would be happy to move seats.
