OVERVIEW
Hi, I’m Kristy. From our very first hello through to your “I do” I am here to make your wedding journey feel relaxed, fun and stress-free.
With a strong professional background before becoming a Celebrant, and now completed over a hundred weddings, I bring the experience, enthusiasm and the calm energy you deserve.
I love helping couples create unique moments in their ceremonies. Sometimes that’s a light-hearted laugh, other times it’s a heartfelt touch that brings happy tears. Whatever feels most you, I’m here for it all. My role is to guide you, offer plenty of creative options, and let you choose your own adventure so together we create the ceremony that looks, sounds and feels just they want you imagined your day.
You’ll also receive my easy-to-follow couple’s guide, packed with everything you need to feel calm, confident and excited for the big day, because I believe wedding planning should feel easy, fun and not overwhelming.

Hi there! Celebrants charge different fees depending on things like experience, what’s included in the package, travel, and the type of ceremony you’re after. The Marriage Certificate can either be included in the fee or a seperate cost and each state has different offices for the Birth Death and Marriages Register so the fees may also vary state to sate.
