OVERVIEW
Planning a wedding can be exciting and overwhelming, and Joanne Kirkland started Your Hand In Mine Ceremonies to bring you an easy and relaxed way of creating your meaningful ceremony, throw in some fun and in the journey draw everyone you love closer together.
Hello! If you are looking for an attentive and vibrant celebrant passionate about making your wedding ceremony meaningful, fun, and memorable, read on!
I am on a mission to flip the script on all the “unimpressionable” ceremonies I once sat through as a guest; your ceremony will be beautifully written with cheeky anecdotes and sprinkles of humor, and everyone would have teared and laughed as they come away a whole lot closer.
A rabid consumer of Netflix and a CrossFit lover, I am a very personable, down-to-earth, and fun person to work with. Meeting with couples for coffee is always comfortable, like a catch-up chat about your vision, your love story, laugh over the funnies, and get emotional over the sweet bits. Stop the clock, because no one is keeping track. And we keep the conversation and ideas coming even after the sun sets....

I am all about exceptional and professional customer service!
Part of the seamless approach to your ceremony is that I take all the legal marriage paperwork out of your hand and write your entire personalised ceremony! You have that many things to organise - writing a script that ticks the legal boxes, and remain reflective of you is just not on the cards.

About
Hi! Thank you for stopping by! I’m a Singaporean English/Mandarin bilingual celebrant, and I would love to work with you to craft your special ceremony. Besides being a Celebrant, I am also a Mum & Pet sitter (because my cat is great for social media, but not into walks or hugs and smooches!), so my time can be very flexible and a full working day can be all about you! Please get in touch if you’d like a chat about your wedding and how I can help you (always up for coffee!) :)

FAQ
- I will get the most important part of your day, The Ceremony, crafted based on your story, with minimal time and effort from you
- You have me all day! I rock up early, setup the PA system, help with everyone's pre-wedding jitters, organising your other suppliers and guests, a timekeeper if you are a stickler for punctuality, your best mate waiting at the end of the aisle and also give you that hand squeeze before you walk in.
- Go on your honeymoon post-wedding! You do not have to worry about any legal paperwork, I'll finish up when you receive your marriage certificate (and still hang around if you want a name change etc.. I am here to stay, really).
- And months later, when you look back on the year of planning and wonder what happened, the package I gifted contains all the planning components in chronological order. Relive the year, many years later!
A normal process would be to chat over a planning meeting, and have you answer two questionnaires - one with your partner and one separately. That is all I need.
Of couse, as you may be busy, and do not always have time to meet or answer questionnaires, processes have to be kept flexible. So, I have been able to get inspiration for couples' stories by listening closely to every correspondence we have, whether it is a short coffee catchup, or a 5 minute phone call or an after-work email.
More often than not, it is in these casual conversations that I pick up on very intimate titbits between you two, and that makes all the difference in your personalised ceremony. :D
Absolutely! I have travelled to the South Coast and Melbourne for weddings, and love it! All my standard packages comes with 30km from Canberra Centre, and anything beyond that will have a fee. Please ask for a customised package.
