FAQ
I offer a range of ceremonies from fully personalised weddings to elopements, “legals-only” ceremonies, and intimate micro-weddings. I also support families through other milestone ceremonies such as farewells and memorials.
Yes, as long as the chosen location is within the Greater Geelong region, you are welcome to pick any venue you love. You will need to arrange any venue permits or bookings, and I’ll take care of the legal paperwork and officiating your ceremony.
Absolutely. All legal paperwork and lodgement required for marriage are included when you book with me so you can focus on your love story, not the admin.
I recommend booking at least 2–3 months in advance, especially for weekends or seasonal dates. Legally, your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) must be lodged at least 1 month before the ceremony. Booking early ensures your preferred date is available and allows plenty of time to personalise your ceremony and complete all legal requirements.
I believe every love story is one-of-a-kind. I take time to get to know you, listen to your history, and understand what matters most to you. Then I craft a ceremony that reflects your journey; your connection, your values, and your vision for the day. Making the ceremony feel genuine, heartfelt, and uniquely yours.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your day, especially from so far away! It was such a joy to help bring your vision of a small and intimate wedding to life, and I loved being able to support you with the little details along the way. Seeing everything come together, from the vows to the setting, was truly special. I’m so glad it felt relaxed and stress-free, and that we could add a touch of humor along the way too. Sending you both big congratulations and all my love as you begin this next chapter together!
