About
I have been a marriage celebrant and Justice of the Peace for 6 years . I love meeting new people and helping them create a ceremony that is a true reflection of who they are and what their relationship means to them. I live a relaxed life in the NSW Hunter Valley and enjoy spending time with my young family as well as contributing to charities in my community. My proudest moment was being named NSW Regional Woman of the Year.

FAQ
If you do not live local to the Hunter Valley area and are not planning to be visiting anytime soon we can always connect via Facetime, Skype or Zoom. Having a face to face meeting even if it is just online os often all that is needed to get to know each other and determine if I am the right fit for your wedding.
I lodge all of your wedding paperwork directly with Births, Deaths and Marriages within the first working day of your marriage taking place. BDM can take up to 6 weeks to register your marriage. During this time I am in touch with you with more information as to how to access your "Official" wedding certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages.
A $200 deposit is all that is required to have your wedding date held for you?
Yes I do provide my own PA and wireless microphone at no additional charge. You can run any pre-recorded music through my system should you choose.
Yes, I can provide 2 white chairs and a folding table with lace table cloth for your use at no additional charge. Many wedding locations do provide these as a part of their wedding package but if you are being married somewhere remote or where this included in the package please let me know so I can provide them for you.
There are alot of ways that I can assist you to create some heartfelt vows. I tend to start by writing some vows for the bride and groom. You can then choose to use exactly what I have written, or you may like to tweek them to personalise them or you may choose to scrap all that I have written and write your own vows. Which ever way you chose I will be happy to guide you.

Are celebrants usually doing one per day? or two on some days? How is this possible?! haha
Something Blue Weddings
About twice I year I will have 2 weddings on a day, BUT ONLY when there are hours between each wedding and a short distance to travel between the two weddings. Locations are usually fairly close in the Hunter Valley but I still ensure there are 2-3 hours between both weddings. I would be reluctant to book a wedding with a celebrant that was needing to rush between multiple ceremonies. Never hesitate to ask this question of your celebrant.
Any advice on writing my vows to my wife-to-be?
