OVERVIEW
My specialty is happy, upbeat weddings & ceremonies, both big, small and completely unique! I will help you to create a wedding ceremony that people remember for all the right reasons - personal, authentic and truly reflects your love story. It’s your day to commit to each other for the rest of your lives so let’s do it your way!
I love my job and will travel near and far just to be part of your special day! I am a Victorian based wedding celebrant but will travel to the Gippsland, Lakes Entrance, Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula and beyond.
We’ll be a perfect fit if you want to have a wedding ceremony that is fun, all about you and your guests and celebrates your love story the way you want to! Whether the bride wants to kick off her shoes and say “I do” on the beach, get the guests involved in the ceremony or have a dress up themed wedding ceremony, I’m all for creating a ceremony that is unique and is tailored to your style as a couple.
In return, as your celebrant, I will be your guide to your wedding ceremony, giving you plenty of options, completing all your paperwork and opening your mind to the things we can do to make your ceremony unique as you.
From beginning to end your ceremony will be exactly that – yours. Written from scratch, no cliche readings or ‘We are gathered here todays’. You will have the peace of mind knowing that everything will be legally in order, presented with warmth and love with professional equipment.
I will ensure our i’s are dotted and t’s crossed, so on your big day you can just relax and enjoy the moment!

About
I’ve been a bridesmaid three times, married twice (a wedding in Australia & another celebration in my husband’s home country of Turkey), I’ve thrown three decently decadent hens parties & I’ve attempted, but ultimately failed to put back together a malfunctioning bouquet. My real talent shined when I became a wedding toast regular, and it wasn't long before I became a celebrant. I love public speaking, spending hours coming up with that 'awww' moment & having a bit of fun with the happy couple!

FAQ
Yes, I do.
You will want to provide a song choice for while guests are arriving, while you walk down the aisle, while we sign the certificates, and as you both walk down the aisle after the ceremony.
If you would like to play music during your ceremony, you will need to provide those songs as well as someone to manage the playlist and timings.
You will need two witnesses to sign your wedding papers at the ceremony, to make your marriage legal. The two witnesses can be any two adults (over the age of 18) except the celebrant.
At least one month before your wedding day and no more than 18 months ahead. Allow enough time to get everything together for your Notice of Intended Marriage - you might need to apply for a copy of your birth certificate or apply for suitable ID, which can take time.
Of course! That's a big part of my job and something I love helping my couples with - to create a ceremony that is uniquely yours. I write all my ceremonies from scratch but can provide examples of vows, readings and even wedding rituals.

Hi there, anyone over the age of 18 can be a witness for your wedding. On occassion I have had to grab people (strangers to the couple) off the beach to witness which most people are more than happy to do. Very common for elopements and small ceremonies.

Thank you for such a beautiful review. It means the world! It really was a lovely day, but even better that after all this time you got to meet Douglas at the end of that aisle!
