Gemmani - Gemma Schooneveldt

Personalised, creative, meaningful ceremonies designed to fulfil your needs for a special and memorable occasion to share with family and friends.

As a celebrant I have many years experience working with couples and families to facilitate the appropriate mood and setting for every occasion. Together we can create ceremonies that celebrate life´s journey reflecting the personality, spirituality and story of those involved.

Whilst I primarily work in Melbourne, Victoria, I have been privileged to conduct ceremonies throughout Victoria and Australia.

With a background of teaching, followed by pastoral care and chaplaincy, I have had a wide experience of working with people and am well suited to the role of celebrant, particularly with migrant families. I believe that couples and families ought to have choice in the way they celebrate the major events and transitions in their lives, and I will assist them in creating a meaningful ceremony that incorporates their family story. As both parent and grandparent, I have a great love, respect and appreciation of my own family as well as the families of others.

I consider my role as celebrant a privilege, no matter the type, or how small the ceremony, and am happy to assist you in every way.
