About
My career change into the world of Marriage Celebrancy was a life changing moment, only a few short years ago. But it was long overdue because when I got here, I realised 'I have finally found my thing'!! My love for love, inspires me every day. Each ceremony I've had the pleasure of being part of, and every couple I've been lucky enough to meet and marry, has been absolutely unforgettable and special to me in their own way. I am making memories, making your memories with you and loving it!

Personal vows are not actually a required legal part of the ceremony, if you don't want to include them in yours, you don't have to.
But, sometimes couples get put off by personal vows because they 'don't know what to say'.
Vows are your personal promises to each other and can be as little as one or two lines (they aren't a speech).
Your celebrant can help you put together personal vows to suit you, if you wish....they don't even have to be spoken!
Ask me for more advice on 'vows' and how we can take the 'fright' out of them.
We have the perfect climate to be able plan a beautiful outdoor wedding and take advantage of our natural surroundings.
It is definitely recommended though, that you have a 'Plan B' in place, on the off chance of adverse conditions.
When choosing a venue ask about their wet weather options, or alternatively if you are having a ceremony on a property or other outdoor space, have a solid backup plan ready to go on the day, if needed.
Ask me for advice, with your outdoor wedding plans.
