I have been a Wedding Celebrant for over 15 years, and I am amazed by the sincerity and excitment that couples bring to their special day. I have a lovely wife and family life, and I like to share this fulfilling experience with couples embarking on their exciting journey.
I bring Irish warmth and humour, sincerity, authenticity, joyfulness,
The highlight of the ceremony is the exchange of wedding vows and rings. They are sacred moments. The tremor in the voice and the tear in the eye is not so much nervousness, - but the giving and receiving of the heart to the other.

My fiancé and I are planning to get married in Gold Coast and are looking for a celebrant who can incorporate our Catholic faith into the ceremony. While we understand that celebrants are unable to perform a full religious ceremony, we would love for the celebrant to profess the Catholic faith and include some scripture readings during the ceremony, as this is very important to us. If you know of anyone who could provide this type of service, we would greatly appreciate your recommendation. Thank you, Paula

Indeed, a catholic celebrant can perform a civil marriage. They can also add scripture readings, prayers and blessings of rings. However, the marriage is not a sacramental marriage. I would be honoured to conduct this ceremony for you.

Can we do funny vows
Pat Mac Anally - Irish Celebrant on the Gold Coast
Yes, you can, a bit of humour will break the tension and help you enjoy what your partner is promising. However, I say "a bit". Essentially vows should reflect your relationship to date and what you want going down the marriage pathway. Just don't be tooooo long. Enough is better than tooooo much.
will you incorporate some of my spirit into it
i want to do some saging
Pat Mac Anally - Irish Celebrant on the Gold Coast
Absolutely, as a Celebrant I would be seeking out your personality and spirit in our introductory meetings. I would incorporate these into the welcome words, introductory to your vows, and exchange of rings. It would be lifeless without doing this. Your spirit and personality should shine through.
