“For two people who hate being the centre of attention, the thought of a wedding in front of all the people we love and respect, and want to impress, the most was quite honestly torture. Until we met with Donna. Her dedication to making sure we had the ceremony that we wanted, as well as being able to make suggestions, meant that I felt comfortable and confident on the day, like someone had our back. Her warm and generous nature was both comforting beforehand and on full display through the ceremony. Our photographer caught so many photos of people laughing, crying, and the full range and spectrum of emotions. We have been married a year now, and people still remember Donna when we reminisce about our wedding day. Her warm and charming nature, her knowledge and care of us as individuals and a couple through the process and ceremony, and her ability to put people at ease immediately. I cannot recommend her enough.” -Amelia

About

An English teacher by trade, with a hospo background, a dear friend asked me to officiate her wedding in 2025. Little did she know I had always secretly harboured a desire to become a celebrant. I was tired of going to weddings and having a softly spoken person wax lyrical about my friends in the most generic of terms. My ceremonies are a celebration that commemorates both the people and the couple you are. They are unique, fun, romantic and full of joy.
