About

I love being a celebrant! And the reason I chose to be a celebrant is that my career choices have lead me on a journey to this point. I worked in the legal industry for over 10 years and am very comfortable with understanding the legal requirements for officiating a wedding. More recently, I worked for the Australian Government and have spent a large part of my career writing and presenting for various audiences. Celebrancy is a natural fit for me! And I love it making ceremonies magical!

We cannot express how grateful and delighted we are with the exceptional services provided by Gail. From the moment we first met, it was evident that we had found someone truly special to officiate our wedding. She demonstrated the perfect blend of professionalism and warmth. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful. Her attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring that every aspect of our ceremony was tailored to reflect our unique love story. She made herself available whenever we had questions or needed guidance, which eased our stress as we prepared for our big day. Her expertise and experience were evident in her suggestions and recommendations, all of which contributed to a flawless ceremony. She conducted the ceremony with such grace, eloquence, and a perfect balance of emotion, leaving our guests thoroughly touched and moved.

We could not have been happier with the beautiful ceremony Gail created for our special day. From the moment we first contacted Gail, she made the process easy and seem effortless. She took the time beforehand to get to know us and collect information about each of us to ensure the day reflected us. She embraced our vision for the day and helped make that come to life, realising our desire for simplicity with a sense of intimacy. Gail’s beautiful words captured who we are as a couple and what marriage means to us. On the day she was engaging, flexible and patient with our timelines, accommodating the 7 nieces and nephews who wanted to be part of the occasion. We were delighted with the day and will have fond memories for the rest of our lives. Thank you Gail!

We chose Gail as our Celebrant for our wedding Day and what a fantastic decision that was! Gail was amazing from beginning to end. She took the time to understand who we are and what we wanted for our ceremony. With that in mind she was able to craft a ceremony specific to who we are as people and help convey to our friends and family how much love we have for one another. We cannot fault Gail’s communication and dedication to making our wedding day perfect for us. We would highly recommend Gail to anyone in needed of a celebrant.

Gail married my Husband and I in early November and she was the best celebrant ever! She was professional, accomodating, and ran our ceremony absolutely perfectly. Her process was simple, effective, and absolutely made the day the most memorable of our lives. She helped and accommodated us with our more unusual requests like a hand fasting ceremony which turned out so much better than we could ever have hoped. I would happily and highly recommend Gail to anyone for their own ceremony.
