It is of upmost importance to me that you enjoy this experience from beginning to end and I will go above and beyond to make this happen.
I want you to look back on the ceremony with fond and happy memories.
This is my 14th year as a celebrant and I am still as passionate about delivering beautiful wedding ceremonies as I was the day I conducted my first wedding.
This is especially true when I connect with couples who see their ceremony as one of the highlights of the day and not just the boring legal bit before all the fun begins.
Even though your first thought may be “we don’t like being the centre of attention” and “we want the ceremony to be over as quickly as possible”, by the end of the ceremony, like your guests, you will feel like you’ve been a part of something special. You will be too busy enjoying the ceremony to notice you are up the front.
I feel it’s my many years of experience that adds that level of calm to the wedding, which always helps my couples to relax and really enjoy themselves.
By the time your wedding day comes around, you will be so comfortable that you will be excited for the ceremony to start.
You will be supported every step of the way, whether it’s with music, vows, or ways to include family and friends. The ceremony is delivered with warmth and appropriate humour.
During the ceremony, I am subtle and invisible when I need to be, and visible when necessary (for instance, I will always try and avoid being in the photo for that all important “first kiss” photo).
But I am right beside you when you need a tissue.
I invest a lot of time and energy getting to know you. I am about sharing your story and relationship with your family and friends. The genuine, real, quirky, sarcastic, romantic, fun and true love that you have.
If you are after a celebrant who doesn’t send you a script or who writes the ceremony a few days before, I am not your girl. (However I will keep elements of the ceremony a surprise to add to the emotion on the day) .
I pride myself on being able to deliver a heartfelt, engaging ceremony while avoiding generic, meaningless and recycled “Hallmark card” words. I can promise your wedding ceremony will be memorable for all the right reasons.
So yes, I do legally marry people but I do so much more than that!
Being a celebrant involves a lot more than just standing up the front and talking for 25 minutes.
It’s about ensuring that everything is in order, making sure everyone is relaxed, giving a reassuring hug and having a laugh.

My advice is that you book suppliers for your wedding that you would choose as friends. This makes a huge difference to the feel of the wedding. Surrounding yourself with people who want to make sure you have a great time.
Having a great relationship with your wedding team makes the planning fun and stress free. I want you to remember your wedding ceremony with such fond and happy memories.
It’s a moment in time – make it worth remembering.
I want to make this an effortless, smooth and a fun experience for you.
