I’m a celebrant who would love to make your dream ceremony happen exactly as you want, without the stress. I design everything to match your style, as long as it’s legal. And yes, the dog can be the ring-bearer but not your witness.
I love being a celebrant, because I have enjoyed a wonderful fulfilling career in education and the corporate world, coaching and motivating people. So now, helping create joyful occasions for couples committing to each other for life, there is nothing better than achieving that for you.
I am also a celebrant at other life changing milestones, like funerals and Baby Namings.
I know it’s difficult choosing between celebrants. We are all committed to a great outcome, and we care.
I simply promise you 3 things:
1. You will be professionally and legally married; leave the stress for me.
2. You will enjoy the process. Getting on with people is my magic power. I will guide you every step along the way in an easy-going, fun way and I will always listen.
3. You will get what you want – bare feet or top hats, traditional, elaborate, or short and sweet. I will go the extra distance.
To fulfil these promises, I call upon a long career including global roles, working with people from many cultures and walks of life. These include people from 12 countries in Europe, tribal leaders in PNG, and many other diverse groups including the Asia-Pacific region.
I now use these skills to craft beautiful unique ceremonies, telling your story with warmth and respect (always), and humour (however much you want.)
Designed for those who wish for a simple wedding without extras like readings and rituals. This could be at your house or the airport, with just two witnesses and me.
This includes the legal basics plus whatever extras you choose. Music, poetry, readings, rituals, you name it. Take the easy option, where everything is designed and written by me after consulting with you, or select which components you'd like to do yourselves. I'll coordinate and you sign off.
“Thank you for making our wedding ceremony so relaxed, heartfelt and genuinely “us”. You guided us through every detail with kindness and patience, and took the time to really know us. Our friends thought we were friends from way back. We can’t imagine having anyone else with us on our big day. It was just what we wanted.”
Before you call me, you may like to have a look at the list below of the most frequently asked questions about our services. Then please contact me. I am very flexible and I would love to hear from you.
As a marriage celebrant, I offer two main packages. All ceremonies include the legal requirements, delivered with warmth and joy befitting such a life changing and momentous occasion.

You can request an easy option, where everything is designed and written by me (after consulting with you, of course). Or you can select which optional components you wish to do yourselves. I coordinate and you sign off.
Other Ceremonies Provided
Yes. I am available for Funerals, Celebrations of Life, Vow Renewals and Baby Naming Ceremonies. While these are the most common, there are many other occasions which can be arranged. I love dogs so Pet Memorials are welcome. Just ask.
Yes. I am an experienced Master of Ceremonies (MC) and Relationship and Communications Educator.
I can provide these services by mutual agreement upon your request but that is completely up to you. If the match suits you both.
I will supply you with other reputable providers, or of course, you may organize your own or none at all. There is Zero pressure to select my services as my main objective is to be your celebrant and make it the most perfect and easy day for you. See Services for more information.
When I confirm a booking, you are asked for a booking fee. This includes all the preparation for our meeting including legal documents. This is not refundable. You pay the balance before the ceremony but last- minute emergencies could warrant a refund.
Yes. All effort is made to accommodate requests but sometimes the change may bring extra costs by its nature.
A booking fee is charged at the time both parties confirm the date, location and scope of services required. All fees must be paid before the wedding day. Other payment plans may be made by mutual agreement.
A minimum of one month is required to give notice to the legal authorities (exceptions in extreme cases by court order). However, it is advised to book your celebrant as soon as you know your date, to ensure availability.
