As a dedicated civil marriage celebrant, I make sure you have a clear understanding of every step involved in planning your ceremony. From our first conversation through to your wedding day, I will guide you through the legal requirements, ceremony planning, vows and final details so nothing feels confusing or overwhelming. My role is to keep the process organised, explain what needs to happen and help you feel calm, prepared and confident. By the time your ceremony arrives, you can be fully present, enjoy the moment and trust that everything has been taken care of.
Reach out and tell me about you, your date and the day you're dreaming of.
We sit down together, in person or online, to get to know one another.
Personalise your wedding ceremony with my ceremony planner booklet and choose from 30+ vow options or write your own with my guidance.
I lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage and handle all the paperwork.
An online rehearsal the same week, so you feel calm and ready.
I arrive early and create a relaxed, heartfelt ceremony to remember.
Stay up to date with my Blog posts which contain a variety of information from wedding venues, locations or wedding trends.
