Your wedding day isn’t about me – it’s about you. But I know choosing the right celebrant is a big decision, so here’s a little about me and my style.
I hadn’t realised it at the time, but since getting married, and being part of the weddings of family and friends, I had become interested in the idea of ceremony and celebration. I was so inspired by the different ways each couple expressed their sentiments – how the setting, music, words and rituals they chose reflected their personalities.
It was at my sister’s wedding rehearsal that I had my light-bulb moment. As the celebrant told us where to stand, answered our questions and generally tried to harness the excitement of the group of family and friends smiling and laughing around her, I decided this was something I wanted to do.
As a celebrant, my job is to make the process easy, enjoyable, and stress-free. I’m calm, organised, and always thinking ahead, so you don’t have to. But more than that, I take the time to really get to know you – your story, your quirks, what matters most – so that your ceremony feels personal and genuine.
Working in weddings means I get a front-row seat to all the beauty and emotion that love brings, but it also gives me the opportunity to help shape what marriage can look like today. I believe in equality, inclusion, and celebrating love in all its forms. I welcome couples of every background, culture, gender, and identity, and I genuinely believe that marriage doesn’t have to follow outdated traditions – it can be something modern, meaningful, and completely your own. I’m here for the real, honest, diverse love stories, and I’m passionate about creating ceremonies that reflect your values, not just the ones written in an outdated rulebook.
When I’m not being a celebrant you will find me on my yoga mat, lost in a book, pottering in the garden and playing chauffeur and chef to my kids. My love language is food, I’m a coffee person, a cat person and yes, my eyes are different colours.
