Well now, who’s excited??
Congratulations to you both, this time is sooo special!
Where to now with your planning?
I'd be delighted and honoured to be considered as your celebrant!!
Just like us humans, no wedding is the same. I place high importance on working together to create the truly memorable ceremony you’ve both envisioned and if you need some assistance with your vows, I’m also very happy to assist. We can be as serious, funny, traditional, cheeky, or romantic as you like, as long as we cover the (minimal) legal bits and you don’t make me contend with heights!
Every ceremony I write, is personalised and aims to capture your unique story. I am a full time celebrant and have now written and delivered over 600 ceremonies between weddings and farewells and my goodness what an honour this has been! I frequently lead and engage large crowds of people (approx 750 the record) in my role as a funeral celebrant so rest assured, you're in good hands!​
Please browse through my packages below. Require something different? Let’s talk! I’ve got you covered.​​
*Prices subject to change without notice. Deposit or scheduled meeting secures current price.
Please note, once we meet and lock things in, I do usually request 50% deposit,
because I am 100% committed to you
and
it's nice to think you feel the same.
Full Wedding Package

If you'd like me to keep the good vibes going for your reception, I'd just love to stay on as your host/MC!
Remember to check my MC add-on package too!

Legals only
No Ceremony as such in this package
No fuss, the bare minimum? Let’s just do this!
Yeup, I can even come to your own home and have you married in just minutes!*
For those who simply just want to be married, or perhaps you are having or had a destination wedding overseas and just need the legalities performed in Australia.
This is literally an ‘over the table’, ‘under the tree’ situation. (We can discuss location). Paperwork only.
Strictly, just you two lovers, myself and your two witnesses over 18. I can possibly help with the witnesses if you don’t have them, depending on location/day/time etc.
A very intimate, short situation, no "ceremony", the legal stuff only.

Stand in Celebrant
This is a novel idea!
Do you have a favourite relative, close friend, someone super special in your lives you would like to conduct the ceremony, but isn’t an authorised Commonwealth Civil Celebrant?
Well, this way, they can basically conduct the ceremony, then, when the time comes, I can literally ‘step in’ and conduct the legal bits then leave you to it! There is actually quite a small component of a ceremony that is ‘compulsory’ for the marriage to be considered legal, but must be performed by an authorised celebrant.
Curious? Feel free to give me a buzz for a chat or /text/email.
