Weddings
Congrats!
As a wedding celebrant my mission is to leave you and your guests riding that romantic high. We’ve all been to a wedding where the authenticity and love emanating from the couple creates a tsunami of feel-good vibes. I started working as a celebrant because I LOVE these tender human moments of vulnerability anchored in love. THESE are the memories that stick with us throughout our lives and, when done right, are pure magic.
Sky is the Limit
Apart from a few legal requirements, your ceremony can be as creative, outrageous, traditional, or conservative as you like. The sky is the limit and I would be happy to incorporate any family or cultural traditions and customs. This could be in the form of a nature mandala which blesses a sacred space or perhaps a candle lighting or ring-warming ritual.
I am a huge advocate for marriage equality 🏳️🌈 and thrilled to work with ALL couples. The Australian Marriage Act was updated on 9th December 2017 to include everyone, regardless of preference.

Pricing:
I offer a variety of ceremonies so depending on your requirements fees will vary. Please contact me to discuss the ceremony that best suits you and your situation.
The Process:
If you like my website and think we might vibe, fill out the Booking Form on the 'Contact' page and I'll set up a 30 minute video chat to get to know one another and walk you through any questions you might have.
If you’re happy to continue, I take a non-refundable deposit (50%) which locks in your date and time in my diary
I'll then send through the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) form (the first legal document) with easy instructions on how to complete it.
We hop back on a video chat to finish the NOIM, sight identity documents, and officially kick off the one month period before you can marry.
I share with you a PDF resource explaining what is mandatory/optional in a wedding and contains heaps of examples of introductions, acknowledgements of country, vows, ring exchanges, etc. This is for inspiration to help you find your voice so we can write the perfect ceremony.
We meet 2-3 more times before your big day as we lock in content, details, and rituals.
Optional rehearsal (video or in-person) the week of the wedding (incurs small additional fee)
On the big day, I arrive early with all the official paperwork, PA system, signing table, and any other gear required.
We get you MARRIED!
Afterward, I organise and submit all legal documents to Births, Deaths and Marriages within 2 business days. I also order your Official Marriage Certificate which is mailed to your home address ($60 value included)
And that’s it! Our time together was short but magical <3
