About Me
Why choose me to be your celebrant.
My journey as a wedding celebrant started with the engagement of two friends in 2018. When my beautiful bride to be was planning the wedding she said she wished a friend would be her celebrant. I intuitively felt I wanted to be that person and I signed up for the qualification that day. Performing her wedding was my first, and from that day on I fell in love with weddings.
I enjoy meeting each couple I work with. I take time to get to know you both and what style of ceremony will suit you best. I guide you through the process, asking the best questions. Even if you don't think you have a love story, we highlight the things you love about your relationship and each other, then I weave the information together to capture what makes you special and write your story.
My career in television and events puts me in a unique position to bring the storytelling, organisation, and presentation I've used to tell so many stories on screen to your wedding ceremony.
Imagine standing in front of your friends and family listening to your love story being told, gently but confidently. You laugh at the funny moments, you feel emotional recounting the milestones. Your ceremony isn't just part of the wedding, it's the best part.
Pro LGBTQIA+. Pro alternative weddings. Pro pets at your wedding.

Thought about a friend performing your ceremony?
If you like the idea of having a loved one perform the ceremony I can make this dream a reality. It's an extra special experience to have your story told by someone who has lived it alongside you. I work with your loved one to help them write and present the ceremony while I take care of all the legal requirements.
