Legalities and Technology
Technology making life easy for couples and celebrants to connect and complete legal paperwork ahead of the wedding ceremony.
Acknowledgement of Country
It’s personal for me to show respect in our community and in this vein I’m adamant that I will always perform an Acknowledgement Of Country at a wedding ceremony, life celebration or baby naming.
Wedding Witnesses…
You must have two witnesses for your wedding ceremony. They can be anyone over the age of 18 years.
Registry Style Weddings
Registry style weddings are here to stay. Get married now with a minimum of fuss with one month’s notice.
Backyard Wedding Ceremonies
Let’s talk about backyard weddings … There are so many upsides to a smaller, backyard wedding and here I highlight some of the big ticket items you’ll save a fortune on by working with me in planning your backyard wedding ceremony.
Cheap vs Affordable Wedding Ceremonies
The top search on Google for a Marriage Celebrant will often include the word ‘cheap’ because no-one wants to be taken for a ride. In this Blog I take a look at what you can do to get the best bang for your bucks. My options offer add-ons which are affordable and will enhance your special day rather than the cheap options which are often restrictive and inflexible.
Rituals - Unity Candle Ceremony
When couples in love decide to marry, they bring together two families, two backgrounds, two sets of values and beliefs and these should be celebrated during your wedding ceremony.
Auslan (Australian Sign Language)
After studying Auslan for six years I am committed to offering inclusive ceremonies and meetings in Auslan for clients. I respect and understand Deaf culture in Australia and believe in equality for all.
If you want to have your ceremony in Auslan and if both of your legal witnesses understand Auslan let’s do this using your favourite interpreter.
Rituals - Unity Sand Blending
A Unity Sand Ceremony is a symbolic ritual joining two families providing a lasting memento of your special day.
It’s particularly poignant in a wedding ceremony when couples have children from previous relationships who are acknowledged and able to participate.
Traumatic Brain Injury
My amazing and inspiring Mum fell and sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other life-threatening injuries. During her year of recovery, I learned to navigate a world where people living with disability hit roadblocks. I have high standards and I never give up.
Rituals - The Time Capsule
Having a time capsule ceremony on your wedding day creates something meaningful from the day which you personally use and add to during your married years and is a loving and unique way of capturing your love story.
Components can include your favourite bottle of Wine, Champagne, Gin, Whiskey or even Irish Cream and a love letter or poem to your partner along with a beautiful box (I can supply wooden boxes as an optional extra).
Inclusion
I’m proud to provide inclusive ceremonies within the LGBTQIA+ friendly community and I can’t believe that we still have to declare this in this day and age.
My pronouns are She / Her, what are yours?

Planning A Wedding On A Budget
Planning a wedding and keeping within a budget is one of the most daunting tasks ever. Couples struggle left and right with those never ending expenses and with picture perfect details in demand, couples are faced with financial restraints from all angles of the spectrum.
Access and Inclusion
You want your wedding day to be stress free and cater for everyone in an inclusive and accessible way. Access and inclusion are a way of life for me. I have close family members living with life changing disabilities including my Mum who has a Traumatic Brain Injury and my Dad who is an Amputee.
