Her words // Cue 02
“By the end, every person in the room knows exactly how much you two mean it. That, to me, is the whole job.”
Sarah Emery
About me
The celebrant in your corner.
y 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.
From our first chat, my whole job is to get you. I ask the questions that matter, and even if you swear you don't have a love story, we always find it. Then I weave the small, true things, the ones that make a room lean in, into a ceremony that is unmistakably yours.
I spent years telling stories on screen, in television and events. Now I bring that same storytelling, organisation, and presence to your ceremony.
Read her story on Journal
Picture it. Your people gathered close, the two of you up front, your story unfolding. They laugh at the bits only they know. They go quiet at the bits that matter. By the end, the whole room feels it. This isn't the formality before the party. It's the part nobody forgets.
Pro LGBTQIA+. Pro alternative weddings. Pro pets at your wedding.
The run-of-show // Cue 05
From hello to married.
Check a date
Send me your date and let's check I'm free. We'll jump on a call or Zoom, talk through what you're planning, and you can ask me anything. By the end you'll know if I'm your celebrant.
Let's meet
We meet properly so I can get to know you both and how you picture the day. From there we stay in close contact and design your ceremony together, step by step.
Let's get wed
Everything is planned and in place, so all that's left is the best bit. You relax and soak it in while I make sure the whole thing runs exactly as we rehearsed.
Paperwork
You leave with your decorative marriage certificate in hand. I lodge the official paperwork and register your marriage, so you can get straight on with being newlyweds.
