PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE

A very special “Welcome” as you plan and prepare for the most exciting day in your life! I am a warm, friendly and experienced professional and feel honoured to carry the title of Authorized Civil Celebrant, appointed by the Commonwealth of Australia.

Ceremonies can be Traditional & Elegant, Romantic, Informal, Adventurous, Spiritual, Light-hearted, Personal and Intimate.  Planning your day is important, for you as well as for those who surround you with an abundance of loving goodwill.  Your Ceremony will be tailored with care and sensitivity, to reflect your ideas, values and wishes and most importantly ensure your marriage is legally valid!  It is a Day when family and friends share in your happiness and celebrate your union. A Day Designed for Dreams! A Day for Merriment and Celebration! A Day that is Exciting and remains Warm in your Heart!

I focus on a Ceremony that reflects your personality and style, providing the perfect balance of warmth, sincerity, romance and ceremonial elegance. I invite your input, your views and preferences, and design it accordingly to enhance and delight.  Ongoing advice and reassurance is provided to ensure all details are carefully adhered to for your ultimate happiness. Whether your ceremony takes place amongst a large assembly of guests, a small gathering of family and friends, or just two witnesses as required by law - it can be distinctive and significant!  All legalities are handled as part of my special ’all-inclusive’ package.
