Weddings
Your ceremony. Your way.
Your wedding ceremony should be about more than getting through the formalities before the photographs and the party begin.
It's the part of the day where you get to stop, look at each other and actually mark what you're doing.
I'll work with you to create a ceremony that's personal, meaningful and unmistakably yours; whether that's traditional, relaxed, funny, unconventional or somewhere wonderfully in between.

A note about legal marriage
At the moment, I offer non-legal wedding ceremonies.
That means I can create and conduct the ceremony that celebrates your marriage, but the legal registration of your marriage needs to take place separately through a registrar or other legally authorised person.
This can be done before or alongside your celebrant ceremony, allowing you to have the personal, meaningful and completely bespoke ceremony you've imagined without being restricted by a prescribed legal format.
I'll be happy to explain how it works when we talk.
A ceremony that feels like you
There isn't a right way to get married.
Maybe you've always imagined a traditional ceremony. Maybe the traditional thing really isn't your thing.
Perhaps you want readings and rituals, your favourite people involved or plenty of laughter.
Or do you just want something simple, honest and completely about the two of you?
That's the beauty of having an independent celebrant.
We can shape the ceremony around your relationship, your personalities and the things that matter to you.
No prescribed format. No ceremony pulled from a template.
Just your love story, told your way.
More than one way to say "I do"
Weddings
From intimate gatherings to big celebrations, I'll create a ceremony that belongs to you.
Elopements & intimate ceremonies
Just the two of you, or a handful of people who matter most. Small doesn't have to mean insignificant.
Vow renewals
Whether you've been married for five years or fifty, renewing your vows is a chance to pause and remember why you chose each other in the first place.
Commitment ceremonies
For couples who want to make meaningful promises to one another in their own way.
You don't have to follow the script
As an independent celebrant, I can work with religious, spiritual, non-religious or secular elements — or bring different traditions together to create something that feels right for you.
Your ceremony might include readings, music, rituals, family traditions, personal promises, humour or none of those things.
There are no compulsory ingredients.
How it Works
-
It starts with a conversation.
Tell me about you, your plans and what you're imagining.
-
I'll get to know you, your story and the people at the heart of the occasion.
We'll talk about the things that matter, the things you'd like included and anything you'd rather leave out.
-
I'll shape all of that into a ceremony written specifically for you. We'll work through the details together until it feels natural, personal and right.
-
When the day arrives, I'll be there to guide the ceremony with warmth, confidence and a steady hand.
You've done the planning. Now you get to be present in the moment.
Ready to make it yours?
You don't need to have the ceremony figured out before you contact me.
Tell me what you're planning, what you're not sure about or what you've always wanted.
We'll start there.
