I am a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants
Why
choose me for your celebrant?
I love my
This is your one chance to make a
public statement, so my role is to make sure it’s exactly what you
want. Over a series of meetings I will create your ceremony and you will have
full editorial control over its content and presentation.
What’s
different about my process?
Our first two meetings
are spent discussing what you would like your ceremony to involve
I write your ceremony
especially for you, based on the information you give me
You have full
editorial control over the ceremony content
You are entitled to
unlimited meetings and an on-site rehearsal
We work at the right
pace for you
You can include
whoever you wish in the ceremony
I provide you with all
of my resources, and as much guidance as you need or want
I am happy to travel
to your chosen ceremony location, including interstate if necessary
Your ceremony is as
important to me as it is to you
The creation of each
unique ceremony requires, on average, around 25 hours of my time. A breakdown
of costs reveals that this works out to around $30 per hour.
I will not forget your
names
I will work with your
other professionals to ensure everything runs smoothly
I can provide you with
a wide range of suggestions to help you save hundreds of dollars on your
ceremony
I will do everything
in my power to make your ceremony one of the best experiences of your life
If you’re getting married,
there are only a couple of elements which we are legally obliged to include
and the remainder is very flexible, so we can enjoy creating a ceremony which
is truly reflective of you and your relationship.
For all ceremonies, I will provide
you with an extensive variety of options, resources and guidance, as needed,
in order to create a ceremony which everyone will love.
You are entitled to unlimited
meetings, phone calls and email contact. I know that arranging a ceremony can
require a great deal of your time, so our meetings will be held in your home
or at a mutually convenient location. I have met clients in cafes, bars,
restaurants, on beaches and in their workplace, just to name a few locations.
You decide!
You can also choose what you would
like me to wear for your ceremony. The testimonials
page has photos from various ceremonies I have conducted.

the unique ceremonies I have created for them? Click here

Coming from interstate
or another
country? No problem! I am happy to work with you to create your perfect
ceremony.
Over my past ten years as a
celebrant, I have studied extensively in order to create the best possible
personalised ceremony for you. I graduated from the International College of Celebrancy where
I was awarded Diplomas in Marriage, General and Funeral Celebrancy, achieving
a High Distinction average, and I continue to undertake further research into
celebrancy.
In 1995 I graduated from Monash
University with a BA (Hons) in Anthropology and Sociology, a degree which
focused on rites and rituals in a variety of cultures and which led to me
choosing celebrancy as a career.
Should I be unable to attend your
ceremony, due to serious illness or any other reason beyond my control, I
will arrange for a professional, experienced and appropriate replacement
celebrant from the Australian
Federation of Civil Celebrants to present your unique ceremony, at no
additional charge.

The beautiful
thing about love is that it is an experience we share with all people
throughout the world. Yet to everyone who experiences love, it is the most
unique and precious thing in the world.
To fall in love is a wondrous and joyful sharing
of self and soul. Inviting your friends and family to celebrate your love for
one another enables them to give public recognition to the private experience
of your love.
Such
a ceremony reinforces the sincere commitment made between two people who love
each other, who wish to share each other’s joys and sorrows, who
respect and love each other as individuals, who give each other support and
encouragement, and who will grow and change together in the years to come.

Farewells
The Navajo people of
North America say that no person is truly gone until every single person who
ever knew them, or knew of them, has died. Funerals and memorial services enable
us to share our memories and celebrate the lives of those we have loved and
who have loved us.
