_______________________________________________________
My philosophy on my role as a celebrant is that It’s all about you…
I aim to capture the essence of you - what makes you special, and then include your uniqueness into your ceremony; whether it is a wedding, a renewal of vows or the naming of your children. This is why each one of my ceremonies is different.
I offer diverse, relaxed, fun and personalised ceremonies.
My wish is to be your Life Celebrant - the one who you call on to assist you and your family, in celebrating all of your life's events. I encourage you to become a Life Events member, and receive ongoing bonuses.
I have been a civil marriage celebrant for 5 years, and a JP for over 30 years. I have been married for 30+ years and have 4 great children…..and yes, we were married by a celebrant.
For the past decade, I have worked in the social planning & community development field with a degree in town planning. I love working with people, and especially enjoy the company and humour of young people.
In 2009, I decided I enjoyed being a celebrant so much, I would become a full time celebrant. So now I am a full time marriage celebrant, and I am available for your ceremony, including your wedding ceremony, on 365 days of the year. I am flexible and can facilitate ceremonies daytime or evening – any day of the week, including public holidays.
Living in Queensland all of my life, I have a close affinity with nature and bush settings and beach weddings are my specialty. However I am just at home in a formal setting or a chapel or a venue . See my favourite places and mementos.
I have offices in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, and in Kedron, Brisbane; however I am happy to travel to your home, where possible, or meet in a nearby coffee shop.
Whatever your life event, I offer personalised ceremonies for the kaleidoscope of changes and milestones throughout life. As an accredited civil marriage celebrant, I am able to conduct weddings in Australia. I also do the naming of children, commitments and renewal of vows, including same-sex ceremonies. Go to the ceremonies page.
I offer Celebrations of Life (funerals) ceremonies and may be contacted directly for these, whilst collaborating with your chosen Funeral Director to create a personalised service.
Also available are croning ceremonies for our worldly and wise women. Croning ceremonies are a wonderful way of acknowledging the wisdom and life experience of our matriarchs, whilst having fun at the same time!!!.
Other events includeboat launching and office/house warmings – anything you wish to acknowledge or celebrate!
Ceremonies can be conducted in your choice of setting ~ from northern New South Wales, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast and their hinterlands, Caboolture and in the Greater Brisbane area including the Ipswich region. I can travel further with a negotiated travel fee.
I am affiliated with the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants and with the Alliance of Celebrants, Queensland. These partnerships enable me to keep up with the latest legal requirements and to bring fresh ideas into my ceremonies. I am also affiliated with the Australian Bridal Industry Academy, so please go to the ABIA website to vote for me!
My fees are a reflection of the quality of service and ceremony that I deliver. Each ceremony is different, and every person is an individual, so I recommend that we have an initial, no obligation, meeting to discuss your personalised ceremony requirements.
