ABOUT ME

I am a full-time Civil Celebrant, occasional classical singer, former business banker and happily married mother of two gorgeous girls.  As a wedding singer for over fifteen years I had the privilege of witnessing hundreds of ceremonies, however it wasn't until I was nearing the end of maternity leave with my first-born daughter that it occurred to me to make a career shift to celebrancy.

Observing hundreds of priests and celebrants for over a decade gave me a rare insight into how ceremonies were typically structured and presented. I had always held strong opinions about what I did and didn't like and how, given the chance, I would write and present ceremonies.  My "Ah-ha! moment" arrived whilst sitting in a chapel pew.  The following week I enrolled to become a celebrant and have never looked back.
 
I pride myself on delivering highly personalised and engaging ceremonies as I'm a firm believer that ceremonies should never be considered merely the "necessary part of the day". They should be interactive, interesting, enjoyable and memorable for both you and your guests.

I am friendly, attentive, organised and professional and my considerable experience in performance and public speaking ensures that I will deliver an engaging ceremony which reflects your personalities, values and vision.

I’ll never take for granted how fortunate I am to be invited into people’s lives and entrusted with such an important responsibility.  I’m responsible for setting the tone for your day and I get the best seat in the house. I love that!

Please contact me at any time to see if I'm available on your wedding day.  If so, I'd love to meet you for a drink and a chat.
