wedding ceremonies that matter

your love, your way

Every couple has their own story - how you met, what you value, the ways you celebrate love. Your wedding ceremony should reflect that.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, the one thing that makes your marriage legal is me, your authorised celebrant.

​Everything else - the readings, the music, the rituals, the words - are what make it yours.

My role is to help you shape a ceremony that feels joyful, and deeply personal. Together, we’ll craft a ceremony you’ll remember for how it felt, not just how it looked, a ceremony that matters. .

ceremonies with heart

Rituals are the heart of every ceremony, they are the gestures that give weight and beauty to your day by honouring what connects us - love, commitment, community, and celebration.

I can help you choose, or design & create rituals as unique as you. We can weave cultural elements, family participation, or even incorporate something completely new that becomes your own tradition.

packaging & prices

All wedding packages include:
  • All required legal paperwork and lodgement
  • A commemorative certificate presented on the day

how it works

  1. Let’s Meet — So I can get to know you and your story.
  2. Secure Your Date — Notice of Intended Marriage form is signed and deposit is paid.
  3. Planning Together — We discuss tone, structure, rituals, and readings.
  4. Crafting Your Ceremony — We write and share drafts until it feels right.
  5. Rehearsal — We walk through key moments to ensure calm nerves and structured flow on the day.
  6. The Ceremony — I lead with warmth, confidence, and care.
  7. Legal Lodgement — I take care of all the paperwork so you can simply enjoy your day.

elopement or extravaganza - it all matters

The size of your celebration doesn’t define its significance.

Whether you say your vows on a windswept hilltop with two witnesses or in a grand hall surrounded by hundreds, the ceremony marks a profound threshold in your life together.
​
It’s my privilege to stand beside you as both witness and guide, creating a ceremony that matters.

commitment & vow renewal

Your relationship doesn’t need legal paperwork to be celebrated. I can create meaningful commitment and vow renewal ceremonies, designed to honour the love and growth of your shared journey.

your ceremony, your voice

Some couples come to me with a clear vision. Others prefer gentle guidance.

Either way, you decide how much you’d like to be involved in writing and shaping your ceremony - from contributing your own vows to helping design the whole shebang.
​
After all, it’s one of the most important days of your life.

“The moment I heard my first love story
I started looking for you,
not knowing how useless that was.
Lovers don’t meet somewhere along the way.
They’re in one another’s souls all along.
”
