Providing that special touch to your event.
About Me
My approach is flexible and fun. I will ensure everything goes smoothly and I will help guide you through all the ceremonial details. I believe in providing an excellent client experience, and I aim to provide a quick turnaround time for all your questions. It is my pleasure to create a beautiful ceremony for you and take care of the details so you and your guests can relax, smile, laugh and enjoy your special day.
For the past 25 years I've worked in Learning and Organisational Development, I'm passionate about working with people and helping to enable teams and leaders achieve their potential.
I've been a celebrant for the past eleven years and I love it because life is beautiful, intense, poetic and worth celebrating at all its different stages. When it comes to my role as a celebrant I believe 'If it is to be, it is up to me', and as a result, I have a strong commitment to creating memorable and personalised ceremonies for my beautiful couples.
I love a good book, gardening, chocolate, a glass of sparkling and I adore David Attenborough, Brene Brown, Kylie Minogue, singing the wrong lyrics to songs and dancing in my loungeroom! I'm a bit obsessed with the Melbourne Storm NRL team which surprises a lot of people. I like science fiction, action, animated and foreign films - especially Italian comedies and there are a few tv series that I'm addicted to.
I'm happily married to Stuart, we were married in Phuket, Thailand in 2007 and we have two fur kids - Basil and Oreo.
I am located in Parkdale and I am happy to travel to make your special day a memorable one for all the right reasons. Email me or call me for a chat today on 0413 164 727.
