I’m a young celebrant based in Gippsland, Victoria with a fresh approach to weddings and a mission to help couples celebrate their day however they dream.
I became a celebrant after getting married myself and then wanting to push the significance of the ceremony to the forefront of the wedding world.
I’m a romantic and a dreamer and I love the possibility that comes with meeting new people. The things I love most are contagious giggles, sunshine, desserts and creating ceremonies that are unique and take guests on a ride of tears and laughter.
If you think this could be JUST what your wedding needs, get in touch!
Get in touch via the contact form below and I’ll check to see if I’m available
We’ll organize a time to catch up in person or via FaceTime to see if we think this will be a good match
We’ll complete a Notice of Intended Marriage at least one month before your ceremony date, plus start to put together some ideas of how this ceremony is going to look
I’ll put together a draft for you to look over and pick apart. We’ll email back and forth until we get it just right.
If you like we can have a run through sometime in the week before to calm some nerves and sort last minute details
I say some words, you say some words, we sign some paperwork, and you end the day married!
This is just an example of how the process can look, however individual circumstances can change that. As long as we are meeting legal requirements, we can be as flexible as needed.
In association with
I acknowledge the Gunai Kurnai people as being the traditional custodians of the land, water and skies that I have the privilege to work, live and thrive on, as well as acknowledging them as the original storytellers and cultural teachers of this land. I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging. I believe this land always was, always will be, Aboriginal Land.
Throughout my coaching with Annie Gichuru (Diversity, Equity + Inclusion Coach and Consultant) I came to understand just how important it is for me to put into words my commitment to all of those within our community who are marginalised* and continue to face disadvantage even in our society today, through this Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement (DEI Statement). This is a working document as I continue to learn from those voices who are often not highlighted, and as I commit to unpack and unlearn my own privilege and bias.
Throughout my work as both a marriage celebrant and a coach I commit to creating two side by side businesses that hold space for all. I deeply believe that everyone, regardless of their race, religion, cultural background, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or ability deserves to be met with respect, to be celebrated and welcomed.
I acknowledge how deeply entrenched the wedding industry is with ‘whiteness’, ‘thinness’ and wealth, and I will always do my best to challenge that thinking. Love in any form should be celebrated, no matter who the love is between, how it looks and how it is celebrated. Love is love, always.
My commitment is to listen, learn and grow so I can continue to learn better so I can do better.
*Marginalised communities include people who are Black, Brown, A person of Colour, Indigenous, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, those that are differently abled, those that are neuro divergent, or those that are elders within the community.
