What to Expect?
I love engaging with people from all walks of life and guiding them calmly through the ups and downs of their special times. I enjoy meeting new people, getting to know their stories and helping them to work through the maze of organising an important ceremony, no matter what the occasion. My maturity, life experience and confidence let me be the calming influence you need when dealing with any important occasion.
I will work through the process and scripts with you until you are comfortable with the outcome and it will always be your day done your way. I will ensure you don’t get just a service – you get an experience with memories to last a lifetime.
I am a Commonwealth Registered Celebrant under the requirements of the Attorney General’s Department and a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants. This ensures that the ceremony will meet all legal requirements and your marriage will be duly registered.
I have also trained in the other areas of ceremony and am committed to remaining up to date with current trends and options for celebrations of life, love or loss.
My professional background has been in executive private and public sector roles with staff management and public speaking and I am confident that I can establish a rapport with people from all walks of life.
I offer services throughout Brisbane, Logan, Scenic Rim and Ipswich and south to the Gold Coast.
When to make a booking?
As soon as you have chosen your wedding date. Don’t leave it till the last minute as you’ll find you have very little choice of Celebrant.

You are required to give a Notice of Intended Marriage to a Celebrant at least 1 month before your wedding date and you are required to provide your Celebrant certain documents, please see the legal requirements page on our website for a full list. If you don’t currently have these documents, it may take some time for you to obtain these documents. However, you don’t need these documents to complete the NOIM though they must be sighted well before you are married.
My Partner works away and cannot sign the Notice of Intended Marriage Form.
No Problem. The form can be lodged with only one signature but your partner will need to sign it well before your wedding day.
My partner is divorced, and I am widowed, what documents should we show?
If previously married, you are required to provide evidence to show that the last marriage has ended. This is in the form of a Death Certificate of the previous spouse, or a Certificate of Divorce.
Can we change our wedding date or venue after booking?
Yes, however, you will need to check your Celebrants availability.
How do I change my name after marriage?
If you are married in Australia and want to update your driver licence or passport or other government documentation to your married name, you will need to apply for an official marriage certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriage.
You can find the marriage certificate application on the Queensland Government website.
