Weddings

I feel honoured to be a part of a couple's wedding and am very mindful of the huge responsibility I carry to ensure that your special day is just perfect.  I will spend as much time as necessary to customise all the wording and include any special ideas you may have, whilst adding my suggestions if you would like.

I am a Graduate of the Academy of Celebrancy, Australia and I have spent a lot of time researching and perfecting the skills I require to give as much information and guidance that I can to ensure your needs and expectations are met on your special day.

I am more than happy to travel to perform ceremonies - a nice yacht on the Mediterranean would be quite suitable thank you very much! In all seriousness though, I am very flexible and able to accommodate most of your needs.

Renewal of Vows

This can be such a wonderful ceremony - so much history; so many memories; and so much emotion as you remember the first time, and the years leading up to today.  

It is also very special to include your families as this is a day they will always remember. 

Baby Naming

I just love babies, as my children will tell you.  

I have 5 grandchildren and like nothing better than spending time with them.

I would be thrilled to name your new baby, and include all of your family and friends to welcome this precious little bundle that has come into your lives.

It is a time to consider the future and reflect on the wonderful possibilities that lies before this child.  It reminds all concerned of the great responsibility involved in raising a child.

During the ceremony, those who will have an important role in the child's development are recognised and appointed.  You may wish to include special readings or poems,  and I will be delighted to help you choose these. 

Commitment ceremonies

Again - such a wonderful way to celebrate your lifelong friendship; love and commitment to each other.

This is a formal approach to celebrate and honour a lifelong partnership, and although not legally binding it doesn't lack the importance.

This ceremony is for all couples who choose to commit to each other before family and friends. Currently, under Australian law same sex couples are unable to marry, however a commitment ceremony is  a way to show your love for each other, in the company of all the people that are precious to you both.

Maybe you have someone who can strum a guitar, sing, or just tell a story about their memories and relationship with you - it all adds to the warmth and intimacy of the day.
