Thank you so much Erica! It was such fun working with you to craft your ceremony! Thank you and Stewart for being absolute dream clients!
What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting people! Each couple and family has a unique story to tell and I love finding out about them. It's a real privilege to be trusted with creating a ceremony. Being part of a unique celebration, full of joy and love, is a wonderful experience.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My sister trained as a funeral celebrant and suggested I train to be a wedding celebrant. She thought I'd be great at it, and she wasn't wrong!
Why should our clients choose you?
My ceremonies are all about YOU. It's not a 'one size fits all' ceremony; I write each ceremony from scratch - no cookie cutters, no copy and paste, and no AI!
I'll work closely with you, getting to know your story and your unique personalities. I'll create a one-of-a-kind ceremony that you and your loved ones will never forget. If you need guidance, I'll give it. If you know exactly what you want, I'll follow your lead.
You don't have to follow a set plan and say prescribed words; you can choose your content such as poems and music, and you can write your own vows. I’ll work with you to create a magical, memorable ceremony, all about YOU!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I'm happy to conduct initial consultations remotely via Zoom or Teams. I offer ongoing support via phone, text and email.

Naming and welcoming ceremonies
A naming ceremony is a lovely way to welcome your new arrival into your world. I offer naming ceremonies for babies, and welcoming ceremonies for adopted and stepchildren.
At the heart of the ceremony are the promises that you make as parents. You can also choose significant adults from your circle of family and friends to make promises.
There are lots of opportunities to involve friends and family, creating a ceremony filled with special moments and memories.
