Testimonial

COMPLIMENT!

Hi Nadine,

What a success! I would just like to sincerely thank you and David for all your help on our special day.

It was a fantastic occasion for us and made all our guests feel that they were a part of our day which was the aim. The comments we have had from guests about how fantastic the service keep on coming thu. We literally had people flying in from all over Australia including England and Bolivia especially for our day which is a huge ask and they couldn't have been happier as indeed we are.

My parents and many people including Leisa (our photographer who has seen her fair share of weddings) thought it was the best wedding they had ever been too.

How often do you hear the Bride and Groom say that their wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended? Well we do!

Your advice on "what works and what doesn't " and your various suggestions really made a difference. David's input with the music and improvising with extra tracks when needed was greatly appreciated. The quick last minute change of venue was not a problem either.
Many Thanks Again.
Damian and Lisi

About Myself

“I love doing ceremonies! I’ve often said it’s my joyfilled work.”

I am a skilled communicator and facilitator in the community and counselling field. With over 30 years experience, firstly as a community worker and then in private practice, I am committed to assisting people to empower and express themselves.
Trained by the Family Conciliation Centre as a family mediator, I have wide ranging experience with families and an interest in relationships.
I have spent many years studying the nature of ritual and ceremony both in Australia and the USA. I understand the importance of rites of passage to mark significant milestones in one's personal journey.
Over the past 15 years it has been my passion to be involved in developing and performing ceremonies. I am committed to making each special occasion a joyful, individual and profound experience.

As a wedding celebrant
My main commitment is always to assist in designing a ceremony that reflects the essence of who you are as a couple. Each ceremony is personalised to perfectly represent you to family and friends on the day.

Your wedding ceremony will include the story of your personal journey together, what you love about each other and what marriage means to the both of you.

Attention is always given to aesthetic details, choreography and the rehearsal (on site if possible).

I will spend time getting to know you and planning your ceremony together. My open and friendly manner will ensure that your special wedding day is a genuinely collaborative one.

My professional experience also extends to a variety of ceremonies such as Naming's, Commitment Ceremonies, Significant Birthdays or Anniversaries and many other Rites of Passage. These ceremonies are supported by the vast array of resources and ideas that I have to offer, such as unique rituals, poems, blessings, readings and music. (Fee within a reasonable Distance $770)

“I endeavour to make your special day one that will leave you feeling met, understood and supported.”
