About Me:
I am an energetic mature lady, proud of my 5 children and 7 beautiful grandchildren.
For thirty years I worked as a Catering Manager, but redundancy gave me the opportunity of a career change.
For 11 years I have been rewarded with satisfied clients - having assisted with the organizing of more than 200 Weddings, over 1500 Funerals or Name-giving, ceremonies. PLEASE READ ON TO LEARN WHAT I OFFER YOU FOR A SPECIAL CEREMONY.
IF IT'S YOUR WEDDING
The initial meeting is at no obligation, a special time to have a friendly chat and discuss your expectations for your wedding ceremony.
Once the date is arranged I would like to assist you, to develop the best narrative of your own personal journey to your wedding day.
Please look at this and my other website for additional information and Testimonials.
I generally recommend Dally Messenger's book, “Ceremonies & Celebrations” as a starting point. We then create a beautiful ceremony using email, phone or personal meetings. I attend to all the legal paperwork and encourage you to have an on-site rehearsal a few days before your wedding.
These services are included in my fees. On the day I have a sound system that ensures everyone can hear and will do everything in my power to deliver your ceremony in the most pleasing way I can. With your marriage certificate you will receive a copy of your ceremony as a keepsake.
After the ceremony I submit your marriage with the Register of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
JUST SOME OF MANY TESTIMONIALS

Michael and Kimberley.
This letter is to thank you for HELPING Amanda and myself on our journey of union and for formally bringing us together. The options you presented us with were fantastic, which helped release the pressure of the day and formalities that we thought were necessary to be married, (the old formal type). Nola the time you put in prior to our wedding with the planning and presenting us with different options of our vows the copies of other ceremonies to assist us in writing our own ceremony. Your suggestions on where to stand to make the viewing easier for all guests keeping in mind the height difference in the land. The day was a wonderful success. Everyone loved the way we presented our day and the way you let us declare our love for each other.
Jack and Amanda.
HOW I ASSIST YOU WITH A FUNERAL
My people skills and professionalism together with my commitment to assisting people are best expressed in the way I create a funeral service which is based on the life story of the person who has died. My starting point is respect for the wishes of the deceased and the family.
Information is collected in an unhurried relaxed interview with the family. I take this away with me and go about creating a beautiful personal Eulogy selecting appropriate poetry, or quotes suited to the deceased.
I can offer a large library of music and organize with Funeral Directors to ensure it is played at appropriate time. The family receives a copy of the service prior, to proof read and make any alterations.
In cases where family members wish to write and present the Eulogy themselves, I am available to assist if needed. At the time of bereavement it is often difficult for families to express how they feel. Having officiated at over 1500 funerals, I understand the needs of those who are grieving and can guide them to saying farewell to their loved one in a memorable way. You can contact me personally and I will inform the Funeral Director of your wishes.

I would like to this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful way you conducted the funeral service for our beloved husband and father Bob. I remember you saying at the time that Bob’s service would be the one thousand, three hundred service that you have given, and I would like to say to you that we were very moved and everyone was very impressed with the way you spoke. Thank you for your patience and kindness with all of us when you came to the home, you made a very stressful time much easier.
Wendy and family.
On behalf of the family I wish to thank you for conducting the funeral service in such a professional yet friendly manner. It must have been quite difficult for you really but your presentation made it seem you knew Agnes. Your words beautiful to our hearts. We will remember you.

I am writing to let you know how impressed we were with the service you conducted for our Mother. The lovely feedback from our friends about your presentation was very heart warming.
George and Audrey.
Nola we have known you for 10 years after meeting you for the first time when you delivered the service at my Grandmother’s funeral in 2000. You were originally recommended to our family and your professionalism, understanding and sincerity were certainly appreciated at that difficult time. With the unfortunate passing of my father you delivered a beautiful service for us.
At the time of our wedding we didn’t hesitate to contact you again to assist us with our wedding ceremony at Sorrento which you delivered with professionalism and excellent attention to detail with the planning process. You have since named our two children and the three children of my sister at five Name- giving ceremonies which hold extra special memories. Thank you for being part of our family.
