About Me:
I am a professional actor, writer and director with unique training in sacred ritual; Celtic, Pagan and New Age.
I specialize in Celtic rituals, ancient and modern spiritualities and sacred ceremonies as well as simple traditional forms. Lots of humour.
Welcome to my introductory page and please at any time leap across to my other website! I am in love with this wonderful calling of Celebrancy. I have conducted many wondrous and varied wedding ceremonies for couples who have arrived at my door.
Lovers are all unique and special and their needs can be as different from each other as chalk and cheese. Luckily my unique training in sacred ritual, professional theatre, standup comedy, creative writing and spiritual counselling allows me to cast a wide net when providing my clients with Choice! I am utterly in your service.
From our first obligation free meeting to all the meetings thereafter that you require, I can be depended upon to serve you and deliver, with your full participation, your personal wedding ceremony.
Once we sign the initial papers I give you one of my Special Books, full of samples of Readings (from sacred sufi poetry, american Indian prayers right thru to Dr Seuss!), Askings, Ceremonies and Vows plus. You have this for 3-6 weeks, time enough to peruse and become truly excited about the prospects of creating exactly what you want.
I also provide the Marriage Celebrancy DVDs on Relationship Guidance. Our next meeting is longer and we go a little deeper; I hear your story and oft times in this process you will discover how magically you have come to find each other in this life walk! It is then, guided by my knowledge and your expectation, that we begin the development of your ceremony and so, after a few exchanges usually by email, we eventually create the Final Version.
I really insist on a rehearsal, on site if possible, the day before or as close to The Date as possible -this helps everyone involved to feel relaxed and enjoy the fun of it before the actual, gaspingly exciting Day! I provide a fully portable PA system, signing table, altar etc. I am responsible for all the paperwork and legal documents. I leave you with a beautiful souvenir booklet of your ceremony. You can feel safe in the knowledge that all the difficult things will be professionally taken care of by me. Although I have my office in Castlemaine I travel wide and far throughout Melbourne & Victoria and can always visit you in your home.
Testimonials
Thank you for all your assistance in the lead up to our wedding. The ceremony was great – everyone commented on how lovely it was and specifically how great you were. Thanks for encouraging us to think a little more about the ceremony, it was really special for us. Rafe and I are flying off to Sth. America in a few hours, but just wanted to say thanks before we go. It was such a fantastic wedding – we loved the entire weekend.

Matthew and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for the very important role you played- and played so well!- in our special day 10 Feb 08. You are a passionate and creative individual, and we are enormously grateful to have had you bring our lives together, both legally and symbolically.
Now that Adam and I have returned from our wonderful honeymoon in Fiji we would like to sincerely thank you for giving us the most beautiful ceremony. On our wedding day our family and friends also commented on how professional and engaging you were. We really appreciate all that you did to make our ceremony perfect. Best wishes always.

Dear, dear Suzanne. It’s taken a while to write to you so that we can give you more evidence of our enduring happiness! We are ridiculously profoundly happy. Thank you for making our wedding such an incredible journey; through all the preparation, the inviting of guests to come along with us, and a truly meaningful honest and heartfelt ceremony. You guided Mark and I to marry each other- a very powerful and empowering ritual. we feel so strong, focussed in love. Thank you for bringing out in us these gifts to unite us. We all feel very moved. Elvi says, “Now we are married, our lives have changed!”. with awe, wonder and excitement in her voice. She’s right. So many of the guests were moved by the ceremony, too, some making wise spontaneous changes to their lives during the weeks afterwards. And my Finnish grandfather (now 89) said “My granddaughter understands the outside religion”. It made him happy. Thank you so much I know that you love what you do. It was perfect, and we feel so bound in love, happiness and good fortune in any situation.
Tasmin & Mark
wow she said it all ditto ditto. Thank you for grounding us in love, for digging up the soil just right for our seeds to grow! It was fun working with you, our heartfelt warm thank you, thank you. We are richer in our confidence together- we feel grounded & can go anywhere together. The celebrations went off like a hoot, Hoot Hoot! Every time we think of the day we feel elated! So thank you once again.
To dear Suzanne, We will be forever grateful for the most beautiful, perfect ceremony you put together for us. We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing wedding. We are so happy that you were a part of our most special day.
