21 years married... 19 years as a Celebrant. When our first born was 7 days old, I whipped out to the carpark after a wedding, whilst they took photos with their signed certificate and witnesses, where Pete was dancing about with our hungry baby, breastfed our teeny son and then returned inside to announce the couple husband and wife. What a ride! I love my man. I am extremely thankful for the confidence I have through his unwavering love. Love makes you brave, or mad, or maybe a little of both 😄

Roughly five times a year I will be a Celebrant. I don't have a word for it - it's always different.

If you have an awesome orator-pal, or a dear relative or maybe someone who speaks your mother-language fluently, you can have this person conduct your wedding ceremony, but you'll still need an official Marriage Celebrant (unless you get hitched at a registry office first).

It is incredibly fulfilling for me to ensure your ceremony is meaningful to you and your guests. The energy that creates is palpable.

After 19 years as a Celebrant, I've done many variations on this double officiant style wedding, and it is always a pleasure collaborating with your person - to make your wedding day the most fabulous day - however you'd like it!

Key things I do to create a ceremony with another person:

■ Meet firstly just with you both, to get clarity on your vision and offer up varied ways to achieve this

■ Design a ceremony tailored to your love story, detailing how both officiants will step in and out

■ Let your non-official celebrant adapt and contribute - you then approve the end result

■ Ensure all the legal requirements are met

■ My experience as a Celebrant will conjure and "hold the space" appropriate to that of such a momentous occasion, welcoming your guests and giving the ceremony an unengineered, organic feeling

■ Supply my public address speaker + mic

I'd love to hear what you have in mind for your wedding day. Email me, and let's make it happen.

WEDDING TIPS... with 19 years being a Celebrant, I can safely say:

♧ trends suck - ignore the noise and do what you love. It's much more fun and doesn't date.

◇ ask for advice from the professionals you engage. They know what works and at this point, you don't know what you don't know.

♡ winter is busy - because Australia can be warm and have unpredictable weather in the hotter months, winter is actually my busiest season this year! book your crew as soon as you can.

◇ if something doesn't flow during planning, it's always a gift in disguise that you'll only appreciate later.

As 2025 slides away, I am grateful for all the opportunities gifted to me, learning that even challenges unfold as the biggest gifts of all. I married 45 couples, helped bring three feature movies to life, travelled solo for the first time in 22 years with two weeks diving the Komodo NP, celebrated my husband's 50th birthday and our son's 18th birthday. I met new wonderful people, and spent quality time with old friends and new. As 2026 dawns, I am so excited to work with all the couples who will be tying their knot this year🪢and still have a few dates available. I don't take on more than one couple per date, and I restrict bookings each year to maintain a love and dedication to this role that I'm entrusted with. If you need a Celebrant, reach out with an email or DM.
11 January is also the once a year Tweed Shire wedding venue open day! You can meet me at and poke your head into the loveliest venues in the region. Register and get all the details but this a stellar way to make some the most crucial wedding day decisions in an informed way - see, touch, feel and ask all the questions. See you there x

Tamara + Glen married in the wild winds of Hastings Point headland, with whales playing in the distance 🐋. Such a gorgeous day, their respective daughters were bridesmaids and a bubble-blowing shower was the perfect waste-free confetti 🫧
Tam's sister wrote such beautiful words as a personal reading to the couple as well ✨️
