Wedding Ceremonies
My high quality of service is consistent with the Marriage Celebrants’ Code of Conduct which recognises the significance of Marriage and complies with the Marriage Act of Australia. Through discussion with each couple and provision of many choices I endeavour to present a personalised ceremony which fulfils your expectations.

Reaffirmation of Vows
This service offers couples an opportunity to re-enact or recreate their wedding ceremony with family and friends. Couples often choose to celebrate a continuing commitment to each other on the anniversary of their wedding. I can create, with your input a special ceremony, designed to suit each couple with a specially prepared certificate as a record of the occasion.
Name Giving Ceremony
This ceremony is an official welcoming to your child as an important family member. It recognises the role of the parents, Godparents/Guardians and all others that are important in the life of your child. This ceremony can be a moving, intimate occasion and I am able to prepare such a ceremony tailored to your wishes.
Commitment Ceremonies
Not all couples want to be legally married. For some it’s a choice, others have belief systems that don’t agree with the concept of a traditional wedding. A Commitment Ceremony is a beautiful way for any couple, including same sex couples who wish to declare their love for one another, to do so, in a meaningful ceremony. I can construct a personal and meaningful ceremony tailored for each couple.
