Weddings and Ceremonies
Creating Unique Weddings and Ceremonies
It is true, I am a little alternative, I love to think outside the box and provide unique ceremonies that you will love and cherish forever! I want to get to know you and understand your story, so that I can create a ceremony that reflects your personality. Your wedding day will be one of the most memorable days of your life and I am here to help you enjoy every moment of it. A great celebrant is one of the best investments you can make, because lets face it, without one, you are just having a very expensive party!
I welcome all couples, cultures and religions. Personal rituals, symbols of love and traditional customs can add depth and beauty to any celebration or milestone. These little extras can help engage people on another level and bring a deeper connection to the moment. However this is your day and whether you would prefer short and sweet, or epic and wild, I can create the perfect ceremony for you.
From Weddings and Commitment Ceremonies to Baby Namings and Blessingways, you can honour yourself and your loved ones with a ceremony to remember!

Ritual Ideas
Elopement Ceremony
Want something short and sweet without losing the romance? Elopement ceremonies are the quick and simple way to marry your beloved without any fuss!
Sand Ceremony
The meaning is simple and beautiful: two becoming one. The bride and groom mix two different colours of sand into one container, symbolising their lives and hearts entwined.
Water Ceremony
Instead of coloured sand, some couples choose to substitute coloured water. You can customise your colours to symbolise something unique to your ceremony.
Stone Ceremony
This is a fantastic way to involve all of your guests within the ceremony. Each stone represents a special blessing or wish that the couple can reflect on as a life-long keepsake.
Cultural Ceremony
Whether you would like to include traditional rituals or cultural symbols, this is the perfect way to add depth and meaning to your ceremony. I am open to discussing all options!
Handfasting Ceremony
Handfasting (or tying the knot) is one of the oldest wedding traditions and is the symbolic act of a couple's hands being tied together with cords or ribbons, representing their union.
You can start using your new name as soon as you get married! To get official records updated you’ll need to wait until the official marriage certificate arrives from Births, Deaths and Marriages. Most companies need to see this, so get in contact with all the places where you have an account or identification to learn the process. If you’d rather not wait on hold, fill in forms and gruel through the checklist of companies, consider using a name change kit. Simply check off the companies to notify and Easy Name Change will send you a custom pack of forms. Just attach your marriage certificate and send!
