Your ceremony, your words

"Love all, serve all" is a line I borrowed from Hard Rock Cafe, and it's how I run my business.

Big party or quiet elopement, cultural traditions, blended families, second time around. If it matters to you, it matters to me. Your ceremony uses the language that fits you, from how I introduce you to the words of your vows.

As your registered marriage celebrant I take care of every legal step. Only three things are legally required, and everything else is up to you.

The three legal must haves

  1. I say I'm authorised to marry you.

  2. You both say your legal vows.

  3. We sign the paperwork with your two witnesses.

Then, the party

Book me as your DJ and MC too and the night is in the same hands as the ceremony. Your entrances, your songs and a dance floor that runs late.

Same-sex wedding questions

Quick answers. Anything else, just ask.

Can same-sex couples legally marry in Australia?

Yes. Marriage equality has been law in Australia since December 2017, and the legal process is the same for every couple.

Will the ceremony wording suit us?

Yes. I use the language that fits you, from how I introduce you to the words of your vows.

What paperwork do we need?

Your notice of intended marriage, lodged at least one month and no more than 18 months before the wedding. I'll walk you through it and lodge it for you.

Can we write our own vows?

Yes please. Send them to me and I'll print a copy in case nerves take over.

Do you work with LGBTQIA+ friendly vendors?

I work with vendors I can vouch for. See my preferred vendors, and if someone isn't the right fit for you, I'll say so.

How much does it cost?

Celebrant packages start from $1,750, including all legal paperwork. See the price guide.

Can we elope?

Absolutely. Big party or quiet elopement, I'm in.
