💫 How do I get to know my couples?

Every couple is unique, and that’s why I take the time to truly get to know you.

We begin with a relaxed conversation, often over a cup of coffee. It’s an easy, welcoming space where you can share your love story, your vision for the ceremony, and what matters most to you.

From there, I’ll guide you through a thoughtful questionnaire designed to uncover the meaningful, the subtle, and even the humorous moments that make your relationship unique. Together, we shape a ceremony that feels natural, heartfelt, and completely you.

There’s no pressure and no awkwardness - just a supportive, enjoyable process from the very beginning.

If you’re dreaming of a ceremony that feels deeply personal and truly honours your love story, I’d love to connect. Let’s start the conversation.

P.S. I know my way around a wedding ceremony, it's the selfie I have to practice 😉

✨ Today, we honour the women who shape stories, hold families together, and lead us with courage

I am inspired every day by women who love boldly and show up for one another in ways seen and unseen. Here’s to the caregivers, cycle-breakers, visionaries, elders, ancestors, and the next generation rising – may your voices be centred and your journeys celebrated.

Happy International Women’s Day. 💙

I am deep into reading questionnaires🥹 and writing wedding ceremonies for my 2026 couples🥰 I have just a few summer weekend dates available, but I am now booking 2027. 🔗 in my bio.

I am proud to be part of this Celebrant community. My training was gold-standard! 🤩

What if your passion isn’t something you have to “go find” … but something you’ve been living toward your whole life? 🌱
