There's no doubt about it ... weddings are wonderful occasions! The glossy bridal magazines and websites are very beautiful and seductive and invite your attention to create a magical experience for you and your guests. There is an incredible abundance of businesses just waiting for your call. So, it might be about the dress, the hair and make-up, the flowers, the photographer, the cars, the catering - the list of 'must haves' is endless.

Planning 'your perfect day' can be one of the most exciting times in your life. It can also be the one of the most stressful - if you let it. In the excitement, take a little time to put aside the glossies, curl up on the lounge with your beloved, and brainstorm your vision for your wedding day.

Your marriage ceremony is the most significant and profound part of your wedding day. It's the next phase of your journey and it 's here, in these few precious moments, that you publicly declare your love for one another and your intention to to share the rest of your lives as marriage partners. The marriage ceremony, the commitment you make, the words you speak, the joy of shouting your love to the world and celebrating your togetherness with your nearest and dearest, is the living heart of your wedding day!

Without the 'I do' bit, it's just another great party!

After the last crumbs of your wedding cake have been swept away, the petals have fallen from your bouquet,  your guests have gone back to their everyday lives, you've returned from your honeymoon and your photo album sits proudly on the coffee table, what will you most treasure about your wedding day?

I'm hoping you'll say  - every single minute  - but especially the marriage ceremony!

My credentials

I'm proud to be the first of only three South Australians to complete the highly respected Graduate Diploma in Civil Ceremonies at Monash University. This course offers the highest qualification in celebrant training and education. Since beginning the two year part time course in the year 2000, I've established a thriving celebrant service called CelebrateLife!  I'm an experienced and dedicated professional celebrant totally committed to creating distinctive ceremonies.

I live in Littlehampton in the beautiful Adelaide Hills and conduct many marriage ceremonies throughout the Hills which offer stunning venues including boutique wineries, magnificent gardens, natural bushland and private homes. I travel to other places too including the Adelaide metropolitan area, the city  beaches, the Far South Coast beaches, Kangaroo Island, the wine districts of the Fleurieu Peninsula, the Clare and Barossa Valleys, the Riverland, the Flinders Ranges ..... and interstate ..... on land, on sea, in a hot air balloon.
