Weddings
There were never truer words said than “love is love”. There is often no logic to who we fall in love with, or when we fall in love, but one thing is certain: being in love is a wonderful and exciting time.
Formalising love and celebrating by marrying is one of the most important days in anyone’s life. As your Central Coast Celebrant, I am here to help you through the process and to ensure your special day is a day to remember.
Packages
Short, Sharp & Stylish

This package is perfect for an elopement or intimate wedding. All you need is the two of you, me (for the legalities), and two witnesses over 18 years of age. Witnesses can be anybody you choose, or if you are having a secret wedding, I can arrange witnesses for you. This no-fuss wedding can be anywhere – the Central Coast, Hunter Valley and surrounds has endless natural beauty and possibilities for this simple and special ceremony.
This ceremony is usually around 10-15 minutes and includes the legal vows and paperwork. I have a great “Inspiration Pack” to help you with vows, music ideas and short readings.

Official Certificate of Marriage from the Registry, mailed to your home address (cost $60+ from the Registry)

My passion is writing your love story as you wish it to be told. It can be light-hearted, informal, and humorous, a formal ‘tearjerker’ or anything in between! Your wedding ceremony should be as unique as you are and reflect who you are as individuals and a couple. We will meet and talk about you and how you fell in love. I then have the pleasure of using years of creative writing experience to create a personalised love story.
I will supply you with an “Inspiration Pack” to guide you through the order of a ceremony, examples of readings, vows, ring exchange, music, wedding rituals to include children or other family members, pets, flamingos, or pretty much anything else you can imagine, making your ceremony unique!
This ceremony normally lasts 15-20 mins depending on readings or other guest involvement. I will only have your wedding booked in for the day, so there is flexibility in case of weather changes, wardrobe malfunctions, or the best man missing his flight!
