I’m a Newcastle girl, but I will happily travel all around the world to wed! If you want me to tell your story, I would love to come.

Here’s a general guide of travel costs:

*Free Travel within 100kms of Newcastle.

NSW Travel - Within 250kms of Newcastle $550

Interstate Travel - Generally the cost of return flights from Newcastle, NSW, 2 nights accomodation and the cost of a hire car, if required.

Overseas Travel - As above*

*As a Commonwealth Registered Marriage Celebrant, I can only legally solemnise marriages within Australia. Any weddings taking place outside of Australia will be commitment ceremonies (not legally binding) and you will therefore need to arrange a date to get legally married with me in Newcastle, Australia or elsewhere independently.

Yes! 

In addition to catching up a couple of times throughout the process, I will send you both a questionnaire which I highly recommend you complete separately - at the centre of a date night. Think: opening your favourite bottle of wine, sharing a delicious meal and sitting at opposite ends of the lounge. I encourage you both to chat through what comes to mind while you’re reading the questionnaire, but avoid telling each other exactly what you actually write in there. Once you’e finished the questionnaires, submit them and never look back!

Once I have both questionnaires and both sets of vows (if you’re writing vows), I start to write! While I mimic the tone and themes that you’ve shared, I don’t repeat the facts. I tell your story from two different perspectives, exploring your thoughts and feelings in a way that feels both personal and relatable. 

At times, the Ceremony will exciting and entertaining, at others it will be emotional and sentimental - the balance of that is dependant on who you are as people and what you want to share with your guests. 

My overall goal is to share the signatures of your relationship - how your personalities intertwine, the small, everyday moments you share and articulate how it all contributes to who you are today and where you’re going next. I want the Ceremony to be easy for your guests to connect with, while keeping the vibe approachable and warm!

Absolutely! I’m here as much or as little as you need me! 

I share my guide ‘How to Vow’ with all my couples as inspiration on where to start and what to share, but I also regularly will help couples write their words 1:1 via email. 

Either way, I always request you both share your vows with me for a few reasons: 

To make sure you’re both on the same page.

So I can have them ready on the Kindle for you. 

And because I want to write your Ceremony around your vows, ensuring that I give great context, so that what you share as powerful and meaningful as possible - to your partner and everyone else watching on!

Anywhere from 15-25 minutes, depending on you preference!

We work together on everything! Very soon after you’ve secured your date, I will send through ’How to Ceremony’, which is designed to guide you through all the elements that contribute to your Ceremony experience. From guest arrival to entering cocktail hour - there’s lots of great options to think about! 

When we catch up for our planning meeting (roughly 2 months out) we’ll go through the logistics of everything you would like to happen, when and how! 

Once you’ve secured your date with me, I will send through a timeline of our communication - when you’ll be hearing from me and what we’ll chat about at those times. I’ll provide everything you need, as you need it - but I’m always here to help with anything you need. 

Generally speaking, I really prioritise building a relationship with each of my couples ahead of their wedding day, because it would be impossible to write a true story about two characters that I know nothing about! 

I will try to catch up with you at least twice before your wedding day, whether it’s in person, over Zoom or through the phone - to get clear on your expectations but more importantly, understand how you want your experience to feel. For yourself and for your guests!

I always arrive on site at least 1 hour before the Ceremony is due to start, so that I can be completely set up and ready to greet guests as they arrive.

Ahead of the Ceremony, I check in with each partner, remind them of any key cues and give both sides of the wedding party the hype they need.

I also run through need-to-know details with your other vendors, so we can work as a team to make this the best, most seamless experience of your lives.

That’s up to you! 

When you’ve booked me as Celebrant only, once your Ceremony is finished, I will always hang around to help you wrangle family photos and see if there’s anything else you need me for before I disappear.

Otherwise, you can book me to: 

Stay on to MC your reception (lots of hype, much vibes, extremely invested in the overall narrative of the wedding day - making sure the Ceremony, your vows and all speeches are layered and everyone is adding something new to the story, or coming at it from a different/unique angle.) 

Stay to interview your guests during cocktail hour via Wedding Chats, the Video Guestbook! 

Stay to second shoot with Rhys, if you’ve booked him as your Photographer.

My entire Celebrant wardrobe is Black Tie and I’m constantly adding to the collection. 

I invest in statement pieces that ensure I look more like a guest than a vendor, because I want you to feel as though I fit into your world. 

I always ask my couples if there’s a particular dress they prefer, but ultimately I wear what will compliment your colour scheme or fit the theme you’ve given guests. 

So far, my dress collection features familiar friends including: Rachel Gilbert, Leo Lin, Aje, SIR or L’idee. 

I really like spending time with and telling the stories of couples who are genuinely best friends, adore their lives, prioritise connections and have created a world they’re proud to share with their nearest and dearest.

The couples and crowds who enjoy and appreciate my ceremonies most are those who value a completely personalised experience, a space that feels warm and familiar, witty writing, character driven storytelling, emphasis on emotion and a thoughtful mix of humour and sincerity. 

The Booking Fee you pay upfront is non-refundable, as it’s used to secure your wedding date.

Which means, from the moment your Booking Fee is paid, I will refer all other enquiries for that date on to other Celebrants.

If you choose to postpone, I’m happy to work together to find a new date, based on mutual availability.

I’m always here to help and we’ll always be on the same team.

Absolutely yes and I would love nothing more than to help you curate your creative team. 

Rhys and I are very lucky to work with extremely talented, incredibly passionate and unbelievably cool creatives all across Australia. 

A tailored Recommended Vendor List is a part of all my packages, although if there’s anything or anyone outside of that you’re looking for, I will gladly help you find them!
