An authorised marriage celebrant is registered
under the Marriage Act 1961 and is legally permitted to perform
marriage ceremonies in Australia, ensuring the marriage is reognised
under the law.

Yes. I am a fully registered Authorised Marriage Celebrant by the Australian Government to solemnise marriages under the Marriage Act 1961.
A Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) is a legal document that must be lodged with your celebrant a minimum of one calendar month before your wedding date. I will guide you through this process and ensure everything is completed correctly and on time.
Absolutely — and I encourage it! Personal vows make a ceremony truly unique. I will guide and support you through the process of writing vows that feel authentic and meaningful to you both. I can also provide examples and templates to get you started.
Yes, completely. Your ceremony is yours to shape. I will help you select music, readings, poems and any other elements that reflect who you are as a couple.
Yes. I will bring a professional PA system and microphone to ceremonies where it is required so that your guests can hear every word clearly, regardless of the venue or outdoor conditions.

No, a baby naming ceremony has no legal requirements. It is a beautiful, personal celebration — a meaningful way to officially welcome your child and introduce them to family and friends.
Absolutely. The ceremony can include any supporting adults you choose — whether you call them godparents, guide parents, special mentors or something else entirely. I will incorporate their role meaningfully into the ceremony.
A baby naming ceremony typically runs for around 20 to 40 minutes, though this can be tailored to your preferences and your little one’s schedule!
Anywhere that is meaningful to your family — your home, a garden, a park, a restaurant, a function centre. The choice is entirely yours.
No. A vow renewal is a personal and symbolic celebration of your commitment — it is not a legal ceremony and no paperwork is required. This also means we have complete creative freedom to make it exactly what you want.
Not at all. Couples choose to renew their vows for all kinds of reasons and at any stage of their relationship. Whether you are celebrating one year or fifty years together, a vow renewal is a wonderful way to honour your love.
