Marriage Celebrant and MC

A little about me

No child says they want to be a marriage celebrant when they grow up, and I was no different. It’s something I was drawn to as I grew older. I fell into it, passionate and filled with unfiltered enthusiasm- you could say it was a little like falling in love.

I live for the moments that make your heart sing: first kisses, best kisses, slow dances, whispered ‘I love you’s and hopeful ‘marry me’s. That’s why I’ve made those moments my life. No two love stories are the same and my favourites are always the ones I have yet to tell.

Which is probably enough for you to gather that I'm a hopeless romantic- a good love story will get me every time.

I love love and I love weddings, and I also love good books, long rambling conversations, classy music, ballroom and rock and roll dancing, animals of all kinds (I frequently shed sad, then happy, tears over dog rescues that pop up in my feed on YouTube), watching re-runs of Friends and I was absolutely obsessed with Bridgerton. (Were you?)

I value difference and diversity; everyone has the right to be true to themselves and everyone deserves to be happy. (I shouldn’t even have felt the need to write that- it should be a given.)

My background is English teaching. That places me in a unique position for being a marriage celebrant: I write well, I know how to engage an audience- from small, cosy groups to large crowds, and I am, and always have been, a 'people person'. (I’m even being the celebrant for some of my ex-students soon, which is probably one of the greatest ‘teacher’ compliments I could be paid!)

My favourite part of my role is getting to know you and your story so that I can craft a bespoke ceremony- one that will make your souls sing.

I care about the love you share, your values, your beliefs and the commitment you’re about to make, and this will be reflected in your marriage ceremony. I won’t be arriving at our first meeting with a bunch of generic readings I found online, nor with a copied and pasted generic ceremony. My role is to help you create your dream wedding, whether it’s a romantic, fun, heart-felt or a right-out-of-left-field wedding ceremony you’re envisaging.

I can’t wait to meet you.
