A Bit About Me

As an English teacher, I’d often been asked to speak at, or lead the weddings of friends and family. It was something I really loved and enjoyed doing. So, after celebrating my daughter’s amazing tipi wedding, I decided it was time to take the plunge and become a Family Celebrant.

I love it. I get to meet some amazing couples. I spend time with them, to understand their wants, in order to craft and deliver the perfect ceremony for them. My gallery page reflects the joy and happiness created!

I live with my partner, Brian and have three grown-up children. Three years ago I became a grandmother for the first time. However, since then two more have been added to the ‘clan’. Family is very important to me, it’s where I enjoy my time and therefore make my fondest memories.

Working with couples and families to create their special memories is such a privilege. In fact I can’t believe how much I love every aspect of what I do! Just how lucky am I?

Your Wedding Ceremony – Read or Repeat the Vows?

As a wedding celebrant, when the happy couple send you some photos of their special day to say a massive thank you for conducting their wedding ceremony, you know you’ve done a good job, and I thank them for their generosity in allowing me to share them. It is often...

I celebrate diversity, inclusivity, quirkiness and individuality.
