About Me

About me

How did I become a celebrant?

It all started after my own amazing wedding. I made a passing comment to a teaching colleague about how I would love to be a celebrant one day.

Fast forward a few years, and that playful banter turned into a real thing. That exact same colleague got engaged and asked me to officiate her wedding.

After 12 months of study and some serious paperwork, I had the honour of marrying my beautiful friend and her husband. Their incredible wedding day brought me so much joy - I knew I wanted to help more couples create their own special ceremonies.

Who am I?

I am a happily married mum who grew up in the rolling hills of South Gippsland on a dairy farm. After living and working in the city as a secondary school teacher for the last decade, I have recently returned with my family to live in the seaside town of Inverloch.

My nearest and dearest would describe me as:

Down-to-earth and approachable
Highly motivated (with a touch of perfectionism)
Super organised and reliable

Why do I love being a celebrant?

Beyond the busyness of family life, I love collaborating with couples to create wedding ceremonies that are relaxed, fun, and truly personalised.

Every love story is unique, and I really enjoy writing ceremonies that reflect your journey as a couple and the vision you have for your special day.

Thank you for considering me as your celebrant. I’d love to meet and chat about your wedding plans - fill out the contact form and I’ll be in touch to organise an obligation-free coffee catch-up.

A few kind words from some of my lovely couples! 🥰

It means so much when couples take the time to leave a Google review and share their experience.

I feel extremely grateful to be part of such a special day in people’s lives.

Thank you so much for these kind words and for trusting me to be part of your wedding day. It really means a lot! 🥹

#1 Celebrant for Gippsland & Phillip Island!

I’m still pinching myself… and honestly, I’m not sure it has quite sunk in yet! 🥹

What an absolute honour to be named #1 Celebrant in the Australian Wedding Industry Awards for Gippsland and Phillip Island!

Thank you for all your lovely messages - I've honestly been blown away. Thank you 🙏

And now… there’s another little twist. This means I’m officially a finalist for the Australia-wide awards, with the winners being announced in Brisbane on 6 January 2027.

So the big question is… do I make the trip to Brisbane?! ✈️

I’m still weighing it up, but what an incredible position to find myself in!

Being a celebrant is such a privilege, and moments like this make me incredibly grateful for every ceremony, every love story, every laugh, every happy tear and every “I do".

And just like that, my wedding season kicked off last week with a beautiful celebration for Kol and Hannah. I couldn’t be more excited... 🥂🥰

NUMBER 1 CELEBRANT - GIPPSLAND & PHILLIP ISLAND!

Well… this is pretty special and extremely unexpected!

I’m absolutely thrilled (and a little bit lost for words) to share that I’ve been named #1 Celebrant for Phillip Island & Gippsland!

To all of my couples - thank you! Thank you for trusting me with one of the biggest moments in your lives, sharing your stories with me and for being the amazing people you are.

And to my family and friends who have cheered me on - thank you for backing me, encouraging me and celebrating every little win along the way.

I’m feeling incredibly grateful and so excited for what’s ahead.

And now, with wedding season kicking off next week with Kol + Hannah, I couldn’t be more excited!

Bring on wedding season!

Wedding Industry Awards Finalist!

A full circle moment 💫

Five years ago, I was nominating my own celebrant in The Australian Wedding Industry Awards.

And now, here I am - a finalist myself! 🥹

I’m so excited to be listed alongside some of the best celebrants across Gippsland and Phillip Island.

The winners will be announced at the Wedding Industry Awards Virtual Presentation at 6:30pm on Tuesday 8 September.

While I’m under no illusion that I’m up against some incredibly talented and experienced celebrants, I already feel like a winner just to be voted as a finalist 💚

A huge thank you to all of my amazing couples who gave me the absolute privilege of marrying you over the past year - and who took the time to vote in these awards.

I’m so grateful for every love story, every ceremony and every couple who has trusted me with such an important part of their day.

Feeling very thankful 🥰

There’s a lot more to being a celebrant than what you see at the ceremony.

So, let’s get to know the person behind the microphone...

A few fun facts about me:

🐄 I grew up on a dairy farm
🏂 I love adventures and keeping busy
☕️ I'm not a coffee drinker
🌏 I love adventures

But the fun facts are only part of the story.

What I love most about my job?

Finding out about you and your story 🥰

I was hoping to keep this post in the drafts for a little longer... but my calendar had other ideas 😂

I've been sending a few too many, "I'm so sorry, I'm fully booked" emails lately, so here's a quick 2027 availability update.

I am calling it early: the upcoming wedding season is going to be incredible!

I was down at Settlers Run Golf Club over the weekend for Chelsea & Kayleb's rehearsal, and as I drove home, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. It made me feel so excited for the upcoming wedding season - marrying genuinely lovely people in amazing places.

If you're planning a 2027 wedding, this is your friendly reminder to lock in your preferred vendors sooner rather than later. Choosing people you genuinely connect with is super important.

Here's to finding your people, locking in your team, and creating a wedding day you'll never stop talking about 🥰
