ABOUT ME

I love people, ideas and words.

Life excites me and I find something to smile about everywhere I look. I want your wedding ceremony to be the highlight of a perfect day!

A ceremony that’s warm and engaging, where your personalities set the mood.

Be it short and sweet, simple and laid back, stylish and intimate, a light hearted love party or something formal and traditional – it’s whatever is right for you.

A ceremony that’s never overly-long and definitely never boring. Always delivered with style, wit, poise and professionalism. Well dressed, well rehearsed and well spoken.

So you can relax, knowing I have the experience and dedication to make it happen.

Because most of all, I want you to enjoy it.

Let's Talk

CEREMONIES OF LOVE

Be it a marriage ceremony, a commitment ceremony or a renewal of vows – a Ceremony of Love, is first and foremost, a commitment of the heart.

A moment of deep connection, of giving and receiving. To be made to each other whenever, wherever and however you choose and it’s always such a privilege to be included in that moment.

But a marriage ceremony is also a commitment under law, thereby requiring certain paperwork and ceremony inclusions, which must be overseen by a legally authorised marriage celebrant such as myself.

The Legals

But no matter which ceremony of love you’re planning, from the simplest, to the most elaborate, I’m here to make it easy. You’ll find I’m a good listener who’s genuinely interested in what you’re planning. Thoughtful, helpful and full of great ideas. With an eye for detail and a realistic fee structure that’s as individual as you are, always reflective of my dedication and commitment to you.

Lise you did an absolutely amazing job as celebrant at our wedding! We were blown away by the whole of our wedding weekend, but it was the ceremony that really made it for us both.

We wanted to thank you again for giving us a wedding ceremony that was so lovely and memorable. We were complimented so many times during the night, people loved that the ceremony was simple, very personalised and also a good laugh. It was very special to the both of us and the whole experience of putting it all together was very enjoyable and relatively stress free. We would definitely recommend you to anybody.

Louise and Simon

“it all meant so much more”

Lise, you really changed the way we approached our wedding. You showed us that a ceremony could be something to enjoy and remember, rather than just some legal thing we had to go through before our party could start. It all meant so much more than we ever imagined. Thank you for everything.

Liz and Xavier.

“a beautiful mix of love and laughter”

I just wanted to quickly let you know that we LOVE what you have written…in fact you have nailed it. I felt teary in some parts and laughed at others. The words are a beautiful mix of love and laughter and we want to thank you so much.

Adriana and Mick

“The effort you put into the ceremony and the time you took with us”

Thank you so much for marrying us on a particularly windy afternoon in St. Kilda. We loved every moment of our ceremony – the words you wrote were so perfect for us. The effort you put into the ceremony and the time you took with us in the lead up was so appreciated and all our guests have said how much they enjoyed listening to you tell our story. We are forever grateful.

Julie & Spence

“we felt listened to and completely at ease”

Thank you so much for all the work you did in the lead up to our wedding. From the very beginning we knew we were in safe hands. We felt listened to and completely at ease and the way you took our words and turned them into such a beautiful story meant so much to both ourselves and our families. We were both nervous and emotional, but you got us through.

We just can’t thank you enough.

Leanne & Morgan
