Hello

I am so glad you found me! 

I'm a Toowoomba based Marriage Celebrant & MC

A Little Modern. A little Tradish. And a Whole Lotta Good Times!

I Bet You Actually Want To Enjoy

Your Ceremony... 


And I'm guessing you're after a day that's relaxed, warm, a little bit fun and definitely nothing awkward or cringe. Something with a few good laughs, some lovely moments and just the right amount of tradition.


You want it to look beautiful too, of course! But you also want to feel comfortable, enjoy yourselves and have just as good a time as everyone watching.


Sound about right?


Well, you're in the right place!


I'm all about making getting married feel easy, without losing what makes it such a big deal.


We'll have a chat, work out what you're after and put together a ceremony that looks good, feels good and has all the good stuff, without anything that doesn't need to be there.


I'll bring the ideas, the guidance and the good energy, and make sure you're comfortable and know exactly what's happening along the way.


You enjoy getting married. I've gotcha!

You know what I genuinely love? Watching my couples relax, have a laugh, soak it all in and actually enjoy the moment they're getting married.


Because that's what it's all about for me.


A ceremony with a few good laughs, some really lovely moments and just the right amount of tradition. Nothing forced, nothing over the top, just two people having the best time marrying each other.

And knowing I've helped make that happen?


That's my sweet spot!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does it cost?

    Well every couple is different and so is every wedding! My price depends on a few different things, like the type of service/ceremony you want, your location and what is involved in bringing it all together. 


    Being your celebrant is more than just the little bit of time we spend together on the day.  I get to know you both, listen to your story, create a ripper ceremony! Take coverage of all the legalities and finer details, and make sure you're comfortable and relaxed right up until you say "I Do". 


    If you're after a celebrant who is warm, has personality and genuinely cares about you, then I'd love to chat. So get in touch and let's talk about what you have got planned.


  • I got engaged - what do I do?

    Well you both sit down and have The Chat.


    The Chat is discussing what you both want your wedding to be like. Agree on the budget. Think about how many guests and what you want the vibe to be, the feel. Thoses decisions will guide you to choose the venue.


    If you’re looking at popular wedding venues on the Darling Downs, like The Dairy, Gabbinbar, Preston Manor, or barn style weddings like Aberfeldy Barn or Bracknell Lodge and Cliffdale Highland Cattle and Wedding Venue, you’ll need to be organised and secure your date. 


    Then choose a celebrant and other vendors that suits your style. If you are enjoying my vibe, then I’ll happily chat to you. So Contact me for a chat TODAY!


  • How do we book?

    Every celebrant has their own booking process, but it usually entails a booking fee and a service agreement. 


    If you'd like to book me as your celebrant, its very easy. You can send me an enquiry through my contact me form, and I will personally respond to you, with my packages and prices. 


    Once you have decided I am your celebrant, just contact me any way you prefer and let me know! 


    Whilst I can understand booking vendors can take time, please don't leave it to long to book the ones you love. Popular Wedding Vendors can book up very quickly, and generally 12-18 months in advance so you don't want to miss out. 


  • How long should I wait until I book?

    Try not to wait too long! 


    Once you have your date, start securing your wedding venue and vendors asap. 


    They will book out and you do not want to miss out on the ones you love. 

  • What does the Celebrant actually do? Isn’t it just a quick thing?

     Let me start by saying - what don’t we do??


    First and foremost marriage celebrants are duly authorised by law to solemnise marriages! Without us you wouldn’t be legally married. 


    Secondly, they lodge all the paperwork to Births, Deaths & Marriages so they can register your marriage. 


    In the background some celebrants, (which is me!) carefully curate your ceremony for you. They spend time with you getting to know you and craft the ceremony around your personality, whether it be legal only or a full on production! 


    On ceremony day they provide PA systems so all your nearest and dearest can hear  you, they hype you up, keep you calm, gather your crowd and set the tone for the day. 


    I love a good wedding win, so when you’re excited about something I am here for you!! Equally,  I am here to listen to any wedding drama you have. It’s a safe space with me, let it out… 


  • Do you travel?

    Yes, I do. 


    All throughout the Darling Downs region. Toowoomba, Dalby, Warwick, Goondiwindi & Stanthorpe.  I will also travel to Chinchilla, Oakey, Milmerran Pittsworth & Inglewood. 


    I’m always open to exploring new places, interstate and overseas too!!! 

  • What is required to be legally married in Australia?

    You must not be in a prohibited relationship, must be of marriageable age, not married to someone else, you both must consent to the marriage, give your celebrant one month’s notice by lodging a Notice of intended Marriage (NOIM) form, (which we will do together), provide evidence of your identity and place of birth, and have two people over 18 witness your ceremony. 


    Also there is some legal wording you’ll need to say in your ceremony too (I’ll let you know what that is). 


  • But we want to get married - yesterday!!

     ummmmm Sorry - you can’t. You need to give your Celebrant the Notice of Intended Marriage form a minimum of one month before your marriage. There are some exceptional circumstances where one can apply for a shortening of time. 


  • What does a celebrant wear to a wedding?

    It's very important to me I am fantastically  dressed for the occasion. Meaning, I will be dressed to impress, by complimenting your bridal party and style!   


    So whether your vibe is black-tie elegance, or relaxed country, I'll make sure my outfit fits your style and palette. 


    After all, this is one of the biggest moments in your day, and when I am standing front and centre with you,(and in some of the photos) the last thing you want is your celebrant clashing with your bridal party. 


  • How do I even plan a wedding?

    Great question. 


    Either you do it yourself and pinterest and instagram the hell out of it, or get a wedding planner, either way first thing first - make sure you both have the chat! 


    See my question: I got engaged - what do I do? For the chat definition.



  • How long does a ceremony go for?

    Popular question amongst the men! 


    It can differ, a sweet ceremony should go for somewhere around the 15-30 minute mark. 


    That’s all that is really needed - but depends on a few factors like readings, length of vows and inclusions! 


  • What happens if it is raining and we have an outside ceremony?

    Depending on your venue, they may have a plan B option to move inside.


     I will always encourage you have a wet weather plan, even though it is a last resort! 



  • How do I get my marriage certificate?

    When I submit your marriage documents to Births, Deaths and Marriages, I also arrange for your Official Certifcate to be posted to you. 

  • What is all the paperwork we need to sign?

    Firstly, you’ll sign the Notice Of Intended Marriage form,  no later than 1 month prior to your intended wedding date. 


    On the ceremony day, you’ll sign a Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage. This just confirms you meet the requirements to legally marry in Australia. Then uou’ll sign 2 Official Certificates of Marriage and a pretty form 15 Marriage Certificate. This is not the official certificate, just your proof that the marriage took place. 


Well, I think we should chat!

You've had a look around, you've got to know me a bit, and now I'd love to hear about you two!


Let's talk wedding plans, ideas and all the good stuff!
