“...to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life”

Marianne Williamson

If you're looking for a unique, beautiful ceremony to express your special occasion, then you've come to the right place. From formal and elegant to fun and quirky, and everything in-between, I can help turn your expectations into reality.

Rituals have long been an important part of the human journey, allowing us to celebrate or commemorate the important transitions in our lives – both happy and sad. Whatever the occasion you need or want to mark, I can help you create a reaffirming and meaningful ceremony that reflects your values and personality, and reflects just what it is you want to say and share with the significant people in your life.

"Thank you for your incredible care and attention - we were overwhelmingly pleased that it was not just an "insert the name" stock standard service but a detailed, individual, heartfelt effort. It turned out so well, I was thrilled (if that is an appropriate word to use in these circumstances)." Michelle

You will find information on this website on some of the more common ceremonies that I perform. Contact me for information about any ceremony that is not mentioned here. You will also find information about important legal requirements for a marriage. Clients will be given access to comprehensive resources to assist in creating a ceremony that is unique, personal and manifests your expectations.
