BRISBANE CELEBRANT + MC
Whether planning to marry with a cast of hundreds, in an intimate occasion or a romantic elopement, I’ll convey your once-in-a-lifetime moment with the perfect balance of sincerity, wit and flair, evoking a festive atmosphere to celebrate the happiest day of your lives.
Genene, you weren’t just our celebrant and MC – you were the heart of our day. Savana + Curtis, Maleny Manor
As every wedding is unique, I work alongside you to ensure that your ceremony captures your essence as a couple, be it light-hearted, romantic, formal, traditional or filled with humour and fun. I understand that some couples will have a clear vision of their ceremony and others will not, so I welcome a level of collaboration that is comfortable for you.
Your ceremony is inspired by you and exclusively yours. Learning about your love story and you as a couple allows me to ‘tease out’ the elements that are significant to you and weave those sentiments throughout your ceremony. You can relax knowing our preparations, and your wedding will be emotive and memorable for all the right reasons!
I invite you to read on to learn about my process and inclusions. Arrange a complimentary chat and personalised quote to discover if I am the perfect match as your Brisbane Celebrant.
IF YOU VALUE YOUR I-DOS
WE MAY JUST BE A PERFECT MATCH
1| FIRST HELLO
Enjoy a complimentary chat, either over the phone or via video call– whichever you prefer. This is a relaxed opportunity for us to connect and for you to determine if I’m the right fit for you both. I will explain how everything works and what you can expect during your ceremony and on your wedding day, plus answer any questions you may have.
2| BOOK & SECURE
Once you’ve decided I’m the perfect celebrant for you and your wedding day, lock me in and secure your date with a booking fee. You can then relax and enjoy our preparations as I calmly guide you through each step of the process.
3| IDEAS & INFORMATION
Together, we will discuss your wedding and ceremony vision, I’ll ask you questions and listen to your answers so that I can create a ceremony that is perfect for you. Your pre-marriage legal documents will also be signed at this appointment.
4| CREATE
Using all the wonderful ideas and information you’ve shared, I’ll develop a bespoke ceremony that perfectly captures who you are.
Weaving the sentiments you’d like conveyed, your moments from hello to I do – humorous narratives, adventures, misadventures, and your personal vows – when you are ready to share them, I will compose a ceremony that is uniquely yours.
5| CELEBRATE
Cue the music and prepare the confetti, it’s time to say I do and celebrate you.
