The Poetic Celebrant

I’m not just a wedding celebrant, I’m also a professional writer. That means no copy-and-paste approach. The best part of my job is getting to the heart of your story as a couple and writing a ceremony that reflects your personalities, relationship and the atmosphere you want to create on the day. Every couple is welcome, and every ceremony is designed to tell your story in a way that feels natural and meaningful.

Poetry lasts forever. As part of my service, I will write you a custom poem about your love story that you can keep.

I am also a dance floor starter, a vintage fashion lover and always up for a laugh. Planning your wedding with me will be like working with an old friend.

Absolutely. I’ve written a wedding vow-writing guide to help with structure, style and harnessing the spark of inspiration. I’m not joking when I say my own husband used it to write his vows!

I’m also happy to read over your vows and offer feedback. Beyond that, I can help you incorporate creative or symbolic elements that add depth and personality to your ceremony without feeling forced or overly traditional.

Absolutely, I will travel for your wedding. Travel is included in metro Melbourne and Ballarat. For regional locations a little further out, I add a simple travel fee depending on distance and time, but I’ll always confirm everything upfront. As a millennial who never visits a café without reading the menu first, I value transparency!

I love that modern wedding ceremonies can truly reflect the people getting married. Whether you’re planning a big celebration, an intimate gathering or a non-traditional wedding, your ceremony should feel like you. I love incorporating different cultures, identities and family structures in ways that feel respectful, inclusive and genuine. Every couple is welcome. And don’t worry, there’ll be no surprise promises to “honour and obey”.
