Some people stumble upon their calling. Me? I tripped over mine, face-first, in the most unexpected way. What started as a half-serious joke about officiating one of my bestie’s weddings quickly spiraled into, "Oh hell, are we actually doing this?" to "Bro, we are actually doing this!"
A Certificate IV in Celebrancy and a few formalities with the Attorney General’s Office later—boom. I was a legit civil celebrant. Fast forward to my bestie’s wedding day, my very first time officiating. There I was, standing (panicking) before a sea of teary-eyed guests, all in awe of the breathtaking bride. Meanwhile, I was gripping the microphone, trying to keep it together as her four-year-old blessed the audience with a perfectly timed swear word. It was equal parts emotional, chaotic, heartfelt, and downright hilarious.
Then my mind drifted back to the night she first went out with her soon-to-be husband, when, on a dare, she jumped into a fountain like a scene straight out of a rom-com—only to be swiftly escorted out by security, dripping wet. Honestly, it’s a miracle they survived that night, and now here I was, about to make them husband and wife.
At that exact moment, standing in front of a crowd of people, I realised this is what it’s meant to feel like. This is what I want to do for real life. Not just signing paperwork and saying the official bits, but capturing the absolute joy, chaos, and love that makes a wedding day unforgettable.
For me, this isn’t just a job—it’s a full-blown passion project. I’m here to be more than just your celebrant. I’ll be your hype person, your legal document wrangler, your voice of calm when your second cousin starts drama, and, if needed, your emergency tissue provider.
I love creating ceremonies that are authentic, fun, and filled with love, laughter, and those perfectly imperfect moments. I’ll even handle the boring legal stuff and let your actual best friend read your ceremony script (if you trust them, that is)
So, if you’re after a celebrant who’s equal parts professional and vibing with you on a “this should be fun" level, send me a message. Let’s make your wedding day as special and maybe as unexpectedly awesome as my own journey into this wild, wonderful world of celebrancy.
