Of all our traditional ceremonies, the wedding is the sweetest, because it celebrates love.  It celebrates possibilities, its attitude is joy, its mood hope.

~Daphne Rose Kingma 

All human cultures exhibit a deep need to mark life’s key transitional stages with appropriate and meaningful ceremony and ritual, which symbolise our deepest beliefs and have a shared significance for those who gather to celebrate.  What could be more significant or of greater value than the marriage of two people who love each other? A civil ceremony gives you absolute choice as to how to go about this, and the opportunity to craft and choreograph a wedding which is unique to you.

My own wedding was conducted by a Civil Marriage Celebrant one hot December day (rather a while ago now!) on a sailing boat in a quiet arm of Sydney’s magnificent Pittwater.  The walls of our church were eucalypt-wooded hillsides, the roof a glorious summer sky, and our music was the ringing of cicadas through a haze of shimmering summer heat.  As we wafted across the water on this perfect day, our wedding was just what we had dreamed of, a reflection of our life together by the sea.  It was relaxed and intimate, yet at the same time a solemn and spiritual moment in our lives.  Our joy was shared by close family and friends, who loved our wedding on the water! 

It was a perfectly romantic way to exchange our special vows – and of course, our ceremony was conducted with great respect and sincerity by our wonderful celebrant.

With such wonderful memories of my own marriage, I am dedicated to helping and guiding others to achieve this same magical and meaningful experience on their wedding day – with a minimum of stress and fuss. 
It is an honour and a great privilege to participate as a celebrant in these unique and joyful occasions.
