Every Wedding Celebrant Needs Friends
No celebrant is an island, and just like the song lyrics "we get by with a little help from our friends," I do too!
​
In order to be the best celebrant I can be I'm a member of The Celebrant Society which provides me not only with ongoing professional development (did you know that Australian celebrants must complete at least five hours every year?) but inspiration, support, networking and my professional indemnity and public liability insurances.
It also means that if I'm ever taken ill or injured and can't perform a ceremony I've got not one or two, but a whole tribe of amazing celebrants backing me up. If you ever see their logo on a celebrant's site, then you know that you are dealing with one of Australia's best and innovative celebrants, guaranteed!
​
Connected thanks to The Celebrant Society, I am also part of a band of local celebrants, The Celebrant Effect, who have each others backs and support each other in all manner of ways! Check us out on Insta!
When it comes to your special day, a successful wedding is like a successful stage production. Even if there are only a few roles out the front, there is a large backstage crew supporting those roles and making the performance look and feel amazing. Everything runs smoothly if there is good communication between the cast and the crew, and between each area behind the scenes.
​
Although with my vast event management experience I have the ability to co-ordinate and plan your wedding, please know though that I won't be acting as your planner or co-ordinator.
Instead my energies will be focused on the creation and performance of your personalised ceremony. I will always happily work with each one of your suppliers, whoever you choose, to make your day what you have always dreamed of!

South Coast Weddings
Here on the South Coast, you'll find amazing and talented local wedding suppliers who will all work together to service the South Coast, Southern Highlands, Illawarra and Shoalhaven.
We're a close network who still welcome anyone with heartfelt country hospitality and easy-going natures - there's never a problem too big we can't solve together.
My first go to suggestion is to take a look at the South Coast Wedding Fair Directory and also the awesome South Coast Local Weddings on Instagram, but if you struggling at all with finding suppliers then I'm happy to recommend some of my favourites below, and if none of them suit then I can refer you others or someone to help x
