Absolute Gem to Work With

Christine was an absolute gem to work with from start to finish. We approached her a mere 5 weeks before our wedding date, and despite the short preparation time, she delivered our ceremony flawlessly. We especially loved her willingness to alter the dialogue exactly to our wishes, and incorporate our sense of humour into the ceremony. Christine's professional approach and friendly demeanour made her not just popular with us, but popular with the whole family. We would definitely recommend her to others. - Oleksandra and Jamie

Christine made the lead up to our wedding ceremony very easy and clearly explained the process of what needed to be done before and on the day. Christine was very easy to get along with and made us feel so comfortable.

I would 100% recommend using Christine, her bubbly and charismatic personality broke any nervousness and stress within the first moments of the ceremony and made the whole thing effortless and fun!

The Ceremony Was Beautiful

Recently, my husband and I renewed our vows with Christine being our celebrant. The ceremony was beautiful and we pretty much re-enacted our original wedding, which was Christine's suggestion and I am so glad we did as I loved it. Christine ensured that our guests could hear the whole ceremony and that our four children were included in the service which was very important to us. There were so many things that Christine added to our ceremony that I didn't even think of, such as reading out our original passages (and they were read by the original guests who read them at our first wedding). The highlight was when my husband and children all signed another marriage certificate, another beuatiful suggestion of Christine's that I will be forever grateful for. Thank you so much for your services Christine. You turned our day into something we will remember as much, if not more so, than our original wedding.

You Are Truly a Master of What You Do

Christine you are truly a master of what you do. I felt at ease from the moment we met. Choosing a celebrant was one of the most important decisions I had to make in my opinion, I was having a rainbow wedding so I needed a celebrant with a rainbow personality....and I found her! She kept my cheeky groom and groomsmen in line kept her nervous bride calm and kept my guests engaged and smiling. All my guests spoke of how fabulous Christine was. Don't hesitate book Christine you won't regret it!

Impressed with Professionalism and Organisation

My husband Tim and I we were most impressed with both the professionalism and organisation that Christine brought to the table. She spent a lot of time on our ceremony content in order to make sure that it suited us. She was very willing to be flexible and listen to the ideas that we had for the wedding ceremony. We didn't need to worry about a single thing on the day and Christine made us both feel very comfortable. I highly recommend this celebrant for your special day!

Easy to Work With, Professional, Friendly and Really Listened

Christine was perfect! She was easy to work with, professional, friendly and really listened to everything that we wanted from our ceremony. The ceremony was a true reflection of our relationship and us as a couple; from recognising the traditional owners, writing our own vows, recognising same-sex couples in a beautiful way, and creating a simple, non-traditional ceremony. The ceremony had many in tears and created much laughter, what a beautiful way to start our marriage. Thank you for from the bottom of my heart!

I Would Highly Recommend Christine

As the Mother of the Groom , I was thrilled with the Christine's approach to Luke and Emma's wedding ceremony, she managed to capture their individual personalities, while maintaining a very professional approach throughout the lead up preparations and on the day.

Christine took away the pressure and any stress of the day , and had a calming influence over the wedding party.

I would highly recommend Christine for your special occasion , and would like to personally thank Christine for helping make this a fairytale for our families!!

A Truly Wonderful Experience

Christine made our special day a truly wonderful experience. From settling the nerves of the bride (and groom) to making the guest feel part of the service, nothing seemed to much trouble for her.

Christine's preparation for the day was first class and like any special event it was the little things she did that made that our day flow and work really well.

We had guest comment on how wonderful our service was and we had questions like "did u know her before this" which was a reflection on how well she engaged with us and our guests on the day.

Thank you again Christine for a truly wonderful day that u were a big part off.

What Are You Looking For From Your Celebrant?

 Professionalism

Being professional is not just about qualifications and courses, I feel it is about punctuality, appearance, availability, attentiveness and seeing the “project” through from conception to delivery. I have a Certificate IV in Celebrancy from the Academy of Celebrancy, Australia; I am a member of The Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants;  Association of Civil Marriage Celebrants of Victoria and also a member of Australian Marriage Celebrants, so you can rest assured you will be in expert hands.

 Personality

Your occasion will be delivered by an experienced, pleasant & knowledgeable celebrant who works with you to create, a unique & happy ceremony to celebrate the special nature of your relationship. I am interesting; a good public speaker and know the “tricks of the speaker’s trade”. Depending on your requirements these can include, variety, humour, drama and interest, which will ensure that everyone is included and really appreciates and enjoys your special day.

 Value For Money

On the face of it celebrant fees seem high for what appears to be such a short amount of time which is why some will choose to cut costs in this area. This is a false economy as a “cheap” celebrant can have a disastrous effect on your big day. The time and effort I put in to planning your individual ceremony such as; Initial response to enquiries, quotations, client visits & interviews, ongoing contact, on-site rehearsal, consultation & preparation of wedding documentations, preparing registration documents, legal attendances, provision of information & resources, ceremony preparation, finalise and print client booklet, attend & conduct the ceremony can easily amount to 10 hours work. In addition there are travel costs, office equipment, insurances, materials, etc.

You will soon see that my fees represent excellent value for money once you take those factors into consideration.

 Free Consultation

This is one of the most important parts of my celebrant services. I will make time to meet you personally. This is to see how you get along with me and for you to decide whether I am your type of person before spending any money. During this meeting I can provide useful resources, help and information. I can also provide you with detailed information on ceremonies, vows and traditions. I am also always available to give you the advice and assistance you need to make your dreams come true.

I am passionate about what I do, I always put 100% into everything and I am sure that I can provide the dream wedding or celebration that you have always wanted.
