I’m a simple country girl at heart . I love chickens, chocolate and my twin girls — closely followed by my dog, karaoke and tap dancing.
I promise to do none of these things during your ceremony.

I specialise in modern, personalised wedding ceremonies that are warm, relaxed and professionally delivered.

About me
Services
I’m genuinely passionate about my role as a celebrant and completely at home in front of a crowd.
There’s nothing quite like that moment when one partner sees the other for the first time - that quiet gasp, that look, that split second where the world seems to pause. It gives me goosebumps every time!
Beyond weddings, I also officiate vow renewals, naming ceremonies, pet funerals and celebrations of life, so whatever chapter you’re celebrating or honouring, I’d be privileged to guide you through it.
Proudly inclusive and welcoming to all couples.
