Hey there loved up humans!
I am a wife, a mother and a charismatic celebrant. Its’s full and busy but I am never at a loss for energy doing the things I love.
Little me to big me:
My young life was spent within the walls of hotels and resorts with my parents in the industry. By my twenties, I had worked at many glamorous 5-star hotels within main cities, grasping what it was to deliver excellence in customer service within this luxury sector. Along the way I found myself not once, but twice working for Sir Richard Branson, managing his customer service team when it dawned on me, my passion wasn’t only customer service, it was people!
With a twist of fate, and a really awesome (as much as it was awkward), telephone job interview, I knew I had found ‘the one’. Luke, a Hotel General Manager ironically, found conversation with people wherever he went. Haaaa! I had met my human! And you couldn’t shut either of us up!
We blissfully married not long after on my parent’s property in my home town of Coffs Harbour, amidst 110mls of rain (an entirely muddy and hilariously funny story of it's own) and later added two little boys.
These past ten years, we have stacked up an impressive resume of hotels and resorts from Melbourne to Adelaide to Darwin and beyond.
Settling here on the Sunshine Coast over three years ago, has been incredibly fulfilling. My little family and I are extremely happy, with no plans to exit….and why would we want to go anywhere? #paradise
Deciding to become a celebrant was a lightbulb moment for me. Being involved in many weddings as a host on Sir Richards Branson’s Island on the Noosa river, had me watching the celebrants intently. I could do that with my luxury service experience, I thought. How FUN!
As mentioned, my previous career roles within Accor Hotels and Virgin Australia, offered me the perfect platform on where to practice and set my own business service standards, so I knew along with my excellent organisational and administration skills, I could certainly facilitate the role and well!
I am relaxed, warm and calm in nature, making me very approachable. I hold with pride my combined attributes and know they can offer you both a beautiful and memorable ceremony, with a stress-free planning process.
When it comes a wedding ceremony, it is from the heart when I put pen to paper, so if raw emotion, humour or a beautiful blend of both is what you see, I will ensure your ceremony reflects who you both are, where you have been and where you’re heading as two, perfectly.
I can also string a sentence or two together pretty well in front of a crowd without jittering up – meaning no matter how nervous you both may feel on the big day, I’ve got your backs, but certainly won’t take your spotlight!
Choosing the right celebrant can be quite the decision, and if it’s me, I feel confident you will trust that I am completely dedicated in assisting you both with your celebratory milestone. It certainly is a privilege being in such a role on the most important day of your lives.
Who knows, we may even become friends!
