“The moment I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lover’s don’t finally meet somewhere.
They’re in each other all along.” -Rumi

About

A little about me

IMG_1557

Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve been in love with love. Not just the fairy tale kind, but love in all its forms. I believe I was destined to be a celebrant and play a small part in creating special memories for others. I’m a professional, vibrant and genuine woman. I respect modern life and understand that families come in all different forms. My role is to be a calm presence creating a relaxed and heartfelt ceremony that will touch everyone sharing this special moment. Being chosen to work with beautiful couples and families is the ultimate honour for me. Every ceremony I’ve been involved in has made me feel so grateful to have the opportunity to be a celebrant.

How we’ll work together

Every love story is unique and I’ll do everything I can to make sure your ceremony is unique too. Together, we’ll create a celebration that’s personal, real and everything you’ve imagined for one of the happiest, most joyous days of your life. If needed, I can help blend two families together so everyone feels valued, with an important role in your day. I give my commitment to ensure your wedding ceremony, naming ceremony, renewal of vows or life celebration is an exceptional and memorable experience.

What others are saying…

  • "From the very moment we decided to go with Michelle everything just fell into place & our wedding flowed.

    Michelle is one of those beautiful people that you just fall in love with, she made everything easy for us and talked us through all our options for our wonderful day. When I saw her on the morning of our wedding she instantly calmed my bridal nerves and grounded me with her lovely gentle way.

    Our ceremony was too beautiful for words with the perfect mix of humour & love, we can't recommend her enough. We had all the paperwork done straight away and our wedding certificate in our hands in no time!

    Michelle was born for this role ... We couldn't have been happier with her!"

    - Alison and Lewin

  • "Having Michelle marry us was a truly amazing experience. She was extremely professional, supportive and very easy to work with. Michelle really took the time to walk us through everything from our vision of our wedding and our vows all the way until we received the certificate in the mail.

    On the day we had many unforeseen challenges, with weather and venue changes, which really showed Michelle's flexibility and ability to calmly support us through any small hiccups (including cyclones!) to still make our day incredible and full of love.

    I totally recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a really personalised heartfelt ceremony. She was brilliant."

    - Josh and Lynette

  • "Michelle conducted the naming day ceremony for our beautiful baby boy Charlie.

    Michelle was professional, yet warm and provided us with wonderful advice and guidance on how the ceremony could be carried out. We believe she truly wanted to understand what we wanted for Charlie's naming day. She prepared a beautiful ceremony which included special aspirations, readings and future hopes for his life ahead.

    The day was beautiful and was everything we had hoped for and more. We had so many lovely comments from our family about how the ceremony was so personal and inspiring. We were so very happy with Michelle and would highly recommend her for your next special event."
