"Thank you JC for stepping in last minute, you truly were our saviour today."

Me: "Thank you so much for the shout-out. Also, the wine you're all drinking was water before I arrived, so you're welcome!"

- An excerpt from a wedding + MC gig I took on for a sick cele-buddy.

All jokes aside though, if I'm filling in for your original celebrant, or with you from the start, I'm always going to bring the good vibes!

1 vs 100

On November 18th 2021, I posed for this photo for the first time not knowing that it would become the thing I’d ritualistically do before every wedding and that less than 3 years later I’d be standing here for the 100th time.

Of course, every wedding is different: from the paperwork signings in homes, parks or VR game studios to the most lavish wedding venues and remote islands, this pose is like that deep breath that reassures me: “I’ve got this!”

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be ready. I was ready for wedding 1 just as I’m ready for wedding 100 but with a whole lot of experience in between. I’m looking forward to being ready for 200 (and beyond) and the growth that will come from it 💕

“Do you promise to love, honour and cherish each other in good times, like when drumstick minis are half price at Coles, and in bad times like when drumstick minis are full price at Coles, and do you always promise to lead the dance, follow the fun, and continue on this journey side by side for the rest of your life?”

“I do” 💕

Who says Nanna can’t get in the celebrant photo?

Not me!

Let’s dance! 🕺🏼💃🏻

I love working with couples as their celebrant AND first dance teacher! It’s such a fun way to get to know each other better before the big day!

I had such a fab time working with these two to put together a first dance to a classic banger of a tune that was everywhere when they first met!

A year ago today I had the pleasure of attending The Funeral Fix In Person workshop in Melbourne with

I reflect upon what I learned and how it has lead me to what I’m doing today as a funeral director and celebrant in partnership with

What I have learned is that learning never stops. I look forward to continue learning and growing in both the wedding and funeral industries providing services for beautiful and memorable life events 💕

Inclusive wedding parties!

Who says that the special people you want with you at the arbour need to be of a certain gender?

Definitely not me!

You don't always have to exchange rings...
.. but when you do, I like to combine it with the legal vows.

Why?

Because this is the moment where you become legit married! The paperwork afterwards is the formality of this moment, but you are already married by the time we sign.

Once the words have been said, I move right out of the way so you can get snaps of the exact ring placement.

Those just married smiles!

My goodness, this photo exudes joy and perfectly captures the feeling of Donna and Matt's special day.

What an honour it was to be their celebrant with this fabulous crew!

"All this she must possess," added Darcy, "and to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading."

Quoting Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Tick! ✅

We are more than 20 minutes.

Thanks to for creating this graphic and to for continuously inspiring its members to learn and grow!

What a fab day it was officiating and MCing for Leanne and Daryus!

"Our ceremony was beautiful, with personalised stories and input from selected guests. JC brought the vibe and set the scene for an amazing evening. Many of our guests mentioned what a great job JC did, keeping guests entertained and engaged."

Rather than sitting in a dedicated vendor room, I was seated with guests for the reception and it was so much fun getting to know the aunties and uncles I was sitting with.

I had such a wonderful time celebrating these two! 💖

I do LOVE a good shoe game when the answers are different... or when they're the same! Win-win!! 🥳

The benefits of arriving early! 🎶

⭐️ DANCE LESSONS ⭐️ In addition to teaching couples for their first dance, I also run weekly swing dancing group classes with Rusty through Rusty’s Swing Dancing in Mitcham on Wednesday nights. Here is a snippet from our beginner lesson last night. That’s right, you can learn how to do this in 50 minutes! We welcome walk-ins all year round and while the dancing is partnered you don’t need to bring one with you. Come join us at 7pm on Wednesdays at Antonio Park Primary School in Mitcham. And yes, we’re running through the school holidays!

I LOVE writing parody songs (like Weird Al Yankovic) especially with kazoo solos! Here’s a snippet of one I prepared earlier to celebrate my 4-year anniversary working at EA. #tcs_photo_challenge

Day 5: Fave or dream wedding vendor I always LOVE working with @adornstrings (formerly Briar String Quartet.) Here’s a snippet of their angelic (get it!) sound from the weekend. It’s always a pleasure working with live musicians during a ceremony as the cues are always seamless and the sound is extraordinary! #tcs_photo_challenge #wedding #unpluggedceremony #melbournewedding #melbournecelebrant #melbourneweddingcelebrant

Excited to be adding some Collegiate Shag dancing to an upcoming wedding dance choreography! 💃🏻 #weddingdance #weddingdancechoreography #melbournecelebrants #marriagecelebrantmelbourne #firstdance
