Weddings/ Commitment Ceremonies -

I started working in the wedding industry in some of Victoria's no 1 wedding venues - Nathania Springs, Lyrebird Falls, Poets Lane and The Portsea Hotel, thus bringing a wealth of knowledge to my celebrant business. As a trained teacher - I enjoy speaking in front of large audiences and making people feel comfortable. My Teaching has developed a compassion and pa

tience in working with children. I love the inclusiveness of children in ceremonies and making them feel important. As a function co-oridnator of wedding venues, I thoroughly enjoyed making couples special day's run smoothly. My role as Master of Ceremonies and in house DJ have enriched my people skills and form a sound back bone to my knowledge and understanding of what truly makes a great wedding - one that will be remembered. As a Function Manager - I developed my ability to communicate effectively. I thoroughly enjoyed assisting couples in the preparation of their special day. In this role I facilitated the organizing, planing and co-ordinating of numerous suppliers which I now look forward to sharing with you as an added bonus in my role as your celebrant. "Making someone's fairytale wedding come true is truly rewarding". Baby Naming Ceremonies -

Welcoming a child into this world is an occasion that is worthy of celebrating. As a mum myself I thoroughly enjoy working with parents in organizing and delivering a memorable ceremony that will be treasured by family and friends forever. A ceremony that is a true reflection of the unique family bond in which you all share. I look forward to hearing from you about how I can assist you further in planning your special day.

When we said we had been friends for 27 years we sort of looked sideways… we don’t feel old enough. We met at our very first job, a job that quickly became a forever family of incredible humans who could say - We were the Lyrebird Crew. Hand on heart, they were the BEST days of my life. We waitressed tables, served the food, poured the drinks, rolled the red carpet, mopped the wet chairs, played the music, MC’d the night, called the taxis, wrote the rosters and fluffed a billion dresses. We have seen it all and finally yesterday my dear friend Nikki got to slip her wedding band on in THE PARTY she had been waiting for.

Happy WEDDING DAY

Hope you had THE BEST DAY!!!

Dad’s Hat….

Not much more to say other than I’m glad I could have a piece of my incredible dad with me out on country. He loved the red dirt, he loved Travelling, he loved the land… and instilled in me a love of this incredible place, the Outback!

What once was a pipe dream has turned into a reality with multiple amazing Uluru elopements. The relationship formed with is now a life long friendship. I’m so grateful for our antics, friendship and banter. We aren’t lucky, we are blessed to have created what we have created ###

Looking forward to being back on country this weekend…

Australia is such a truly incredible place where we really are spoilt for choice with places to marry people.

Marrying in the center of Aus, red dirt between your toes, stunning warm afternoon sunsets… it’s spectacular and breathtaking and sometimes you are left completely and utterly speechless.

I’m looking forward to seeing my gorgeous friends at Lisa & Chris to wrap up the 2023 Uluru calendar for

Micro weddings have been a thing for us for a very long time and it still excites me that after all this time behind the hedge that we keep finding little nooks to capture a private moment or two with our gorgeous couples.

Well here we are... on country...​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Have I told you that my 'sister' business Elope Australia has an exclusive partnership with Uluru Camel Tours to bring the most incredible RED CENTRE elopement packages.

The Camel Farm has the closest PRIVATE sand dune overlooking the rock which makes for the most perfect backdrop to say "WE DO".

Our team is incredible at what they do, From travel plans arranged by Claire Crosby to the hair and makeup team on site from start to finish and all that is in between. We capture the magic as it happens and just LOVE what we do.

Love Notes...​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Let's talk about vows... yeah it can be tricky to think of what to jot down when it comes to writing your vows. I like to think of them as little love notes. Fill us in on how you met, what you love about one another, some promises to each other and what you look forward to in the future together.

Jaime and Harley included a bit of humour with Jaime 'vowing' to unclog the blocked drain in the shower even though it has nothing to do with her *wink wink*

Make them true to you, don't google them, if you were to write a card you don't go back and change it, you jot your thoughts down and the first go is always the best one. Don't overthink it, you will nail it when you are standing out the front with the love of your life! You've got this!

Before 'GO' time we are often found buttoning up dresses, holding bouquets, filling the nervous silence with silly antics. It is no different when we travel across the country... Melissa found our team at her side the entire process. Kel for makeup touch ups and I may have had a can of fly spray at hand throughout the first look!

Thanks to the team on this trip







I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, and pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging.

How incredible was this family elopement at Mount Buller. Close to my heart my mum and dad taught me to ski at Buller at 5 years of age. It was a treat to spend time with this family on the mountain even through the white out and freezing conditions the warmth was felt by our team as we watched on to witness this little family unite as one.

You know how they say home is where the heart is, we think that where you choose to get married is kinda the same theory.

We have couples asking us to specifically find chapel venues each year, and while we love ourselves a chapel, and we can totally find what you’re after, we challenge our couples to look beyond the ‘traditional’ to know that wherever you choose to get married will be spectacular. As much as it’s lovely to have ‘that’ view, or ‘that’ chapel you had seen on Pinterest, wherever you stand and say those words to eachother, that’s the real, honest, and most important part, what’s being said and done on that day, the start of your new beautiful adventure, chapel or no chapel.
When we recently did a scout to find the perfect spot for Miranda and Dan’s snow elopement we found this spot right here, and the view was absolutely stunning.
On the day the clouds rolled in and that view was lost, but we still married them here because at the end of the day we were still in the snow, and Miranda and Dan had their closest little people hugging them as they made those promises to eachother. What was there was absolute love and joy, and that’s the only thing that matters. ❤️🙌🏻
