Imagine ...

I am a gay-positive authorised and accredited Civil Marriage, Naming and General Celebrant based in Kenmore in the western suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and I am happy to perform ceremonies at the venue of your choice anywhere in the Greater Brisbane area, including Ipswich, Caboolture, Redcliffe, Redlands, Logan, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast.

I specialise in (and delight in) providing custom-created same sex commitment ceremonies, baby naming ceremonies, reaffirmation of commitment vows, housewarming and end-of-relationship and  for gay and lesbian couples, celebrating and reflecting who you are and your relationship.

A ceremony takes a very short time - and when it is over all that remains is your memories some artefacts, and  your photographs. So, I spare no effort to ensure that your ceremony is unique, reflecting who you are, your values and beliefs, and that your ceremony is inclusive, and crafted with creativity and imagination - a real celebration. Every ceremony I perform is individually written to your specifications.

My goal is that your ceremony will linger in the minds of everyone present as a real mark of the occasion. I take time to get to know you, so that together we fulfil your ideals of what your ceremony should be, always bearing in mind that your commitment ceremony is the sacred space in which you make the public vows that are an expression of your love for each other and your baby naming ceremony celebrates your love as members of  family as well as your hopes, dreams and wishes for your child. I pay just as much attention to detail for all types of ceremonies.

• I have formal training in the choreography, creation and management of ceremonies, and in ceremonial public speaking, and have other academic qualifications and skills relevant to my role as a civil celebrant

• Feedback from previous clients

• I am the first, and to date, the only celebrant in Australia to attain the Advanced Diploma in General Celebrancy from the International College of Celebrancy

• In addition to training and experience, I have built up a large celebrancy-specific reference library to assist me in meeting clients specific requirements

• I provide you with access to a wide range of helpful information and resources to help you in working with me to create a unique ceremony - and I give you specific guidance on how to avoid the three things that can really ruin your ceremony

• Where the circumstances of the ceremony warrant it, I use a high-quality 75 watt wireless PA system. I also have a 20 watt system to use if the circumstances of a smaller ceremony require a PA.

• I am a member of the Professional Celebrants Association, a peak professional association that requires continuing professional development, service excellence and adherence to a strict code of professional and ethical conduct as a condition of membership, the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants, a peak professional organisation that  encourages a high standard of service to clients and adherence to a strict code of ethics for the celebrant, and the American Humanist Association
