"Believing deeply that relationships are the core of our lives, the focus of my service is you. My passion as a marriage / wedding and funeral celebrant in Brisbane and the surrounds, is to create a ceremony from the heart that celebrates your occasion with warmth. As a celebrant I draw on my life experiences as a wife, mother, stepmother, teacher, friend AND a marriage and funeral celebrant to bring a depth of experience and understanding to my business. I pride myself on being able to connect easily with people from all walks of life.
