Wendy Atkinson Civil Celebrant

"I am a mature, experienced, yet youthful professional with over thirty years experience in helping individuals and families transition through life stages and crises. I have a family of four adult children and have also lived through a few ‘life transitions’ of my own, so you are guaranteed to get a warm reception and a listening ear! I love listening to your story and capturing the essence of who you are as individuals and as a couple My passion for literature and music and repertoire of perfect pieces from which you can choose, our collaborative efforts coupled with creative writing skills, will ensure that your ceremony will be moving, meaningful and memorable, the perfect expression of your uniqueness My acting and voice training and experience gives me that performance edge to truly elevate those carefully chosen words for your ceremony. But I never forget that you are the stars of your own show and ensure that you feel supported before and during your special day My organisational skills have been honed by years of management and project supervision, including a stint in hospitality and event management, so I am a born facilitator. You can be assured that everything will run smoothly, the legal work taken care of, the ceremony is magical, your guests are enthralled and you are ecstatic I am muti-lingual and can conduct ceremonies in French, German or Italian. My strong appreciation of our cultural richness means that I can source a range of rituals and symbols that perfectly reflect the diversity of your beliefs or backgrounds. While always acknowledging the solemnity and significance of your wedding ceremony, there is always place for humour, lightness and fun on this most joyous occasion – and with me you will certainly get it!
