About
Friends, forget what you know about marriage, because we’re shakin’ shit up over here!
A tiny little pandemic and Marriage Equality has seen wedding culture evolve, which really bloody excites me! So, I’m here to assist you in designing a wedding day or marriage that truly reflects you, while hopefully re-thinking some old, pale, stale traditions along the way.
Being a Celebrant isn’t my full time job. I do this because I love being around joy, holding space and connecting with my communities. That means I like to feel good chemistry with you (and hopefully it’s reciprocated) before we decide to work together. That means none of us have to feel like we’re fakin’ it LOL.
That’s why I do initial Zoom meets with you before we lock anything down, so HMU if you wanna meet!
I get around all kinds of ceremonies but specialise in alternative weddings. I’m an Event Producer, Performer, Dance-floor Dominatrix (DJ), Creative Writer, Joker, Party Starter and Public Speaker. I offer a range of pre-made packages to suit all dreams and budgets, including the triple threat “One Woman Show” – Celebrant – MC and DJ, why book 3 people when I can do it all?
I will groove with you to make your dream day as whacky, weird, white or wanky as you feel. In fact, if you swipe right on me, we’ll work together to design a ceremony that’ll make your day unlike any other. Laughter, tears, giggles, roastings and all.
I’ve been voted as a Finalist in the 2023 ABIA wedding awardsBest Celebrant category, featured in Dancing with her, British Vogue, Frankie Magazine, Broadsheet, Hello May and mentioned by Brighton Savoy, Vogue Ballroom & Vines of the Yarra Valley as one of Melbourne’s best wedding celebrants.
As a proud member of the queer community, my involvement during the 2017 Marriage Equality campaign was inspiration to become a Celebrant. What an honour to officiate LOVE ALL WAYS! That being said, my services aren’t exclusive to the queer community, I don’t discriminate *wink* love is love baby!
Dressing up (or down) for your wedding is not out of the question. If you’re theming your wedding, I’ll gladly coordinate my outfit (within reason and with consent). Have you ever dreamed of being married by Dolly Parton?
Enough about me. I’d love to get to know you and maybe be part of your rockin’ day. Let’s catch up for a no obligations Zoom chat, see if it flows nicely and hopefully work together to make your day smooth and sexy!
I can’t wait to meet you.
