A CEREMONY WITH EMILY
“I love tradition mixed with the warmth of personality and a modern sophistication.
My ceremonies are created to take you and your guests on a seamless journey through your story with fun and authenticity, so everyone experiences something truly special.
I don’t do cookie cutter readings; I don’t mention clichés about trees and I don’t do long and boring. I make your’s a ceremony to remember.”

100mL of Sophistication
2 cups of Modern Style
1 tbsp Fun
Pinch of Magic
Pint of Eloquence
1 cup of Creative Originality
Your CEREMONY WITH EMILY
From the simplest of ceremonies to the fun of a ceremony with all the “bells and whistles” I offer 3 different ceremony styles plus a Mistress of Ceremony package so you can find your perfect match.
Bespoke
Your Bespoke ceremony can include all the special trimmings you want. Do you have a special ritual you want celebrated ? Do you want your family to do a reading or friend to sing a song? Do you want your pets included?
With your Bespoke ceremony the possibilities for customising your perfect ceremony are endless.
SHORT & SWEET
Your Short & Sweet ceremony includes all the love in a simpler affair.
If your ideal ceremony is straightforward and effortless – if you would like me to tell your story before you share your own vows – if you’d like to consider adding a short reading or poem – then the Short and Sweet gives you a customised ceremony with clean lines.
legals only
For those that want to be legally married without the ceremony, the Legals Only gives you the the bare minimum required for a legal marriage without personal vows, readings or the telling of your story,
If you want to be married in a “registry office” style at your home or in a park- the Legals Only option is for you.
MISTRESS OF CEREMONY
Keep the magic of the ceremony going into your reception. This package is for the couple that want a seamless transition from their ceremony to the reception. It includes all the trimmings from the bespoke ceremony plus a personalised reception that will run smoothly without having to rely on a family member or friend.
As your MC I will guide you through the run sheet of the reception so that we together create a reception that is as fabulous as your ceremony.
And if needs be, I’m even happy to get the dancing on the dance floor started.

Getting married under the covid-19 conditions was a strange affair, but Emily made us feel so comfortable and calm. I initially chose Emily because she was competent and clear in her initial contact with me and explained the whole process of getting married to us in an easy to follow manner. But what really stood out were her warmth and dedication in making our day as stress free as possible – especially under the circumstances. I don’t think many people could have worked with the amount of stress we were under and still helped us stay grounded and connect with one another before the ceremony. She is exactly the kind of person I had hoped to find when we went looking for a celebrant and I cannot recommend her more highly!

Words cannot describe how amazing our ceremony was because of Emily. She had every detail of the day covered and could explain this to us simply so it was easy and stress free for us to follow. She encouraged us to include other elements in our ceremony that we would never had thought of to make our day unique. Emily was incredibly professional yet relaxed, spoke extremely well and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Emily as a part of their special day will not be disappointed.

Emily was brilliant. She went above & beyond her role as a celebrant. She gave us ideas & helped us make decisions about our special day… from the moment we first met Emily we knew she would make our ceremony special & personal and she definitely did 😊… it is very clear that Emily loves what she does & everyone at our wedding commented on how beautiful Emily conducted our ceremony… she is bubbly & extremely easy to deal with, I would highly recommend her to anyone & everyone… she even checked in on me often when all the restrictions were changing around Covid.. I felt like I could turn to her for advise & I often did to which she responded. She communicated separately with my now husband to ensure our vows were secret & special to hear for the first time on our wedding day!

Emily is such a beautiful person. She totally understood what was important to us and just let us be us and was great at showing the truth of our relationship. I hope that she will be a part of our lives for a long time and we even asked her to celebrate the birth of our children with us before she even married us. We just knew she was one of our people. You cannot go wrong with Emily she made our crazy dogs be at ease and was great with everyone of our guests. Everyone said how amazing she was. Cannot recommend enough.
