CEREMONIES
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.”

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.
Additional Services
NOIM and VISA Letter
Is your partner from another country? I can assist you to get married or apply for a spousal visa.
OVERSEAS
If you want a destination wedding I can ensure you also have an Australian registered marriage.
I can take care of all the Australian legal requirements – so you can jet set off for an overseas wedding party knowing you’re truly a married couple.
Authorized Civil Celebrant
An Authorized Civil Celebrant (celebrant) in Australia is a legal position appointed by the Commonwealth Attorney General after completion of a Certificate 4 in Celebrancy.
As an Authorized Civil Celebrant I can legally marry people that are legally able to. I can also officiate over other types of ceremonies including baby namings, vow renewals and funerals.
focus on you!
As your marriage celebrant, I'm your legal marriage administrator, your love story writer, your story teller and your ceremony stage manager on your big day. My Focus on You approach allows me to create your unique ceremony.
I learn about you as individuals and a couple with a questionnaire and our meet and greet.
We explore ceremony ideas together - there are endless possibilities for your ceremony
I have a policy of officiating only one wedding per day - so I can completely Focus on You on your day.
quality assured
Recognised within the industry for 5 star excellence, and with very happy clients, I proudly offer exceptional quality in all aspects of celebrancy.
(See some of my reviews below.)
every little detail
From our first meeting to your ceremony day you can relax that I have all the details covered so you can enjoy and soak up the special moments.
I ensure your legal requirements are met, and I'll step you through the process of developing your ceremony from start to finish. On the day I'll arrive early to set up my professional PA system, meet your ceremony team and be ready with my emergency kit to sew on a button if required!
What happens next
Let’s Meet!
We should get to know each other. You need to know if I am going to suit your style – and if I do – I need to know you and how I can create your perfect ceremony.
I offer a no obligation, free meet and greet either online or over a coffee or drink at various locations around Newport (Vic) where we can get to know each other and explore ceremony ideas. I take heaps of notes so if you decide to choose me as your celebrant, I already have an idea of the ceremony you want.
