Ceremony creates a moment, a memory, a tradition.

Welcome to my website.

I am a full time, experienced civil celebrant who lives and works in Ballarat and the surrounding areas, and I have a genuine passion to create meaningful, celebratory civil ceremonies to honour a significant moment in your life.

My enthusiasm for recognising the important milestones in life is reflected in the care and effort I put into creating and conducting unique civil ceremonies. Each milestone in your life - whether it is your marriage, a name giving, a significant birthday, or any other ceremonial occasion - is an achievement. I will therefore recognise it as such, with a positive, celebratory civil ceremony that will provide the basis for the next step in your life's journey.

As an experienced civil marriage celebrant, I don't rely on flowery sentiments or long waffling phrases to give meaning to the ceremony or to lecture you about the reasons why we are there. Nor do I use or include any religious words, sentiment or symbolism in your ceremony unless you specifically request it.

I write and use gentle, light and meaningful wording to create the ceremony in the way you have told me you envisage it.  The comprehensive and extensive booklets, that I have written offer you choices and ideas for your wedding, naming, same sex commitment ceremony, renewal of marriage vows ceremony.  When we meet (either face to face or in cyberspace), I make many suggestions regarding your ceremony, knowing from my six years of experience, what is likely to work to help create a ceremony that will be fondly remembered for all the right reasons.

Each ceremony that I create first and foremost recognises the specific occasion whether it be a marriage or a naming or any other milestone in your life.  Supporting and surrounding the heart of the ceremony is the inclusion of your family and friends, acknowledging and honouring the reasons why they are witnessing and sharing and therefore contributing, to this significant moment in your lives.

I offer you professional, creative civil ceremonies for a wedding, name giving, commitment or affirmation of marriage ceremony, renewal of vows, significant birthdays, "this is your life story" ceremonies and funerals.  If there is another event in your life that you wish to celebrate, for whatever reason, I am happy to help you to achieve a memorable and meaningful occasion.  Let me show you how I can help your day be perfect.

Please look through my website for further information about specific ceremonies and to view some of the many testimonials and photos that have been given to me in acknowledgement of the service I have provided.

Dear Julie,  
Thank you so much for what was a beautiful start to our beautiful wedding day.  Your suggestions and ideas helped us to understand what the ceremony was about and helped us enormously with our planning and preparation.  It all ran so smoothly and effortlessly.
We could never thank you enough for making our wedding day so unique and enjoyable. Your beautiful words, creative ideas and the special inclusion of our mothers brought smiles and tears to everyone who attended our special day. Good luck with your future weddings.
Belinda and Danny
