ABOUT ME

Why I became a celebrant

Ultimately to work with lovely couples at a wonderful time in their lives and kick boring ceremonies to the curb!

I thrive on working with lovely couples who value making their ceremony a memorable part of their wedding day.

It's my mission to create a ceremony that has couples laughing and possibly crying when reading it for the first time, who then cannot wait to share it with everyone they love.

In my world, there's no such thing as cutting to the "fun part" because the celebrations start the moment your ceremony does.

On a more personal note...

  • Tequila is my superpower. Tequila shots are my ultimate party starter and I am known to have one before writing a ceremony.
  • I live in Aspendale, Vic and feel most at home by the seaside. I'm one of those psychos who is in the sea at 6am without a wetsuit, simply chasing the cold water immersion benefits.
  • Most days I'm known as "Teddi's mum" or "Jasmine's mum" - my two free-spirited, very sassy, primary schoolers.
  • In 2021 I became a Mrs, getting married at my favourite venue of all time - Blacksmith Provedore in Mulwala NSW. You can read more about that here.
  • I met my husband by puppy-sitting the wrinkly, roly poly dog you see in the photos - SADIEEE!!! A friend messaged me asking if I would look after her friend's 10 week old puppy and my response was "Now? Can I have her now?!", naturally Sadie became an integral part of our love story!

2018 - NOW

How the journey began

I did my celebrant training back in 2018 but the idea was sparked long before then...

In 2016 my then fiancé proposed, with a prop ring. He knew picking the perfect ring for me would be tricky and he was right. As with all things in life, I like to add a bit of ‘Prueness’ in this case it was a black diamond! I Insta-hunted down a jeweller with a glam vibe who could source a black diamond. Our experience designing our ring with our jeweller was incredible.

And it got me thinking… What a time to be in people’s lives! What a job to have! I started pondering how I could create the same experience in my own work life…

I’m creative and I have this snobby ‘Bachelor of Creative Arts’ degree in Theatre Studies, Creative Writing and Visual Arts that I do nothing with… Hmm… I could put some of those skills to use as a marriage celebrant!

Once Australia voted "Yes" to marriage equality, I signed up. A 12-month course, passed entrance exam and 200+ ceremonies later - here I am, creating unique and inspired ceremonies for lovely couples.
