A professional celebrant who is friendly and obliging towards people with a sense of humour and who can remove most of the stress and strain from the ceremony.
About Me
Following appointment by the Attorney General of Australia in 1995, I have conducted approximately 1250 weddings. I find it very rewarding and gain much satisfaction from performing all the varied duties of a civil celebrant and being able to use my skills in dealing with people.
It is the best job I have ever had and now at 62 years of age, I find that it is a great feeling being a part of one of the happiest days in the life of the Bride and Groom and their families.
I am not a serious, conservative type of person, but I do not get up at the ceremony and tell jokes either - rather I see the job of a celebrant is to conduct the wedding ceremony in a thoroughly relaxed and happy atmosphere but at the same time, with dignity and meaning. I strive to maintain a balance between the formal and personal aspects of the ceremony.
My wife, or 'roadie' as I call her attends most weddings with me and can provide that extra help to the Bride and her attendants just at the right time.
I provide Appreciation Certificates for all Flower Girls and Page Boys to be presented by the Bride and Groom at the conclusion of the ceremony.
I am a committee member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants and a member of the Association of Civil Marriage Celebrants, Victoria. Both organisations demand a very high standard of quality and excellence from their members.
