My Background

I have built a very strong reputation over the past two decades as a preferred civil marriage celebrant in Hobart, Tasmania.

Formerly a teacher and trainer, I have recently undertaken further tertiary study to obtain a Master of Counselling. I am a confident and articulate speaker, very aware of personal presentation and the presence required to ensure a wedding ceremony which is thoroughly prepared, and professionally delivered.

Highly sought after, I have conducted over one thousand wedding ceremonies. So whether you live locally, or are arranging your wedding from interstate or overseas, I will carefully attend to all the legal requirements and provide the opportunity for you to create the style of marriage ceremony that you are seeking. I am also able to offer invaluable advice about suitable venues and locations, and have a balcony overlooking the city and harbour which you may use for a small wedding.

I am a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants (AFCC). As well as representing Tasmania, I am the national vice president of this organisation.

You will be keen to establish that your chosen celebrant is experienced, knowledgeable and able to meet your needs in a professional and relaxed manner. You may like to know if they are a member of a professional organisation, and whether they have appropriate insurance cover. All civil celebrants are bound by a Code of Conduct, which they should explain to you. You can also obtain this from the website www.ag.gov.au/celebrants

I welcome couples to meet with me without obligation, to discuss the style of wedding they are after. Click on 'Choosing Your Celebrant' , so you know what to look for when meeting with potential celebrants.

In order to marry, you must provide one month and one days notice to your marriage celebrant. Both parties to the marriage must also be over 18 years of age*.

You will need to supply photo identification and provide your Birth Certificate (or if born outside Australia, a Passport can be provided.)

If you have been previously married, you also need to provide a copy of the Notice of Divorce or Death Certificate (if widowed).

*Unless special permission has been granted by a magistrate.
