  • "I need a celebrant!"

    Heck yeah, you do! Now to decide on the best way to go about it. Do you want a ceremony full of story and personal details? Or do you just want to get it done with the legal minimum? Are you actually just looking for the host of your next event? The choice is yours!

  • Who is she?

    Books. River swims. Homemade sushi and all Japanese food, for that matter. Sons and husband. Sun and water. Attempted gardening. Always soul-searching. Belly laughter, a good seltzer, a fantastic sunset from the front gate. There’s a song lyric for every moment. Learning to keep the fireplace running.

    That’s just the nutshell…

    she's Yolande!

Of all the great weddings you’ve attended, this will be your favourite

This is an enormous day for you and you’ve been looking forward to it for ages.

But why does booking me elevate your wedding into “best day ever” status?

  • you are at-ease because I got you, babe (legal eagle, bodyguard and good-vibe guru)

  • you feel joyful ft. happy tears (and so do your guests) because your ceremony celebrated every big and little thing about you.

  • you are excited because we will set the mood for the rest of your day…and your life.

How it works

Here are some finer details on the business of marrying your boo.

  • If you like the look of me, thankyou. Go on and send an enquiry. I’ll let you know if I’m available. If I am not, I’ll help you find a rad celebrant. If I am available you might want to schedule a chat with me to be 100% sure. Once you’ve decided, we’ll move onto Step 2.

  • If you’ve decided to book me you’ll receive an invoice for 25% of your total fee. This secures my services and is non-refundable. You’ll also sign a contract. This stuff is dull but necessary.

  • Now we begin! You’ll receive a range of quizzes, uploaded into your Client Portal. I’ll create your legal paperwork (Notice of Intended Marriage) and we will work out the best way to get it signed and witnessed. You’ll also do some fun quizzes about your love and your wedding dreams and, from that, I’ll can create your ceremony.

  • We’ll make a plan to meet and work on your ceremony. I live in a remote area so it’s most likely that we’ll do this by video call.

  • A month before your ceremony you’ll need to pay your final balance and you’ll also receive a Month-Before Checklist which will ask about any last-minute info. We will also have a quick check-in phone call the week of your wedding.

  • WEDDING DAY! You’ll sign some paperwork before the ceremony (Declaration of No Legal Impediment to Marriage) then you’ll have THE MOST AMAZING WEDDING CEREMONY EVER and then we’ll sign some more paperwork to make it legit. You will proceed to party hard. I will either stay on as your MC or I’ll head back home and register your marriage.

  • The dust has settled and your hangover is (hopefully) gone. I’ll email you to confirm that your marriage has been registered, your certificate ordered and your married lives begun. This is the end of our professional relationship but I’ll probably see you at the wedding of one of your mates. Fret not!

As seen in:

“Our wedding ceremony was perfect and much more than we had imagined.”
