"Your ceremony, created with you, to mirror your love and vision"
My Warmth, Humour, Love of Life, Gentle Guidance and Encouragement, Flair, Inclusiveness, Understanding are evident in my work.
My six years experience in celebrating weddings have been such wonderful opportunities - creating their ceremony with so many couples, each so individual, with their own expression of love, and decision to take their close relationship into marriage.
My background of teaching, both children at school in Sydney, and adults learning English as a foreign language, has heightened my sensitivity and 2-way communication skiils.
I have experience in working with interpreters, and have some Italian and French language myself.
So, too, working with the parents of children with autism for over ten years, listening, talking, and laughing with them, gave me the opportunity and affirmed my belief in the importance of instinctively including the diversity of the community in my work.
I organised Pampering Days for parents and grandparentsof children with a disability, fathers'evenings, and spoke at conferences - speakingso with small and larger groups at wedding ceremonies comes easily, and I enjoy it!
My flexibility ensures that however, wherever you choose to celebrate your marriage, I promise it will be wonderfully successful!

I am fortunate to have one of the most rewarding professions - working with couples and families to create a ceremony that fulfils their ideals, and allows them to express their love as they wish, at a time that's appropriate in their relationship.

Simply Love Celebrant - Pauline Hunter-Knight
This is an unhappy element to a joyous decision and Ceremony! - obviously...
Sometimes you know beforehand that someone may 'object' at the wedding, or indeed fear that they might.
In a Marriage Ceremony taken by your Celebrant, this is not included by law, and indeed rarely included anyway, unless the couple particularly ask for it. You will not!
You just have to believe in your love, and the power of it shared by all your other friends and family there - be it a very small, or larger wedding.
As a Celebrant, I would simply acknowledge the person objecting, and continue - 'that we are here to legally celebrate your evident love for each other, and to welcome you into Marriage.'
I think it's important to talk about any fears or relevant situations with your Celebrant, beforehand. There's no doubt that if you discuss potential worries, it often lessens your stress.
Your Celebrant will support you in every way.
