OVERVIEW
It's an honour and privilege having the best seat in the house, this is a family and friends event, so lets relax and enjoy ourselves:)
Welcome aboard, congratulations on your engagement.
Weddings! I'm sure you have all experienced the boring, cringe worthy Ceremony...this was my compelling moment.
I became a Celebrant and vowed to create fun, engaging, bespoke ceremonies, conscious of whom the stars of the day are...you.
Your Wedding is a family and loved ones event. I embrace and engage everybody as soon as they arrive, and ensure all are in the moment.
The “Celebrant with wings”- Why? Well, I am also an International Flight Attendant, have been for 30 years. My experience with flying all over the world has educated me in connecting with all cultures and ethnicities, whether it be looking after people such as Nelson Mandela, dignitaries, celebreties or taking care of wide eyed refugees flying out of Africa. (Happy to deliver a phrase in any language too)
I also MC for all types of events. Being the Master of ceremonies and marrying you can be a fun more personal combo.
Fitzroy being home, Melbourne my backyard:) I enjoy a drive, so travel State wide not an issue.
If you desire a simple elopement/Registry style wedding, can do.
Easiest way to get to know me is a quick chat or better yet meet up.

Get Expert AdviceIs it OK to ask a celebrant to wear a costume at our wedding?
Hello! I've read some responses to celebrants dressing in a matching style etc. Is it rude to ask if they wouldn't mind wearing a costume? I've read somewhere a couple got married by batman and then the obvious Elvis option.. I like the idea of an iconic character and think it would be something to remember but wouldn't want to offend anyone or make it a bad experience. TIA

Yes it is! I have dressed up at surprise weddings as Borat and a waiter, an absolute hoot.
My next surprise wedding my disguise will be as a photgrapher! Now when one does you do have to play the part thus your acting skills are important.
Of course this is still up to each individual Celebrant, so it is a matter of finding an agreeable Celebrant.
It can be such great fun, good luck.

Fun celebrants?
Looking for someone who can make our wedding unique and a bit more fun!

Fun for me as a Celebrant comes naturally. The key is for it not to be contrived or rehearsed, but how do we achieve this? Chemistry... between the couple, myself and the audience. The skill to ad lib is vital, not everybody can do this and is something that just flows with the moment but being mindful of whom the stars are, the marrying couple. My skill is in my writing and seazing the moment with a pause, a look, a quick barb or simple banter with those involved.
So, call me... Celebrant with wings:)

Rui and Carmen. Their story provided me with such fantastic material, their ceremony was so much fun to write, we had genuine joy and heaps of laughter through out. The interaction with Carmen's Mum and Dad during the Ceremony was a highlight. I love these guys.
