About

Hi, I am Helena and hopefully your marriage Celebrant. After 30 years as a critical care nurse and listening to so many beautiful stories it's time to listen to yours and make your marriage ceremony special to you. My clients have complemented how easy I have made it for them to get that special experience across to their guests, with an added giggle or two. I love to try new ideas and bring them into the mix. Happy to travel.
