About

Originally from England, I moved to Australia in 2012 and have called the beautiful South Coast of NSW home ever since. I became a life celebrant in November 2023, bringing warmth, inclusivity, and authenticity to each ceremony I craft. Whether you’re envisioning a beach, bush, or garden setting, I’m here to help make your day unforgettable. With a romantic, light-hearted approach, I work closely with couples to create ceremonies that feel genuine and true to their unique love story.

FAQ

Pretty much anything goes. I love the romance of a traditional wedding, and the fun of a themed ceremony. I specialise in weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, and other life celebrations on the beautiful South Coast, but am happy to travel to other areas.

I recommend booking as soon as you’ve set your date and location to ensure availability, especially during peak wedding seasons. However, I always do my best to accommodate couples whenever possible, even on shorter notice. Booking early also gives us plenty of time to personalise your ceremony and make sure every detail is exactly as you envision.

We begin with a relaxed chat to get to know you as a couple. From there, I guide you through each step, including writing vows and personalising your ceremony.

A typical ceremony can last anywhere between about 20 minutes to an hour, though I tailor the length to suit your vision and preferences.

Our first meeting, whether by voice/video call, or in person, is typically a casual, no-obligation meeting where you can get to know me and discuss your wedding plans. We will talk over the legal requirements and how to prepare a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM).  We will talk about my fees, inclusions and policies, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions and address any concerns about your day.

From the very instant I messaged Lou she was amazing. She was extremely responsive, passionate and really wanted to be a part of our small ceremony. She made everything seamless from the paperwork to the printing of our vows for us and also her partner came and took the most beautiful photos for us. Anyone looking to choose Lou for there celebrant is in for a lovely treat.

Thank you so much, Brooke, for your beautiful words! It was such a privilege to be part of your intimate ceremony and to help bring everything together for your special day. I’m so glad the process felt seamless for you, it’s always my goal to make things as easy and enjoyable as possible. And I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to my partner about the photos! Wishing you and Bill a lifetime of happiness together (and plenty of cuddles with the dogs too!).

Lou was incredible from start to finish. She took the time to get to know us, weaving our personalities and story beautifully into the ceremony. It felt so personal and heartfelt, like she’d known us for years. Lou’s calm presence on the day kept us at ease, and her ability to manage a surprise rain shower without missing a beat was amazing. Every guest commented on how special the ceremony was, and we couldn’t agree more!

We first met with Lou via an initial txt message by us, Lou was quick to respond and this led to a video call, Lou was incredibly friendly, excited and most of all very interested and listened in detail to exactly what we wanted for our day, Lou has an amazing knowledge and covers off every aspect of the process in a way that everything makes sense and easy to understand. Lou stayed in contact with us the whole way through the process leading to the day, and also made herself available for any questions or inquiries that we needed answered, we made some changes that Lou handled with ease. Lou was even able to supply some items for our day which was outside that made the wedding perfect for photos! I would highly recommend Lou to anyone who is looking for a celebrant, Lou is not just a celebrant, but also and amazing and passionate lady, who clearly loves what she does and I know for a fact she will make your day better ❤️ Bill and Brooke McNeilly
